Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use a custom class named TextSample, derived from the WebControl class, that uses the EnterStyle method to apply a ForeColor style to a string of text.
The EnterStyle method renders the HTML <span style="color:Navy;">. The ExitStyle method call closes the <span> element after the text has been rendered.

Remarks
Use the EnterStyle method to apply styles, such as background color or border width, to a block of markup.
The EnterStyle and ExitStyle methods allow a device adapter or control to create markup that uses the character formatting of the specified style. Use the same value for style in the EnterStyle method that you use in the corresponding ExitStyle method.
The EnterStyle overload of the EnterStyle(Style) method renders the opening tag of a <span> element. This method then adds the necessary attributes and style attributes to the opening tag of the <span> element to display the settings specified by the Style object. If you want to render a different markup element to contain the attributes and style attributes, use the EnterStyle(Style, HtmlTextWriterTag) overload.
