Setup Properties

Enforce Post Input

When enabled, forces any information to be passed into the page as a post request versus a get request. This disables the ability to add ?Parameter=Value to the page.

No Items Found XML

Specify the XML to display if no items are returned.

Example:

<NewDataSet/>

Output As XML Only

When this property is enabled, only the web part contents will be displayed within a web part page, preventing anything else from showing on the page. After this feature is enabled, you will need to add "?version=coras" or "?OverrideXML=true" to the URL in order to modify the web part properties.

Output XML Web Part Name

Enter the OXMLWPName that must be called if you want this web part to run. If ,?/&OXMLWPName=THISPROPERTY is not found in the URL or Post to this page, the web part will not run. Use this in combination with the Output As XML Only property (above).

Default:                %Auto%

Example:             MyWebPart

Page Call:            default.aspx?OXMLWPName=MyWebPart

PassThrough XML

Use this property to pass page parameters onto the page specified in the URL To XML property. This supports the Common Use Variables stated at the beginning of this help topic. You must encode the < and > symbol when using the parameters (e.g., < &lt; and > &gt;).

Example:

                <PassThrough>

                                <Pass>

                                                <PTType>get</PTType>

                                                <PTRequest>SearchString</PTRequest>

                                                <PTName>SearchString</PTName>

                                                <PTDefault>[Me]</PTDefault>

                                </Pass>

</PassThrough>
