Hey Joe,

I'm a little lost on what you are calling Web Parts, I was unable to locate informaiton within the documents for this section. 

Is this web parts like in SharePoint or ?

THanks,

Mark

Dredging up this old post, I'm wondering if the consensus is still that web parts are a fading fad? I see stuff like iGoogle, MSN and Pageflakes but I don't really know how popular these web part site features really are. A couple of other questions I had were if anyone knows of a good example that illustrates some best practices for developing web parts for use in the mojoportal mypage feature. And also, it's my understanding that to have a feature on mypage that allows the user to set some property values, it needs to be a web part as opposed to a user control. User controls on mypage wouldn't really be configurable by the user. Is that correct?

Thanks

John

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the reply. On that note, is there some kind of newer framework or technology for this kind of end user personalization that you know of? I would think there are a still developers that want to provide this kind of feature to their site users. It seems the web part concept is still pretty integral to Sharepoint, so I wouldn't think it's something the Microsoft is planning to throw away. But if there's a better replacement for the features you have on "MyPage", I'd sure be willing to look at it.

Thanks again,

John

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the input. I believe I will need to think hard about our strategy for the personalization stuff we want to do on the site. i don't think I'd want to make a big investment in asp.net webparts at this point if they're basically a dead end.

Thanks again,

John
