The Oracle WebCenter Portlet Toolkit for .NET provides
ease-of-use features for authoring Oracle WebCenter Interaction portlets.
All Oracle WebCenter Interaction Development Kit (IDK) features are
accessible through the Oracle WebCenter Portlet Toolkit for .NET,
and some are much simpler to use, requiring only a single line of
