.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.

Site Logo Not Changing on Web Part Pages

I tested and reproduced your issue in my local machine. Since the Web Part Pages would override the content in PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea place holder, the site logo would not change automatically. So would you please try remove or comment the following control TitleBarWebPart: See the similar scenario and solution: http://emanonsolutions.blogspot.com/2010/02/left-navigation-webpart-pages.html Hope this can help.
