Sharepoint: Developing Web Parts with ICellConsumer Interface

 
Introduction

A Web Part developed using ICellConsumer interface connects to a Web Part developed using ICellProvider or IRowProvider interface. ICellConsumer interface should only be used to consume a single value from a Web Part developed using ICellProvider or IRowProvider interface. There is no transformer available when ICellConsumer interface Web Part connects with ICellProvider Web Part. It is a direct connection between the provider and consumer Web Parts. Connecting the ICellConsumer interface with IRowProvider interface, a transformer will display automatically allowing the user to map the column in row to appropriate cell. In this scenario, the end user will do the mapping rather than the consumer Web Part.
