CQWP - how to add custom toolpart property

i have a usercontrol with a few dropdownlist....n i am using that usercontrol in few pages and depending on pages those dropdownlist  can be enabled mode or disabled mode.

so i created a property:

private string _readOnly;
        public string ReadOnly
        { 
         set {
                if (value == "true")
                {
                    ddlOTime.Enabled = false;
                }
             }
        }

Now i am accessing in HTML as

<uc3:OpenTime ID="OpenTime1" OTime='<%#Bind("OpeningTime")%>' ReadOnly="true" runat="server" />

it seems to work.

Just curious know that am i going in right direction or any better approach is available?

Thanks

I am customizing the XSLT for the core results webpart to give the user the option to sort search results by a certain managed property. There are several managed properties that I am listing on the search results page, and when the user clicks one, it should sort the results by that property.

In MOSS 2007, you could use the "v=property" parameter in the URL to define the sort order, but this doesn't seem to work anymore in SharePoint 2010. Are there any ideas on how to accomplish this?

I am not able to set the custom property of the web part on page load.

It gives me exception if i try to get or set that property but i can still access other inbuilt property of the web part and can display them on the page.

I am using sharepoint designer and MOSS 2007.

Dear All,

In Property Panel of a rehosted designer, I want a property (InArgument) of a custom NativeActivity to be read-only. Is it possible to do that? I have tried to use ReadOnlyAttribute, but the property become vanished.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

As the title suggests, I have an object to hold some specific state information in my web application - I pass it back & forward between pages by making it a property of a basepage which works fine, but I lose it on postback.

Is there any way to persist this property without manually adding & reading it again from viewstate?

Thanks
