Property Value
Type: System.String
A String object that represents the name of a rendering template that renders the control in special contexts. The default is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Remarks
The AlternateTemplateName property returns the value of the DefaultAlternateTemplateName property if it has not been specifically set to something else.
Notes to Callers
Typically, calling code should set the AlternateTemplateName property to the value of the ID attribute of a <RenderingTemplate> element in an .ascx file that is located in the following folder:
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\template\controltemplates
The ID attribute identifies the RenderingTemplate object that renders the control in contexts, such as on particular forms, in which using the template named by the TemplateName property would be inappropriate.
