Writing JavaScript from a Custom Control
- by coffeeaddict
I'm new to writing custom controls. I have MyCustomControl.cs and in my Render method I want to render out about 50 lines of JavaScript. What's the best way to do this, use the writer?
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
writer.write(@"<script type....rest of opening tag here");
writer.Write(@"
function decode(s)
{
return s.replace(/&/g, ""&"")
.replace(/"/g, '""')
.replace(/'/g, ""'"")
.replace(/</g, ""<"")
.replace(/>/g, "">"");
};"
);
I plan on having around 6 more writer.Write to write out some more sections here. Is that the best approach to actually perform the writing of JavaScript in this manor?
or should I use ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock? So what's the best practice or common way people are writing javascript from a custom control? (I'm not talking about a user control here!!, custom control/Class!)
I also want to keep any indentation for readability once it's spit out/rendered on the client when viewing source.
