    public sealed class CustomHtmlInputButtonOnPreRender : System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputButton
    {
        protected override void OnPreRender(System.EventArgs e)
        {
            // Call the base class's OnPreRender method.
            base.OnPreRender(e);

            // Always display the HtmlInputButton with bold text.
            this.Style.Add("font-weight", "bold");
        }
    }
}

Remarks

The OnPreRender method overrides the Control.OnPreRender method. OnPreRender is used primarily by control developers.
