Although I've been doing a lot of sharepoint 2010 branding lately, programming webparts is something completely new for me.

  1. I need to put together three webparts.

  2. I want to create a Webpart1 (Dropdownlist), Webpart2 (Checkbox) and Webpart3 (GridView)

  3. My grid in webpart3 should display data based on filter values from the other two webparts.

Do I have to implement connectable webparts to do this?

Many thanks,

KS

Yes, you should make the Web Parts connectable - if you really want them as three Web Parts.

Why can't you make one Web Part containing all three controls?

Because I guess my boss wants each one of them to be re-usable.thx. – Perplexed Apr 18 '11 at 20:02
to increase reusability you could go for user controls and a virtual web part. – Anders Rask♦ Apr 18 '11 at 20:38
Do you mean that I can just create a standard asp.net usercontrol and deploy that to a sharepoint site? Thx. – Perplexed Apr 18 '11 at 20:52

You would deploy the user control to %SharePointRoot%/CONTROLTEMPLATES and then reuse it whether you want it on your masterpage or loaded from WebPart code using LoadControl("path/name.ascx"). – Alexey Krasheninnikov Apr 19 '11 at 9:15
What project template should I choose in VS if I wanted to create a re-usable webpart that can be used in Sharepoint and in a Asp.Net website? Hmmm, just a UserControl? Thx. – Perplexed Apr 19 '11 at 17:59
