IParametersInProvider.ParametersInReady Event

NOTE: This API is now obsolete.

Occurs when the parameter list is ready to be sent to the consumer Web Part. On the client computer, it can occur at any time; however, it is typically raised when a parameter is updated or selected. On the server, it must be raised in the PartCommunicationMain method.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.Communication
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ObsoleteAttribute("Use System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.IWebPartParameters instead")> _
Event ParametersInReady As ParametersInReadyEventHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As IParametersInProvider
Dim handler As ParametersInReadyEventHandler

AddHandler instance.ParametersInReady, handler
[ObsoleteAttribute("Use System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.IWebPartParameters instead")]
event ParametersInReadyEventHandler ParametersInReady

Remarks

The event handler receives an argument of type Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.Communication.ParametersInReadyEventArgs containing data related to this event. ParametersInReadyEventArgs contains an array of strings in its ParameterValues property. Each string in the array is a value of a parameter. The number and order of parameters represented in this array must match those specified by the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.Communication.ParametersInConsumerInitEventArgs argument in the ParametersInConsumerInit method.

A Web Part that implements the IParametersInProvider interface should always raise either the ParametersInReady event or the NoParametersIn event. Some Web Parts may not behave properly if they do not receive this information. Raise the ParametersInReady event to send the parameters. Raise the NoParametersIn event to indicate that there is no change in the parameters.

Examples

The following code example shows an overridden PartCommunicationMain method that fires the ParametersInReady event. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IParametersInProvider interface.

      ' Step #7: Implement the PartCommunicationMain() method.
      ' The PartCommunicationMain method is called by the Web Part 
      ' infrastructure on the client during the ASP.NET PreRender
      ' event to allow the part to pass its primary data to the other 
      ' connected parts.
      ' It is important to always fire either the ParametersInReady or 
      ' the NoParametersIn event. Some parts
      ' may not behave properly if they are left waiting for this 
      ' information.
      ' ParametersInReady should be fired to send the parameters.
      ' NoParametersIn should be fired to indicate that there is no 
      ' change in the parameters.
      Public Overrides Sub PartCommunicationMain()
            ' Ensure that all of the Web Part's controls are created.
            EnsureChildControls()

                If _parametersReadyButtonClicked Then 'ParametersInReady Button was clicked
