I have created a custom webpart.

I want to get that webpart and add it to my custom application page using code. How can I get it?

Answer 1

You can get all the Web Parts on a specific site by accessing the Web Part Gallery List.
For example:

SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPList list = web.Lists["Web Part Gallery"];
foreach(SPListItem item in list.Items)
{
  // do something
}
