Hi anyone got any tips on what I need to do to be able to devlop sharepoint
solutions on my Windows XP machine.

I have copied some DLL:s in to the Assembly. Is there anything more?

You only need the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll so that you can reference it in
your Web Part Library.

You can't develop web parts or SharePoint "solutions" directly on a XP
machine since you need the SharePoint dll which only runs under Win 2003.
To develop from XP, either use Virtual PC to create a Win2003 virtual
machine and develop there or use Remote Desktop to access a Win2003 server
with SharePoint installed.

Note that you can do remote programming with SharePoint from XP via web
services and other techniques, but that's not what I think you're asking
about.

Hi

Programming webparts and webservices I have already done. What I now want to
do is to Create a windows console application.

The program is supposed to get all sites in the site directory so that I can
create seperate backups of them. This I can use webservices for to, but I
would like to access the API directly.

Can I reference the correct dll:s or asseblys remotly perhaps?

Magnus,
You cannot access the DLLs remotely. The web services were implemented
for this very purpose. To access the API directly you code must run on the
server.

You can do Web Part development locally but deployment and testing must be
done on a full blown SharePoint server. Otherwise, you will need to turn to
the Web Services.

I know this is disgustingly low-tech, but you can get all sites in the site
directory and take backups using nothing more than Windows Scripting Host.

On the SharePoint server, have WSH execute stsadm.exe -o enumsites -url
<server> and capture the XML-formatted standard output. Then, create a
MSXML2.DOMDocument object, load it with the enumsites output, iterate through
each DocumentElement child node, and run stsadm.exe -o backup -url <server>
-filename <backup file name> for each one.

You can find an example of this at:
