ASP.NET Syntax   ASP.NET Configuration Sections

---

Allows you to specify a Web Parts personalization provider, set personalization authorizations, and add custom classes that extend the WebPartTransformer class for use by Web Parts connections.

<webParts
   enableExport = "true | false">
   <personalization...>...</personalization>
   <transformers>...</transformers >
</webParts>

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attribute	Description
enableExport	Optional Boolean attribute. Enables the export of control data to an XML description file. The default value is false.

Element	Description
personalization	Optional element. Specifies the Web Parts personalization provider and sets Web Parts personalization authorizations.
transformers	Optional element. Defines a collection of TransformerInfo objects.

Element	Description
configuration	The required root element in every configuration file used by the common language runtime and .NET Framework applications.
system.web	Specifies the root element for the ASP.NET configuration settings in a configuration file. Contains configuration elements that configure ASP.NET Web applications and control how the applications behave.

The following default webParts element is configured in the root Web.config file in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

<webParts>
   <personalization>
      <providers>
         <add connectionStringName = "LocalSqlServer"
            name = "AspNetSqlPersonalizationProvider"
            type = "System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.SqlPersonalizationProvider, System.Web,
               Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
      </providers>
      <authorization>
         <deny users = "*" verbs = "enterSharedScope" />
         <allow users = "*" verbs = "modifyState" />
      </authorization>
   </personalization>

   <transformers>
      <add name = "RowToFieldTransformer"
         type = "System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.RowToFieldTransformer" />
      <add name = "RowToParametersTransformer"
         type = "System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.RowToParametersTransformer" />
   </transformers>
</webParts>

The following example shows how to specify values declaratively for the webParts section.

<webParts>
   <personalization defaultProvider = "AspNetSqlPersonalizationProvider">
      <providers>
         <add name = "AspNetSqlPersonalizationProvider"
            type = "System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.SqlPersonalizationProvider"
            connectionStringName = "LocalSqlServer" applicationName = "/" />
      </providers>
      <authorization>
         <deny users = "*" verbs = "enterSharedScope" />
         <allow users = "*" verbs = "modifyState" />
      </authorization>
   </personalization>
</webParts>

Providers may only be defined at the application level.
