Question

How can I set attribute to MVC2 user control defined in single file with content:

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>

I’m searching declarative solution. Something like this:

<%[DefaultProperty("Items")]%>
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>

Thanks.

Answer 1

You would need to create a new class that inherits from ViewUserControl

public class SpecialAttribute : Attribute { }

[Special]
public class MyUserControl : ViewUserControl
{

}

And then in your partial view you would use the Inherits attribute like this:

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="MvcApplication1.CustomViews.MyUserControl" %>
