ControlParser Class

Definition

Provides methods for creating a Web server Control control or ITemplate interface from a string of markup that represents a persisted control or template.

ControlParser

Examples

The following code example shows how to get the HTML markup for a control on a page using the ControlPersister class and how to instantiate a control from it using the ControlParser class. The example also shows how to display Microsoft Windows dialog boxes from a designer.
