Remarks

WebPartZoneDesigner provides design-time rendering of WebPartZone controls. It includes support for editable designer regions, templates, and auto-formats to allow a page developer to easily alter the appearance of the control.

The public AutoFormats and TemplateGroups collections provide quick formatting options for the page developer and can be safely overridden to change the default appearance of a custom control.

Notes to Inheritors

If you want to override the GetDesignTimeHtml() method to change the design-time appearance of your custom control, make sure to use GetDesignTimeHtml(DesignerRegionCollection) and invoke the parent method before adding custom code, because that is the method that creates the rendering for the regions in the control. If you override GetDesignTimeHtml() and do not call GetDesignTimeHtml(DesignerRegionCollection) somewhere in the method, your designer regions will not be rendered.
