NOTE: This API is now obsolete.

Renders HTML in a Web Part when a work item has timed out.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

'Declaration
<ObsoleteAttribute("Use Page.RegisterAsyncTask instead.")> _
Protected Overridable Sub RenderWorkItemTimeout ( _
    writer As HtmlTextWriter _
)
'Usage
Dim writer As HtmlTextWriter

Me.RenderWorkItemTimeout(writer)

[ObsoleteAttribute("Use Page.RegisterAsyncTask instead.")]
protected virtual void RenderWorkItemTimeout(
    HtmlTextWriter writer
)

• writer
  Type: System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter

  An HtmlTextWriter object that defines the output to render when a work item times out.

If a Web Part does not override the RenderWorkItemTimeout method, a default system error message is rendered. The timeout setting is specified by the value of the Timeout attribute of the <WebPartWorkItem> tag that is contained within the <SharePoint> tag in the web.config file.

The following code example shows how to override the RenderWorkItemTimeout method.
