Remarks
The ControlPersister class provides methods that can persist a Control control or an ITemplate interface implementation as a string of aspx code. The implementation of these methods is driven by metadata attributes, such as the DefaultValueAttribute, PersistenceModeAttribute, and DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute.
Note
The Web Forms page designer does not support the Reset<em>PropertyName</em> method that is optionally exposed by Microsoft Windows Forms-based controls for property persistence.
To create a Control object or an ITemplate interface by parsing a string of control- or template-persistence data, use the ControlParser class methods.
Methods

| MemberwiseClone() |
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
| PersistControl(Control, IDesignerHost) |
Gets a string of data that represents the persisted form of the specified control, using the specified designer host. |
| PersistControl(Control) |
Gets a string of data that represents the persisted form of the specified control. |
| PersistControl(TextWriter, Control, IDesignerHost) |
Outputs a string of data that represents the persisted form of the specified control to the specified TextWriter, using the specified designer host. |
| PersistControl(TextWriter, Control) |
Outputs a string of data that represents the persisted form of the specified control to the specified TextWriter. |
| PersistInnerProperties(Object, IDesignerHost) |
Gets a string of data that can persist the inner properties of the specified control. |
| PersistInnerProperties(TextWriter, Object, IDesignerHost) |
Outputs a string of data that can persist the inner properties of the specified control to the specified TextWriter, using the specified designer host. |
