ParameterInProperty.Required Property
NOTE: This API is now obsolete.
Gets or sets the required status of a parameter provided by a WebPart that implements the IParametersInConsumer interface when the ParametersInConsumerInitevent occurs.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.Communication
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<ObsoleteAttribute("Use System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.IWebPartParameters instead")> _
Public Property Required As Boolean
Get
Set
'Usage
Dim instance As ParameterInProperty
Dim value As Boolean
value = instance.Required
instance.Required = value
[ObsoleteAttribute("Use System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.IWebPartParameters instead")]
public bool Required { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the parameter is required; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The Required property indicates whether a parameter is required or not. If false is specified, indicating that the parameter is optional, and no mapping is specified by the user, then an empty string is passed as the value for the optional parameter to the consumer Web Part.
Examples
The following code example shows an overridden WebPart.PartCommunicationInitmethod that sets the Required property of an instance of the ParameterInProperty class. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IParametersInConsumer interface.
' Step #7: Override the PartCommunicationInit method.

' parts may not behave properly if this initialization
' information is not received.
