The CodeTemplateInfo Object
The CodeTemplateInfo object (available through the CodeTemplateInfo property of the CodeTemplate object) can be used to retrieve a variety of information about the current template:
Property | Returns |
|---|---|
CodeBehind | Gets the full path to the code-behind file for the template (or an empty string if there is no code-behind file). |
ContentHashCode | Gets the hash code based on the template content and all template dependencies. |
DateCreated | Gets the date the template was created. |
DateModified | Gets the date the template was modified. |
Description | Gets the description. |
DirectoryName | Gets the name of the directory the template is located in. |
FileName | Gets the name of the template file. |
FullPath | Gets the full path to the template. |
Language | Gets the template language. |
TargetLanguage | Gets the target language. |
Here's a simple example of using the CodeTemplateInfo object:
<%@ CodeTemplate Language="VB" TargetLanguage="Text" Description="Demonstrates CodeTemplateInfo." %>
<% DumpInfo() %>
<script runat="template">
Public Sub DumpInfo()
Response.WriteLine("Template: {0}", Me.CodeTemplateInfo.FileName)
Response.WriteLine("Created: {0}", Me.CodeTemplateInfo.DateCreated)
Response.WriteLine("Description: {0}", Me.CodeTemplateInfo.Description)
Response.WriteLine("Location: {0}", Me.CodeTemplateInfo.FullPath)
Response.WriteLine("Language: {0}", Me.CodeTemplateInfo.Language)
Response.WriteLine("Target Language: {0}", Me.CodeTemplateInfo.TargetLanguage)
End Sub
</script>
The output of running this template will be similar to this:
Template: CodeTemplateInfo.cst Created: 1/1/1973 8:54:19 AM Description: Demonstrates CodeTemplateInfo. Location: C:\CodeTemplateInfo.cst Language: VB Target Language: Text
