Abstract
A Web Part connection runtime framework provides the architecture for Web Parts to connect and pass data between each other. The runtime framework provides a series of interfaces that a Web Part can implement to send or receive information from other connected Web Parts. The interfaces provided by the runtime framework allow for the connection of Web Parts on a server or client. A first Web Part is retrieved and connected to a second Web Part in response to a user selecting information to be passed from the first Web Part to the second Web Part. Subroutines of the connected Web Parts are fired signaling the Web Parts to pass data from one to another. Once the data is passed, the Web Part receiving data can be rendered while containing the passed data on the server or the client.
