Hi Mikhail,

I have decorated my public string property with the following attributes:

[WebBrowsable(false)]
[WebPartStorage(Storage.Personal)]
[Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.User)]

The purpose is to store some information specific to user only through code( therefore WebBrowsable is false).

However, i dont see the above property working.

In general I would not recommend that, because security levels are made for a reason. However you may be able to save the properties if you impersonate another account. A frequently used solution is to use RunWithElevatedPriveleges, here an example: http://www.mikhaildikov.com/2007/07/runwithelevatedprivileges-watch-out-for.html

Ozgur,

How do you declare the [Personalizable] attribute for your custom properties?

The default value is PersonalizationScope.Shared, so if you want to switch the personalization scope to User you need to declare them with:

[Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.User)]

Hi,
I want to ask a question about webpart property.
I have a webpart, and I want to user personalize webpart property without using tool pane.
(property scope is user)

I can change this property value in run time, but I dont know how to personalize this changes ?
That is, the changes in runtime affect all users, not current user.

Do you have any idea?
