VSLive2005 Webpart Developement
Paul Sheriff of PDSA gave a great session on building Web Parts with VS2005. Seems that most everything that Sharepoint offers with web parts, VS2005 makes even easier. VS2005 architecture for basic Web Part development flows like this…
- ASP.Net Web Page
- Webpart Manger Control(Manages Web Parts)
- Webpart Zone Control (These sit in Tables)
- Webpart(Just drag and drop your controls or user-controls)
- Editor Zone Control (allows customization of Web Parts)
Once I have had time to play, I will have more information posted on some realistic webpart examples. Also, there have been questions about web parts created in .Net 2.0 and how they will play with Sharepoint. I hear this will not be possible until Service Pack 2 for SharePoint. Check out Mike Fitzmaurice’s Blog. WSS will run .Net 2.0 Webparts but SPS will not even with SharePoint Service Pack 2.
