I am working with the MSDN example scenario creating creating a custom web part. Can anybody tell me why is it showing the square bottom div below (see in the image).

It says "Bottom" and it disappears once I am out of the property window, any ideas?

I think it's part of the PageLayout , when the Page is in EditMode it displays all the different zones.

Create a Custom Page layout OR use as James suggested use BlankWebpart. – Vamsi Oct 13 '11 at 17:37

I can only assume that the web part was added to a page layout that had a web part zone and a rich content zone below it, or had two rich content zones, and only the label for the bottom one is visible.

It is a poor example from MS though. They could have at least had more context of the page it's running in, like a Team Site. That way we know what's normal and what's 'different' about what they're illustrating.

Ah!! I submitted my answer and I see ur answer when the page loads back :( ; this is one very active forum :) – Vamsi Oct 13 '11 at 17:09
do you have any good example that you know? – Abu Hamzah Oct 13 '11 at 17:16
If you want it removing, just follow through their example on a blank web part page. Shouldn't show up. Let us know if it does. – James Love Oct 13 '11 at 17:24
James: i dont find where exactly it says... can you point out to me? – Abu Hamzah Oct 13 '11 at 18:01
Where it says what? I'm just making an assumption that it's on a page layout. – James Love Oct 13 '11 at 19:04
