Examples

The following code example demonstrates how you can access a member of a CatalogPartCollection object using its index. For the full code required to run the example, see the Example section of the CatalogPartCollection class overview topic.

The code in the Button1_Click method creates a new CatalogPartCollection object named myParts. Note that the method uses the Item[] indexer to retrieve information from the first member of the collection.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  ArrayList list = new ArrayList(2);
  list.Add(PageCatalogPart1);
  list.Add(DeclarativeCatalogPart1);
  // Pass an ICollection object to the constructor.
  CatalogPartCollection myParts = new CatalogPartCollection(list);
  foreach (CatalogPart catalog in myParts)
  {
    catalog.Description = "My " + catalog.DisplayTitle;
  }

  // Use the IndexOf property to locate a CatalogPart control.
  int PageCatalogPartIndex = myParts.IndexOf(PageCatalogPart1);
  myParts[PageCatalogPartIndex].ChromeType = PartChromeType.TitleOnly;

  // Use the Contains method to see if a CatalogPart control exists.
  if (myParts.Contains(PageCatalogPart1))
  {
    WebPart closedWebPart = null;
    WebPartDescriptionCollection descriptions = PageCatalogPart1.GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions();
    if (descriptions.Count > 0)
    {
      closedWebPart = PageCatalogPart1.GetWebPart(descriptions[0]);
      closedWebPart.AllowClose = false;
    }
  }
  
  // Use indexers to display the details of the CatalogPart controls.
  Label1.Text = String.Empty;
  Label1.Text =
    "<h3>PageCatalogPart Details</h3>" +
    "ID: " + myParts[0].ID + "<br />" +
    "Count: " + myParts[0].GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions().Count;
  Label1.Text += 
    "<h3>DeclarativeCatalogPart Details</h3>" +
    "ID: " + myParts["DeclarativeCatalogPart1"].ID + "<br />" +
    "Count: " + myParts["DeclarativeCatalogPart1"].GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions().Count;
}

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) 
    Dim list As New ArrayList(2)
    list.Add(PageCatalogPart1)
    list.Add(DeclarativeCatalogPart1)
    ' Pass an ICollection object to the constructor.
    Dim myParts As New CatalogPartCollection(list)
    Dim catalog As CatalogPart
    For Each catalog In  myParts
        catalog.Description = "My " + catalog.DisplayTitle
    Next catalog
    
    ' Use the IndexOf property to locate a CatalogPart control.
    Dim PageCatalogPartIndex As Integer = _
      myParts.IndexOf(PageCatalogPart1)
    myParts(PageCatalogPartIndex).ChromeType = PartChromeType.TitleOnly
    
    ' Use the Contains method to see if a CatalogPart control exists.
    If myParts.Contains(PageCatalogPart1) Then
        Dim closedWebPart As WebPart = Nothing
        Dim descriptions As WebPartDescriptionCollection = _
          PageCatalogPart1.GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions()
        If descriptions.Count > 0 Then
            closedWebPart = PageCatalogPart1.GetWebPart(descriptions(0))
            closedWebPart.AllowClose = False
        End If
    End If
    
    ' Use indexers to display the details of the CatalogPart controls.
    Label1.Text = String.Empty
    Label1.Text = _
      "<h3>PageCatalogPart Details</h3>" & _
      "ID: " & myParts(0).ID + "<br />" & _
      "Count: " & myParts(0).GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions().Count
    Label1.Text += _
      "<h3>DeclarativeCatalogPart Details</h3>" & _
      "ID: " & myParts("DeclarativeCatalogPart1").ID & "<br />" & _
      "Count: " & myParts("DeclarativeCatalogPart1") _
        .GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions().Count

End Sub

When you load the page in a browser, you can switch the page into catalog mode by selecting Catalog in the Display Mode drop-down list control. Clicking the Display CatalogPart Properties button accesses the CatalogPartCollection object and displays certain properties of the contained CatalogPart controls. The count of available server controls within the PageCatalogPart control is obtained by using the Item[] indexer in the Button1_Click method.

Remarks

The Item[] indexer allows you to access the underlying CatalogPart controls in a CatalogPartCollection object by index, and change their property values or call methods.

Item[String]

Returns a member of the collection based on a unique string identifier.

public:
 property System::Web::UI::WebControls::WebParts::CatalogPart ^ default[System::String ^] { System::Web::UI::WebControls::WebParts::CatalogPart ^ get(System::String ^ id); };
public System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.CatalogPart this[string id] { get; }
member this.Item(string) : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.CatalogPart
Default Public ReadOnly Property Item(id As String) As CatalogPart

Parameters

id
String

The unique identifier for a particular CatalogPart in a collection.

Property Value

CatalogPart

The first CatalogPart in the collection whose ID equals the value of id.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how you can access a member of a CatalogPartCollection object using its string ID value. For the full code required to run the example, see the Example section of the CatalogPartCollection class overview topic.

The code in the Button1_Click method creates a new CatalogPartCollection object named myParts. The method uses the Item[] indexer to retrieve information about the DeclarativeCatalogPart control, which is the second member of the collection.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  ArrayList list = new ArrayList(2);
  list.Add(PageCatalogPart1);
  list.Add(DeclarativeCatalogPart1);
  // Pass an ICollection object to the constructor.
  CatalogPartCollection myParts = new CatalogPartCollection(list);
  foreach (CatalogPart catalog in myParts)
  {
    catalog.Description = "My " + catalog.DisplayTitle;
  }

  // Use the IndexOf property to locate a CatalogPart control.
  int PageCatalogPartIndex = myParts.IndexOf(PageCatalogPart1);
  myParts[PageCatalogPartIndex].ChromeType = PartChromeType.TitleOnly;

  // Use the Contains method to see if a CatalogPart control exists.
  if (myParts.Contains(PageCatalogPart1))
  {
    WebPart closedWebPart = null;
    WebPartDescriptionCollection descriptions = PageCatalogPart1.GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions();
    if (descriptions.Count > 0)
    {
      closedWebPart = PageCatalogPart1.GetWebPart(descriptions[0]);
      closedWebPart.AllowClose = false;
    }
  }
  
  // Use indexers to display the details of the CatalogPart controls.
  Label1.Text = String.Empty;
  Label1.Text =
    "<h3>PageCatalogPart Details</h3>" +
    "ID: " + myParts[0].ID + "<br />" +
    "Count: " + myParts[0].GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions().Count;
  Label1.Text += 
    "<h3>DeclarativeCatalogPart Details</h3>" +
    "ID: " + myParts["DeclarativeCatalogPart1"].ID + "<br />" +
    "Count: " + myParts["DeclarativeCatalogPart1"].GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions().Count;
}

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) 
    Dim list As New ArrayList(2)
    list.Add(PageCatalogPart1)
    list.Add(DeclarativeCatalogPart1)

When you load the page in a browser, you can switch the page into catalog mode by selecting Catalog in the Display Mode drop-down list control. Clicking the Display CatalogPart Properties button accesses the CatalogPartCollection object and displays certain properties of the contained CatalogPart controls. The count of available server controls within the DeclarativeCatalogPart control is obtained by using the Item[] indexer in the Button1_Click method.

Remarks

The Item[] indexer allows you to access the underlying CatalogPart controls in a CatalogPartCollection object by use of a string identifier. Although the CatalogPartCollection object is read-only, you can change the property values or call methods on the underlying controls accessed by the indexer.
