About Content Query

Hi Everyone,


             Content Query:

                                        We can use a Content Query control to link to pages or other items that are displayed based on a query that you design. For example, if you are presenting articles in an online news site, you could add a Content Query control to your site's Welcome Page layout so that new articles are highlighted on that page. You can build complex queries by using the Content Query field control. For example, you can specify which sites in your site collection to query, which lists to use, and what audience to target. You can also filter queries based on lists or libraries metadata.

We can add a Content Query control to a layout page in two ways:

·      We can add it directly to the layout page and configure it. When you do this, any page that uses the layout page will display the results of the query.

·       We can add it as a Web Part to a Web Part zone. When you do this, authors can modify the query or delete the Content Query control.
