EktronCatalogPart Server Control
When placed inside a Microsoft CatalogZone, the EktronCatalogPart allows users to choose the type of Ektron CMS400.NET control that is added to a WebPartZone. It also allows a developer to predefine content for each control. This way, a site user does not see an empty WebPartZone after adding a control. If content is not defined for a control, the site user can then edit the EktronWebPartZone in which the control is placed.
Below is an example of what the EktronCatalogPart looks like when it is placed in Microsoft CatalogZone.
