Examples

The following configuration file excerpt shows how to declaratively specify values for several properties of the TransformerInfo class.

<system.web>  
  <webParts>  
    <transformers>  
      <add name="RowToFieldTransformer"  
        type="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.RowToFieldTransformer" />  
      <add name="RowToFilterTransformer"  
        type="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.RowToFilterTransformer" />  
      <add name="RowToParametersTransformer"  
        type="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.RowToParametersTransformer" />  
    </transformers>  
  </webParts>   
</system.web>

The following code example shows how to use the TransformerInfo class. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the WebPartsSection class.

// Add a Transfomer Info Object to the collection using a constructor.
webPartsSection.Transformers.Add(new TransformerInfo(
    "RowToFilterTransformer",
    "MyCustomTransformers.RowToFilterTransformer"));

// Show all TransformerInfo objects in the collection.
for (int ti = 0;
    ti < webPartsSection.Personalization.Providers.Count; ti++)
{
    Console.WriteLine("  #{0} Name={1} Type={2}", ti,
        webPartsSection.Transformers[ti].Name,
        webPartsSection.Transformers[ti].Type);
}

// Remove a TransformerInfo object by name.
webPartsSection.Transformers.Remove("RowToFilterTransformer");

// Remove a TransformerInfo object by index.
webPartsSection.Transformers.RemoveAt(0);

// Clear all TransformerInfo objects from the collection.
webPartsSection.Transformers.Clear();

' Add a Transfomer Info Object to the collection using a constructor.
webPartsSection.Transformers.Add(New TransformerInfo( _
  "RowToFilterTransformer", _
  "MyCustomTransformers.RowToFilterTransformer"))

' Show all TransformerInfo objects in the collection.
Dim ti As Integer
For ti = 0 To webPartsSection.Personalization.Providers.Count - 1
  Console.WriteLine("  #{0} Name={1} Type={2}", ti, _
    webPartsSection.Transformers(ti).Name, _
    webPartsSection.Transformers(ti).Type)
Next

' Remove a TransformerInfo object by name.
webPartsSection.Transformers.Remove("RowToFilterTransformer")

' Remove a TransformerInfo object by index.
webPartsSection.Transformers.RemoveAt(0)

' Clear all TransformerInfo objects from the collection.
webPartsSection.Transformers.Clear()

Remarks

TransformerInfo objects specify custom classes that extend the WebPartTransformer class. These custom transformer classes act as bridges between Web Parts, translating data between Web Parts with incompatible connection points.

Constructors

TransformerInfo(String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the TransformerInfo class with the specified name and type reference.

Name	Gets or sets a friendly name for a type that extends the WebPartTransformer class.
Properties	Gets the collection of properties. (Inherited from ConfigurationElement)
Type	Gets or sets the type reference for a class that extends the WebPartTransformer class.

Methods
