I've just started reading chapter 17 (Portal Frameworks and Web Parts) and there is some code on p643 that produces an error :

WebPartManager1.SupportedDisplayModes(DropDownList 1.SelectedValue.ToString());

Error : 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPartManager .SupportedDisplayModes' is a 'property' but is used like a 'method'

Can anybody help?

try this


 protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        switch (DropDownList1.SelectedValue)
        {
            case "Browse":
                Webpartmanager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.BrowseDisplayMode;
                break;
            case "Design":
                Webpartmanager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.DesignDisplayMode;
                break;
            case "Edit":
                Webpartmanager1.DisplayMode=WebPartManager.EditDis playMode;
                break;
            case "Catalog":
                Webpartmanager1.DisplayMode = WebPartManager.CatalogDisplayMode;
                break;

        }
