protected:
override System::String ^ GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml();
protected override string GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml ();
override this.GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml : unit -> string
Protected Overrides Function GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml () As String
Returns
A string containing markup text that renders to a placeholder on the design surface.
Examples
The following code example shows how to override the GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml method in a class that is inherited from the LoginViewDesigner class to change the appearance of a control that is derived from the LoginView class at design time. The example generates the markup for a placeholder that includes the names of all the RoleGroup objects that are defined for the associated control.
// Generate the design-time markup for the control
// when the template is empty.
protected override string GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml()
{
// Generate a design-time placeholder containing the names of all
// the role groups.
MyLoginView myLoginViewCtl = (MyLoginView)ViewControl;
RoleGroupCollection roleGroups = myLoginViewCtl.RoleGroups;
string roleNames = null;
// If there are any role groups, form a string of their names.
if (roleGroups.Count > 0)
{
roleNames = "Role Groups: <br /> " +
roleGroups[0].ToString();
for( int rgX = 1; rgX < roleGroups.Count; rgX++ )
roleNames +=
"<br /> " + roleGroups[rgX].ToString();
}
return CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml( roleNames);
} // GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml
' Generate the design-time markup for the control
' when the template is empty.
Protected Overrides Function GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml() As String
' Generate a design-time placeholder containing the names of all
' the role groups.
Dim myLoginViewCtl As MyLoginView = CType(ViewControl, MyLoginView)
Dim roleGroups As RoleGroupCollection = myLoginViewCtl.RoleGroups
Dim RoleNames As String = Nothing
Dim rgX As Integer
' If there are any role groups, form a string of their names.
If roleGroups.Count > 0 Then
roleNames = "Role Groups: <br /> " & _
roleGroups(0).ToString()
For rgX = 1 To roleGroups.Count - 1
roleNames &= "<br /> " & _
roleGroups(rgX).ToString()
Next rgX
End If
Return CreatePlaceHolderDesignTimeHtml(roleNames)
End Function ' GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml
Remarks
The GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml method first formats a string message that specifies the name of the current template of the associated LoginView control and also specifies that the template is empty. Then the GetEmptyDesignTimeHtml generates the markup for a placeholder containing that message.
