ImportCatalogPart Web Server Control Declarative Syntax

Imports a description file for a WebPart control (or other ASP.NET server control that is used as a WebPart control), so that the control can be added to a Web page with pre-assigned settings. The description file enables users to share settings for WebPart controls.

Remarks

The ImportCatalogPart control enables users to import a description file that describes settings on a WebPart or server control that a user wants to add to a WebPartZoneBase zone.
