I've just finished getting my web 2.0 MCTS, and the exam seemed to have a
disproportionat e interest in Web Parts.
Personally, I don't really see the point of them
Should I think again?
can anyone show me a Site where Web parts are used in a way that makes them
quite compelling as opposed to just a gimmick?
also, I'm happy to hear any views on Web Parts both pro and con and with or
without sites to look at
Regards and thanks in Advance,

This is yet another real-world example of how utterly irrelevant and
pointless the Microsoft "certificat ion" exams are...
Should I think again?
Yes, but not about whether Web Parts will solve all your problems or not...

care to elaborate a bit more about web parts, you seem to have a downer
about
MS exams, but my question was really designed to get an interesting
advocacy
for or against Web Parts ;-)
Just like the rest of the .NET Framework and its associated technologies,
Web Parts are great, but only when they're the right solution...:-)
Your MS cert won't help you in determining when that is...

I'm sorry Mark,
I appreciate that you're taking the time to answer my posts. However I'm
having a problem here.
There isn't sufficient information in your replies. Can you give me an
example of when they're good or no good. Can you point me to a site? can
you
just write more than one sentence so that I get some information.
Do a Google search for

You must not live in a business environment.
Web parts are a great way to place critical, self-updating, live statistics on the screen.
Whether it's regional sales stats, best-performing salesmen, critical inventory levels,
manpower shortages or any vital business need, web parts fill an important need.

Hi, Charles.
They don't have to use Ajax, but they can use it.
Most web part development has centered on Sharepoint Portal Server apps,
and more recently in apps for Windows Sharepoint Services.
Starting with ASP.NET 2.0, you can build web parts
that don't need to run within Sharepoint.
The Web Parts Development Center is at : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e0s9t4ck.aspx
A simple walkthrough is found at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...dw(VS.80).aspx
There's a bunch of 3rd party web parts, usually for purchase, at : http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/...nformation.asp
There's a good market for smart web parts.
You might want to write your own and sell it to businesses.

Hello,
several parts of the pages of my ASP.NET 2.0 site are mainly static,
such as a treeview with all the product categories, a menu bar, the
company header and so on. But they also have a dynamic part, such as a
product list. If I look at the rendered HTML, the static parts are
roughly 60%-70% of the whole HTML sent to the client. Especially the
treeview will quickly sum up to 30K of nested TABLE, TR, TD tags and
javascript.
