Last week at the SharePoint Advisor Summit in Phoenix, Tony Bierman showed off a couple of great examples for authoring features and Web Parts using VS.NET 2005. He has posted the slides and the sample solution on the SharePoint Solutions blog. Great work Tony.
Specifically, the solution illustrates:
- Creating and deploying a WSS Solution
- Using makecab.exe and directive files (DDF) to create WSS Solutions distributable
- Using MSBuild scripts to iteratively develop and deploy WSS Solutions from Visual Studio
- Declaring WSS Features including:
- ContentType
- ContentTypeBinding
- Control
- Field
- CustomAction
- CustomActionGroup
- Module
- ListTemplate
- ListInstance
- Receivers
- Workflow
- Programattically associating a workflow with a WSS v3 List

- Controlling ASP.NET 2.0 web part serialization through the use of type converters
- Creating and associating custom EditorParts with ASP.NET 2.0 web parts
- Dynamically loading user controls into a web part from the WSS v3 Control Templates (_controltemplates) path at runtime
- Associating the SPDataSource object with a WSS v3 List
- Binding a WSS v3 List to the SPGridView
- Binding the SPTreeView to a hierarchical data source
- Using the SPSiteDataQuery object for cross-site queries of WSS v3 Lists
- Implementing Web Part connections in ASP.NET 2.0
