Hide WebPart Header and Border on BrowseDisplayMode

Vincent Maverick Durano — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:31:15 GMT

In order to hide those, we can set the BorderStyle and the PartChromeType attribute of the WebZone to none after we set the display mode of WebPartManager to browse just like below:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!Page.IsPostBack)

{

WebPartManager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.BrowseDisplayMode;

foreach (WebPartZone wz in WebPartManager1.Zones)

{

wz.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;

wz.PartChromeType = PartChromeType.None;

}

That’s simple!

Note: the workaround mentioned in the link above will only be applicable on IE browsers.

3. WebParts Drag and Drop not Working on FireFox using ASP.NET 2.0

This is a very known issues on ASPNET WebParts.. Basically WebParts doesn't support the Drag and Drop feature in FF browser.. The drag and drop feature will only work if you are using Visual studio 2008 /VWD 2008 with latest version of the WebPart Futures (AJAX Control Toolkit 3.5)..

You may refer below for more information:

Ajax Enabled WebParts and Fire-Fox Drag-and-Drop

If you are working with ASPNET 2.0 then I have written a sample snippet at the following link below on how we are going to move the WebParts in fire-fox without the Drag and Drop Feature by using Custom Verbs.

11. How to Hide WebParts Based on Users?

You can set roles to users so that you can easily hide the WebParts using the AutorizationFilter attribute as demonstrated below:

Show/Hide WebParts based on Roles

12. How to Hide WebParts?

If you wan’t to hide it manually then we can use the Hidden property to Hide WebParts in the Zone. See below example:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        WebPartZone1.WebParts["WebPartID"].Hidden = true;


You may also close the WebParts instead using the CloseWebPart method of WPM and add it back again via PageCatalogPart.

13. How to Add Custom Verbs to WebParts?

You can add your own verbs by extending the WebPartZone base class and override the OncreateVerb method for you to add your own verbs for all the WebParts. See the example in the link below for more info.

Creating Custom WebPartZones with Custom verbs (Move right/ Move Left)

If you wan’t to add a custom verb to a particular webpart then you can override the WebPartVerbCollection class as demonstrated in the link below:

Add Verbs to the WebPart's menu.

14. How to work WebParts with Master Page?

Basically, WebParts Personalization are stored on a page by page basis. Web Parts personalization settings for the pages that use the Master Page are stored separately from one another, preventing you from applying a single set of Web Parts to every page on the site.

Here's an interesting article below that demonstrates on how to: Sharing WebParts across Multiple Pages

15. How to Create WeParts with Multiple Pages?

Dynamic Tabbed Web Part Pages

16. How to Create WebPart like IGOOGLE?

If you really want to have a great overview of how to create such a web 2.0 ajax enabled portal I can highly recommend Omar Al Zabir's book Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5. He's the founder of pageflakes.com and the open source portal called dropthings.

ASPNET WebPart FAQ: Accessing Controls from UserControls in ASPX page

Vincent Maverick Durano — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:17:20 GMT

I decided to write this example because I always encounter this type of questions at the asp.net WebParts and Personalization forums.

Many of us have used UserControls as WebParts so that we can incorporate different server controls in a single WebPart element and there are times we need to retrieve or pass a value to a Control that‘s inside a UserControl.

So in this example, I will show different ways on how to get or pass values to a control that is residing within a UserControl.

Suppose that we have this UserControl declaration below:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="WebUserControl1.ascx.cs" Inherits="WebUserControl1" %>

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"/>

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">

</asp:DropDownList>

From above, you can see a TextBox and a DropDownList control in the UserControl.

