Constraining the number of occurrence of web part inside a webpartmanager

[Oriane]

Hi there,

I'm coding a Web site with Web part, and I would like each web part to
appear at most once (if they appear they cannot appear twice or more) on the
site. Is this possible to configure the Web part control or the web part
manager for this ?

Sincerely

Oriane

Hi Oriane,

From your description, you're using ASP.NET 2.0 webpart service and wonder
how to restrict the number for webparts in your application, correct?

As for the webpartManager and webpart personalization service, they're
associated with a certain ASP.NET web page, that means each page will has
its own webpart status info(stored in provider specific database...).
Therefore, do you mean that you want to restrict teh webpart number of each
webpart equiped page?

Based on my research so far, there doesn't have any direct interfaces or
setting that can do this. One possible approach is using the events of the
WebpartManager class:

#WebPartManager Class
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.webparts.
webpartmanager.aspx

as you can find in the class, it contains many events that you can
subscribe, include the events when a new webpart control is about to add or
has been added into the page's web part collection.
