after getting back from PDC last week, i can tell you that sharepoint developers implementing web parts now is a *good* thing.  after seeing whidbey at pdc, an interesting roadmap emerged with regard to web parts, asp.net 2.0 (whidbey) and windows sharepoint services.  web parts is a core technology in the next version of the asp.net framework...providing a “portal framework” technology.

good news: all web parts currently developed for wss will continue to work under this framework!

better news: web parts developed under whidbey will work in wss!*

there is a slide deck presentation from pdc that you can download...i encourage all to check it out...email me offline if you can't find it.

 

*might require a service pack to wss

if you are using sharepoint (either portal server or just the windows sharepoint services) and want to list some news feeds on your sites...check out my rss feed web part for windows sharepoint services.

i wrote a little web part that lists rss feeds in a single web part view.  some features included: cached results to avoid continuous http requests (configurable duration), proxy server support (except for user auth proxies), description preview, date sorting, etc.

check it out and let me know what you think...given the whidbey stuff, this should work in asp.net whidbey as well!
