Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetCurrentWebPartManager method. The example has two parts: a custom server control, and a Web page that hosts the control.

The custom Label control uses the GetCurrentWebPartManager method to retrieve the ID of the WebPartManager control on the current page, and then displays the ID.

namespace Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls
{
  using System;
  using System.Web;
  using System.Web.Security;
  using System.Security.Permissions;
  using System.Web.UI;
  using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
  using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

  [AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand,
    Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
  [AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand,
    Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
  public class MyManagerIDLabel : Label
  {

    protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
    {
      EnsureChildControls();

      this.Text = 
        WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(Page).ID;
    }
  }
}

    Inherits Label

    Protected Overrides Sub OnPreRender(ByVal e As EventArgs)

      EnsureChildControls()
      Me.Text = _
        WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(Page).ID

    End Sub

  End Class

End Namespace

The following code example provides the Web page that hosts the control in a WebPartZone zone.

After you load the page in a browser, notice that the ID of the current WebPartManager control is displayed within the custom Label control.

Remarks

The GetCurrentWebPartManager method is useful in contexts where you want to retrieve a reference to the current WebPartManager control. A common scenario where this would occur is if you are writing a custom control that cannot know during development what the ID of the WebPartManager control on its page will be.

Note

The GetCurrentWebPartManager method is static, so you can call it directly without needing an instance of a WebPartManager control.

Some controls in the Web Parts control set, such as WebPart controls, have a WebPartManager property that can retrieve a reference to the current WebPartManager control. Hence, when working with such controls, you should use this property to retrieve a reference.

If you are coding in a context where you know the ID of the WebPartManager control, such as writing code inline within a Web page, it is simplest and most efficient to refer directly to the WebPartManager control by using its ID.
