Issue with CSS Friendly Control Adapters LinkButtonAdapter

[Michael]

Hi

I am using the latest CSS Friendly Control Adapters LinkButtonAdapter which can be found here http://cssfriendly.codeplex.com/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx. I am ONLY using the LinkButtonAdapter.

I need it to put a <span>TEXT</span> in between the link text.

Now It has stuffed up the paging of the gridview. The non active page links work, but the active page, ie page 1, does not render. Is anyone familiar with overriding controls and can help me here?

To get away with it, this is what I have done. Anyone have a better idea?

if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(linkButton.Text))
                    {
                        base.RenderContents(writer);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        writer.WriteBeginTag("a");
                        writer.WriteAttribute("id", linkButton.ClientID);
                        writer.WriteAttribute("title", linkButton.ToolTip);
                        writer.WriteAttribute("class", className);
                        writer.WriteAttribute("href", Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackClientHyperlink(linkButton, ""));
                        writer.Write(HtmlTextWriter.TagRightChar);
                        writer.WriteBeginTag("span");
                        writer.WriteAttribute("class", "AspNet-LinkButton-Text");
                        writer.Write(HtmlTextWriter.TagRightChar);
                        writer.Write(linkButton.Text);
                        writer.WriteEndTag("span");
                        writer.WriteEndTag("a"); Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(linkButton.UniqueID);
                    }

Hello Michael,

You may  try overriding the RenderContents similar to the following:

public class LinkButtonAdapter : WebControlAdapter
    {
        public LinkButton CurrentControl
        {
            get
            {
                return ((LinkButton) Control);
            }
        }

        protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer)
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(CurrentControl.Text))
            {
                //LinkButton has a nested controls inside
                if (CurrentControl.HasControls() && CurrentControl.Controls[0] is LiteralControl)
                {
                    writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Span);
                    CurrentControl.Controls[0].RenderControl(writer);
                    writer.RenderEndTag();
                    CurrentControl.Controls.RemoveAt(0);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Span);
                writer.Write(CurrentControl.Text);
                CurrentControl.Text = string.Empty;
                writer.RenderEndTag();
            }

            base.RenderContents(writer);
        }
    }

Please give it a try and let us know about the results.
