How to add PageView webpart?

Question

This is not working....

SPLimitedWebPartManager webpartManager = webPartPage.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.Shared);
PageViewerWebPart pvwp = new PageViewerWebPart();
pvwp.Title = "My Page View WP";
webpartManager.AddWebPart(pvwp, "TOP", 0);

Looks like you may be missing a call to SPLimitedWebPartManager.SaveChanges. As @omlin points out, this isn't actually necessary.

Here is the code I'm using which is working fine:

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://servername/sites/test/"))
{
    SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
    SPFile webPartPage = web.GetFile("Pages/Default.aspx");
    SPLimitedWebPartManager webPartManager = webPartPage.GetLimitedWebPartManager(System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);
    PageViewerWebPart pvwp = new PageViewerWebPart();
    pvwp.Title = "My Page Viewer Web Part";
    webPartManager.AddWebPart(pvwp, "TOP", 0);

    // not actually needed
    //webPartManager.SaveChanges(pvwp);
}

Things to check:

• Does your page need to be checked out? (Check webPartPage.CheckOutStatus)
• Do you have permission?
• Are you receiving an error?
