Remarks

Use this class (or one of its derived classes) as a base for deriving specific types of template-rendered controls. You can use an existing template that is included with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or create your own.

Templates are objects of type ITemplate. Typically they serve as the value of the RenderingTemplate.Template property. RenderingTemplate objects are defined in .ascx files located in the following folder:

%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\template\controltemplates

Thread safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
