ASP.NET pages with SharePoint

A relatively easy route into adding custom forms/screens to a SharePoint installation is to add ASP.NET pages to a SharePoint server.

Advantages

• Can use all ASP.NET features, controls etc
• Requires limited disruption to the SharePoint installation itself.
• Can access full SharePoint object model
• Runs under the SharePoint security model
• Can do things that aren't allowed under normal Sharepoint, eg
• Elevate permissions levels
• Overwrite fields such as "Modified By"

Disadvantages

• Debugging ASP.NET code not possible (as yet)
• Not fully integrated into SharePoint system (use IFrames)

• Adding ASP.NET pages to a SharePoint Installation
• Virtual Directory or Application
• Creating a first ASP.NET page
• Sharepoint Objects
