provision a webpart

Question

how do you provision a webpart in sharepoint?

Answer 1

I guess you would like to provision a .webpart file. You do that through a <module> element in a feature. Then you add your webpart dll to the BIN folder through a wsp solution manifest and the last thing not to forget is to register the webpart a a safecontrol. Using wsp builder will make this process much smoother.
