Syntax

CSharp

[DefaultValueAttribute(UpdatePanelRenderMode.Block)]
[CategoryAttribute("Layout")]
public UpdatePanelRenderMode RenderMode { get; set; }

VisualBasic

<DefaultValueAttribute(UpdatePanelRenderMode.Block)> _
<CategoryAttribute("Layout")> _
Public Property RenderMode As UpdatePanelRenderMode

ManagedCPlusPlus

[DefaultValueAttribute(UpdatePanelRenderMode::Block)]
[CategoryAttribute(L"Layout")]
public:
UpdatePanelRenderMode RenderMode {
	UpdatePanelRenderMode get ();
	void set (UpdatePanelRenderMode value);
}

JSharp

/** @property */
/** @property */

Value

Return Value

One of the UpdatePanelRenderMode values. The default is Block so that the content of the panel is enclosed in an HTML <div> element.

Remarks

If the RenderMode property is set to Inline, the content of an UpdatePanel control is rendered inside an HTML <span> element. If the RenderMode property is set to Block, it is rendered inside an HTML <div> element.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the RenderMode property declaratively. The UpdatePanel control named UpdatePanel1 is rendered in an HTML <span> element. If the RenderMode property were set to Block, the resulting paragraph would appear disjointed because of the way in which the HTML <div> element is rendered.