Now, lets try to add that UserControl in the WebPartZone by dropping it to the WebPartZone. See the ASPX markup below:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default" %>

<%@ Register src="WebUserControl1.ascx" tagname="WebUserControl1" tagprefix="uc1" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>WebParts and UserControls Demo</title>

</head>

<body>

<asp:WebPartManager ID="WebPartManager1" runat="server">

</asp:WebPartManager>

<asp:WebPartZone ID="WebPartZone1" runat="server">

<uc1:WebUserControl1 ID="WebUserControl1" runat="server" />

</ZoneTemplate>

</asp:WebPartZone>

<asp:WebPartZone ID="WebPartZone2" runat="server">

</asp:WebPartZone>

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" onclick="Button1_Click" Text="Pass Data" />

<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Get Data"

onclick="Button2_Click" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

Now let’s pass a value to a TextBox and DropDownList controls that is residing from a UserControl when the Button is clicked.

Option 1: Using the FindControl method

The first option is using a FindControl method. As you may know, FindControl method is the general way for accessing Controls in the page.

Here’s the code block below:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (WebPartManager1.WebParts.Count > 0)

{

//Extract the WebPart element (UserControl)

WebPart wp = (WebPart)WebPartManager1.WebParts["WebUserControl1"];

//Extract the TextBox Control that is residing from a WebPart

TextBox tb = (TextBox)wp.Controls[0].FindControl("TextBox1");

if (tb != null)

{

tb.Text = "Hello ASPNET!";

}

//Extract the TextBox Control that is residing from a WebPart

DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)wp.Controls[0].FindControl("DropDownList1");

if (ddl != null)

{

ddl.Items.Add("Item 1");

ddl.Items.Add("Item 2");

ddl.Items.Add("Item 3");

}

As you can see, the code above was pretty straight forward. You can use the above approach if you wan’t to manipulate the controls that you are accessing, like for instance in the above example we are accessing the DropDownList control and then add some items to it.

Running the code above will show something like this below:

Now here’s the output below after pressing the button “Pass Data”

Here’s the code block below for getting the data from the UserControl:

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (WebPartManager1.WebParts.Count > 0)

{

//Extract the WebPart element (UserControl)

WebPart wp = (WebPart)WebPartManager1.WebParts["WebUserControl1"];

//Extract the TextBox Control that is residing from a WebPart

TextBox tb = (TextBox)wp.Controls[0].FindControl("TextBox1");

if (tb != null)

{

Response.Write(tb.Text + "<BR/>");

}

//Extract the TextBox Control that is residing from a WebPart

DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)wp.Controls[0].FindControl("DropDownList1");

if (ddl != null)

{

Response.Write(ddl.SelectedItem.Text);

}

The output would look something like this after pressing the “Get Data” button.

Option 2: Using Properties

This option is the easiest and efficient way to pass and retrieve values from a Control that is residing from a UserControl. All you need here is to expose a public property to a UserControl .ASCX page.

Here’s an example:

public partial class WebUserControl1 : System.Web.UI.UserControl

{

public string TextValue

{

get { return TextBox1.Text; }

set { TextBox1.Text = value; }

}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

Now at Button Click event in the ASPX page, you can pass a value to the TextBox control this way:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

WebUserControl1.TextValue = "Hello There";

}

Here’s the page output below after pressing the “Pass Data” button.

Here’s the code for getting the value from the TextBox:

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string str = WebUserControl1.TextValue;

Response.Write(str);

}

As you can see, the code above was pretty simple!

Conclusion:

Use Option 1, if you are going to manipulate the control’s property that you are accessing. If you are just passing and retrieving controls value from the UserControl then use Option 2 instead.

That’s it! I hope you will find this example useful!

Comparison Between Standard WebParts, ASPNET Futures WebParts and Custom WebParts in ASPNET 2.0

Vincent Maverick Durano — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:27:51 GMT

I decided to post this because I wan't to share this information that I have gathered during my investation about ASPNET WebParts last 2007. Maybe this will be useful for those who are using ASPNET WebParts in ASPNET 2.0.

Basically this information shows the difference between the Standard WebParts that shipped in ASP.NET 2.0, ASPNET Futures and My Custom WebPart with Custom Verbs.

