Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

Syntax
'Declaration
<TemplateContainerAttribute(GetType(TemplateContainer))> _
Public Property AlternateTemplate As ITemplate
Get
Set
'Usage
Dim instance As TemplateBasedControl
Dim value As ITemplate
value = instance.AlternateTemplate
instance.AlternateTemplate = value
[TemplateContainerAttribute(typeof(TemplateContainer))]
public ITemplate AlternateTemplate { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Web.UI.ITemplate
A ITemplate object that renders the control.
Remarks
If the AlternateTemplate property is not set, the property returns the template named by the AlternateTemplateName property. (If the latter property is not specifically set, it returns the value of the DefaultAlternateTemplateName property.)
Notes to Callers
The set accessor for the AlternateTemplate property does not set the value for the AlternateTemplateName property. For this reason, the two property values could be logically inconsistent. Consider leaving the AlternateTemplate property unset and instead, set the value of the AlternateTemplateName property. In this way, you are indirectly setting the value of the AlternateTemplate property.
