Bilbro Bloggins

This is the first part of a multipart blog series.

1. In part one, we created a simple SharePoint Web Part which displayed a text label that could be set via the Web Part Properties Editor.
2. In part two of this blog series, we extended the simple SharePoint Web Part by adding a dropdown list box and populating it with values from a SharePoint list.
3. In part three, we add the capabilities to use the selected value in the dropdown list box to filter various SharePoint lists on the page.
4. In part four, you can download the Visual Studio 2008 project solution.

Blog Series Summary: 

As a part of a proof of concept site I was creating in SharePoint, I wanted to learn how to create a web part in SharePoint that can communicate to other web parts on the page.  The web part that I wanted to create was a drop-down list box that would display a list of projects.   Selecting a project on the drop-down list would then drive the contents of the various SharePoint project lists (issues, notes, risks, etc…) on the SharePoint page.

Part Four:
