I am trying to create a unique component that has two Content Editor Web Parts. One of these will contain embed code showing a video, while the other one will contain description as HTML.
The idea is to keep both controls separate, but treat this as a unique Web Part so adding it to different pages will be easier.
Adding a Web Part Zone to a Web Part sounds weird, but I tried it anyway and I keep getting different errors. Is this even possible?
Would this be possible using a User Control instead?
UPDATE
I have managed to add a CEWP to my Visual Web Part programmatically by adding the code below to the OnInit event:
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
using (SPLimitedWebPartManager wpmgr = page.GetLimitedWebPartManager(System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared))
{
XmlElement p = new XmlDocument().CreateElement("p");
p.InnerText = "Hello World";
ContentEditorWebPart cewp = new ContentEditorWebPart();
cewp.Content = p;
wpmgr.AddWebPart(cewp, String.Format("{0}_webPartZone", this.ID), 0);
wpmgr.SaveChanges(cewp);
}
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
The isse now is that this is triggered every time the page loads, so a new CEWP is added to my page. How can I determine whether I already have a CEWP or not? Should I iterate through the WebParts on the SPLimitedWebPartManager?
