Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Syntax
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property DefaultTemplateName As String
Get
Dim value As String
value = Me.DefaultTemplateName
protected override string DefaultTemplateName { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.String
A String that names a rendering template in an .ascx file in the folder C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\template\controltemplates.
Remarks
The default implementation returns "TextField", which is the value of the ID attribute of a <RenderingTemplate> element in the DefaultTemplates.ascx file. It identifies the RenderingTemplate object that can be used as a fallback if the TemplateName property has never been set or if for any reason the template it names cannot be used.
If you override DefaultTemplateName, you must define your custom <RenderingTemplate> element in a custom .ascx file in the folder ...\controltemplates.
For readability and consistency with other classes derived from TemplateBasedControl, avoid using DefaultTemplateName to identify a template that you want to use in special contexts, such as on particular forms. Instead, use AlternateTemplateName.
