SharePoint joke of the day
Did you hear that one about the IWebPartTable interface?
Once there was an interface that Microsoft and a lot of MVP's and best practice guys tell you to use for connecting web parts to one another. It was called the IWebPartTable interface. And than one day when somebody actually created a webpart that consumes that specific interface he found out that none of the Microsoft SharePoint 2007 list web parts actualy implement the interface. Woohoo.... this is really funny... use this interface to make shure you CAN'T connect to the built in list view web parts! Great laugh! Best joke ever!
You can find a great tutorial on how to create a useless IWebPartTable connection consumer over here. If you really don't know how to waste your time this is a great read.
(very big sigh)

P.S. If you do like to connect to list view web parts... implement the so called 'obsolete' IListConsumer.
