Examples

The following code example shows a locally defined AddWebPart method that adds a Web Part and then modifies it by calling the AddWebPart and SaveWebPart methods of the Web Part Pages service through a proxy. This code example and the proxy are part of a larger example provided for the Web Part Pages service.
