WebParts |
|
|
I am looking into sharepoint, I know very little about it. I know you can
design your own web parts which are essentially custom controls. I am OK
developing custom control but for speedy development sometimes user controls
are easier. Is there any way of creating web parts from them. I have seen
some stuff in ASP.NET v2 where you have webpart zones etc. Can this be used
specically with sharepoint as opposed to an aspx page using portal style web
parts. I am really new to this so I may be misunderstanding it! |

Hi Chris,
I'm exactly where you're at, except maybe a few months down the road :)
We purchase Microsoft's Enterprise License, and with that we got
Sharepoint Portal Server 2003, which we want to use for our Intranet.
Me being the web programmer on staff I'm now faced with learning how to
do all this, plus write custom content.
Here's what I've learned ...
To write web parts you'll need to learn ASP.Net Framework, which with
that means learning either VB.Net or C#.Net. I'm currently getting
books on both VB.Net and C#.Net to start learning both, and I'll stick
with one at some point. After I get this foundation down I'll start
working this into ASP.Net pages then from there work on getting these
added to SPS as web parts.
Everything is built on everything else, and the SPS Web Parts are
upstream quite abit. I also watched a neat presentation on using
Frontpage 2003 with SPS - http://tinyurl.com/b25sr - and it looks like
I can also use FP2003 to create some of the content I was planning on
using Web Parts for. It's not as simple since this is based on page
and not a webpart that users can add easily, but still it's one way of
getting dynamic content into SPS.
For me, since we have lots of vouchers from Microsoft with our
Enterprise License Agreement I'm planning on taking a class on
Sharepoint management (Course 2014) soon, and while doing this I'm
getting some books to start working with VB.Net and C#.Net on the side.
I've been a web programmer for about 10 years now with my current
forte being ColdFusion and PHP, but Microsoft's methodology of doing
websites is much different and IMO WAY overcomplicated -- but since our
business is focused on Microsoft's methods this is the route I have to
go.
Hope this helps -- and if you'd like copies of all the info and links
I've collected thus far (since we seem to be in the same boat), send me
an email or reply back in NG.
