Writes the opening tag of a markup element that contains attributes that implement the layout and character formatting of the specified style.
- style
A System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style that specifies the layout and formatting to begin applying to the block of markup.
- tag
An System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriterTag that specifies the opening tag of the markup element that will contain the style object specified in style.
Use the HtmlTextWriter.EnterStyle(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style, HtmlTextWriterTag) method to apply styles, such as background color or border width, to a block of markup.
The HtmlTextWriter.EnterStyle(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style, HtmlTextWriterTag) and erload:System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter.ExitStyle methods allow a device adapter or control to create markup that uses the character formatting of the specified style. Use the same value for style in the HtmlTextWriter.EnterStyle(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style, HtmlTextWriterTag) method that you use in the corresponding erload:System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter.ExitStyle method.
The erload:System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter.EnterStyle overload of the HtmlTextWriter.EnterStyle(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style, HtmlTextWriterTag) method renders the opening tag of the element specified by the tag parameter. The HtmlTextWriter.EnterStyle(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style, HtmlTextWriterTag) method then adds the necessary attributes and style attributes to the opening tag of the element to display the settings that are specified by the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style object. Use the HtmlTextWriter.EnterStyle(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Style) overload to render the opening tag of a <span> element.
