Setting Web Forms Server Control Properties
ASP.NET Web Forms Web Forms Server Controls Programming Web Forms Server Controls
Setting a control's properties defines its appearance and behavior. This topic addresses how to set control properties at design time.
Setting Properties using ASP.NET Syntax
Control properties can be set as part of a control's declaration.
- In the .aspx file, set the attribute of the control declaration corresponding to the property you want. The exact attribute you set depends on the control and the property.
NOTE: In Web server controls, the property names do not have the same names as HTML attributes; be sure you are using the correct property name.
The following example sets the MaxLength property of an HtmlInputText HTML server control:
<INPUT id="myTextBox" type=text runat=server maxlength=20>
The following example sets the TextBoxMode property of TextBox ASP.NET control:
<asp:TextBox Text="Hi" runat=server TextBoxMode=Multiline />
