    In Wss 3.0, Unable to add selected web part(s). Cannot import WebPart1

    Reply Quote
     Hi,

    I am new to WSS 3.0 but i worked in WSS 2.0. Created some basic web parts including connectable web parts.

    I created a simple "Hello World" web part. I created a Strong Key for that and compiled it. After that i copied that dll into "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\bin\"  folder. I coiped that "WebPart1.webpart" file into "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wppack\"  folder. I have added the SafeControl Information with its public key. And opened the Sharepoint Site and try to see web part collections list. But it doen't show my web part. So i "Browse" the "WebPart1.webpart" file from my source page and try to import the web part at that time i am facing "Unable to add selected web part(s). Cannot import WebPart1" issue.

    After that i pasted the dll in "C:\Prog Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\ISAPI" folder and try to pull the web part to my site. Eventhough i am facing the same issue.

    Now i registered the dll in "GACUTIL", but no use.

    I am using the below mentioned configuration.

    Windows Server 2003 Prof Edition.

    Visual Studion 2005.

    WSS 3.0

    Sql Server 2005 Management Studio.

    Config DB is in MS##EE

    Content Db is in SQLEXPRESS.

     

    Any one please help.

     

    Regards,

    B.N.Prabhu.

    Hi,

    In WSS 3.0 , you can add web part without having to create *.webpart or *.dwp first. WSS 3.0 will do it for you on the fly. I saw some missing action from your steps,

     1. Deploy *.dll to bin of web directory (done)
     2. Add SafeControl to web.config of the web (done)
     3. Add web part to web part collection <=== (not done)
     4. Try to add web part to page <== error

    To add web part to web part collection you need go to "Site Action" | "All Site Settings". Then go to web part collection gallery. Or "**_catalogs/wp/Forms/AllItems.aspx" for your short cut. (replace ** with url of SharePoint site).
