challenging dynamic reporting portal using webparts.   

hello,
I am trying to create n controls, modify each controls' properties then add 
them to the catalog zone.

Then the user will select and add each webpart to the approciate 
webpartzone.

why n?
each control is a different report the user has generated before and each 
query of them is saved in the database.
the purpose of this is, when the user logs in, I will find the querries of 
the user, populate each report item (control) in the catalog zone,
then the user will be able to select what report she wants to see in her 
welcome page....

need a lot help on this (referral, sample, advice.....)

Hi Rifat,

DeclarativeCatalogZone has a property called "WebPartsTemplate" which has 
the type of ITemplate.

So; the idea how to use it is just like below.



<asp:CatalogZone ID="mainCatalogZone" runat="Server">
	<ZoneTemplate>
		<asp:DeclarativeCatalogPart ID="mainCatalogPart" runat="server" 
Title="Available WebParts">
		</asp:DeclarativeCatalogPart>
	</ZoneTemplate>
</asp:CatalogZone>



In code behind:



DeclarativeCatalogPart m_MainCatalogPart = 
mainCatalogZone.FindControl("mainCatalogPart") as DeclarativeCatalogPart;

if (m_MainCatalogPart == null)
	return;

WebPartsList m_WebPartsList = new WebPartsList();

m_MainCatalogPart.WebPartsTemplate = m_WebPartsList;



And "WebPartsList" class and its logic looks like the following:



    public class WebPartsList : ITemplate
    {
        #region ITemplate Members

        public void InstantiateIn(Control owner)
        {
		// Add WebParts here, in a foreach or a for or any other applicable circle

		WebPart m_WebPart = new WebPart(); // You must set the correct type here

		m_WebPart.ID = "wp123";
		m_WebPart.Title = "Title";
		m_WebPart.Description = "Description";

		owner.Controls.Add(m_WebPart);
        }

        #endregion
    }
