  • @Marc D Anderson - Marc, I saw referneces about DVWP while looking on the web, but is this web part available on 2010 SharePoint Foundation? I certainly can't see it anywhere (not in Gallery either)... Commented May 5, 2011 at 1:45
  • The Data View Web Part can only be added through SharePoint Designer. Commented May 5, 2011 at 2:59
  • Laurie, why? DataViewWebPart is public. Can you give us some proof links? I'm sure you can add any of standard webparts using either XML elements with AllUsersWebPart or sharepoint object model and SPLimitedWebPartManager. Commented May 5, 2011 at 9:49

    I think Laurie meant that DVWPs can only be created in SharePoint Designer (well, and probably in VS too, IDK, I don't use the product). Once created, the web part can be exported and imported to other pages via the UI. Commented May 5, 2011 at 12:15
  • And the good thing about using a DWVP and the web service, it will automatically security trim the results based on what the current logged in user has access to. Commented May 5, 2011 at 12:17
