CatalogPart::GetWebPart Method

Retrieves from a catalog the WebPart control that is referenced by the WebPartDescription object passed to the method.

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

public:
virtual WebPart^ GetWebPart(
	WebPartDescription^ description
) abstract

Parameters

description
Type: System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts::WebPartDescription

A WebPartDescription that contains a reference to a specific WebPart.

Return Value

Type: System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts::WebPart
A WebPart that is referenced by the object in the description parameter.

The GetWebPart method returns a WebPart control from a catalog. The WebPartDescription object that is passed to the method matches a specific WebPart control and enables that control to be returned by the method.

If a catalog contains a server control that does not derive from the WebPart class, such as an ASP.NET server control, a custom server control, or a user control, a CatalogPart control must wrap the server control with a GenericWebPart control, and return the GenericWebPart control from this method.

Notes to Inheritors:

The GetWebPart method is abstract, so it must be implemented by derived CatalogPart controls. This method is called by the zone that contains a CatalogPart control, by an associated CatalogPartChrome object, and by the WebPartManager object on a Web page.
