IParametersOutProvider.NoParametersOut Event

NOTE: This API is now obsolete.

Occurs when the provider Web Part has no parameter values to pass to the other connected parts.

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

Syntax

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

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

Remarks

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

Examples

The following code example shows an overridden PartCommunicationsMain method that fires the NoParametersOut event. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IParametersOutProvider interface.

      ' Step #8: Override 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 ParametersOutReady or 
      ' the NoParametersOut event. Some parts
      ' may not behave properly if they are left waiting for this 
      ' information.
      ' ParametersOutReady should be fired to send the parameters.
      ' NoParametersOut should be fired to indicate that there is no 
      ' change in the parameters.
