Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a control class and a control designer class that override the Initialize method to initialize internal variables.

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.Design;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace AspNet.Samples
{
    // Create a custom class to render the Text property
    [Designer(typeof(SimpleDesigner)), DefaultProperty("Text"), 
    ToolboxData("<{0}:Simple runat=\"server\"></{0}:Simple>")]
    public sealed class Simple : WebControl
    {
        public Simple()
        { }

        // Create a Text property
        [Browsable(true), Bindable(true), 
            PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.Attribute)]
        public string Text
        {
            get
            {
                object o = ViewState["TextProp"];
                return (o == null) ? "Sample Text" : (string)o;
            }
            set { ViewState["TextProp"] = value; }
        }

        // Render the text inside the control
        protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer)
        {
            writer.Write(Text);
        }
    }
}

    //Create a designer class for the Simple control
    public sealed class SimpleDesigner : ControlDesigner

Remarks

The Initialize method is called by the design host to complete the following actions:

  • Load the control designer with the component to design.

  • Set up the view on the control using the SetViewFlags method.

  • Verify that the associated control is of the right type.
