Public ReadOnly Property Zones As WebPartZoneCollection

Property Value

WebPartZoneCollection

A WebPartZoneCollection that references a set of WebPartZoneBase zones.

Attributes: BrowsableAttribute

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Zones property programmatically to access individual WebPartZoneBase zone controls. Notice that in the declarative markup for the Web page, there are two <asp:webpartzone> elements, each containing a server control. In the <script> section of the page, the code uses the Zones property to access the individual zones, listing all the zone IDs and then changing the background color on the second zone.

Note that for the code example to work, you must add a setting in the Web.config file to enable exporting Web Parts description files. Ensure that you have a Web.config file in the same directory as the Web page for this code example. Within the <system.web> section, make sure there is a <webParts> element with an enableExport attribute set to true, as in the following markup.

<webParts enableExport="true">

...

</webParts>

After you load the page into a browser, if you click the List Zone IDs button, the code uses the Zones property to list the IDs of all zones in the collection. If you click the Change Zone BackColor button, the code changes the background color of the second zone.

Remarks

The Zones property is used by the WebPartManager control to track the WebPartZoneBase zones on a Web page. Note that the property does not reference all types of zones; it references only zones that derive from the WebPartZoneBase class, including WebPartZone zones.

Although the collection referenced by the property is read-only, you can use it to access the individual objects in the collection and work with them programmatically.