Main OBJECTIVES:

* Allows cross browser drag and drop capability (can be moved between WebZones)

* Ajax enabled

Findings and Comparison

	Standard Webparts	ASPNET Futures Webparts	Custom Webparts with added Custom Verbs	Main Objectives for both browsers
Drag and drop capability in different browsers	NO, IE browser only	YES	NO, IE browser only But Can move webparts in firefox without drag and drop functionality	YES
Drag and drop capability in inside updatepanel control	YES but in IE browser only	NO	YES but in IE browser only But Can move webparts without drag and drop functionality	YES
Display of Drop down Verb Menu in different BROWSERS	NO, IE browser only	NO, IE browser only	YES, But it does not render properly in Firefox	YE

STANDARD WEBPARTS

Standard webparts are those normal webparts in aspnet 2.0. It is design to create personalized and customized page. It also used to create portal frameworks as well, but standard webparts has the following limitations below:

* Standard webparts drag and drop functionality does not work properly in Firefox browser with or without updatepanel. Full functionality of standard webparts will work properly in IE browser only.
* Webparts DropDown Verb Menu will not be displayed in Firefox browser.

Our aim is that our page should be in AJAX enabled,but in order to achieved this, we should use ASPNET AJA UpdatePanel Control in order to eliminate those flickers occurred when the page refreshes. The main problem is that, if we are going to place those webparts inside an updatepanel control, the drag and drop functionality won’t work at all in Firefox browser.

Figure 1. Standard Webparts with Update Panel in IE browser

-In IE browser, you can drag and drop webparts inside the updatepanel control without flicker.

Figure 2 - Standard Webparts with Updatepanel in Firefox browser

-In Firefox browser, you cannot drag and drop webparts with or without updatepanel. If you try to drag the webparts in a certain zone, it will just highlighted the text as what you have seen in the figure above.

ASPNET FUTURES WEBPARTS

Aspnet futures webparts are designed so that the drag and drop functionalities in Firefox browser will work properly. The main differences between this and the standard webparts are:

* Drag and drop capability are supported in both IE and Firefox browser, where as in Standard Webparts drag and drop capibilty is only supported in IE browser.

*If I placed aspnet futures webparts inside an updatepanel control ,the drag and drop functionality won’t work properly in both IE and firefox browser.

Figure 3 - Aspnet Futures Webparts without Update panel control

-As what you can see, we can drag and drop webparts in a certain WebZone, but when you do that, it will produce a flicker to the whole page because AFW does not support AJAX Update panel control.

Figure 4 - Aspnet Futures without updatepanel in Firefox browser

-This time you can drag and drop webparts in firefox but without updatpanel, because If we placed webparts inside updatepanel then the drag and drop functionality will not work.

-As well as in IE browser when you drag and drop webparts between WebZone, the page will produce flicker because it does not support the ASPNET AJAX UpdatePanel.

This means that the ASPNET Futures are still not Stable with ASPNET 2.0 version.

According to ASPNET Team that “The current version of the AJAX Futures has a bug when using WebParts inside an UpdatePanel. We are investigating and this will be fixed in a later release of the AJAX Futures”

Note: To get things working in all browsers including the cross browser drag-and-drop feature then you would need to use Visual studio 2008 / VWD 2008 with latest version of the Microsoft ASPNET Futures (AJAX Control Toolkit 3.5).. see this post for more info: Ajax Enabled WebParts and FireFox Drag and Drop

CUST CUSTOM WEBPARTS WITH ADDED CUSTOM VERBS

As expected, Standard Webparts can be extended, we can even override the classes that molds webparts. Since we can extend standard webparts, I have created a custom WebpartZone with Added verbs so that we can move webparts in Firefox browser without drag and drop functionality. However Firebox browser does not recognize Webpart Verb Menu. Webpart Verb Menu is where the option resides, like the minimize, close and so on. See figure below for a better look:

For details please see:

Enhanced Custom WebPartZone with Custom Move Option Verbs in ASP.NET 2.0

CUSTOM WEBPART IN IE BROWSER

Figure 7-Custom Webparts in IE

Those options will allow you to move webparts from left, right, up or down instead of drag and drop.We can also use the drag and drop functionality of webparts if you like, means that we can do both functionalities in IE browser.

