Source for a Custom CatalogZone This hijacks the catalogpartchrome and uses a customcatalogpartchrome but has a few other niceties as well. /// <summary> /// Summary description for CustomCatalogZone /// </summary> public class CustomCatalogZone : CatalogZone { // Fields private ITemplate _zoneTemplate; protected override CatalogPartChrome ......
