Step 1: Create an application using a table, such as the Orders table in Northwind.

Step 2: Drag and drop an ASPX textbox on the ShowOrdersTablePage from the Iron Speed Designer tool box. In this example, the ASPX text box is not within the Table control. Iron Speed Designer adds this HTML to the HTML layout page.

<asp:textbox id="myTextbox" runat="server" /></td>

Step 3: For .NET Framework 1.1, add this code in the "Page" class of ShowOrdersTablePage.aspx.cs

C#:

Public System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox myTextbox;

Visual Basic .NET:

Public myTextbox As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox

No extra code is required for .NET Framework 2.0 applications.

Step 4: Handle the PreRender event for the ShowOrdersTablePage and set the text of the ASPX text box. This is described in detail in the following sections.

...\<Application Folder>\Orders\ShowOrdersTablePage.aspx.cs

C#

public ShowOrdersTablePage() {     this.PreRender += new EventHandler(Page_PreRender); }   private void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) {     this.myTextbox.Text = "PAGE CLASS"; }

Visual Basic .NET:

Private Sub ShowOrdersTablePage_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.PreRender     Me.myTextbox.Text = "PAGE CLASS" End Sub

.NET Framework 1.1:

...\$lt;Application Folder>\Orders\ShowOrdersTablePage.aspx.cs

.NET Framework 2.0:

...\<Application Folder>\<App_Code>\Orders\ShowOrdersTablePage.Controls.cs

C# .NET Framework 1.1 TableControl class:

public OrdersTableControl() {     this.PreRender += new EventHandler(TableControl_PreRender); }   private void TableControl_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) {     this.Page.myTextbox.Text = "TABLE CLASS"; }

C# .NET Framework 1.1 RecordControl class:

public OrdersRecordControl() {     this.PreRender += new EventHandler(RecordControl_PreRender); }   private void RecordControl_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) {     this.Page.myTextbox.Text = "RECORD CLASS"; }

C# .NET Framework 2.0 TableControl class:

public OrdersTableControl() {     this.PreRender += new EventHandler(TableControl_PreRender); } private void TableControl_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) {     System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox myTextbox =         (System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox)(this.Page.FindControlRecursively("myTextbox"));     myTextbox.Text = "TABLE CONTROL CLASS"; }

C# .NET Framework 2.0 RecordControl class:

public OrdersRecordControl() {     this.PreRender += new EventHandler(RecordControl_PreRender); } private void RecordControl_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) {     System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox myTextbox =         (System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox)(this.Page.FindControlRecursively("myTextbox"));     myTextbox.Text = "RECORD CONTROL CLASS"; }

Visual Basic .NET .NET Framework 1.1 TableControl class and RecordControl classes:

Private Sub myOrdersTableControlRecordControl_PreRender(ByVal sender as Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.PreRender       Me.Page.myTextbox.Text = "TABLE CONTROL AND RECORD CONTROL CLASS"   End Sub

Visual Basic .NET .NET Framework 2.0 TableControl and RecordControl classes

Private Sub myOrdersTableControlRecordControl_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)     Handles Me.PreRender       Dim tempTextBox As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox =         CType(Me.Page.FindControlRecursively("myTextBox"),     System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox)     tempTextBox.Text = "TABLE CONTROL AND RECORD CONTROL CLASS" End Sub

Note that "myTextBox" is the ID of the ASPX Textbox.
