Hi. We have donwloaded and installed SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) evaluation version on one of our servers. I have a DEV machine with .NET Framework 2.0 and VS 2005 on it. What kind of other tools do I need in order to start creating cutom web parts for SharePoint 2007? Right now my VS 2005 doesn't have an option of Web Part project. I know I need to download something but not sure what and in what order. My DEV machine doesn't have SharePoint on it. Thank you,

As far as I know, you don't need to use any tool like VS 2005 for creating custom web parts. The build-in tool is already added in SharePoint website. After installing, SharePoint website will be created in your machine. So, go to that website and there is one place where you can create custom web part. Hope it helps.

Hi. Thank you for your reply. I've read your first response but I'm not sure how I can create (or where to find the tool you've mentioned) WebParts. Here are the steps I've done so far. 1. We have a server with MOSS (SharePoint 2007) installed. 2. I have a DEV machine with VS 2005 and .NET framework (2.0 and 3.0) 3. I've installed Microsoft SharePoint Services 3.0 on that DEV machine. 4. I've installed Visual Studio SharePoint Extensions, which gave me these nice icons to create WebPart and other SharePoint projects. Is this the right way to go? After all this installations I still didn't have Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.dll on DEV machine so I've copied it from server where MOSS installed and added to the ISAPI directory where all other dlls are on my DEV machine. After doing that I was able to create webparts that I've wanted and drop them into bin directory on the server. Of course I've run into some security issues, which I've solved by modifying trust level in the web.config from minimum to medium. I know that there's a way to attach config file for each part you create I just don't know how to do that yet. If you have any references and/or examples, or maybe even books I can read please send them my way. I really appreciate your response.

I don't think these are specific to SharePoint. I was talking about SharePoint specific web parts. See my post from before.
