ControlBuilder Class

Definition

Supports the page parser in building a control and the child controls it contains.

public ref class ControlBuilder
public class ControlBuilder
type ControlBuilder = class
Public Class ControlBuilder
Inheritance
ControlBuilder
Derived

Examples

The following code example creates a Table control whose attributes and content are defined at the time the table is built. The following is the command line to use to build the executable.

Remarks

By default, every control on a page is associated with a default ControlBuilder class. During parsing, the ASP.NET page framework builds a tree of ControlBuilder objects corresponding to the tree of controls for the page. The ControlBuilder tree is then used to generate page code to create the control tree. In addition to child controls, the ControlBuilder defines the behavior of how the content within control tags is parsed. You can override this default behavior by defining your own custom control builder class. This is done by applying a ControlBuilderAttribute attribute to your control builder class as follows:

[ControlBuilderAttribute(typeof(ControlBuilderType))]

Constructors

ControlBuilder()

Initializes a new instance of the ControlBuilder class.

Fields

DesignerFilter

Represents the "__designer" literal string.

Properties

BindingContainerBuilder

Gets the control builder that corresponds to the binding container for the control that this builder creates.

BindingContainerType

Gets the type of the binding container for the control that this builder creates.

ComplexPropertyEntries

Gets a collection of complex property entries.

ControlType

Gets the Type for the control to be created.

CurrentFilterResolutionService

Gets an IFilterResolutionService object that is used to manage device-filter related services when parsing and persisting controls in the designer.

DeclareType

Gets the type that will be used by code generation to declare the control.

FChildrenAsProperties

Gets a value that determines whether the control has a ParseChildrenAttribute with ChildrenAsProperties set to true.

FIsNonParserAccessor

Gets a value that determines whether the control implements the IParserAccessor interface.

HasAspCode

Gets a value indicating whether the control contains any code blocks.

ID

Gets or sets the identifier property for the control to be built.

InDesigner

Returns whether the ControlBuilder is running in the designer.

InPageTheme

Gets a Boolean value indicating whether this ControlBuilder object is used to generate page themes.

ItemType

Gets the type set on the binding container.

Localize

Gets a Boolean value indicating whether the control that is created by this ControlBuilder object is localized.

NamingContainerType

Gets the type of the naming container for the control that this builder creates.

PageVirtualPath

Gets the virtual path of a page to be built by this ControlBuilder instance.

Parser

Gets the TemplateParser responsible for parsing the control.

ServiceProvider

Gets the service object for this ControlBuilder object.

SubBuilders

Gets a list of child ControlBuilder objects for this ControlBuilder object.

TagName

Gets the tag name for the control to be built.

TemplatePropertyEntries

Gets a collection of template property entries.

ThemeResolutionService

Gets an IThemeResolutionService object that is used in design time to manage control themes and skins.

Methods

AllowWhitespaceLiterals()

Determines whether white space literals are permitted in the content between a control's opening and closing tags. This method is called by the ASP.NET page framework.

AppendLiteralString(String)

Adds the specified literal content to a control. This method is called by the ASP.NET page framework.

AppendSubBuilder(ControlBuilder)

Adds builders to the ControlBuilder object for any child controls that belong to the container control.

BuildObject()
