How to Dynamically Create a CatalogZone + PageCatalogPart

j_young_80 — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone can help me out here as this is driving me crazy - I've just started messing around with WebParts and am creating webParts dynamically via code (vb.net). This is all working well but i'm wanting to add a Catalog Zone and PageCatalogPart to keep track of all the removed webparts. I can add a CatalogZone without a problem, however there isn't a method exposed to Add a PagecatalogPart to a CatalogZone.

I successfully created a custom instance of a CatalogZone, and tried to add a PageCatalogPart in that way - I managed to get this to work also, however I was then forced to override the key functions GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions and GetWebPart which I don't really want to do.

To sum up my problem - I basically want to leave the WebParts Internal Catalog handling as it currently stands, since i'm not adding custom webParts that won't be picked up by the normal methods, but since i'm creating my WebPartManager dynamically to solve other issues I was having, I also need to be able create a CatalogZOne, and insert a PageCatalogPart dynamically also into that Zone. It seems the only way to do this is to create custom classes for both CatalogZone, and CatalogPart, which then forces me to override the standard functions provided which isn;t what I want.

Is there another way to do this, or can I somehow reference the existing functionality of GetWebPart and GetWebPartDescriptions in my custom class? I've included my two custom classes below, as well as the code to call the custom classes - with the methods that must be overridden. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Public catalogzone2 As CustomCatalogZone = New CustomCatalogZone

catalogZone.CreateCatalogPartstest()

ASP.NET 2.0 -- webparts -- catalog zones --

Jagadeesh Jupalli — Wed, 23 May 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Hi,

I’m having some doubts in designing and coding catalog zones.

I'm planning a web site very much similar to this "http://www.google.co.in/ig?hl=en" using webparts in ASP.NET 2.0

I want the catalog manager look some thing similar to igoogle --> "Make it your own" page. The catalog manager should not ask me to which webpartzone my controls need to be added. It should select some random webpartzone to add the control.

Also, How to make webparts work in FIREFOX?

I am new to new to .NET programming. If this is fundamental please be patient and let me know your feedback.

Can any one of you give me some online Sites/examples Developed in ASP.NET using Webparts and using catalog zones. I think some online live examples can help in understanding the scope of catalog zones.

Regards,
Jagadeesh

Look at the code in private void GetWebParts(), especially these lines:

// retrieve the web parts from the database:
List lMWP = GetMyWebParts();

In my case, "GetMyWebParts()" retrieves a list from a Web Service, and because I use Kerberos I can determine in the Web Service which data I need to return, based on the user that connects to the WS.

Drag/drop from CatalogZone

manaaron — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 04:00:00 GMT

I have created a CatalogPartChrome class and a CatalogZone to override the CreateCatalogPartChrome method and return my CatalogPartChrome class that will render the parts. I try two ways to override RenderCatalogPart.

1.Use AjaxControlToolkit, an error about DragPanelExtender control occured. The description is "DragPanelExtender Page cannot be null. Please ensure that this operation is being performed in the context of an ASP.NET request."

Are there anyone could help me to fix this error, or any other suggestions about this way? thanks:)

2. I want to create a WebPartZone to implement the functionality. My part cannot be added to the zone. Is this way feasible? I need helps from guys who have knowledge about this.

Any suggestions are greately appreciated. My source code as bellow:

public override void RenderCatalogPart(HtmlTextWriter writer,

CatalogPart catalogPart)

{

//base.RenderCatalogPart(writer, catalogPart);

WebPartDescriptionCollection partDescriptions =

catalogPart.GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions();

#if

true

Panel panelContain = new Panel();

panelContain.ID =

"panelContainer";

panelContain.Width =

Unit.Pixel(250);

panelContain.BorderWidth =

Unit.Pixel(2);

panelContain.BorderStyle =

BorderStyle.Solid;

panelContain.BorderColor = System.Drawing.

Color.Black;

panelContain.BackColor = System.Drawing.

Color.Silver;

Panel panelPart;

foreach (WebPartDescription description in partDescriptions)

{

panelPart =

new Panel();

panelPart.ID =

"part" + description.ID.ToString();

panelPart.Attributes.Add(

"style", "width:100%; background-color:#FFF;text-align:left; cursor:move; font-weight:bold;");

Label lblPart = new Label();

lblPart.Text =

"Drag Me--" + description.Title;

lblPart.BackColor = System.Drawing.

Color.PowderBlue;

lblPart.Font.Size =

FontUnit.Small;

lblPart.BorderWidth =

Unit.Pixel(1);

lblPart.BorderStyle =

BorderStyle.Solid;

lblPart.Width =

Unit.Percentage(90);

lblPart.Height =

Unit.Pixel(20);

panelPart.Controls.Add(lblPart);

AjaxControlToolkit.

DragPanelExtender dragPanelExtender = new AjaxControlToolkit.DragPanelExtender();

dragPanelExtender.Page = (System.Web.UI.

Page)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler;

dragPanelExtender.Enabled =

true;

dragPanelExtender.DragHandleID = panelPart.ID;

dragPanelExtender.TargetControlID = panelContain.ID;

panelPart.Controls.Add(dragPanelExtender);

panelContainer.Controls.Add(panelPart);

}

panelContainer.RenderControl(writer);

#endif

#if

false

WebPartZone webpartzone1 = new WebPartZone();

WebPartManager manager1 = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager((System.Web.UI.Page)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler);

//((System.Web.UI.Page)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler).Controls.Add(webpartzone1);

int i = 0;

foreach (WebPartDescription description in partDescriptions)

{

WebPartIcon part = new WebPartIcon();

part.Title = description.Title;

manager1.AddWebPart(part, webpartzone1, i);

//manager1.MoveWebPart(part, webpartzone1, i);

i++;

}

writer.Write("<div style='padding-bottom:20px;color:#5377A9;font-family:Arial, Sans-Serif; font-weight:bold;font-size:0.8em;'>Drag part<div>");

webpartzone1.RenderControl(writer);

#endif

}
