TemplatedControlDesigner

Synopsis

This designer supports the template editing features that allow you to enter template information into a control at design-time. These features include a slew of methods for creating a template-editing frame, updating the control properties and design-time HTML accordingly, and providing context menu verbs. System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls.BaseDataListDesigner inherits from this class.
