Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overridable Property DisplayTemplateName As String
Get
Set
'Usage
Dim instance As BaseFieldControl
Dim value As String
value = instance.DisplayTemplateName
instance.DisplayTemplateName = value
public virtual string DisplayTemplateName { get; set; }
Property value
Type: System.String
A String that names a rendering template.
Remarks
With the default implementation, the default value of DisplayTemplateName is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). If it is set to a non-null value and DisplayTemplate has not been explicitly set, DisplayTemplate returns the ITemplate that is named by DisplayTemplateName. But if DisplayTemplatehas been set, its default get accessor ignores the value of DisplayTemplateName.
Notes to inheritors
With their default implementations, it is possible for DisplayTemplate to be set to a template other than the one that is named by DisplayTemplateName. Hence, with the default implementations, when your code sets DisplayTemplate, it should also set DisplayTemplateName to the name of the same ITemplate. Similarly, when your code sets DisplayTemplateName, it should also set DisplayTemplate to the same ITemplate. If you do not enforce logical consistency in this way and the two properties have inconsistent values at render time, DisplayTemplate determines the template that is used for rendering the field.
If you decide to use a template for rendering in Display mode, you can have your override of the get accessor of ControlTemplate return DisplayTemplate when the control mode is Display. Alternatively, your override of CreateChildControls can set TemplateName to DisplayTemplateName when the control mode is Display.
