Remarks

The DeclarativeCatalogPart control provides a way for developers to add a set of server controls declaratively to a catalog on a Web page. A catalog, in the Web Parts control set, is a list of WebPart or other server controls that is visible when a page is in catalog-display mode. A user can select controls from the list and add them to the Web page, which effectively gives users the ability to change the set of controls and the functionality on a page.

For more information on the DeclarativeCatalogPart and Web Parts controls, see ASP.NET Web Parts Pages.

Example

The following code example demonstrates using the DeclarativeCatalogPart control. The Web page allows a user to add a Calendar or CreateUserWizard control to a Web Parts zone.
