WebPartTransformerAttribute(Type, Type) Constructor

Definition

Namespace:

System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts

Assembly:

System.Web.dll

Initializes a new instance of the WebPartTransformerAttribute class.

public:
 WebPartTransformerAttribute(Type ^ consumerType, Type ^ providerType);

public WebPartTransformerAttribute (Type consumerType, Type providerType);

new System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPartTransformerAttribute : Type * Type -> System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPartTransformerAttribute

Public Sub New (consumerType As Type, providerType As Type)

Parameters

consumerType

Type

The Type of the interface supported by the consumer connection point.

providerType

Type

The Type of the interface supported by the provider connection point.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

consumerType or providerType is not specified.

InvalidOperationException

consumerType equals providerType.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of a WebPartTransformerAttribute attribute with a customized WebPartTransformer class. The attribute indicates that the RowToStringTransformer class can transform a provider connection point of type IWebPartRow to a consumer connection point of type IString.

This code example is part of a larger example found in the WebPartTransformer class overview.

public class RowToStringTransformer : WebPartTransformer, IString

    private IWebPartRow _provider;
    private StringCallback _callback;

    private void GetRowData(object rowData)
    {
        PropertyDescriptorCollection props = _provider.Schema;

Remarks

The WebPartTransformerAttribute constructor sets the consumer connection point type and the provider connection point type for the transformer. These values can be retrieved through the ConsumerType property and the ProviderType property, respectively.
