Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to close a <font> element by using the WriteEndTag method. The WriteEndTag method calls the GetTagName method to convert the Font value to a string.

// Close the Font element.
WriteEndTag( GetTagName( HtmlTextWriterTag::Font ) );

// Close the Font element.
Write(GetTagName(HtmlTextWriterTag.Font));

    ' Close the Font element.
    Me.WriteEndTag(GetTagName(HtmlTextWriterTag.Font))
End If

Remarks

If tagKey is not a valid HtmlTextWriterTag value, the GetTagName method returns an empty string ("").
