SharePoint 2010 & Silverlight

• Getting Started With Silverlight and SharePoint 2010
• Modify WebPart menu (Understanding and working with Web Part Verbs)
• SharePoint 2010 Silverlight Client Object Model - How to use
  • In Silverlight, ClientContext.Current is null - how to fix it. In your Silverlight Object Tag, add the following:

 "<param name=\"initParams\" value=\"MS.SP.url=" + SPContext.Current.Site.Url + "\" />"

• Turn on the Developer Dashboard by running the following stsadm command:

stsadm -o setproperty -pn developer-dashboard -pv OnDemand

• In VS2010, can make the following changes to
  • Elements.xml: change the

    <Property Name="Group" Value="Custom" />

    to something other than Custom.
  • Webpart.webpart (webPartIcon is 16x16):

  <property name="ChromeType" type="chrometype">TitleAndBorder</property>
  <property name="CatalogIconImageUrl" type="string">_layouts/images/ContosoWebParts/WebPartIcon.gif</property>
  <property name="TitleIconImageUrl" type="string">_layouts/images/ContosoWebParts/WebPartIcon.gif</property>

• • Elements.xml, modify the URL attribute of File element to change the .webpart file name to ensure that it is unique. Do this by prepending the text value of "ContosoWebParts_" (ie Feature project name) to the beginning of the URL property value.
