Property Value

An Orientation value that determines how controls in a zone are arranged. The default orientation is Vertical.

Exception typeCondition

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The value is not one of the enumerated Orientation values.

The LayoutOrientation property concerns how Web Parts controls are laid out in a zone. With the default Vertical orientation, the controls are rendered in a top-to-bottom arrangement, according to the ZoneIndex value of each control. With a Horizontal orientation, the controls are arranged side by side, subject to the width of the zone.

The following code example demonstrates the declarative and programmatic use of the LayoutOrientation property on a WebPartZone control. For the full code example, including the code-behind source file and the .aspx page that contains the zone in this code, see the WebPartZoneBase class overview.

Notice that the LayoutOrientation property has a value assigned to it in the declarative markup. This value impacts WebPartZone1, after you load the page into a browser. The Web Parts controls in the zone are rendered horizontally.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
