Manipulating Web Parts in ASP.Net 2.0
(Page 1 of 4 )
In my last article, I introduced web parts to you, explained how to implement them in an ASP.Net application, and how to modify their default behavior and properties. This article will explain how you can allow end users to edit the web parts on their page(s), as well as interconnecting multiple web parts on one page.
Introduction
At the time I wrote my last article, it was still detailing a pre-release technology. But between then and now Microsoft announced that ASP.Net 2.0 is officially in full release, and available to the general public. So there’s no longer any time to waste, as understanding Web Parts (not to mention the rest of what the framework has to offer) has become vital to any web developer who understands the need to stay up-to-date with current technologies.
People are accustomed to computer usage being a very personal experience. They will do everything from customizing their wallpaper and screensaver, to having their browser open to a true Home Page, a portal that delivers only information that they care about and want to see. If you’re using the ASP.Net framework, no doubt you’re very excited about the Web Parts technology, originally conceived as a component of Microsoft SharePoint. Now Microsoft has extended Web Parts to any application running in ASP.Net 2.0, so you can deliver that customizable experience to users of any application you create!
