PersonalizationAdministration.FindSharedState Method

public:
 static System::Web::UI::WebControls::WebParts::PersonalizationStateInfoCollection ^ FindSharedState(System::String ^ pathToMatch);

public static System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationStateInfoCollection FindSharedState (string pathToMatch);

static member FindSharedState : string -> System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationStateInfoCollection

Public Shared Function FindSharedState (pathToMatch As String) As PersonalizationStateInfoCollection

Parameters

Returns

A PersonalizationStateInfoCollection that contains shared personalization state information.

Exceptions

Remarks

This method returns a collection of UserPersonalizationStateInfo instances where the pathToMatch value matches the path of a page that has shared personalization state data. The collection contains only SharedPersonalizationStateInfo instances.

This method passes parameter wildcard characters to the underlying personalization provider, so how the data store handles these characters depends on how the provider handles characters such as an asterisk (*), a percent symbol (%), or an underscore (_).

Normally, for SQL-compliant data stores, you can perform a wildcard search on a partial path with the wildcard character appearing at the beginning, the end, or the middle of the search string text in the PathToMatch property. For example, to find all paths that start with "~/vdir", the PathToMatch property would be set to "~/vdir%".

Using the default personalization provider, the PersonalizationStateInfo-derived objects are returned in alphabetical order, and sorted by a combination of path and user name in ascending order. The ordering of the objects in the collection is determined by the provider.

The pathToMatch parameter can be null. If set to null, the parameter is ignored when performing queries.

The pathToMatch parameter can be null. If set to null, the parameter is ignored when performing queries.

The data returned is constrained by pageIndex and pageSize, where pageIndex controls which records to return and pageSize controls the number of records to return. For example, if pageIndex was set to 0 and pageSize was set to 25, the data returned would be the first 25 entries. If pageIndex was set to 1 and pageSize was set to 25, the data returned would be entries 26 to 50. The totalRecords parameter returns the total number of records that are available.
