Aashish, check your previous post about this exact question. http://devnet.kentico.com/questions/how-to-use-banner-rotator-webpart-in-transformation.

You cannot nest a webpart inside a transformation. You need to use user controls that do not inherit the CMSAbstractWebpart class, which are not the same as a webpart, in your transformation.

Hi,

register it as any user control: <%@ Register src="~/BannerManagement/BannerRotator.ascx" tagname="BannerRotator" tagprefix="uc1" %> <uc1:BannerRotator ID="BannerRotator1" runat="server" />

Only thing that you need to add to this are properties. Best would be to use Visual studio, intellisense will give you entire list and then copy it to your transformation.

Hi,

I have just checked this and it is strange that this property isn't public. I could recommend you to customize this control so bannerCategoryCodeName is public and you can add property from transformation. Open any other control and you can see how they work.
