UserControl in SharePoint 2007

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pranab/archive/2007/11/30/adding-user-control-to-sharepoint-2007-moss-wss-web-part-and-handling-events-in-there.aspx

Important! - Fully Qualified Name

When Copying the ASCX File from UI Project to WebPart Project, need to change the Inherit attribute as below along with the reference of UI Project in WebPart Project.

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="UINameSpace.ClassName, UINameSpace, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=Key" Debug="true" %>

It searches for the classname in the given namespace and executes our logic.
Code-Behind also works!!!

WSPBuilder Project - SharePoint 2007

1. File --> New Project --> WspBuilder Project
2. Add existing item [ Shared Signin Key if you have one, otherwise create one]
3. Delete default signin key.
4. Add any other existing items, like GlobalInfo.cs
5. Create Deployment Folder
6. Add existing Install and Remove Scripts and modify as per the current features and wsp.
7. Add READMe.txt of what the solution does.
8. Add WSPBuilder.exe which has the settings for the build.
9. Add wspbuilder.ExcludedFiles.txt to exclude dll's which are already in the GAC or BIN.
Note: Change the Application Target Framework as per your need, 3.5 is good.
10. Now add whatever you need like Features, Workflows, EventHandler etc.

Files:

1. GlobalInfo.cs

[assembly: System.Security.AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()]

2. WSPBuilder.exe
