ProxyWebPartManager Web Server Control Declarative Syntax

Provides a way for developers to declare static connections in a content page when a WebPartManager control has been declared in the content page's associated master page.

<asp:ProxyWebPartManager

    ID="string"
    OnDataBinding="DataBinding event handler"
    OnDisposed="Disposed event handler"
    OnInit="Init event handler"
    OnLoad="Load event handler"

                    ConsumerID="string"
                    ID="string"
                    ProviderConnectionPointID="string"
                    ProviderID="string">
                            <asp:RowToFieldTransformer
                                FieldName="string"/>
                            <asp:RowToParametersTransformer
                                ConsumerFieldNames="string"
                                ProviderFieldNames="string"/>
                </asp:WebPartConnection>
        </StaticConnections>
</asp:ProxyWebPartManager>

Remarks

The ProxyWebPartManager control exists for the particular scenario of declaring static connections in content pages when a WebPartManager control has already been declared in a master page.

For more information on the ProxyWebPartManager and Web Parts controls, see ASP.NET Web Parts Controls.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ProxyWebPartManager class to declare static connections on content pages in an application that uses master pages.

For the definitions for the user control and the custom control that is defined with @ Register directives and the master page referenced with the MasterPageFile attribute in the @ Page directive, see the "Example" in the class overview for ProxyWebPartManager.

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPageVB.master" 
  Title="Connections Page" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="aspSample" 
    Namespace="Samples.AspNet.VB.Controls" %>

<script runat="server">

  Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As EventArgs)

    Dim lblText As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()

    If Not (Page.Master.FindControl("WebPartManager1") Is Nothing) Then
      Dim theMgr As WebPartManager = _
        CType(Page.Master.FindControl("WebPartManager1"), WebPartManager)
      lblText.Append("WebPartManager:  <br /><pre>" & _
        "  Master page file is " & Page.MasterPageFile & "<br />" & _
        "  ID is " & theMgr.ID & "<br />" & _
        "  Connection count is " & _
           theMgr.StaticConnections.Count.ToString() & "<br />" & _
        "  WebParts count is " & _
           theMgr.WebParts.Count.ToString() & "</pre><br />")
    End If

    If Not (proxymgr1 Is Nothing) Then
      lblText.Append("ProxyWebPartManager:  <br /><pre>" & _
        "  Content page file is " & Request.Path & "<br />" & _
        "  ID is " & proxymgr1.ID & "<br />" & _
        "  Connection count is " & _
           proxymgr1.StaticConnections.Count.ToString() & "</pre><br />")
    End If

    Literal1.Text = lblText.ToString()
