ASP.NET by Example

The ListControl Class

All ASP.NET list controls inherit from ListControl in the System.Web. UI.WebControls namespace. Inheritance is the foundation of OOP design and is the means by which one class acquires all the behavior and attributes of its parent class. The new class indicates only how it is different from its parent by overriding or adding to the properties, methods, and events of the parent class. Table 6.1 shows a summary of the properties, methods, and events of the ListControl class. Each of the four controls discussed in this chapter shares these common attributes, so please take a moment to review them before the first example.
