WebParts
A little obscure fact about WebPart Connections. If you are writing a WebPart that is a Provider as well as a Consumer it is better to give your ConnectionPoint's unique Ids. Infact if you have multple Providers on the same WebPartPage the connections wont work unless each ConnectionPoint like so [ConnectionProvider("Displa... "ConnectionPointId")]public IWebPartField ConnectionInterface(){return this;} Technorati tags: MOSS, WebParts, Connections, ConnectionPoint Ids Cross-posted from tariqayad.com ......
Ever want to use a control that would allow you to choose users in a WebPart. I needed to today, and came across the People Editor control for MOSS. Ishai Sagi has a good post on its usage tags: SharePoint, People Lookup, WebParts, MOSS Cross-posted from tariqayad.com ......
When debugging WebParts not knowing which w3wp process to attatch to has always bugged me. Thankfully ASPalliance has this article to show you how to identify the w3wp process for an app pool. The gist of it is. Shipping with Windows 2003 is a vbscript named iisapp.vbs. running "cscript iisapp.vbs" from the command prompt displays list of w3wp processes running, its process id, and the app pool it belogns to. tags: SharePoint, IIS6, Windows 2003, WebParts, Debugging, Application Pool, Attatching ......
Its wierd, and I cant make head or tail of it. I was writing a webpart today, and I was maintaining a generic stack collection which I wanted to place in the session. What is wierd is that if i were to add object of type Stack <T> to the session, SharePoint says an unrecoverable error has occurred. The moment I changed the stack from a generic to a plain old .NET 1.1 non-generic Stack the error was gone. tags: SharePoint, WebParts, Generics, Session Cross-posted from tariqayad.com ......

Breadcrumbs for SharePoint has become a very popular WebPart, amongst developers and WebPart vendors. I've seen quite a few of these and most of them have one inherrent problem. From the ones I've seen it appears that most of the developers assumed that if a user visiting a site somewhere down the site hierarchy they naturually had rights to the parentwebs. This assumption is wrong, and such an assumption should not be made because its not unusual where you would want to give rights to specific sites ......

Yes its true, take a look at any of the default WebParts or ListViews in SharePoint and you can learn a thing or 2. For instance recently I wanted to find all the related items in an issues List. I was stumped until I took a look at the CAML in the default Issue Item Edit form, which goes something like this <Where> <And> <Eq> <FieldRef Name="IsCurrent"/> <Value Type="Boolean">1</Val... <And> <Neq> <FieldRef Name="IssueID"/> <Value ......
Maurice shares some thoughts on what most probably might be with the next Version of SharePoint. He also mentions vaguely the nuance of developing and deploying WebParts. The fact is SharePoint v Next will built on the next version of Asp.net. I am sure that most of you would agree that WSS is today what it is because of Asp.net. The move up from SPS 2001 or STS to SharePoint 2003 was phenomenal. All that productivity capabilities just opened up with the 2003 versions. I suspect that we can look ......
I am not sure if this has been already done, but I think it’s about high time someone started consolidating a list of tools that are out for SharePoint. I am thinking of something similar to the SharpToolbox. Of course the list will not be huge like the CSharp list at SharpToolbox, but I think we’ve got enough to go around. So let me start it off by providing the ones I know, you guys can contribute by adding the ones you know to the comments system of this post, and I will update the ......

Patrick's points to Sig Webber's blog that shows you different possibilities with the default WebParts and a little "frontpage"ing.
He has got a neat set of WebParts that I should checkout on the bottom right of the page.
Btw this is the most blog-like "blog running on Sharepoint" I have seen

Deploying WebParts after you make a build is a bit of a hassle especially because you have to leave you IDE to do a couple of things. The basic process is you need to 1. Compile 2. Install the assembly to the GAC 3. Copy assembly to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bin 4. Recycle the MS SharePoint default app pool - to invoke the new instance of the assembly -> Typically you will have to switch between VS.NET, InetMgr, and the command prompt. So here’s what I do. 1. My WebPart projects have their default ......
Paschal has a post at dotnetweblogs on a couple ASP.NET lessons learnt. Just a note to SPS Developers. Dont you think this does not apply to you. One thing you should learn if WebParts are your game, pay close attention to anything that happens in the ASP.NET Custom Server control arena, because they both share the same bloodline. I took a different approach with regard to sharing SPS lessons learnt. What i did was Got the team to put up a SharePoint Social Meeting workspace. Created tab pages for ......
