Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the UploadHelpText property declaratively and programmatically. For the full code and instructions required to run the example, see the Example section of the ImportCatalogPart class overview.

In the following section of code, notice that the UploadHelpText property value is set declaratively for the control.

<asp:CatalogZone ID="CatalogZone1" runat="server">
  <ZoneTemplate>
    <asp:ImportCatalogPart ID="ImportCatalogPart1" 
      runat="server" 
      Title="My ImportCatalogPart" 
      OnPreRender="ImportCatalogPart1_PreRender"
      BrowseHelpText="Type a path or browse to find a control's 
        description file." 
      UploadButtonText="Upload Description File" 
      UploadHelpText="Click the button to upload the description 
        file."
      ImportedPartLabelText="My User Information WebPart" 
      PartImportErrorLabelText="An error occurred while trying 
        to import a description file."  />
  </ZoneTemplate>
</asp:CatalogZone>

<asp:CatalogZone ID="CatalogZone1" runat="server">
  <ZoneTemplate>
    <asp:ImportCatalogPart ID="ImportCatalogPart1" 
      runat="server" 
      Title="My ImportCatalogPart" 
      OnPreRender="ImportCatalogPart1_PreRender"
      BrowseHelpText="Type a path or browse to find a control's 
        description file." 
      UploadButtonText="Upload Description File" 
      UploadHelpText="Click the button to upload the description 
        file."
      ImportedPartLabelText="My User Information WebPart" 
      PartImportErrorLabelText="An error occurred while trying 
        to import a description file."  />
  </ZoneTemplate>
</asp:CatalogZone>

In this section of code, the UploadHelpText property value is assigned programmatically.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  ImportCatalogPart1.Title = "Import Server Controls";
  ImportCatalogPart1.BrowseHelpText = "Enter the path to a "
    + "description file.";
  ImportCatalogPart1.UploadButtonText = "Upload Description";
  ImportCatalogPart1.UploadHelpText = "Upload a description file.";
  ImportCatalogPart1.ImportedPartLabelText = "Imported Controls";
  ImportCatalogPart1.PartImportErrorLabelText = "An error occurred " 
    + "during the import process.";

}

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
  ByVal e As EventArgs)
    ImportCatalogPart1.Title = "Import Server Controls"
    ImportCatalogPart1.BrowseHelpText = "Enter the path to a " _
      & "description file."
    ImportCatalogPart1.UploadButtonText = "Upload Description"
    ImportCatalogPart1.UploadHelpText = "Upload a description file."
    ImportCatalogPart1.ImportedPartLabelText = "Imported Controls"
    ImportCatalogPart1.PartImportErrorLabelText = "An error occurred " _
      & "during the import process."
End Sub

When you load the page in a browser, you can use the Display Mode drop-down list control to select Catalog Mode and switch the page to catalog mode. With the page in catalog mode and the description file uploaded, note the various text strings displayed in the user interface (UI) for the ImportCatalogPart control. If you click the Upload Description File button, the text for several of the properties in the UI is changed, including the text for the UploadHelpText property.

Remarks

The UploadHelpText property provides a brief sentence or phrase of instructions for users, telling them to click a button to upload the description file. If you assign custom text to this property, or to the UploadButtonText property, the text should make clear that the user is uploading a description file. The text should not say or imply that the upload process is actually uploading the control itself.
