Same I tried but I have a problem. When I deploy this web part it is deployed and available to WP gallery. When I edit page and try to add this WP to the page a message a box says "Extended_SearchBox: Cannot recognize the XML namespace of this Web Part".

I have removed all xmlns attributes from Root <WebPart> only and it looks like <WebPart>. (in .dwp file)

I am usingSharePoint2007 64 bit, Visual Studio 2010, creating WSPBuilder project in VS2010

Thanks,

Chirantan

By default your web part is deployed in the "Custom" group in the web part gallery, so check there first. If you want to put it in a different group, edit Elements.xml (the feature manifest file). Under Elements/Module/File you will find a "Property" element with Name="Group". The value for this element is the web part gallery group name it gets deployed to. Change this to your desired group name, save and redeploy the web part. You should now find it in the group you specified.

SharePoint 2010: extending existing web-parts

Frank, great point! Thank you for sharing. I just tested this too. You can copy the exported .dwp rather than build it from scratch, but you have to make the following 5 changes:

1. Remove all but the xmlns attribute from the <WebPart> element

2. Set the Assembly name to $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$

3. Set the assembly version

4. Replace the Public Key Token

5. Replace the TypeName with the fully qualified type name of your new web part.

I'll modify the post to reflect this.

Hey Steven,

thanks for the nice post. Quick tip: if you want your custom search web part to look the same, just copy the properties that are set in the .dwp you exported in the beginning and paste them in your custom web part's .dwp.
