    {
      // Add a client-side onclick event to the button.
      writer.AddAttribute(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Onclick, "alert('Hello World');");

      // Update the text of the button to be shown in the color Red
      writer.AddStyleAttribute(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriterStyle.Color, "Red");

      // Call the base's AddAttributesToRender method
      base.AddAttributesToRender(writer);
    }
  }
}
