Kentico CMS allows you to access data stored on a SharePoint (Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) or MOSS - Microsoft Office SharePoint Server) server and display them on your site. This can be done using the SharePoint web parts.

 

What it can do

 

Get list and list items data from SharePoint and provide it to Kentico CMS.
Download documents or images.

 

What it can’t do

 

Modify SharePoint data.
Display Kentico CMS data in SharePoint.

 

How it works

 

SharePoint web parts use pre-generated proxy classes of selected SharePoint web services to get data from the server. The following services are used:

 

http://server/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx - methods for working with lists
http://server/_vti_bin/Imaging.asmx - methods for working with picture libraries
http://server/_vti_bin/Copy.asmx - methods for retrieving file content

 

The returned data is in CAML (XML) format, which needs to be further processed to display the data in a meaningful way. XSLT or ASCX transformations may be used for this purpose. In case of ASCX, the CAML response must be transformed to ASP Dataset.
