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.
