Hi Friends,
I have learned a some of sharepoint services programming techniques and i've written a combination of vb.net and c#.net both languages are similar to work. just c# have additional concept to learn than VB. So just work around and play around. I think it might be useful for u People. :-) If any Queries Mail me. i'll help u. :-)
Note :
For Beginers to run a console application in the context of Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, they must be administrators on the computer where the script is executed. Make sure to add reference which wil be available once if u install sharepoint in your server, so u can insert in application.
How to do that ?

In Solution Explorer, right-click the References node, and then click Add Reference on the shortcut menu. On the .NET tab of the Add Reference dialog box, select Windows SharePoint Services in the list of components, click Select, and then click OK.
On the Visual Studio .NET, File Menu -> New ->Project.
In the New Project dialog box, select Visual Basic Projects or Visual C# Projects in the Project Types box, depending on which language you prefer. In the Templates box, select Console Application. In the Location box, type the path to where to create the application, and then click OK.
And add namespaces in your application when ever you create a new console or asp.net application for sharepoint

RegisterClientScriptBlock

Adds a script block to the top of the page. You create the script as a string, and then pass it to the method, which adds it to the page. You can use this method to insert any script into the page. Note that the script might be rendered into the page before all the elements are finished; therefore, you might not be able to reference all the elements on the page from the script.

Example

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("MyScript", "<script language=javascript>" + "if (document.images) {" + "MyButton = new Image;" + "MyButtonShaded = new Image;" + "MyButton.src = 'button1.jpg';" + "MyButtonShaded.src = 'button2.jpg';" + "}" + "else {" + "MyButton = '';" + "MyButtonShaded = '';" + "}" + "</script>"); ImageButton1.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.src = MyButtonShaded.src;" + "window.status='Oh Yes! Click here!';"); ImageButton1.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.src = MyButton.src;" + "window.status='';");

}

RegisterClientScriptInclude

Similar to the RegisterClientScriptBlock method, but adds a script block that references an external .js file. The include file is added before any other dynamically added script; therefore, you might not be able to reference some elements on the page.

Example

Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude("my" ,
ResolveClientUrl("~/scripts/timer.js"));

RegisterStartupScript

Adds a script block into the page that executes when the page finishes loading but before the page's onload event is raised. The script is typically not created as an event handler or function; it generally includes only the statements you want to execute once.

Example

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

string jScriptValidator; jScriptValidator="<script> function ReqFieldValidator()" + " { if (document.forms[0].txtField.value == '') \n"; jScriptValidator+="{ alert('TextBox cannot be empty') \n "; jScriptValidator+="return false; \n"; jScriptValidator+="} \n"; jScriptValidator+=" return true \n"; jScriptValidator+=" } </script>"; Page.RegisterStartupScript("regJSval",jScriptValidator); btnSubmit.Attributes.Add("onclick","return ReqFieldValidator()");

}

RegisterOnSubmitStatement

Adds script that executes in response to the page's onsubmit event. The script is executed before the page is submitted, and gives you an opportunity to cancel the submission.

Here’s list:

Active Listening
Active listening is a skill that allows a person to completely focus on the communication of another person including both verbal and non-verbal aspects.  Active listening requires the ability to not think of your own responses until after a person has finished speaking.  One simple way of doing this is to echo what a person is saying in your silent internal voice.  When someone says “I think we should build a new gimbal on the widget”, you are saying exactly the same thing in your own mind.  Active listening also requires that you request clarification, often by rephrasing what a person has said and asking if you have understood correctly.
Questioning
Being able to frame and express questions effectively helps us understand and integrate knowledge into our own mental model of the world, or even to modify our mental model.  Asking questions is easy.  Asking good questions is much harder.  We need to use an appropriate set of words and tone of voice so that we do not alienate or offend the recipient of the question.  For example, asking “why did you do that?” will often put people on the defensive since they will assume that you mean you disagree with their actions.  Instead, saying “I do not understand the reason you did that.  Could you please explain it to me?” can be a much more gentle way of getting to the same information.
Logical Argument
When presenting an idea or position, being able to logically support it is important to exploring the truth of it.  This includes being able to share your assumptions or axioms, the data you are basing your argument upon, and the logical sequence of reasoning to reach your conclusion.  Being able to avoid fallacious logical methods is also important.
Respecting
Showing respect includes acknowledging the fundamental human value of the existence of your teammates, and being able to step back from your own understanding of the world to acknowledge the legitimate nature of the perspective that other people have.  This does not mean that you have to let teammates get away with inappropriate behavior.  In fact, respect for your teammates will allow you to support them in behaving in ways that are in alignment with their fundamental nobility as human beings.
Helping
Offering help and actually following through with real assistance are aspects of helping.  When you suspect that a team member is struggling with something, you offer to help both verbally and with your actions.  This can take the form of offering information, offering emotional support, offering to assist with problem-solving, or actually taking action to do an activity together.  When we help someone, we share their burden.
Sharing
Sharing our knowledge, time, skills or physical resources are all aspects of sharing.  Sharing among team members is focused on those things which will help a team reach its goals.  This is similar to helping except that it tends to be more of a transaction than an ongoing activity.  The transaction is that you give a gift and then the other person uses that gift to meet their needs.  Sharing does not require reciprocity.  If you share something with another person, you should not expect that that person will return the gift at any time in the future.
Participating
It’s probably obvious, but in order to effectively be on a team, you need to participate!  Participation itself is mostly obvious: do work with the other team members.  However, there are also some less obvious aspects of it.  You are not participating when the team is having a discussion, you find it boring, so you check your email.  You are not participating when the team makes a decision and you abstain from helping to execute the decision because you disagree.  You are not participating in a work team when you are mentally checked out because of a crisis at home.

