Definition

Represents an editable content region within the design-time markup for the associated control.

Examples

This example shows how to create a control with two clickable regions and an EditableDesignerRegion object with two views, or templates. Compile the project, then open the page in a visual designer and switch to design (WYSIWYG) view. There are two clickable views, View1 and View2. Click View1 and drag the CheckBox control from the lower part of the page into the empty designer region just below the clickable regions. Click View2 and drag the RadioButton control into the empty designer region. Click View1 again, and the region with the CheckBox reappears. Click View2 and the region with the RadioButton reappears. Switch back to source view to see how your changes are persisted in the HTML markup

Note

Your project must have a reference to the System.Design.dll assembly.
