Examples

The following code example illustrates the declarative use of the Description property in a part control. This example requires the custom WebPart control TextDisplayWebPart, which can be found in the Example section of the Part class summary.

After you load the page in a browser, if you position your mouse pointer over the title text of the first control instance, the description text appears in a ToolTip.

Remarks

The Description property is typically a string that is used in catalogs that provide lists of part controls, and as a ToolTip in the part control's title bar. The content of the Description appears in a ToolTip when you position your mouse pointer over the title text in a part control's title bar. The ToolTip text is created from the value of the DisplayTitle property, followed by a hyphen, followed by the Description property value.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.

Notes to Inheritors

Derived classes such as WebPart can override Description to enable user personalization of the control's description.