http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/01/28/comprehensive-list-of-silverlight-controls.aspx

I’ve written a few times about some of the controls that have been provided by organizations like Telerik and ComponentOne. I figured it would be a good idea to do a larger dump of those that I’m aware of (and hope you add comments to point me to others so I can amend this list) and help make you aware of them as well. There are a ton of great resources out there for Silverlight developers and I’m always impressed how our developer partners are extending our platforms to make tools for developers (and most of the time better than we do :-)).

Here’s my round-up of controls (alphabetically – links here will jump to their section):

• Cellbi
• ComponentArt
• ComponentOne
• DevExpress
• Divelements
• FarPoint
• GOA Toolkit (Netikatech)
• Infragistics
• Intersoft (WebAqua and more)

• SilverlightContrib
• Silverlight Toolkit
• SLExtensions
• Telerik
• Vectorlight
• Visifire
• Xceed
• Open Source and Other Silverlight Projects

Cellbi

Cellbi has a library called SvLite Effects which contains animations and controls such as:

• Carousel
• Wipe
• SlideShow
• Primitives
• Tweens
• Window
• ComboBox
• Accordion

A demonstration of these controls is provided on the SvLite Effects site.

(back to top)

ComponentArt

ComponentArt recently announced their roadmap for Web.UI for Silverlight. While there is nothing downloadable as of this writing, they do have plans for a suite of controls for Silverlight that include:

• ContextMenu
• DataGrid
• Slider
• TreeView
• ItemFlow
• Menu
• Toolbar
• Upload

Some of their current preview demos are available on their technology preview site for the Web.UI for Silverlight controls.

(back to top)

ComponentOne

ComponentOne extends their “Studio” line of products to include a Studio for Silverlight which currently includes a suite of controls:

• Accordion
• Book
• Chart
• Color Picker
• ComboBox
• Cube
• Data
• DataGrid
• DragDropManager
• Expander
• FilePicker
• Gauges
• HeaderContent
• HtmlHost
• Hyper Panel
• Image

• Image Magnifier
• Image Rotator
• Layout Panels
• Maps
• Masked TextBox
• Menu
• MessageBox
• NumericBox
• Range Slider
• RichTextBox
• SpellChecker
• TreeView
• Uploader
• Window
• Zip

You can explore these controls using their Silverlight Control Explorer sample application.

(back to top)

DevExpress

No stranger to the control market, DevExpress hit the ground running early with releasing a DataGrid along with full source code. They have since added more to their Silverlight-specific controls:

• DataGrid
• Rich Text Editor
• Menu/Toolbar Controls
• Layout Manager

These can all be viewed using their online demos area of their site.

(back to top)

FarPoint

Another familiar name, probably most widely known to Visual Basic developers for FarPoint Spread, the team has seemingly been working on a set of controls for Silverlight. They are currently in “lab” form but include controls for:

• DateTime
• Numerics
• Mask edit
• Text input
• Calculator
• Error reminder
• Spin

As I noted, these are in lab form, but FarPoint has a preview build available and demonstrations on their lab site.

Download them from Microsoft

UPDATE: Daniel Brown made a WSP for easy installation

Referred URL:

http://www.sharepointdevwiki.com/display/public/How+to+create+Web+Part+instances+on+pages+using+Features+-+FeatureReceiver+-+SPLimitedWebPartManager

This post helps you to add / delete webpart using sharepoint feature. 

Open VS 2008 -> WSP builder -> Feature with receiver ->

Adding Webpart

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties) {

using (SPWeb web = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb)

   {

    SPFile file = web.GetFile(web.Url + "/default.aspx");

    using (SPLimitedWebPartManager webpartsMng = file.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.User))

    {

    ContentEditorWebPart webPart = new ContentEditorWebPart();

     webPart.Title = "Test Web Part";

     webpartsMng.AddWebPart(webPart, "Right", 0);

    webpartsMng.Web.Dispose();

   }

  }

}

Deleting webpart add this code in deactivating

public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties) {

SPWeb web = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;

SPFile file = web.GetFile(web.Url + "/default.aspx");

using (SPLimitedWebPartManager webpartsMng = file.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.User))

{

try

{

for (int i=0; i< webpartsMng.WebParts.Count; i++)

webpartsMng.DeleteWebPart(webpartsMng.WebParts[i]);

}

finally

{

if(webpartsMng.Web != null)

webpartsMng.Web.Dispose();

}

}

}
