I'm developing a custom ASP.Net WebPart using the WebPartManager and I'm creating a custom EditorPart too. For its EditorPart.ApplyChanges method I set the return value to false whenever there is an error. In the EditorZone I get a standard error message indicating that some error happened to the editor, but I want to change that message. Is that possible? Something like... public override bool ApplyChanges() { try { // save properties return true; } catch(Exception ex) { ErrorMessage = ex.Message; // is there any similar property I can fill? return false; } }
