Property Value

String

A string that represents the URL to an image used to represent the control in a catalog. The default value is an empty string ("").

Examples

The following code example demonstrates declarative and programmatic use of the CatalogIconImageUrl property. The complete source code for the example is found in the Example section of the IWebPart class overview.

The first part of the code example shows how the user control implements the CatalogIconImageUrl property.

public string CatalogIconImageUrl
{
  get
  {
    object objTitle = ViewState["CatalogIconImageUrl"];
    if (objTitle == null)
      return String.Empty;

    return (string)objTitle;
  }
  set
  {
    ViewState["CatalogIconImageUrl"] = value;
  }
}

Public Property CatalogIconImageUrl() As String _
  Implements IWebPart.CatalogIconImageUrl
  Get
    Dim objTitle As Object = ViewState("CatalogIconImageUrl")
    If objTitle Is Nothing Then
      Return String.Empty
    End If
    Return CStr(objTitle)
  End Get
  Set(ByVal value As String)
    ViewState("CatalogIconImageUrl") = value
  End Set
End Property

The second part of the code example demonstrates the method in the user control that programmatically sets the value of the CatalogIconImageUrl property when a user selects the appropriate property name from the radio buttons on the page, sets a new value in the text box, and then clicks the Update button.

Important

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

// Update the selected IWebPart property value.
void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  String propertyValue = Server.HtmlEncode(TextBox3.Text);
  TextBox3.Text = String.Empty;

  switch (RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue)
  {
    case "title":
      this.Title = propertyValue;
      break;
    case "description":
      this.Description = propertyValue;
      break;
    case "catalogiconimageurl":
      this.CatalogIconImageUrl = propertyValue;
      break;
    case "titleiconimageurl":
      this.TitleIconImageUrl = propertyValue;
      break;
    case "titleurl":
      this.TitleUrl = propertyValue;
      break;
    default:
      break;
  }
}

' Update the selected IWebPart property value.
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
  Dim propertyValue As String = Server.HtmlEncode(TextBox3.Text)
  TextBox3.Text = String.Empty
    
  Select Case RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue
    Case "title"
      Me.Title = propertyValue
    Case "description"
      Me.Description = propertyValue
    Case "catalogiconimageurl"
      Me.CatalogIconImageUrl = propertyValue
    Case "titleiconimageurl"
      Me.TitleIconImageUrl = propertyValue
    Case "titleurl"
      Me.TitleUrl = propertyValue
    Case Else
  End Select

End Sub 'Button1_Click

The third part of the code example shows how the user control that implements the IWebPart interface is referenced in a WebPartZone control, and how the CatalogIconImageUrl property is set declaratively on the control. Note that because there is no catalog of Web Parts controls provided with this example, you cannot see the actual effect of setting this property.

Remarks

Web Parts applications often provide a catalog (or list) of controls that users can add to a page. The CatalogIconImageUrl property on a control contains the URL to an image that represents the control when it appears in a catalog.
