Remarks

The WebPartDescriptionCollection class is created by the various CatalogPart controls in their implementations of the GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions method. For each WebPart control that is contained in a CatalogPart control, a WebPartDescription object is created. This object maintains basic information about a WebPart control, including its ID, its title, its description, and a path to an associated icon. The various CatalogPart controls can use a WebPartDescription object to display a WebPart control's information in the catalog, without having to create an instance of the WebPart control itself.

The WebPartDescriptionCollection class is used internally by the Web Parts control set to maintain a collection of all the WebPartDescription objects used in a catalog. The WebPartDescriptionCollection collection is used only when a page is in catalog display mode. When a CatalogPart control is being rendered, it loops through the WebPartDescriptionCollection collection, adding the information from each WebPartDescription object to the displayed catalog.

Constructors

WebPartDescriptionCollection()	Initializes an empty new instance of the WebPartDescriptionCollection class.
WebPartDescriptionCollection(ICollection)	Initializes a new instance of a WebPartDescriptionCollection object by passing in an ICollection collection of WebPartDescription objects.

Properties

Count	Gets the number of elements contained in the ReadOnlyCollectionBase instance. (Inherited from ReadOnlyCollectionBase)
InnerList	Gets the list of elements contained in the ReadOnlyCollectionBase instance. (Inherited from ReadOnlyCollectionBase)
Item[Int32]	Gets a member of the collection based on its index within the collection.
Item[String]	Gets a member of the collection based on a unique string identifier.

Methods

Contains(WebPartDescription)	Returns a value indicating whether a particular control exists in the collection.
CopyTo(WebPartDescription[], Int32)	Copies the collection to an array of WebPartDescription objects.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetEnumerator()	Returns an enumerator that iterates through the ReadOnlyCollectionBase instance. (Inherited from ReadOnlyCollectionBase)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IndexOf(WebPartDescription)	Returns the position of a particular member of the collection.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

ICollection.CopyTo(Array, Int32)	Copies the entire ReadOnlyCollectionBase to a compatible one-dimensional Array, starting at the specified index of the target array. (Inherited from ReadOnlyCollectionBase)
ICollection.IsSynchronized	Gets a value indicating whether access to a ReadOnlyCollectionBase object is synchronized (thread safe). (Inherited from ReadOnlyCollectionBase)
ICollection.SyncRoot	Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to a ReadOnlyCollectionBase object. (Inherited from ReadOnlyCollectionBase)

Extension Methods

Cast<TResult>(IEnumerable)	Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type.
OfType<TResult>(IEnumerable)	Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type.
AsParallel(IEnumerable)	Enables parallelization of a query.
AsQueryable(IEnumerable)	Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable.
