ASP.NET 2.0 and SharePoint WebParts
ASP.NET 2.0 has great features for WebParts built in. The next version of SharePoint will be based on ASP.NET 2.0 WebParts.
Mike Fitzmaurice has the roadmap for SharePoint and ASP.NET 2.0 WebParts, and what can be done now.
A short summary about what can be done now:
- don't install ASP.NET 2.0 on a WSS/SPS site before SP2 (WSS/SPS breaks!)
- ASP.NET 1.1 user controls can be SharePoint WebParts with SmartPart
- SharePoint WebParts written today will work in WSS v3 (together with ASP.NET 2.0 WebParts)