CUSTOM WEBPART IN FIREFOX BROWSER

Figure 8 - Custom Webparts in Firefox

As what you have seen, firefox browser does not recognize those Menu Verbs that’s why the verbs are rendered in that horizonal layout. But you can still move webparts in different WebZones without the drag and drop functionality
Does not support drag and drop functionalty.

Enhanced Custom WebPartZone with Custom Move Option Verbs in ASP.NET 2.0

Vincent Maverick Durano — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:20:38 GMT

This example shows the enhanced version of my previous example about Creating Custom WebPartZones with Custom verbs (Move right/ Move Left).

One of the most common issues with ASPNET WebPart in ASPNET 2.0 is the drag-and-drop functionality in firefox. As you may know the drag-and-drop feature of WebParts will not work in firefox once it is placed inside an UpdatePanel control. So in this article, I will show how are we going to move certain WebParts in different zones without the drag and drop functionality of the standard webpart. In order to achieve this, we need to create a custom WebPartZone with custom verb move options by extending the WebPartZone base class.

What is added here are the MoveUp and MoveDown verbs with some validation for MoveRight and MoveLeft verbs.

To start, create a class under App_Code folder and write the following code blocks below for the Custom WebPartZone implementation:

Please note that in the above implementation, it requires you to have three WebZones in the page. If you have more than 3 WebZones, you can tweak the code above based on your requirements.

Also be sure to create a folder for storing your verbs images and set the path of the image in the _copyWebPartImageUrl for you to see those move option verbs image in the WebParts menu.

Important:

MoveToRight(), DisableMoveRight(), MoveToLeft(), DisableMoveLeft, MoveToDown() and MoveToUp() are the names of the methods where the custom WebPart verbs are created including its properties like imageUrl, Title, Description and so on.
OnMoveRight(),OnMoveLeft(), OnMoveDown and OnMoveUp() are the Event handlers for that custom verbs being created. It is where the moving of webparts is manipulated.
OnCreateVerb() is an overridden method which allows you to add your own custom verbs to the list of the standard WebPart Verbs collection.

Using the Custom WebZone

1. Add a new WebForm and switch to source view (aspx side)
2. Add and Register the namespace of the class which contains the custom control that was created above. See below:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="MyWebZone" 
             namespace="Samples.CustomWebZone.CS.Controls" %>

Note that you can changed the TagPrefix value to whatever you like.

3. Add a standard WebPartManager at the very top of the page.
4. Add three (3) standard WebPartZone in the page.
5. Replace the tagprefix and the name of the standard asp WebPartZone to the tagprefix and name of the custom Webpartzone created earlier like below:

REPLACE <asp:WebPartZone> to <MyWebZone:CustomZone>

6. Be sure to name the ID of the Custom WebZone the same as the class name of the Custom WebZone with a numeric character like CustomZone1, CustomZone2 and CustomZone3.

See the whole ASPX markup below.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

ASP.NET WebPart with Skins

Vincent Maverick Durano — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:51:36 GMT

This example demonstrates on how to apply Skins to ASP.NET WebParts. Before we begin let us first understand the concept of the skins in ASP.NET.

What is a Skin file?

A Skin enables us to modify any of the properties applied to the server controls in our ASP.NET page. Skins can work in conjunction with CSS files or images. To create a Theme we can use a single skin file in the Theme Folder. The skin file extension should be always .skin.

For more information about ASPNET Themes and Skins then have a look at the following link below:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wcyt4fxb.aspx

STEP 1: Designing the WebPart page.

