Scenario:
I use lot of configurable properties in my Webpart.
Always end in spending 5-10 min to make it work because of stupid Microsoft article ( Creating a Web Part with Custom Properties ) , which always shows up as number 1 result when you google, which talk about WebPart inherited from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart class
Solution:
Here's the 100% right way to do it.
Code:
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
namespace MyClient
{
public class NewWP : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart
{
private const string const_configuationListName = "xConfigurationMasterList";
private string m_configuationListName = const_configuationListName;
// Configuration List Name property.
[Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared)]
[WebBrowsable(true)]
[Category("Custom Properties")]
[WebDisplayName("Configuration List Name")]
[Description("Configuration List Name")]
[DefaultValue(const_configuationListName)]
public string ConfigurationListName
{
get
{
return m_configuationListName;
}
set
{
m_configuationListName = value;
}
}
...
}
}

Hi Sandeep,
Very nice article.
I need something more.
On page load itself i would like to fill the textbox dynamically from the sharepoint list data.
How can i achieve this one...
Hey man,
Thanks for your "how to"... I was unable to get the properties displayed on the edit mode of my webpart.
I followed the example published by microsoft as well and it wouldn't work.
I went crazy because I did everything the ms' tutorial told me to...
Thanks alot! My weekend has been saved :-)
