"Send data to this consumer";
cz1.ConnectToProviderInstructionText =
"Choose a provider connection point";
cz1.ConnectToProviderText =
"Select a provider for the consumer to connect with";
cz1.ConnectToProviderTitle =
"Get data from this provider";
cz1.ConsumersInstructionText =
"WebPart controls that receive data from providers";
cz1.ConsumersTitle = "Consumer Controls";
cz1.GetFromText = "Receive from";
cz1.GetText = "Retrieve";
cz1.HeaderText =
"Create and Manage Connections";
cz1.InstructionText =
"Manage connections for the selected WebPart control";
cz1.InstructionTitle =
"Manage connections for consumers or providers";

"No connections exist. Click the above link to create "
