Background

The WebPartZone control inherits user interface elements from the WebZone base class and provides a common UI for the controls that it contains. These common UI elements are known collectively as chrome. They consist of the peripheral UI elements on all the controls, such as the border, title, header and footer, style characteristics, and verbs (UI actions that a user can carry out on a control, such as close or minimize). For more information about the UI elements that the WebPartZone control inherits from the WebZone base class, see the WebZone class documentation.
