Examples
The following code example shows how to override the OnTagRender method. If a Font element is being rendered, the OnTagRender override uses the IsAttributeDefined method to determine whether a Size attribute is being rendered. If not, it uses the AddAttribute method to create a Size attribute and set its value to 20pt
.
// If a <font> element is to be rendered, check whether it contains
// a size attribute. If it does not, add one and set its value to
// 20 points, then return true.
protected override bool OnTagRender(string name, HtmlTextWriterTag key)
{
if (key == HtmlTextWriterTag.Font)
{
if (!(IsAttributeDefined(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Size)))
{
AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Size, "20pt");
return true;
}
}
// If the element is not a <font> element, use
// the base functionality of the OnTagRenderMethod.
return base.OnTagRender(name, key);
}
' If a <font> element is to be rendered, check whether it contains
' a size attribute. If it does not, add one and set its value to
' 20 points, then return true.
Protected Overrides Function OnTagRender( _
name As String, _
key As HtmlTextWriterTag) _
As Boolean
If (key = HtmlTextWriterTag.Font) Then
If Not (IsAttributeDefined(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Size)) Then
AddAttribute(HtmlTextWriterAttribute.Size, "20pt")
Return True
End If
End If
' If the element is not a <font> element, use
' the base functionality of the OnTagRenderMethod.
Return MyBase.OnTagRender(name, key)
End Function
Remarks
The HtmlTextWriter class implementation of the OnTagRender method always returns true
. The OnTagRender overrides can determine whether an element will be rendered to the page.
Notes to Inheritors
If you inherit from the HtmlTextWriter class, you can override the OnTagRender(String, HtmlTextWriterTag) method to return false
to prevent a markup element from being rendered at all or for a particular markup language. For example, if you do not want the object that is derived from HtmlTextWriter to render the <font>
element, you can override the OnTagRender(String, HtmlTextWriterTag) method to return false
when a page is requested that contains a <font>
element.
