Using TreeNode.GetValue to get WebPart property
Hi,

I am quite new to kentico to please bear with me.

I have a page called resources. On the page is a widget. On the widget is a webpart. The webpart has properties.

I want to use the API to access the webpart properties (from the code behind of a webpart on a different page). I assume that I start by doing this:

TreeNode ResourceNode = TreeHelper.SelectSingleNode("/my-foundation/plan-basics/resources/resources");

This gets me the page, right? Then to get one of the properties I would do this:

string MyValue = ResourceNode.GetValue("MyProperty").ToString();

...except that the property is a member of the webpart rather than the page and so this does not work. What is the correct way to do this?

Thank you!
Steve

RE:Using TreeNode.GetValue to get WebPart property
Hello.

You can get property of any web part in any page template in code-behind using this code:


// Get proper PageTemplateInfo object
CMS.PortalEngine.PageTemplateInfo iPageTemp = null;
iPageTemp = CMS.PortalEngine.PageTemplateInfoProvider.GetPageTemplateInfo("pageTemplateName");

// Get web part instance
CMS.PortalEngine.WebPartInstance iWebPart = iWebPart = iPageTemp.GetWebPart("properCodeName");

// return required value
string iProperty = (string)iWebPart.GetValue("propertyName");


Best Regards,
