I am using SharePoint server 2007 in Windows 2008 Server 64 bit. I am
trying to delete the 'unnecessary' web parts from the gallery. I have a
console application which creates an SPSite object pointing to the root site,
calls
parentSite.GetCatalog(SPListTemplateType.WebPartCatalog);
to return the SPList of web parts in gallery and calls the delete on
those individual web parts. The program runs fine, I can see that the deleted
web parts are no longer listed in the Add Web Parts --Web Page Dialog. But
when I click the Advanced Web Part Gallery and Options, "Add Web Part" pane
come up. In this pane there are three web part collections: Closed Web Parts,
Home Gallery
and Server Gallery. Interesting thing is all the web parts, including the
deleted
one can be added from thr Home Gallery. Why is it so ?
I did a reset of IIS after running the program.
Is there anything that I am missing.
With Regards
Ajit
