Welcome to the fist AxioWorks Lab practical tutorial.
In this tutorial we will see how easy it is to manage a list of articles in SharePoint and publish them on to a website. Despite this being a very simple example, note the following interesting points:
- It allows the publication of mixed content (plain text, HTML and images);
- It takes full advantage of the out-of-the-box content approval capabilities built in SharePoint (this could be extended to take advantage of workflow processes) so that only approved content is displayed by the website;
- It integrates with standard .NET control with just a few lines of code.
If you already have experience with managing SharePoint lists, some of the following steps will be obvious, however the purpose of this exercise is to highlight both the advantages of using SharePoint to manage data as well as the ease of integration with standard technologies like .NET made possible by AxioWorks SQList - even to the inexperienced user.
