I've built a web part for Sharepoint that retrieves data from an external service. I'd like to display the items in a way that's UI-compatible with Sharepoint (fits in with its surroundings.) I'm aware of the "DataFormWebPart" but was unable to get one working properly. It requires a valid DataSource and I was unable to build one from...

Web parts seem to be used extensively in Sharepoint related development, but examples of using them in asp.net webforms applications are few and far between. I'm implementing a domain specific portal framework and like the "widgetlike" functionality in iGoogle or pageflakes and would like to get that kind of feature in my application. ...
This is a question about performance testing specific to SharePoint web parts and controls (although standard ASP.NET methods would be applicable as well). I'm wondering what are some good techniques, considering factors such as: caching (what and when should you cache?) load balanced servers (storing state) interaction with other part...
So, this is what we want to do: We want to have a generic web part with a custom frame around it and then dynamically load other web parts (frameless) inside it. Would this at all be possible you think? A bit like Jan Tielens SmartPart, only not for ASP.Net User Controls, but for other Web parts... ;) Edit: We've been able to do this no...

I inherited an Asp.Net app that uses ASP.Net membership services. I am trying to add web parts with personalization to the site, and am getting a lot of errors. It looks like the tables generated by Aspnet_regsql.exe have been changed - probably copied at some point in the past using "select into" causing them to lose all their indexes...

Lately I've been doing a lot of custom styling in SharePoint by modifying the XSL used to display various web parts. Knowing what the actual XML looks like, including which elements have actual values, really helps when working in the XSL.

I recently upgraded the site to ASP.NET 3.5 SP1, but I am still unable to drag and drop web parts in non-IE browsers. How can I enable drag and dro...
