The following example overrides the DataBind method in a custom ASP.NET server control. It begins by calling the base OnDataBinding method and then uses the Clear method to delete all the child controls and the ClearChildViewState method to delete any saved view-state settings for those child controls. Finally, the ChildControlsCreated property is set to true. The control then uses the IsTrackingViewState property to determine whether view-state change tracking is enabled for the control. If it is not enabled, the TrackViewState method is called.
public override void DataBind()
{
base.OnDataBinding(EventArgs.Empty);
// Reset the control's state.
Controls.Clear();
// Check for HasChildViewState to avoid unnecessary calls to ClearChildViewState.
if (HasChildViewState)
ClearChildViewState();
ChildControlsCreated = true;
if (!IsTrackingViewState)
TrackViewState();
}
Public Overrides Sub DataBind()
MyBase.OnDataBinding(EventArgs.Empty)
' Reset the control's state.
Controls.Clear()
' Check for HasChildViewState to avoid unnecessary calls to ClearChildViewState.
If HasChildViewState Then
ClearChildViewState()
End If
ChildControlsCreated = True
If Not IsTrackingViewState Then
TrackViewState()
End If
End Sub
Remarks
This method is called automatically at the end of the Init event in the server control's lifecycle.
Invoke this method when you develop templated data-bound controls. This method alerts ASP.NET to monitor changes to a server control's view state, which is required when you override the Control.DataBind method.
