' Step #7: Override the PartCommunicationMain() method.
' The PartCommunicationMain method is called by the Web Part
' infrastructure on the client during the ASP.NET PreRender
' event to allow the part to pass its primary data to the other
' connected parts.
' It is important to always fire either the SetFilter, NoFilter,
' or ClearFilter event. Some parts
' may not behave properly if they are left waiting for this
' information.
' SetFilter should be fired to send the filter expression.
' NoFilter should be fired to indicate that there is no change in
' the filter expression.
' ClearFilter should be fired to indicate that the filter should
' be removed.
