- Server Explorer for SharePoint viewing Lists and other artifacts in SharePoint directly inside of Visual Studio.
- Windows SharePoint Services Project (WSP file) Import to create a new solution.
- Added a new web part project item and showed the Visual web part designer which loads a user control as a web part for SharePoint.
- Showed adding an event receiver for SharePoint and using the wizard to choose the event receiver and to just create a source file with that event receiver.
- Added an ASPX workflow initiation form to a workflow project and showed how this workflow initiation form has designer capability.
- Showed the packaging explorer and the packaging editor which lets you structure the SharePoint features and WSP file that is created.
