Trying to run ASP.Net 2.0 Web Parts within WSS Web zones, using SP2?
Big slap in the face if you think you can run ASP.Net 2.0 Web Parts like standard WSS Web Parts with just SP2. I thought the word on the street said that you could however not so true! You can run ASP.Net Web Parts in pages within WSS running SP2, but if you want to use ASP.Net 2.0 Web Parts, within WSS Web zones you need to wrap them with the Smart Part Framework first. Check out this White Paper. There are two many steps and limitations that have to be configured within the 2.0 framework that has me asking why I need to get ASP.Net 2.0 web parts to play like standard web parts. Until Office 12, I would recommend using standard 1.1 web part development!
