ASP.NET WebUserControl to SharePoint WebPart Best Practice (vs2008)

1. Create a web site, then add WebUserControls.

2. Download "Web Deployment Projects" from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyId=0AA30AE8-C73B-4BDD-BB1B-FE697256C459&displaylang=en, and install.

3. Open the web site project, and select "Add Web Deployment Project...", then it will generate a "Web Deployment Project" for this web site. (change "EnableUpdateable" to "false")

4. Create a SharePoint WebPart Project, use the following code to load the WebUserControl, and pass WebPart properties.

CreateChildControls

Type webUserControlType = Type.GetType( " ASP.webusercontrol_sampelwebusercontrol_ascx, SampleWeb, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=fdf301ab7ceba33c " );
if (webUserControlType != null )
{
UserControl webUserControl = (UserControl) this .Page.LoadControl(webUserControlType, null );
if (webUserControl is ISampleWebUserControl)
{
ISampleWebUserControl sampleWebUserControl = webUserControl as ISampleWebUserControl;
sampleWebUserControl.SampleProperty = this .SampleProperty;
}
this .Controls.Add(webUserControl);
}

 

5. Package the .dll file that generated by the "Web Deployment Project" into the  WebPart wsp package.
