Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to create site definitions and configurations to provide usercreatable site templates. You then learned how to attach features before or after deployment. These techniques should give you the basic skills you need to begin aggregating the WSS components you develop into prepackaged business solutions.

This chapter also examined working with resource files in Visual Studio to provide an effective approach for localizing WSS components. As you have seen, WSS 3.0 has added powerful support for localizing various types of resources that can facilitate developing business solutions that target international markets. The chapter ended by showing you how to package your components for deployment by using solution packages and language packs. That now brings us to our final chapter on security.