Note that for simplicity of this demo, I just set up the page markup like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">
    <title>WebParts with Skins</title>
    <style type="text/css">
        .style1
        {
            width: 100%;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:WebPartManager ID="WebPartManager1" runat="server"/>
        <table class="style1">
            <tr>
                <td colspan="3">
                    <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="true" 
                        AutoPostBack="True" onselectedindexchanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged">
                    <asp:ListItem Value="-1" >Select Skin</asp:ListItem>
                    <asp:ListItem>Red</asp:ListItem>
                    <asp:ListItem>Blue</asp:ListItem>
                    <asp:ListItem>Green</asp:ListItem>
                    </asp:DropDownList>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td valign="top">
                    <asp:WebPartZone ID="WebPartZone1" runat="server" CssClass="style1">
                        <ZoneTemplate>
                            <asp:Calendar ID="Calendar1" runat="server"></asp:Calendar>
                        </ZoneTemplate>
                    </asp:WebPartZone>
                </td>
                <td valign="top">
                    <asp:WebPartZone ID="WebPartZone2" runat="server" CssClass="style1">
                        <ZoneTemplate>
                            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                        </ZoneTemplate>
                    </asp:WebPartZone>
                </td>
                <td valign="top">
                    <asp:WebPartZone ID="WebPartZone3" runat="server" CssClass="style1">
                        <ZoneTemplate>
                            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                        </ZoneTemplate>
                    </asp:WebPartZone>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

STEP 2: Creating the Skin file.

The following are the steps on how to create a skin file in Visual studio:

First we need to check if the ASP.NET Theme folder exists in your project. If the Theme folder is not in your project then you can add this by right clicking on the project name à Add ASP.NET folder à then select Theme. You will notice that the App_Themes folder is automatically added to your project.

Now let’s add a new skin file under the App_Themes folder, to do this then just right click on the App_Themes folder à Select Add new item à Select Skin file. In this demo I named the skin file to WZSkin.

STEP 3: Setting the look and feel of the WebPartZones in the Skin file.

In .skin file we can create multiple definitions in respect of same server control. To create multiple definitions of a single element we can use the SkinID attribute to differentiate among the definitions. The value of SkinID can be anything.

For simplicity of this demo, I set up the look and feel of the WebPartZones like this at the WZSkin file:

<asp:WebPartZone  runat="server" SkinID = "Blue">
    <PartTitleStyle BackColor="Blue" />
    <PartChromeStyle BorderColor="Blue" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" />
</asp:WebPartZone>

<asp:WebPartZone  runat="server" SkinID = "Red">
    <PartTitleStyle BackColor="Red" />
    <PartChromeStyle BorderColor="Red" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" />
</asp:WebPartZone>

<asp:WebPartZone  runat="server" SkinID = "Green">
    <PartTitleStyle BackColor="Green" />
    <PartChromeStyle BorderColor="Green" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" />
</asp:WebPartZone>

Note that we set each WebZone with different SkinID to determine which skin set will be used based from the DropDownList value.

Also note that you can embed CSS to your Skin file.

Now, since we are done setting up our Skin file then we can proceed to the next step.

STEP 4: Setting the SkinID programmatically.

In this demo, I simply use Session variable to hold the current value that was selected in the DropDownlist. If you wan’t to retain the current SkinID that was selected when you visit the page next time then you can store the SkinID value to the database instead of storing it in Session.

Here are the code blocks below for setting the SkinID.

   private void SetWebZoneSkins(string wzSkinSet){
        for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++){
            WebPartZone wz = (WebPartZone)this.Page.FindControl("WebPartZone" + i);
            if (wz != null)
            { wz.SkinID = wzSkinSet; }
        }
    }

    protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e){
        if (Session["Skin"] != null){
            //Call the method for setting the SkinID of the WebZone
            SetWebZoneSkins(Session["Skin"].ToString());
            //Retain the Selected item of the DDL on postbacks
            DropDownList1.ClearSelection();
            DropDownList1.Items.FindByText(Session["Skin"].ToString()).Selected = true;
        }
        else{ 
            //set default skin to WebZone
        }
    }
    protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e){
        //Store the Selected Text in Session so that we can reference the values later
        Session["Skin"] = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text;
        //We need to call this line below so that we can set the Skins based on the DDL value
        Server.Transfer("Some{ag.aspx");
    }

Note: Themes and Skins should be set at PreInit event because it is where all the controls are being initialized.

