WebPartManager1.CloseWebPart Error

[Jerry C]

I am trying to close a webpart in a WebPartZone. There is a WebPartManager
and CatalogZone on the page.
The WebPartZone looks like this

<ZoneTemplate>
<uc1DEstimate ID="DDEstimate1"
title="Estimate" runat="server" />
<uc2DStationVendor ID="DDStationVendor1"
title="Vendor Summary" runat="server" />
<uc3DEstimateLog ID="DDEstimateLog1"
title="Estimate Status Log" runat="server" />
<uc5DEmailToDownloadAlert
ID="DDEmailToDownloadAlert1" title="Traffic Manager Alerts" runat="server" />


</ZoneTemplate>


I am trying to use the code:
WebPartManager1.CloseWebPart(DDEmailToDownloadAlert1)
to close the webpart and getting the error:
Error 10 Value of type 'ASP.ddemailtodownloadalert_ascx' cannot be converted
to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart'.

Thank you

Hi Jerry,

When using User Control or Server Control as WebPart, they will be wrapped
with GenericWebPart, which can be referenced by the control's Parent
property:

WebPartManager1.CloseWebPart(CType(DDEmailToDownloadAlert1.Parent,
GenericWebPart))

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.
