RE:Webpart Properties

Hello.

I am not familiar with your custom web part and with its content, however on Portal engine page, you can manage it via WebPartZones in page layout and their dimension / positions. I would recommend you to inspect some existing page template (e.g. Home page with top image and three columns) and see, what styles and positioning is used. You can also experience that you can have 1 web part (e.g. standard Repeater), which have dynamic width, according to current WebPartZone (so it fits to width of given WebPartZone).

Of course, you can ensure fix dimension in Visual Studio, in Design mode.

I would recommend you, beside investigation of current page templates and styles on default Corporate site web site, to read following tutorial, where you can see more details: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/tutorial/index.html

RE:Webpart Properties

Hello.

You can see properties of any web part in Site Manager -> Development -> Web parts -> choose web part -> Properties tab. Anyway, it is not about having properties there only, you need write logic for them and use them properly in code-behind if given web part. Web part files can be found in <project folder>/CMSWebParts directory.

For better understanding please read article about custom web part development here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/developing_web_parts.htm

I am wondering why don´t you use existing Editable image web part, allowing to set dimensions of given image, and it even allowing resizing? Can you clarify? Thank you.

Best Regards,
Radek Macalik
