WebPartVerb.ImageUrl Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts

Assembly:

System.Web.dll

Gets or sets a string containing a URL to an image that represents a verb in the user interface (UI).

public virtual string ImageUrl { get; set; }

Property Value

String

A string that contains the URL to an image. The default is an empty string ("").

Examples

The following code example shows how to override the ImageUrl property in a derived class inheriting from WebPartVerb. This source code shows only the portion of the code for the custom zone and the WebPartVerb class that overrides the property. The rest of the code required to run the example can be found in the Example section of the WebPartVerb class overview. Note that the sample code assigns a fictitious icon to the ImageUrl property; if you assign a real image or icon, it will appear next to the verb in the verbs menu.

Remarks

The ImageUrl property provides a way to use a customized visual representation for verbs as an alternative to the default rendering, which is typically a button or a hyperlink. If you assign a URL to the property, the image appears in verbs menus (next to the verb) or directly in forms (in place of a button or hyperlink that represents the verb).
