array
EditorPart[]

An EditorPart to contain the copied collection of controls.

index

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the CopyTo method to create a custom array of EditorPart controls. For the full code required to run the example, see the Example section of the EditorPartCollection class overview.

The code in the Button1_Click event creates an array of EditorPart controls, adds the LayoutEditorPart1 control to the array, and then uses the CopyTo method to copy the controls from the EditorPartCollection object to the array.

When you load the page in a browser, you can switch the page into edit mode by selecting Edit in the Display Mode drop-down list control. You can click the verbs menu (the downward arrow) in the title bar of the TextDisplayWebPart control, and click Edit to edit the control. When the editing user interface (UI) is visible, you can see all the EditorPart controls. If you click the Create EditorPartCollection button, you will notice that the titles of all the controls in the custom array are listed near the bottom of the page.

Remarks

The CopyTo method is useful when you want to create a custom array that can contain the EditorPart controls in the EditorPartCollection object, a subset of those controls, or a superset of those controls.
