The HtmlTextWriter object that receives the rendered content.
Examples
The following example overrides the RenderChildren method in a custom server control. It determines whether the current control has any child controls in its ControlCollection object. If it does, it uses the Count property to iterate through the collection. As it encounters each child control, it uses the RenderControl method to render the parent control, and all of its child controls, to the containing page.
The overridden Render method then calls the overridden RenderChildren method.
// Override default implementation to Render children according to needs.
protected override void RenderChildren(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
if (HasControls())
{
// Render Children in reverse order.
for(int i = Controls.Count - 1; i >= 0; --i)
{
Controls[i].RenderControl(output);
}
}
}
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
output.Write("<br>Message from Control : " + Message);
output.Write("Showing Custom controls created in reverse" +
"order");
// Render Controls.
RenderChildren(output);
}
' Override default implementation to Render children according to needs.
Protected Overrides Sub RenderChildren(output As HtmlTextWriter)
If HasControls() Then
' Render Children in reverse order.
Dim i As Integer
For i = Controls.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
Controls(i).RenderControl(output)
Next
End If
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub Render(output As HtmlTextWriter)
output.Write(("<br>Message from Control : " + Message))
output.Write(("Showing Custom controls created in reverse" + "order"))
' Render Controls.
RenderChildren(output)
End Sub
End Class
Remarks
This method notifies ASP.NET to render any Active Server Pages (ASP) code on the page. If no ASP code exists on the page, this method renders any child controls for the server control. This method is called by the Render method.
