Adding a webpart to a webpart programatically

I'm developing a webpart in which I would like to implement the SocialBookmarking webpart, but I'm struggling to understand how I go about creating an instance of the SocialBookmarking webpart within my custom webpart programatically.

Is there a way to import the SocialBookmarking.ascx file into my webpart and create an instance of it using code?

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,
Richard.

RE:Adding a webpart to a webpart programatically

Thanks; however, I've already referred to the developer's guide and it doesn't seem to go into this level of detail. It explains how to add a CMS control to the web part, but I want to programatically include a webpart which does not have an associaed CMS control (the SocialBookmarking webpart) - is this possible?

RE:Adding a webpart to a webpart programatically

Hello,

you could add a control which has the source URL of appropriate web part source code.

For example (adding a Random Products web part into control):

<%@ Register Src="~/CMSWebParts/Ecommerce/RandomProducts.ascx" TagName="RandomProducts" TagPrefix="uc1" %>

and then you use it like this:

<uc1:RandomProducts runat="server" ID="RandomProducts" OnlyNRandomProducts="1" Path="/Products/%" TransformationName="ecommerce.transformations.Product_Featured" Visible="true" />

I hope it is now clearer for you.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
