Sharepoint: Developing Web Parts with the ICellProvider Interface

An ICellProvider Interface Web Part connects to a developed Web Part using an ICellConsumer interface. An ICellProvider interface should only be used to provide a single value to a Web Part developed from an ICellConsumer interface. There is no transformer available when an ICellProvider interface Web Part connects with an ICellConsumer Web Part. It's a direct connection between the provider and consumer Web Parts.

Sharepoint: The Power of the Data View Web Part

“Displaying meaningful data from a variety of XML data sources can be complicated and it typically requires writing custom code. Microsoft Office FrontPage® 2003 and Microsoft Windows® SharePoint™ Services have developed a technology, captured in the Data View Web Part, that makes the process of displaying XML data as easy as drag-and-drop. Although advanced developers can still create custom coded solutions, no coding experience is necessary to use the Data View Web Part. Join us in this webcast to learn how to create an application that will easily enable you to display data from a variety of sources. We will demonstrate using Conditional Formatting, Web Part Connections, and ad hoc sort/filter and grouping to create dynamic data views for displaying customer information in one to many relationships. We will also look at how the Data View Web Part can be further extended to achieve amazing results such as XML data charting.”
