Namespace:   System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

public:
ConnectionProviderAttribute(
	String^ displayName,
	String^ id,
	Type^ connectionPointType
)

Parameters

displayName
Type: System::String^

A string that contains a friendly name for the provider connection point to display in the user interface (UI).

id
Type: System::String^

The ID, a unique string value assigned to the provider connection point.

connectionPointType
Type: System::Type^

A Type that derives from ProviderConnectionPoint, and that you want to specify as the type of connection point object to use with a specific callback method.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

displayName, id, or connectionPointType is null.

ArgumentException

connectionPointType is not valid.

The displayName parameter is a friendly name of the provider connection point that is used by the ConnectionsZone control to represent a provider's connection point in the UI.

The id parameter is used to specify the ID for the provider connection point associated with the specific callback method. A control can have multiple connection points, but the id for each must be unique. Therefore, this overload of the constructor is useful if you have multiple callback methods in your provider control.

The connectionPointType parameter must be a Type derived from ProviderConnectionPoint. If this parameter is specified, the Type is used to create the connection point instead of the standard ProviderConnectionPoint class provided with the Web Parts control set.
