  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:
System.Web.dll

Gets the String assigned to the PostBackValue property of the HotSpot object that was clicked.

public:
 property System::String ^ PostBackValue { System::String ^ get(); };
public string PostBackValue { get; }
member this.PostBackValue : string
Public ReadOnly Property PostBackValue As String

Property Value

String

The String assigned to the PostBackValue property of the HotSpot object that was clicked.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create an event handler for the Click event. The ImageMap control contains two RectangleHotSpot objects. The ImageMap.HotSpotMode property is set to HotSpotMode.PostBack, which causes the page to post back to the server each time a user clicks one of the RectangleHotSpot objects. The Click event is handled by the VoteMap_Clicked event handler. The handler examines the PostBackValue property, sent in the ImageMapEventArgs data to determine which RectangleHotSpot object is associated with the event. For this example to work correctly, you must supply your own image for the ImageUrl property and update the path to the image appropriately so that the application can locate it.
