Introduction to Web Parts for Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies: This module explains the concepts behind Web Parts, which are a type of ASP.NET server control. Unlike standard ASP.NET controls, which are added to Web form pages by programmers at design time, Web Parts are added to Web Part Zones on Web Part Pages by users at run time.
Module 2: Adding Web Parts to Pages: This module explains how to add Web Parts to pages. Web Parts are componentized Web page elements that allow developers to create modular Web sites. Actions such as closing and deleting Web Parts will be explained in detail. This unit also introduces how to modify Web Part Pages and set Web Part properties.
Module 3: Using Web Part Templates in Visual Studio .NET: This module explains how to use Web Part templates in Visual Studio .NET. Since Web Parts are ASP.NET custom controls, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET provides an excellent environment for creating and debugging Web Parts. This unit also introduces the Visual Studio .NET Web Part Library templates for both C# and Visual Basic .NET.
Module 4: Web Parts as ASP.NET Custom Controls: Creating Web Parts is a variation on the process of creating ASP.NET custom controls. To create effective Web Parts, it is important to understand the similarities and differences between Web Parts and other ASP.NET custom controls.
Module 5: Connecting Web Parts: This module explains how to connect Web Parts. The Web Part infrastructure provides rich support for communication between Web Parts. Developers can use standard interfaces to create Web Parts that can exchange information with each other.
Module 6: Packaging and Deploying Web Parts: This module explains how to package and deploy Web Parts using administrative tools provided with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services.
Module 7: Web Part Security: Microsoft ASP.NET 1.1 enables Web applications to operate in a partially trusted environment. This module describes how Windows SharePoint Services implements custom security permissions and policy files.
Module 8: Exploring the Windows SharePoint Services Object Model: In this module, you will use Visual Studio .NET to program the Windows SharePoint Services object model, which is integrated with Microsoft ASP.NET. This enables developers to program the Windows SharePoint Services object model in a Microsoft Visual Studio .NET environment to customize Web Parts for use in a Windows SharePoint Services deployment.
Module 9: Developing Web Parts Using Microsoft FrontPage 2003: This module explains how to modify and present live data from a range of sources, including XML, to build rich interactive data-driven Web sites using Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003.
