Making Web Parts in Visual Studio 2008? Use Smart Templates

If you are looking for a starting point when making Web Parts in the latest version of Visual Studio (2008) it could be worth visiting http://www.codeplex.com/smarttemplates. The SmartPart Web Part project is a great initiative and can be seen in use here. For similar SharePoint Developer projects, see http://www.codeplex.com/stsdev.

 Enjoy!

It says that this project has not been released yet?

I have found several people refering to this project, but have found no way to get it.

Hi Chris,

Well spotted - It looks like the project status has changed for some reason. I would be tempted to check again in a few weeks.

Unfortunately, codeplex is community ran and so I have no way of checking status.

If you want to use the template in VB.NET you have to download this Zip-File: http://www.codeplex.com/smarttemplates/WorkItem/AttachmentDownload.ashx?WorkItemId=968&FileAttachmentId=663

The work item “VB.NET version of the templates

” says:

This ZIP file contains the VB.NET version of the project template. Copy this file in your “Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Basic” folder.
