.DWP vs .WEBPART


This question has come up a bit so I thought I would make a comment ...


"During the time of adding a new webpart, iam seeing .dwp for some webparts and .webpart for some webparts as extension. What is the difference between these two?" 


The differance here is that one is a SharePoint webpart and the other is a .NET web part.


The .dwp is a SharePoint web part. This would be one like the Content Editor.


The .webpart is a .NET framework.


The primary differances are that the SharePoint webparts are built with backwards compatibility and more functionality in the web parts communitcation area. If you needed a web part that worked in WSS 2.0 and WSS 3.0, this would be your guy.


The later is one that most likely originated in Visual Studio.

HOW TO CREATE A SHAREPOINT EMPLOYEE DIRECTORY?

Option 1: Use the Contact List Web Part available in SharePoint If you are a small organization, you can simply use an out of the box Web Part called Contacts to manage contact information. The beauty of this approach is that you can customize your Contacts Web Part with any columns/metadata that you wish. That means you can add all sorts of phone numbers, notes, other information and group/organize it in any way you wish on your SharePoint site or page The second option when it comes to  SharePoint Employee Directory  is to create custom sites/pages using  Content Search Web  part. This option works well when you have a larger organization and want to create an Employee Directory that allows you to filter the different properties using left-hand-side metadata criteria. You do need to be an advanced SharePoint User to create this sort of Directory. If you are comfortable with some customization and want to give it a try, here are couple of blog posts ...

Delete unused workflow status columns in SharePoint list views using PowerShell

Delete unused workflow status columns in SharePoint list views using PowerShell SharePoint 2010 seems to be better than 2007 for removing workflow status columns from list views after a workflow has been removed or updated, but it does still leave them behind every now and again. I have been unable to trace exactly why this happens, but rather than waste time looking, I decided to write a quick PowerShell script to remove these columns as they cannot be deleted from the UI. This script works as a function – meaning that there are two parts to running it in the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. First, you have to run the script shown below: function Delete-WorkflowColumn ($webURL, $listName, $columnName) {     #Setup variables from the user input     $web = Get-SPWeb $webURL     $list = $web.Lists[$listName]     $column = $list.Fields[$columnName]         #Make sure the column is not hid...
