Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint tools provide designers for the most commonly used SharePoint artifacts. But there are many SharePoint artifacts and the Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint tools also provide for extensibility. Developers can add new SharePoint designers, can extend the build and packaging process and can extend the SharePoint explorer. This talk will show how to create a new SharePoint List designer for Visual Studio 2010 using the SharePoint Item (SPI) extensibility.

You will learn:

  • Learn how the SharePoint 2010 project system in Visual Studio 2010 is built
  • Learn the different ways extend the SharePoint 2010 project system
  • See how to package your SharePoint 2010 project extension using MEF and the new VSIX packaging format
