RadioButtonList.Render(HtmlTextWriter) Method

Definition

Displays the RadioButtonList control on the client.

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

Parameters

writer
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 RadioButtonList control is always displayed with descriptive text.

using System.Web;
using System.Security.Permissions;

namespace Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls
{
  [AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Level=AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
  public sealed class CustomRadioButtonListRender : System.Web.UI.WebControls.RadioButtonList
  {
    protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
      // Call the base RenderContents method.
      base.Render(writer);

      // Append some text to the Image.
      writer.Write("Experience Windows Server 2003 and Visual Studio® .NET 2003.");
    }
  }
}

Remarks

This method is used primarily by control developers in custom controls that derive from the RadioButtonList class.

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