AttributeRenderers

AttributeRenderers - property that allows to change the display of individual object attributes by using user-defined functions. It is a dictionary with keys of type string (attribute name) and values of type AttributeRenderer (user-defined function that takes and returns object string). The returned string should contain html markup that will be displayed instead of just cast the attribute value to the string. AttributeRenderer - delegate declared in AjaxControls:

public delegate string AttributeRenderer(object attribute);

Example of initializing

//tempCat - an instance of the class Cat 
ObjectTile tile = new ObjectTile();
tile.View = Information.GetView("КошкаL", typeof(Кошка));
tile.DataObject = tempCat;

tile.AttributeRenderers = new Dictionary<string, AttributeRenderer>();
tile.AttributeRenderers.Add("Nickname", delegate (object val)
                                      {
