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 or sets the URL to an image used to represent a Web Parts control in the control's own title bar.
public:
property System::String ^ TitleIconImageUrl { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };public string TitleIconImageUrl { get; set; }member this.TitleIconImageUrl : string with get, setPublic Property TitleIconImageUrl As StringProperty Value
A string that represents the URL to an image. The default value is an empty string ("").
Examples
The following code example demonstrates declarative and programmatic use of the TitleIconImageUrl property. The complete source code for the example is found in the Example section of the IWebPart class overview.
The first part of the code example shows how the user control implements the TitleIconImageUrl property.
public string TitleIconImageUrl
{
get
{
object objTitle = ViewState["TitleIconImageUrl"];
if (objTitle == null)
return String.Empty;
return (string)objTitle;
}
set
{
ViewState["TitleIconImageUrl"] = value;
}
}
Public Property TitleIconImageUrl() As String _
Implements IWebPart.TitleIconImageUrl
Get
Dim objTitle As Object = ViewState("TitleIconImageUrl")
If objTitle Is Nothing Then
Return String.Empty
End If
Return CStr(objTitle)
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
ViewState("TitleIconImageUrl") = value
End Set
End Property
The second part of the code example demonstrates the method in the user control that programmatically sets the value of the TitleIconImageUrl property when a user selects the appropriate property name from the radio buttons on the page, sets a new value in the text box, and then clicks the Update button.
Important
This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.
// Update the selected IWebPart property value.
void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String propertyValue = Server.HtmlEncode(TextBox3.Text);
TextBox3.Text = String.Empty;
switch (RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue)
{
case "title":
this.Title = propertyValue;
break;
case "description":
this.Description = propertyValue;
break;
case "catalogiconimageurl":
this.CatalogIconImageUrl = propertyValue;
break;
case "titleiconimageurl":
this.TitleIconImageUrl = propertyValue;
break;
case "titleurl":
this.TitleUrl = propertyValue;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
' Update the selected IWebPart property value.
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim propertyValue As String = Server.HtmlEncode(TextBox3.Text)
TextBox3.Text = String.Empty
Select Case RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue
Case "title"
Me.Title = propertyValue
Case "description"
Me.Description = propertyValue
Case "catalogiconimageurl"
Me.CatalogIconImageUrl = propertyValue
Case "titleiconimageurl"
Me.TitleIconImageUrl = propertyValue
Case "titleurl"
Me.TitleUrl = propertyValue
Case Else
End Select
End Sub 'Button1_Click
The third part of the code example shows how the user control that implements the IWebPart interface is referenced in a WebPartZone control, and how the TitleIconImageUrl property is set declaratively on the control. Note that if you do not provide the URL to a real image, a placeholder for the icon appears in the title bar.

Remarks
The TitleIconImageUrl property provides a way to associate an icon with a WebPart control. The icon appears in the control's own title bar. For thematic consistency, application developers might want to make this icon similar to the image that represents the control in a catalog of Web Parts controls (the image referenced in the CatalogIconImageUrl property).
As it is implemented in the Web Parts control set, the TitleIconImageUrl property can be personalized by end users to change the image or icon that appears in a control's title bar.
