System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style.CopyFrom Method

Duplicates the style properties of the specified System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style into the instance of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style class that this method is called from.

Syntax

public virtual void CopyFrom (Style s)

Parameters

s
A System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style that represents the style to copy.

Remarks

Use the Style.CopyFrom(Style) method to duplicate the style properties of the specified System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style into the instance of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style class that this method is called from.

When a style is registered using System.Web.UI.IStyleSheet.RegisterStyle(Style, System.Web.UI.IUrlResolutionService), and then copied using Style.CopyFrom(Style), only the Style.CssClass property is copied to the destination, not all the individual properties. This could lead to unexpected results if you then copy or examine the properties of the destination style. For example, if you are using FontInfo.CopyFrom(FontInfo) to copy font information from the Style.Font property of a System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style that is registered, you will not get the individual settings of the font from the style.

Note:

All properties, including those that have been set in the current instance of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style class, will be replaced by the associated property in the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style specified by the s parameter.
