Chapter 8. Creating Web PartsWeb parts are based on ASP.NET web controls, but are otherwise fairly new. For that reason, the development tools for web parts are scattered across a number of different downloads. That makes developing web parts more confusing than it really should be. I try to address this problem by breaking my discussion of web parts into two chapters:
You can develop web parts in Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#. Both chapters show sample code in Visual Basic .NET because that is currently the most popular language. Equivalent Visual C# samples are available at http://usingsharepoint.com/samples/Ch08CS.aspx and Ch09CS.aspx . |
