In ASP.NET, you would typically use the `IScriptControl` interface to wrap an Ajax client control into a custom server control. This interface defines the methods and properties that a server control must implement to support client-side script registration and rendering.
To use this interface, you would create a class that inherits from a server control, and implement the `IScriptControl` interface. This would allow you to register client-side script references, and to render the client-side code for your control.
Here's an example of how you might implement this interface:
using System.Web.UI;using System.Web.UI.WebControls;public class MyCustomControl : WebControl, IScriptControl{// Implement the IScriptControl interfacepublic IEnumerable<ScriptDescriptor> GetScriptDescriptors(){// Create a new script descriptor for your controlScriptControlDescriptor descriptor = new ScriptControlDescriptor("MyCustomControl", this.ClientID);// Add any properties you want to expose to client-side codedescriptor.AddProperty("SomeProperty", this.SomeProperty);// Return the descriptorreturn new ScriptDescriptor[] { descriptor };}public IEnumerable<ScriptReference> GetScriptReferences(){// Add any script references that your control needsreturn new ScriptReference[] {new ScriptReference("~/MyCustomControl.js")};}// Render the client-side code for your controlprotected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e){// Call the base implementation of OnPreRenderbase.OnPreRender(e);// Register the script resources for your controlScriptManager.GetCurrent(this.Page).RegisterScriptControl(this);// Render the client-side code for your controlthis.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptResource(typeof(MyCustomControl), "MyCustomControl.js");}}
In this example, we define a custom server control called `MyCustomControl` that implements the `IScriptControl` interface. We then implement the two methods required by this interface: `GetScriptDescriptors()` and `GetScriptReferences()`. These methods allow us to specify the script descriptors and script references that our control needs.
In the `OnPreRender()` method, we register the script control with the `ScriptManager` so that it can be added to the page's script resources. We also render the client-side code for the control by calling `RegisterClientScriptResource()`. This method takes the type of our control as the first parameter, and the name of the JavaScript file as the second parameter. This JavaScript file should contain the client-side code for our control.
