Thanks for the solution.

I would recommend more unified way of loading web parts gallery (without string hardcoding):
var webPartsGallery = rootWeb.GetCatalog(SPListTemplateType.WebPartCatalog);

It works without problems for me.

Hi,

if you change
var wpGallery = rootWeb.Lists["Web Part Gallery"];
into
var wpGallery = rootWeb.GetList(“/_catalogs/wp”);

It will work in other languages

@Perry – Thanks for bringing this up. The ‘Cast’ method is an extension method located in the System.Linq.Enumerable class. You will need to include a using statement for the System.Linq namespace. Extension methods can be a little tricky to track down.

What namespaces are required?

I can’t figure out what namespace is required to solve the error:

Error 1 ‘Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPElementDefinitionCollection’ does not contain a definition for ‘Cast’ and no extension method ‘Cast’ accepting a first argument of type ‘Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPElementDefinitionCollection’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
