SharePoint and SQLServer: Designer or Visual Studio 2008
August 25, 2008
We can’t escape SharePoint. We also can’t escape SQLServer. The question arose recently about Designer (a light weight, graphical tool for “coding” SharePoint) and Visual Studio 2008. Our solution was to hack away until the beastie SharePoint could suck data from SQLServer.
MSDN’s Dot Net Web log, “. Net Developer”, had a useful post today. We think it’s pretty useful. We tried to locate the information using the MSDN search and experience zero joy. The original Web log post we snagged is here. The key piece of information is this statement:
If you’re working with content, SharePoint Designer is a great tool, but if you’re working with compiled code, then you really need to be looking at Visual Studio and the things that the extensions let you do.
To make Visual Studio work, however, you will need these links to obtain bits and pieces not in the Visual Studio 2008 build:
The information is available on Phil Wheat’s Web log: http://blog.austinwheats.net
Save these links because the search function doesn’t work too well.
