It seems we cannot get the ZoneIds directly, although we can see it in watch window during debugging. It is in SPLimitedWebPartManager.WebPartManager.WebPartZoneIds[]. However "WebPartManager" is not public variable.
Below is the screen shot of that WebPart page:
So we can easily guess out the ZoneId of each WebPart zone.
public const string Zone_TitleBar = @"TitleBar";
public const string Zone_Header = @"Header";
public const string Zone_LeftColumn = @"LeftColumn";
public const string Zone_MiddleColumn = @"MiddleColumn";
public const string Zone_RightColumn = @"RightColumn";
public const string Zone_Footer = @"Footer";
Now, at least we know what we should do if we want to add a WebPart into the "Left Column" zone.
spLimitedWebPartManager.AddWebPart(objListViewWebPart, Zone_LeftColumn, 1);
A Thing to note :
ReplyDeleteIn SharePoint 2010 the property ZoneId does not exist anymore...
You must use the method
GetZoneID(WebPart wp) of the SPLimitedWebPartManager to get the ZoneId
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI guess the best way is to get them through SPLimitedWebPartManager (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/br/sharepoint2010programming/thread/d83f7485-c983-4497-b92a-bfc9b3827011):
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() {
SPSite mySiteCollection = new SPSite(siteURL);
SPWeb w = mySiteCollection.OpenWeb();
SPLimitedWebPartManager wpm= w.GetLimitedWebPartManager(pageURL, PersonalizationScope.Shared);
SPWebPartManager manager = this.Parent.Parent as SPWebPartManager;//this.Parent is not //accesible or not present
WebPartZoneCollection zones = manager.Zones;
string zid=string.Empty;
if (zones != null && zones.Count > 0)
{
foreach (System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPartZone zone in zones)
{
zid+= zone.ID.ToString();
}
}
});
