SharePoint Connections Talk on Visual Studio 2005 extensions for SharePoint

  • Article

I did my first public talk on SharePoint today :-) I'm here at the SharePoint Connections Spring 2008 conference. My talk was mostly a long demo showing how to use the Visual Studio 2005 extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, v1.1. The demo outline is:

  • Build a Content Type
  • Build a List Definition
  • Build an Event Receiver
  • Build a Template
  • Build a Custom Action
  • Build a Web Part
  • Use them all in a SharePoint Site
  • Show WSP View in Visual Studio
  • Show SP Solution Generator

Here's what the Visual Studio 2005 Solution Explorer looks like after the demo is complete.

I've attached the PPT of the talk, the Demo Script and the few starter files required. I'll try to get a video recording of the talk in the next week or two.
