Is is possible to extend, for instance, the HyperLink control using a partial class?
I’d like to define some custom properties on the control, without having to extend the class… like so…
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" CustomPropertyA="a" CustomPropertyB="b" />
And be able to use them on OnInit/OnPreload etc.
No. Partial types only allow you to specify the code for a type within multiple source files within the same project. That’s all. They’re a compile-time change only – they don’t affect the object model, or what you can do with types which already exist etc.
It sounds like you may just want to create a new class derived from
HyperLinkinstead.
