ShouldSerializeAllowMinimize Method

The ShouldSerializeAllowMinimize method of the WebPart class returns whether the AllowMinimize property has changed from its default value.

Return Value

true if the property value has changed from the default value; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The ShouldSerializeAllowMinimize method is provided because the AllowMinimize property does not have a simple default value. This method indicates whether the property has changed from its default value. You typically invoke this method if you are developing a designer for the WebPart class, or are creating your own Web Part or tool part, so that you can avoid unnecessarily persisting default values.

If you override this function, your function should return true if the corresponding property has changed from its default, or if the SerializeAll property is true. For example:

public override bool ShouldSerializeAllowMinimize()
{
    return SerializeAll || defaultAllowMinimize != _allowMinimize;
}
