This is a repost from the msdn forums that got no good results. In VSeWSS 1.3 on VS 2008, the "Attach to IIS Worker Processes" seems to always be grayed out (Build -> Quick Deploy Solution). This forces me to run iisapp from the command line, note the PID of my w3wp process, hit Ctrl-Alt-P in VS to bring up the Attach to Process dialog...

We are developing a Sharepoint solution using Visual Studio 2008 Extensions for SharePoint Svcs 1.3. Some of the developers have had a "Quick Deploy" and a "Package" menu option, some of the developers have never had it. Currently nobody has it. We are wondering if there is a Guid in the project file that causes this to be available. ...

I recently upgraded my SharePoint development machine to VSeWSS 1.3 and have noticed a behavior that I didn't think existed before. I have two custom web parts that use several common assemblies, and both will live in the same site. I'm trying to create a third 'common' web part that copies these files to the Bin folder and adds safe con...
Hi all I created a utility library for my Sharepoint WebParts. Now when I reference this library from my WebPart project, it compiles fine, but the library is not included in the .wsp package. This means the library assembly is not deployed to the target system, causign the WebPart to fail. Is there any way to fix this? I am using Visu...

Currently I have a .NET setup that many workings devs have (VS 2008, SQL SRVR 2008, etc). However, the current client requires webparts to be built on a SharePoint 2003 (it is gov't, so they don't upgrade before doing MASSIVE testing). I have not developed on SharePoint 2003 and understand that I can only directly create create webpart...
