Greetings, SharePoint Developers!

Which SDK do I need to download?
If you are only writing code that utilizes the Windows SharePoint Services platform, you can download the WSS SDK. However, if you want the superset of all documentation and samples, you should install the MOSS SDK, and then you’ll get all the platform information as well. You don’t need to download both, but you will need to uninstall all previous versions before installing.
Note The SDK 1.5 downloads are full releases that include all previous tools and documentation.
What’s New in this release?
The SDK updates in 1.5 include:
- New version of the Microsoft Business Data Catalog Definition Editor tool
-
- Bug fixes for field truncation issues and parameter limits.
