Extender control

Hi,

Can someone explain how the extender concept works? I like the fact that you can drop an extender on a page for a particular type and all types on the page will extend a couple of properties.

I would like to apply this to some other scenarios but I dont necessarily want to use ajax to do it.

How does this work?

Is the source code available to find out?

Regards

hello.

extenders will only wrap client side behaviors so that it's easier to associate them with page controls. in my opinion, you should only use them if you're using client behaviors and you want to define its properties from the server side.

I find the use for extenders limited / tedious though. Remember that one extender is required per control you want to extend.

If you want to extend the behaviour of the whole type without adding any controls, you should look into control adapters.

Ooops, forgot the URL to the atlas control toolkit. This is the best way (IMHO) to learn about the mechanics: http://www.codeplex.com/Project/FileDownload.aspx?ProjectName=AtlasControlToolkit&DownloadId=4059

I will investigate this further, thanks for the feedback!!!

Thanks, I will check it out.
