Examples

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Text;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Security.Permissions;
using System.Web;
namespace Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls
{
[AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Level=AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
[AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level=AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
public class SimpleCustomControl : DetailsView
{
protected override AutoGeneratedField CreateAutoGeneratedRow(AutoGeneratedFieldProperties fieldProperties)
{
// Create an AutoGeneratedField object.
AutoGeneratedField field = new AutoGeneratedField(fieldProperties.DataField);
// Set the properties of the AutoGeneratedField using
// the values from the AutoGeneratedFieldProperties
// object contained in the fieldProperties parameter.
((IStateManager)field).TrackViewState();
field.HeaderText = fieldProperties.Name;
field.SortExpression = fieldProperties.Name;
field.ReadOnly = fieldProperties.IsReadOnly;
field.DataType = fieldProperties.Type;
return field;
}
}
}

Remarks
Use the DataField property to specify the name of the data field to bind to the AutoGeneratedField object. The AutoGeneratedField object automatically displays the values in the appropriate control, based on the Type property. For example, Boolean values are displayed in check box controls, while String values are displayed as plain text.
