RowToFieldTransformer Class

Definition

Transforms data in a Web Parts connection from a provider that implements the IWebPartRow interface to a consumer expecting data through the IWebPartField interface.

public ref class RowToFieldTransformer sealed : System::Web::UI::WebControls::WebParts::WebPartTransformer, System::Web::UI::WebControls::WebParts::IWebPartField

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a RowToFieldTransformer object to connect a provider and consumer with incompatible connection points. The first section of the example shows a Web Parts control that serves as a provider. The provider class, named RowProviderWebPart, provides data through the IWebPartRow interface.

    {

        public RowProviderWebPart()
        {
            _table = new DataTable();

            DataColumn col = new DataColumn();
            col.DataType = typeof(string);
            col.ColumnName = "Name";
            _table.Columns.Add(col);

            col = new DataColumn();
            col.DataType = typeof(string);
            col.ColumnName = "Address";

            col.DataType = typeof(int);
            col.ColumnName = "ZIP Code";

            row["ZIP Code"] = 98000;

The code example includes a user control that enables you to change display modes on a Web Parts page. The source code for the user control comes from another topic. You can obtain the .ascx file for the user control from Walkthrough: Changing Display Modes on a Web Parts Page, and it must be placed in the same folder as the .aspx page.

Remarks

Transformers are used to translate data between two Web Parts controls with incompatible connection points. A RowToFieldTransformer object transforms data from a provider implementing the IWebPartRow interface to a consumer requiring data from the IWebPartField interface. The RowToFieldTransformer class allows controls with these incompatible connection points to be connected.

Constructors

RowToFieldTransformer()

Initializes a new instance of the RowToFieldTransformer class.

Properties

FieldName

Gets or sets the name of the value to transform.

Methods

CreateConfigurationControl()

Displays an ASP.NET control that configures a RowToFieldTransformer transformer in the ConnectionsZone zone.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
LoadConfigurationState(Object)

Loads the configuration state saved with the SaveConfigurationState() method.

(Inherited from WebPartTransformer)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
SaveConfigurationState()

Saves the configuration state set by the user in the ASP.NET configuration control.

(Inherited from WebPartTransformer)
ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
Transform(Object)

Provides an object for transforming the data.

Explicit Interface Implementations

IWebPartField.GetFieldValue(FieldCallback)

Returns the value of the field that is being used by the interface as the basis of a connection between two Web Parts controls.

IWebPartField.Schema

Gets the schema information for a data field that is used to share data between two Web Parts controls.
