Chapter 29. Personalizing Web Parts
The heart of the Web Part Framework is personalization. When users interact with a website built with Web Parts, individual users can customize the website according to their personal preferences. They can pick and choose the Web Parts that they want to display in their pages, rearrange the layout of Web Parts to their hearts' desires, and they can customize the properties of particular Web Parts. This chapter leaps into the details of personalization. You learn how to enable users to personalize both Web Part pages and individual Web Parts. You also learn how to administer a Web Parts application by pruning stale personalization data. Finally, you learn how to create custom personalization providers. At the end of this chapter, we create both a custom query string personalization provider and an anonymous personalization provider. |
