ZoneID of the zone to which the wp is being added

Question

How do I find out the zoneID of the zone where my custom webpart is being added? Have tried few things including this one.

AnotherWP.ZoneID = ((WebPart) mgr.WebParts["ControllerID"]).Zone.ID;

But it doesnt seem to work. Thoughts?

I don't understand. Do you want to get the ID of the zone in which your WebPart has been added? Or do you want to add the webpart to a specific zone? Or do you want to get a collection of all ZoneID's on the current page in order to do a check so you can add your WebPart?

Assuming that mg is a SPLimitedWebPartManager:

string zoneId = mgr.GetZoneID(mgr.WebParts["ControllerID"])

Will get the ZoneID of a WebPart that is already inserted into the page.

To insert a web part into a specific Web Part Zone:

mgr.AddWebPart(AnotherWP, targetZoneId, 1);

	Nope, that returns null as well, as the webpart is not yet added to the zone. – Hna0002 Nov 4 '11 at 17:15
	Hahahah yeah, it needs to be in a Zone to get the zone that way! – GavinB Nov 8 '11 at 20:02
	in this code: string zoneId = mgr.GetZoneID(mgr.WebParts["ControllerID"]) What is exactly ControllerID? – SP Dev Mar 13 at 12:56
