WSRP Toolkit for SharePoint Released

I have been asked this question numerous times. “Does SharePoint produce WSRP compliant content, so that other portal technologies can render SharePoint content such as lists and web parts?” My answer would always be “No”, SharePoint is a WSRP consumer not a producer…well now there is some GREAT NEWS…..that has changed.

Microsoft has released the WSRP Toolkit for SharePoint to CodePlex. This toolkit consists of sample code for producing WSRP conformant content for SharePoint lists and libraries.

You can find the SharePoint Product Team announcement here http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2008/12/05/announcing-the-wsrp-toolkit-for-sharepoint.aspx, and
