I am making a web part where in design mode the web part shows a bunch of controls for editing the web part. When I hit a save button and save to the properties they do not persist across post back. If I set the properties up to be seen in the web part editor panel they persist. Is there some update command I need to run in the buttons on click event or some attribute I need to give my properties? |

The problem you will have is setting these properties, its very long winded if they aren't in the editor part. You will need to get the current SPFile, get the SPLimitedWebPartManager, retrieve the webpart from the collection, set properties and save.

Are you using a custom EditorPart? If so you need to call ApplyChanges() and SyncChanges().

Im not using a custom editorpart, i think.
The controls are in the webpart, they just only show up in DesignDisplayMode.
There is alot questions that need to be answered, including a large rich text box. So id rather have the controls in the main web part instead of in the editor bar. Similar to when you edit a content editor web part or something like that.

Ok I have this code so far. Im trying to access the property, I see I can get at the title of the webpart. How do I access my custom properties? I tried wp("propertyname"), that didnt work. I didnt see anything in the web parts object indicating how to get at it.
Dim site As SPSite = SPContext.Current.Site
Dim web As SPWeb = SPContext.Current.Web
Dim file As SPFile = SPContext.Current.File
Dim webMan As SPLimitedWebPartManager = file.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.Shared)
Dim wp As WebParts.WebPart = webMan.WebParts(Me.ID)

Cast the webpart object to your custom webpart class:
Dim myPart = CType(wp, <your webpart type>)
myPart.PropertyName = "some value";

Any idea why GetLimitedWebPartManager is returning null? I tried using it as web.GetlimitedWebpartManager and file.GetLimitedWebpartManger and both method return nothing. I debugged it and file is the correct file and was not null.
Dim site As SPSite = SPContext.Current.Site
Dim web As SPWeb = SPContext.Current.Web
Dim file As SPFile = SPContext.Current.File
Dim webMan As SPLimitedWebPartManager = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(SPContext.Current.File.Url, PersonalizationScope.Shared)
Dim wp As WebParts.WebPart = webMan.WebParts(Me.UniqueID)
Dim Wep As WebPart12 = CType(wp, WebPart12)

Nevermind I got it. It looks like you cant use SPContext.Current.Site if you want to use GetLimitedWebPartManager In case anyone is interested here is the working code.
Using site As SPSite = New SPSite("http://weburl/site")
Using web As SPWeb = site.OpenWeb
Dim file As SPFile = SPContext.Current.File
Using webMan As SPLimitedWebPartManager = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(SPContext.Current.File.Url, PersonalizationScope.Shared)
Dim wp As WebParts.WebPart = webMan.WebParts(Me.ID)
Dim Wep As WebPart12 = CType(wp, WebPart12)
Wep.pClassTitle = ClassTitle.Text
webMan.SaveChanges(wp)
End Using
file.Update()
End Using
End Using
