TemplateContainerAttribute Class

Definition

Declares the base type of the container control of a property that returns an ITemplate interface and is marked with the TemplateContainerAttribute attribute. The control with the ITemplate property must implement the INamingContainer interface. This class cannot be inherited.

public ref class TemplateContainerAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Property)]
public sealed class TemplateContainerAttribute : Attribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Property)>]
type TemplateContainerAttribute = class
    inherit Attribute
Public NotInheritable Class TemplateContainerAttribute

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create a templated control named TemplatedFirstControl and associate it with a container named FirstTemplateContainer. This allows the creation of custom controls that display the server time when the template is not specified and the template's content when the template is specified.

The following Web form demonstrates how to use the custom control created in the preceding code example. Two instances of the TemplatedFirstControl are placed on the page:

  • The first instance includes the template <FirstTemplate>.

  • The second instance does not include <FirstTemplate>; therefore, it shows just the time.

Remarks

The Type object that is passed in as a parameter of the TemplateContainerAttribute object is used by the parser as the type of Container object that is used in data-binding expressions. The control whose property returns an ITemplate interface and is marked with the TemplateContainerAttribute, must implement the INamingContainer interface.

For more information about using attributes, see Attributes.

Constructors

TemplateContainerAttribute(Type)

Initializes a new instance of the TemplateContainerAttribute class using the specified container type.

TemplateContainerAttribute(Type, BindingDirection)

Initializes a new instance of the TemplateContainerAttribute class using the specified container type and the BindingDirection property.

Properties

BindingDirection

Gets the binding direction of the container control.

ContainerType

Gets the container control type.

TypeId

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.

(Inherited from Attribute)

(Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()

When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.
