The Microsoft SharePoint team just posted (on their blog) some details about the Visual Studio 2010 Tools for SharePoint. Here’s a few bullet points from the TechEd EMEA briefing where this storied started, which outlines some of the features:
-
Server Explorer for SharePoint viewing Lists and other artifacts in SharePoint directly inside of Visual Studio
-
Windows SharePoint Services Project (WSP file) Import to create a new solution
-
Added a new web part project item and showed the Visual web part designer which loads a user control as a web part for SharePoint
-
Showed adding an event receiver for SharePoint and using the wizard to choose the event receiver and to just create a source file with that event receiver.
-
Added an ASPX workflow initiation form to a workflow project and showed how this workflow initiation form has designer capability
-
Showed the packaging explorer and the packaging editor which lets you structure the SharePoint features and WSP file that is created
If you are not already subscribed to their blog (Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog), you should definitely do so. It is one of my favorite blogs to track SharePoint Development.
