Remarks
The PropertyGridEditorPart provides a generic user interface (UI) that enables users to edit custom properties on WebPart and server controls that are placed in WebPartZoneBase zones. In contrast, the other EditorPart controls, such as the AppearanceEditorPart and BehaviorEditorPart controls, edit only existing, UI-oriented properties from the WebPart class.
For more information on the PropertyGridEditorPart and Web Parts controls, see ASP.NET Web Parts Controls.
Example
The following code example demonstrates how to use a PropertyGridEditorPart control. The Web page contains a declarative reference to an EditorZone control, with a child zonetemplate element that contains a declarative reference to a PropertyGridEditorPart control.
For the definitions of the user control and the custom control that is referenced in the @ Register, see "Example" in the class overview for PropertyGridEditorPart.
