10 DIY SharePoint Web Parts
10 DIY SharePoint Web Parts is a series of postings containing examples of SharePoint WebParts that anybody can build all by themselves. These examples will require the use of the highly acclaimed RSSBus SharePoint WebPart.
The RSSBus SharePoint Web Part isn’t like most others – it cannot be called a uni-tasker. It is the most exciting thing I’ve had the pleasure to work with in quite a while... its just a thing of beauty.
What does it do? It lets you expose data to SharePoint (WSS or MOSS) from just about anywhere.
The power comes when you use the “Connectors” – these Connectors get data from all sorts of data sources like web services, Excel documents, CRM systems, databases, email and other Internet servers, office applications, and tons more. It does any of hundreds of tasks that you direct it to do, and is completely customizable. It is literally hundreds of WebParts in one.
