FormViewDesigner.UsePreviewControl Property
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Gets a value indicating whether the designer should use a temporary copy rather than the actual control that is associated with the designer to generate the design-time markup.
protected:
virtual property bool UsePreviewControl { bool get(); };protected override bool UsePreviewControl { get; }member this.UsePreviewControl : boolProtected Overrides ReadOnly Property UsePreviewControl As BooleanProperty Value
Always returns true.
Remarks
Because the UsePreviewControl property is always true, the designer uses a View control that contains a copy of the associated FormView control to generate the design-time markup. The View control does not affect any persistence for the FormView. If the UsePreviewControl property has been overridden to return false, the designer will use the associated FormView itself to generate the design-time markup.
Notes to Inheritors
You can override the UsePreviewControl property to return false or to determine its value based on whether the control is marked with a class level SupportsPreviewControlAttribute object. If the UsePreviewControl is not overridden, the FormView control ignores the SupportsPreviewControlAttribute.