STEP 5: Setting the Theme name in the page.

In order to work this out then we need to set the attribute Theme with its value like this below in the page declaration.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" 
                       CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" 
                       Inherits="Default" Theme="Theme1"  %>

Compile and run your application.

That’s it! Enjoy!

AJAX Enabled WebParts and FireFox Drag and Drop

Vincent Maverick Durano — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:31:01 GMT

WebParts Cross- browser drag and drop is a very common issues on ASPNET WebPart Framework.. Basically WebParts doesn't support the Drag and Drop feature in Firefox browsers and this known to be a BUG for ASPNET Webpart Framework.. To get things working in all browsers including the cross browser drag-and-drop feature then you would need to use Visual studio 2008 / VWD 2008 with latest version of the Microsoft ASPNET Futures (AJAX Control Toolkit 3.5)..

For more detail information then i would suggest you to read the following article below

Creating Custom WebPartZones with Custom verbs (Move right/ Move Left)

Creating Custom WebPartZones with Custom verbs (Move right/ Move Left)

By: Vincent Maverick Durano

Introduction:

This article shows on how we are going to move a webpart from left or right directions in different zones without the drag and drop functionality of the standard webpart. In order to achieve this, we need to create a custom webpartzone with custom verb option “move right/move left” button. See Figure 1.

Figure 1

The first thing to do is we need to create those custom verbs options by extending the webpartzone base class and add those custom verbs within the zone. Below are the steps on how to extend the webpartzone class.

Creating the CustomZone.cs Class

Below are the snippets with a description in each line on how to extend and overrides verbs. I placed it in a separate class and wrap it in a namespace so that we can use it easily in the page by just registering the namespace. But before that lets take a look at the details first on how does it goes.

using System.Data;

using System.Configuration;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Security;

using System.Security.Permissions;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

/// Custom WebPartZone with custom verbs

///

namespace Samples.CustomWebpartZone.CS.Controls

{

[AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]

[AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]

//Inherits the webpartzone class

public class CustomZoneWithNewVerb : WebPartZone

{

//Overrides the OnCreateVerbs Methods

protected override void OnCreateVerbs(WebPartVerbsEventArgs e)

{

//NOTE:MoveToLeft and MoveToRight are the name of methods where the custom verbs are created. While the parameter RightVerb and LeftVerb are the event handlers for those verbs.

List<WebPartVerb> addNewVerbs = new List<WebPartVerb>();

addNewVerbs.Add(new MoveToRight(RightVerb));

addNewVerbs.Add(new MoveToLeft(LeftVerb));

e.Verbs = new WebPartVerbCollection(e.Verbs, addNewVerbs);

base.OnCreateVerbs(e);

}

void RightVerb(object sender, WebPartEventArgs e)

{

//gets the total number of webparts that is present in a particular zone

int wpcount = (int)e.WebPart.Zone.WebParts.Count;

//get the webpart index within the zone

int wpindex = (int)e.WebPart.ZoneIndex;

//gets the zone name

string zname = (string)e.WebPart.Zone.ID;

string del = "b";

//splits the id name “CustomZoneWithNewVerb1” to get the last numeric value

string[] temp = zname.Split(del.ToCharArray());

// get the numeric value of a zone “1”

int zoneid = int.Parse(temp[1].ToString());

//gets the available webpartmanager on the page

WebPartManager wpm1 = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(Page);

if (zid < 3) //assume that you have 3 zones in your page

{

//get the current control being move within the zone

GenericWebPart part = (GenericWebPart)wpm1.Zones[zoneid - 1].WebParts[wpindex];

//move the webpart to another or within a zone wpm1.MoveWebPart(part, wpm1.Zones[zoneid], wpindex);

}

void LeftVerb(object sender, WebPartEventArgs e)

