I am using the following code to hide all WebParts in a page.

string siteUrl = "http://site";
SPSite site = new SPSite(siteUrl);
SPWeb web;
web = site.RootWeb;
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SPLimitedWebPartManager mgr = null;
mgr = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager("pages/test.aspx", System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.User);
mgr.Web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
foreach (System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart wp in mgr.WebParts)
        {
            wp.Hidden = true;
            mgr.SaveChanges(wp);
        }
web.Dispose();
site.Dispose();

Test Page has a Content Editor WebPart, Few List View WebParts and a Custom Webparts. Code runs without any errors but does not hide the Content Editor WebPart and Custom Webpart.

I am running this code in a Sharepoint 2010 installation. Any ideas?

Note:

  1. I am not able to hide them using Web Interface as well.
  2. I am able to change other properties like Title using code and it works perfectly fine for all thr Web Parts.
  3. This code works if the user is given Full Permission for the whole site (I am expecting it to work when the user is given contribute permission for the page alone)This code used to work in MOSS 2007 and the user was given contribute permission for this page alone.

  • not related to question, but remember to dispose your SPSite and your SPLimitedWebPartManager :-) – Anders Rask May 3 '11 at 11:24
  • and possibly set "web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;"? – Mauro May 3 '11 at 12:04
  • @Anders I was about to add a disclaimer about it ;-) This is not the final code. Its a sample from the main module. – Shoban May 3 '11 at 12:20
  • @Mauro we have that line of code in our main module. – Shoban May 3 '11 at 12:43
  • @Mauro and hopefully set it back to true in a try/finally? – Anders Rask May 3 '11 at 13:19

Finaly got it working. Had to change Web Part Security to fix it. Thanks for the help.

Maybe you're looking for AllowHide property? :)

Update: I was able to hide a ContentEditorWebPart in my SharePoint 2010 environment. Maybe this may help you, here is the full list of properties of the webpart.

And here is the PowerShell code I used (it's actually similar to yours C#, I don't see any difference, as soon PowerShell simply calls SharePoint object model):

$w = Get-SPWeb http://localhost
$wpm = $w.GetLimitedWebPartManager("default.aspx", [System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::User);

$wpm.WebParts[3].Hidden = $true
$wpm.SaveChanges($wpm.Webparts[3]);

  • AllowHide is set as True. I did this when I added the WebPart manually. Let me check this via code as well. I am breaking my head with this issue for the past 2 days. :-) Thanks – Shoban May 3 '11 at 11:20
  • Update : Just for the heck of it I set this property via code and then hid the WebPart but it does not work :( – Shoban May 3 '11 at 11:21
  • I've just hidden ContentEditorWebPart in my own SharePoint 2010 environment, using your code. I think, something is wrong with your webpart. Could you please paste here all the properties values (you can grab them from PowerShell, for example)? Or maybe try to add a blank new ContentEditorWebPart and try to hide it? – Andrey Markeev May 3 '11 at 11:30
  • I updated my answer with full list of properties of my webpart. Hope this will help you! – Andrey Markeev May 3 '11 at 11:45
  • Thanks omlin I am going to try this... Did the user have full permission for the site or just the page? – Shoban May 3 '11 at 11:55

Are you running this code on a Publishing Site? Try running it on a non-publishing site.

I wonder if it's related to check-in / versioning of publishing pages.
