Examples
This example demonstrates how to specify values declaratively for several attributes of the controls
section, which can also be accessed as members of the TagPrefixInfo class.
<system.web>
<pages>
<controls>
<!-- Searches all linked assemblies for the namespace -->
<add tagPrefix="MyTags1" namespace=" MyNameSpace "/>
<!-- Uses a specified assembly -->
<add tagPrefix="MyTags2" namespace="MyNameSpace"
assembly="MyAssembly"/>
<!-- Uses the specified source for the user control -->
<add tagprefix="MyTags3" tagname="MyCtrl" src="MyControl.ascx"/>
</controls>
</pages>
</system.web>
The following code example shows how to use the TagPrefixInfo class to programmatically modify tag prefix settings. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the PagesSection class.
// Get all current Controls in the collection.
for (int i = 0; i < pagesSection.Controls.Count; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("Control {0}:", i);
Console.WriteLine(" TagPrefix = '{0}' ",
pagesSection.Controls[i].TagPrefix);
Console.WriteLine(" TagName = '{0}' ",
pagesSection.Controls[i].TagName);
Console.WriteLine(" Source = '{0}' ",
pagesSection.Controls[i].Source);
Console.WriteLine(" Namespace = '{0}' ",
pagesSection.Controls[i].Namespace);
Console.WriteLine(" Assembly = '{0}' ",
pagesSection.Controls[i].Assembly);
}
// Create a new TagPrefixInfo object.
System.Web.Configuration.TagPrefixInfo tagPrefixInfo =
new System.Web.Configuration.TagPrefixInfo("MyCtrl", "MyNameSpace", "MyAssembly", "MyControl", "MyControl.ascx");
// Execute the Add Method.
pagesSection.Controls.Add(tagPrefixInfo);
// Add a TagPrefixInfo object using a constructor.
pagesSection.Controls.Add(
new System.Web.Configuration.TagPrefixInfo(
"MyCtrl", "MyNameSpace", "MyAssembly", "MyControl",
"MyControl.ascx"));
' Get all current Controls in the collection.
Dim j As Int32
For j = 0 To pagesSection.Controls.Count - 1
Console.WriteLine("Control {0}:", j)
Console.WriteLine(" TagPrefix = '{0}' ", _
pagesSection.Controls(j).TagPrefix)
Console.WriteLine(" TagName = '{0}' ", _
pagesSection.Controls(j).TagName)
Console.WriteLine(" Source = '{0}' ", _
pagesSection.Controls(j).Source)
Console.WriteLine(" Namespace = '{0}' ", _
pagesSection.Controls(j).Namespace)
Console.WriteLine(" Assembly = '{0}' ", _
pagesSection.Controls(j).Assembly)
Next
' Create a new TagPrefixInfo object.
Dim tagPrefixInfo As System.Web.Configuration.TagPrefixInfo = _
New System.Web.Configuration.TagPrefixInfo("MyCtrl", "MyNameSpace", "MyAssembly", "MyControl", "MyControl.ascx")
' Execute the Add Method.
pagesSection.Controls.Add(tagPrefixInfo)
' Add a TagPrefixInfo object using a constructor.
pagesSection.Controls.Add( _
New System.Web.Configuration.TagPrefixInfo( _
"MyCtrl", "MyNameSpace", "MyAssembly", "MyControl", _
"MyControl.ascx"))
Remarks
The TagPrefixInfo class allows you to programmatically access and modify tag-prefix information stored in a configuration file. It provides the same functionality as the ASP.NET @Register
directive. Tag prefixes associate a "namespace" in ASP.NET to the assemblies and namespaces that must be included for custom controls and user controls to work properly. TagPrefixInfo objects are stored as members of a TagPrefixCollection object. The TagPrefixCollection class allows you to programmatically access and modify the controls
subsection of the pages
section of a configuration file.
TagPrefixInfo objects are added to the collection using the add
element and specifying a value for the tagPrefix
attribute along with values for other relevant attributes. The other required information varies based on the kind of control you will use with the specified tag prefix:
If it is a user control, you must define the TagPrefix, TagName, and Source properties.
If it is a custom control, you must define the TagPrefix, Namespace, and Assembly properties. The Assembly property is not required if the control is in the application code directory.
The same tagPrefix
value can be used to map to multiple assemblies or namespaces.
Note
When a source is specified, the user control itself must not be in the same directory as the page. If it is, you get a run-time error when you attempt to load the page.
