System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.ConsumerConnectionPoint.SetObject Method

Invokes the callback method in a consumer control and retrieves the interface instance from a provider control.

Syntax

public virtual void SetObject (System.Web.UI.Control control, object data)

Parameters

control
The consumer control associated with a consumer connection point.
data
The interface instance returned from a provider control.

Remarks

This method receives an interface instance from a provider that contains data for the consumer control.

The ConsumerConnectionPoint.SetObject(System.Web.UI.Control, object) method is called by System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPartConnection objects when a connection is being activated. This is a critical step that is part of initiating a connection and enabling two controls to share data.

The consumer control in a connection must be able to work with the same type of interface as the provider. If it does not, the controls are incompatible and a System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPartTransformer object must be used to establish a connection.

Requirements

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
