Importing WebPart Using SPLimitedWebPartManager.ImportWebPart

WagsWVU | Edit | Show History

I had a hard time finding exactly what I needed to do in order to import a .dwp programmatically in MOSS 07. Below is some sample code:

SPLimitedWebPartManager mgr;

mgr = page.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.Shared);

XmlReader oxmlReader = new XmlTextReader(" THE PATH TO YOUR DWP FILE ");

System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart oWebPart = mgr.ImportWebPart(oxmlReader, out ErrorMessage);

mgr.AddWebPart(oWebPart, "WEBPART ZONE", ZONE INDEX);

Hope that Helps.
