How to create InTireNet in a development environment

Notes / Error / Challenge

Plan view still not working
In Continuing Education project in Visual Studio, when I tried to open the .aspx page in the Desing mode instead of Source, it took a long time to refresh because it needed to render all the controls. So, never open it in Design

stsadm.exe can be found here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN

Added to the PATH using mossAdmin

DLLs for SharePoint can be found here:(InTireNet)

E:\Inetpub\WWWRoot\wss\VirtualDirectories\22223\bin

Create a Web application

Create an empty site using the given port

Go to application Managment in 'Central Admin' While the selected web application is yours, then 'Create Site Collection' using any template and use 'mossAdmin' as the admin of the site. (Titles->MyApps, Url->/Sites/VNSuperAlert)

For deploying a solution again

Instead of retracting the solution, deletesolution from command line would work with -override option then deploy again (go to the .wsp file location, then -> stsadm -o deletesolution -name whatever.wsp -override)

Applying a change to the solution

Change something in the code (VS), then build the solution, drag and drop the created .dll file from the /bin to the GAC -> (C:\Windows\Assembly)

Restart IIS through admin

Replace the .aspx page in: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\CanTire.ContinuingEducation\ with the one in the project

When the changes are fine and need to deploy, create the .wsp file again and deploy it

To Deploy Continuing Education

Craete a web application -> use default

Create Site Collection -> name:Home, admin: mossAdmin

Run the new application -> Create -> Sites -> name:Continuing Education, url:/ContinuingEducation

Upload the site template -> ContinueEd.stp

Deploy the solution to the Central Admin

To add a default item to a list in asp.net

use item.Insert(position, value)

Do it after DataBind()

To debug a webpart

Do the change in both .cs and .aspx pages -> e.g. ContinuingEducation.Layouts.ApplicationNew.aspx

Build the solutiom and drag the new .dll file to the GAC (Assembly)

Copy the aspx page from the project and paste it to the solution package in the Sharepoint -> e.g. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\CanTire.ContinuingEducation\

Restart IIS

Click on Debug -> Attach to process -> w3wp.exe

Run the application on IE -> the breakpoints will be hit

All the fields are created from columns of the Sharepoint application into the field.xml.
To know what is inside a .wsp file and what is it supposed to do:

change the extension of .wsp to .cab and double click -> you will see the list of files in the .wsp file

In the project in Visual Studio, click on .ddf file and you can see the process and the mapped directories.

Also manifest.xml and feature.xml will give some information.
