Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Returns a value that indicates whether a connection point can participate in connections.
public:
virtual bool GetEnabled(System::Web::UI::Control ^ control);
public virtual bool GetEnabled (System.Web.UI.Control control);
abstract member GetEnabled : System.Web.UI.Control -> bool
override this.GetEnabled : System.Web.UI.Control -> bool
Public Overridable Function GetEnabled (control As Control) As Boolean
Parameters
Returns
true
if the control can create a connection point to participate in a connection; otherwise, false
.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates the use of the GetEnabled method on both ProviderConnectionPoint and ConsumerConnectionPoint objects. This code example shows only the Web page that contains the code to access the property; for the full code required to run the example, see the Example section of the ConnectionPoint class overview.
The code in the Button2_Click
method of the Web page accesses the GetEnabled method on each of the connection point objects and writes each value to a label. Execute the code by clicking the Connection Point Details button after the page is loaded in a browser.

Remarks
The GetEnabled method in the base ConnectionPoint class always returns true
, but derived classes can override the method to return true
or false
at different times, based on the state of control
.
