Generating Tag Handlers
See Also
As you develop your tag library, you add code to the tag handler classes to implement
the features your custom actions require. You are also likely to add attributes
and scripting variables to your tags. As you define new attributes and scripting
variables, you must generate your tag handlers so that the corresponding class
members and interfaces are created.
You have two options when you generate tag handlers:
- Generate Tag Handlers. You can choose to generate only the handlers that
have changed since the
last time you generated handlers. This option provides a quick means of checking
your most recent work. The names of tags with handlers that have changed since
last generated are appended by a (G) in the Explorer.
- Generate All Tag Handlers. You can choose to generate all tag handlers,
whether or not they require
generation. This option provides you with a refreshed version of all handlers in your tag
library, but can be time consuming depending on the number of tags
your library contains.
To generate tag handlers:
- In the Explorer, right-click the tag library descriptor containing the
handlers to be generated.
- From the contextual menu, choose either Generate Tag Handlers or Generate
All Tag Handlers, depending on which generation option is appropriate. Generated
code appears in a package directory determined by the tag library's Tag Handler
Generation Root. See Customizing Tag Libraries
for details. If the value is blank, the Generation Root defaults to the root
of the filesystem containing the tag library.
