Hi,

I have the provider and consumer web part. Trying to establish the connection part in Sharepoint site.

One thing that I couldn't get is where to add this connection part.

I'm fairly new to sharepoint development.

I do not know if I could modify the master page code behind file. Can you please give your suggestion. This is for a very basic one. Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Tinu

Jason,

I have an issue when trying to connect two list view webparts to eachother.

I get an error when executing the SPConnectWebParts method:

"Provider connection point .... on .... and consumer connection point .... on .... are Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 connection interfaces. User Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Web Part Connection property instead"

However, I have no idea how to use that ... Maybe you know?

Thanks

Nick

Hi,

I reproduce your ASP.NET connection medel, but when I call SPConnectWebParts I receive exception: "The provider connection point "Row of Data" on "g_1f323d8d_af86_47a0_a398_be63a5ac9028" and the transformer do not use the same connection interface." What you recommend at this situation?

Pingback from  Connecting webparts at Object Model « where coding happens !

I'm trying to do something similar to yourself but without any joy, I kinda hoping you can help because I'm pulling my hair out with this.

I am in the process of creating a site definition using VSeWSS. I need to define a list and have a QueryStringFilterWebPart set up on the AllItems.aspx page for when the site is provisioned.

I have tried to add the web part to the markup for the AllItems.aspx page in a number of different methods but an exception is always thrown so I've now gave up on this method.

I am now attempting to create the QueryStringFilterWebPart and connect it to the ListViewWebPart via the object model (this will eventually be perfomed in the site provisioning handler).

I can succesfully create the QueryStringFilterWebPart and the SPWebPartConnection. However when I navigate to the AllItems.aspx page I get:

"Web Part Error:  This page has exceeded its data fetch limit for connected Web Parts. Try disconnecting one or more Web Parts to correct the problem."

When I go into 'Site Actions' > 'Edit Page' I can see that both web parts exist and that they are connected but when I go to 'connections' on the 'edit' menu for either of the web parts and click on the connection the 'consumer Field Name' is defaulted to 'Title'. I need this to be set to 'RequestedFor' which is a user field within the list. When I set the field correctly the error goes away and the page works perfectly.

However I can't find where to set the 'Consumer Field Name' in the object model. Here is some test code which I'm using to create the web part

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

       public static void WebPartTest()

       {

           SPSite site = new SPSite("http://agb-aldis-asc/");

           SPWeb aldisWebSite = site.OpenWeb().Webs["ALDIS"];

           SPWeb trainingWebSite = aldisWebSite.Webs["Training"];

           SPList trainingNeeds = trainingWebSite.Lists["Training Needs"];

           SPView allitemsform = trainingNeeds.Views["All Items"];

           SPLimitedWebPartManager mgr = trainingWebSite.GetLimitedWebPartManager(allitemsform.Url, PersonalizationScope.Shared);

           ListViewWebPart listViewWebPart = mgr.WebParts[0] as ListViewWebPart;

           QueryStringFilterWebPart filterwebpart = new QueryStringFilterWebPart();

           filterwebpart.CatalogIconImageUrl = "/_layouts/images/wp_Filter.gif";

           filterwebpart.ZoneID = "Main";

           filterwebpart.QueryStringParameterName="RequestedFor";

           filterwebpart.AllowClose=false;

           filterwebpart.ConnectionID= new Guid("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000");

           filterwebpart.HelpMode = WebPartHelpMode.Modeless;

           filterwebpart.TitleUrl = "";

           filterwebpart.TitleIconImageUrl = "/_layouts/images/wp_Filter.gif";

           filterwebpart.Description = "Filter the contents of web parts using values passed via the query string.";

           filterwebpart.ChromeType = PartChromeType.None;

           filterwebpart.Hidden = false;

           filterwebpart.AllowHide = true;

           filterwebpart.AllowZoneChange = true;

           filterwebpart.AllowEdit = true;

           filterwebpart.AllowMinimize = true;

           filterwebpart.HelpUrl = "";

           filterwebpart.ExportMode = WebPartExportMode.All;

           filterwebpart.Direction = ContentDirection.NotSet;

           filterwebpart.SuppressWebPartChrome = false;

           filterwebpart.ID = "g_14cfe10a_7684_4970_a5c8_12e13b5a96b7";

           filterwebpart.ImportErrorMessage = "Cannot import this Web Part.";

           filterwebpart.AuthorizationFilter = "";

           filterwebpart.FilterName = "QueryString RequestedFor Filter";

           filterwebpart.AllowConnect = true;

           filterwebpart.ChromeState = PartChromeState.Normal;

           filterwebpart.Title = "QueryString RequestedFor Filter";

           filterwebpart.Height = "";

           filterwebpart.Width = "";

           mgr.AddWebPart(filterwebpart, "main", 1);

           ConsumerConnectionPointCollection ccc = mgr.GetConsumerConnectionPoints(listViewWebPart);

           ProviderConnectionPointCollection ppp = mgr.GetProviderConnectionPoints(filterwebpart);

           TransformableFilterValuesToParametersTransformer filterToParameterTransformer = new TransformableFilterValuesToParametersTransformer();

           IWebPartParameters iWebPartParameter = ((IWebPartParameters)filterToParameterTransformer);

           PropertyDescriptorCollection descriptorCollection = iWebPartParameter.Schema;

           SPWebPartConnection conn = mgr.SPConnectWebParts(filterwebpart, ppp["ITransformableFilterValues"], listViewWebPart, ccc["ListViewFilterConsumer_WPQ_"], filterToParameterTransformer);

           mgr.SPWebPartConnections.Add(conn);

       }

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

From debugging this code I can see that there is a private property '_consumerFieldNames' on the TransformableFilterValuesToParametersTransformer object which is not set after I first add the filter to the page, but it then becomes set when I 'fix' the error through the UI, however as this is a private property I obviously can't set it myself! Does anyone know how this property gets set?

If you can help with the way I'm trying to do this or you can provide advice on an alternative solution I would be extremely grateful...

Thanks

Adam
