Few Web Parts In Sidebar

Alrite I need help is it posible if i wanted to create a new web part that consist of another web parts

My issue is I wanted to create a sidebar that look the same on few pages which means that sidebar is in 1 control by changing the value all sidebar will get the same value.

If i wanted to do in masterpage might do but this sidebar has special web part which only being display in certain pages.

So if I manage to compile them into 1 web part name as Sidebar Web Part would be easier If i just call it in certain page i want only.

RE:Few Web Parts In Sidebar

Hello,

maybe you could use Show for document types property or Visibility property (you can set up a special macro which returns true or falso according to your needs).

However, you can develop a web part which includes other web parts. The web part is an ascx control in fact and you can register any controls in your custom web part. Please see here: Developing web parts for more information.

Best regards,

RE:Few Web Parts In Sidebar

Hi thanks lucky ive found an more easy way to have all web parts in 1 web part, which is i created a custom placeholder and a custom page that holds all the other web parts. therefore i have a sidebar placeholder which is can be call from any other page, so basically anytime i need an update i just edit the the sidebar page and it reflect to all page with the same data and same webparts thanks...
