TemplateContainerAttribute | |
System.Web.UI (system.web.dll) | sealed class |
This attribute is used when creating templated controls, which allow
the control user to specify a portion of the
control's user interface. This functionality is
implemented in controls like
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Repeater and
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataList, which format
bound data according to specified templates. In these controls, and
in any custom templated controls you make, the
TemplateContainerAttribute is applied to every
ITemplate property. The attribute specifies the
type of the container control the template will be instantiated in,
so that casting is not required to evaluate data binding expressions.
For example, the
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataList.ItemTemplate
property is a ITemplate property that allows you
to set or retrieve the template for items in the list. This
particular property has the attribute
[TemplateContainer(typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItem
))].
