How to add a content editor web part to a SharePoint page

Here is some code to add a content editor web part to a page. So if you are creating a page in code (like during feature activation), then you put a content editor web part on the page.

Setting the InnerText (contentXMLElement.InnerText = “”;) will set the text in the content editor, incase you want something to be there by default.  User HTML.

using (SPWeb webSite = SPContext.Current.Site.OpenWeb(SiteToOpen))
{
using (SPLimitedWebPartManager mgr = webSite.GetFile(“default.aspx”).GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.Shared))
{
if (mgr != null)
{
# region AddNewLink

ContentEditorWebPart cewp = new ContentEditorWebPart();
cewp.AllowClose = false;
cewp.AllowEdit = false;
cewp.AllowHide = false;
cewp.AllowMinimize = false;
cewp.ID = “ContentEditorWP”;
cewp.Title = “Content Editor Web Part”;
cewp.ChromeType = PartChromeType.None;

//Add content to the content editor web part
XmlDocument addNewXMLDoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement contentXMLElement = addNewXMLDoc.CreateElement(“Root”);
contentXMLElement.InnerText = “”;
cewp.Content = contentXMLElement;
cewp.Content.InnerText = contentXMLElement.InnerText;

// add the web part.
// first argument: web part object
// second argument: zone
// third argument: index (location within the zone)
mgr.AddWebPart(cewp,”left”, 0);

# endregion