{

int wpcount = (int)e.WebPart.Zone.WebParts.Count;

int wpindex = (int)e.WebPart.ZoneIndex;

string zname = (string)e.WebPart.Zone.ID;

string del = "b";

string[] temp = zname.Split(del.ToCharArray());

int zoneid = int.Parse(temp[1].ToString());

WebPartManager wpm1 = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(Page);

if (zid != 1)

{

GenericWebPart part = (GenericWebPart)wpm1.Zones[zid - 1].WebParts[wpindex];

wpm1.MoveWebPart(part, wpm1.Zones[zid-2], wpindex);

}

[AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]

[AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]

//A fucntion where custom Move Right verbs are created

//Inherits WebpartVerb class to create custom verbs

internal class MoveToRight : WebPartVerb

{

private const String _WebPartImageUrl = "~/image/right.gif";

internal MoveToRight(WebPartEventHandler serverClickHandler) :

base("GotoRight", serverClickHandler)

{ }

public override string Text

{

get { return "Move Right"; }

set { ;}

}

public override string Description

{

get

{

return "Allows you to move webparts to the right zone ";

}

set { ; }

}

public override bool Enabled

{

get

{

return base.Enabled;

}

set { base.Enabled = value; }

}

public override string ImageUrl

{

get

{

return _WebPartImageUrl;

}

set { ; }

}

//A fucntion where custom Move Left verbs are created

//Inherits WebpartVerb class to create custom verbs

internal class MoveToLeft : WebPartVerb

{

private const String _WebPartImageUrl = "~/image/left.gif";

internal MoveToLeft(WebPartEventHandler serverClickHandler):

base("GotoLeft", serverClickHandler)

{ }

public override string Text

{

get { return "Move Left"; }

set { ;}

}

public override string Description

{

get

{

return "Allows you to move webparts to the left zone ";

}

set { ; }

}

public override bool Enabled

{

get { return base.Enabled; }

set { base.Enabled = value; }

}

public override string ImageUrl

{

get { return _WebPartImageUrl; }

set { ; }

}

{

get { return base.Enabled; }

set { base.Enabled = value; }

}

public override string ImageUrl

{

get { return _copyWebPartImageUrl; }

set { ; }

}

Important:

MoveToRight() and MoveToLeft() are names of the methods where the custom verbs are created including its properties like imageUrl, Title, Description and so on.

RightVerb() and LeftVerb() are the Event handlers for that custom verbs being created. It is where the moving of webparts is manipulated.

After creating the class, we can now use those custom webpartzone with added new verbs in our page. To do that, just take a look at the steps below:

Add new WebForm and switch to source mode (aspx side)
Add and Register the Class Namespace below:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="mywebparts" namespace="Samples.CustomWebpartZone.CS.Controls" %>

Add a standard WebPartManager in the page.
Add three (3) standard WebPartZone in the page.
Replace the tagprefix and name of the standard asp WebPartZone to the tagprefix and name of the custom Webpartzone created earlier like below:

<mywebparts:CustomZoneWithNewVerb id="CustomZoneWithNewVerb1"

HeaderText="1" runat="server">

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server">A TextBox</asp:TextBox>

</ZoneTemplate>

</mywebparts:CustomZoneWithNewVerb>

<mywebparts:CustomZoneWithNewVerb id="CustomZoneWithNewVerb2"

HeaderText="1" runat="server">

<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/image/default.jpg" />

</ZoneTemplate>

</mywebparts:CustomZoneWithNewVerb>

<mywebparts:CustomZoneWithNewVerb id="CustomZoneWithNewVerb3"

HeaderText="1" runat="server">

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/dashboard.aspx">My Favorites</asp:HyperLink> </ZoneTemplate>

</mywebparts:CustomZoneWithNewVerb>

6. Compile the application and run

7. The output should look the same as shown in Figure 1

The behavior of the custom Webpartzone are still the same as what standard webpartzone behaves since the custom webpartzone inherits the standard webpart zone. The only difference is that I added the Custom “Move Right” and “Move Left” Verb in the custom WebpartZone.
