CompositeDataBoundControl.CreateChildControls Method

Definition

Creates the control hierarchy that is used to render a composite data-bound control.

Overloads

CreateChildControls()

Creates the control hierarchy that is used to render a composite data-bound control based on the values that are stored in view state.

CreateChildControls(IEnumerable, Boolean)

When overridden in an abstract class, creates the control hierarchy that is used to render the composite data-bound control based on the values from the specified data source.

CreateChildControls()

Creates the control hierarchy that is used to render a composite data-bound control based on the values that are stored in view state.

protected public:
 override void CreateChildControls();
protected internal override void CreateChildControls ();
override this.CreateChildControls : unit -> unit
Protected Friend Overrides Sub CreateChildControls ()

Remarks

The CreateChildControls() method is a helper method that is used by classes that derive from the CompositeDataBoundControl class to create the control hierarchy for a composite data-bound control. This overload of the method creates the control hierarchy based on values from view state, rather than directly from the data source.

Applies to

CreateChildControls(IEnumerable, Boolean)

When overridden in an abstract class, creates the control hierarchy that is used to render the composite data-bound control based on the values from the specified data source.

protected:
 abstract int CreateChildControls(System::Collections::IEnumerable ^ dataSource, bool dataBinding);
protected abstract int CreateChildControls (System.Collections.IEnumerable dataSource, bool dataBinding);
override this.CreateChildControls : System.Collections.IEnumerable * bool -> int
Protected MustOverride Function CreateChildControls (dataSource As IEnumerable, dataBinding As Boolean) As Integer

Parameters

dataSource
IEnumerable

An IEnumerable that contains the values to bind to the control.

dataBinding
Boolean

true to indicate that the CreateChildControls(IEnumerable, Boolean) is called during data binding; otherwise, false.

Returns

The number of items created by the CreateChildControls(IEnumerable, Boolean).

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the CreateChildControls(IEnumerable, Boolean) method in a custom control to create the control hierarchy.

Remarks

The CreateChildControls() method is a helper method that is used by classes that derive from the CompositeDataBoundControl class to create the control hierarchy for a composite data-bound control. When extending the CompositeDataBoundControl class, you must override the CreateChildControls() method to create your own control hierarchy. For more information on creating a composite control, see Developing Custom ASP.NET Server Controls.
