CheckBoxList.Render(HtmlTextWriter) Method

Definition

Displays the CheckBoxList on the client.

protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer);
protected internal override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer);

Parameters

HtmlTextWriter

A HtmlTextWriter that contains the output stream for rendering on the client.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the Render method in a custom server control so that the CheckBoxList always displays an image.

      </aspSample:CustomCheckBoxListRender>

    </form>

</html>
using System.Web;
using System.Security.Permissions;

namespace Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls
{
    [AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
    public sealed class CustomCheckBoxListRender : System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBoxList
    {
        protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
        {
        // Create and render a new Image Web control.
        System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image image = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image();
        image.ID = "Image1";
        image.ImageUrl = "image.jpg"; 
        image.AlternateText = "Image for CheckBoxList1.";
        image.RenderControl(writer);

        // Call the base class's Render method.
        base.Render(writer);
        }
    }
}

Remarks

The Render method is used primarily by control developers in custom controls that derive from the CheckBoxList class.

The Render implementation for a CheckBoxList control initializes a RepeatInfo object for the list, and calls the RenderRepeater method, which in turn uses the RenderItem method to render individual check box list items.
