Community Kit for SharePoint: Development Tools Edition

Como todos sabréis, las VS2010 SharePoint Tools son extensibles por los desarrolladores. Una serie de personas han juntado todas sus extensiones a la interfaz de Visual studio para SharePoint y las han incluido en el proyecto Community Kit for SP. Varios de sus creadores son las personas que impartieron el curso oficial "SharePoitn 2010 Ignite Training".

Podemos descargarlas y añadirlas a nuestro VS. Son herramientas muy potentes y útiles. Hay extensiones para el SharePoint Explroer para poder arrastrar elementos a nuestro proyecto, botones rápidos para añadir la DLL de SharePoint, webparts visuales sandbox, opciones rápidas de despliegue para pruebas… y muchas cosas más. Os paso un extracto de la descripción:



This project provides extensions to four core areas; Environment, Exploration, Content and Deployment. Enhancements to the Visual Studio environment include the new SharePoint References tab available on the Add Reference dialog, allowing you to easily reference any SharePoint assembly without searching the file system or GAC for it. Exploration extends the new SharePoint Explorer with advanced information about SharePoint sites such as the installed Web Parts and Master Pages or the Feature dependencies and elements. Also included in the Explorer are a variety of import functions to bring existing SharePoint items into your active solution. The Content area includes advanced templates such as Linq to SharePoint, Custom Action or Delegate Control. Project templates include the SharePoint Full Trust Proxy and the SharePoint Console Application. Our enhanced Deployment functions give you the ability to utilise quick deployment and almost a dozen other productivity enhancing deployment steps, including automated deployment (per file on change deployment) Find the complete overview of all the CKS Development Tools Edition features on the Documentation tab.
