----------------------------------------------------------- From: SriSamp Message 2 in Discussion Hi Manish, Find answers below to each of your questions. (1) No. Digital Dashboards are not part of Visual Studio, although there are designers that help you develop web parts. (2) I'm not sure if MS ships the DDRK anymore. As far as I can remember, the only digital dashboard software available is SharePoint from Microsoft. The link that was originally there no longer exists. (3) A web part is nothing but a pluggable component inside a dashboard. The pluggable component is again a web page or a script file that can connect to any data source and fetch data for display. (4) If I remember correctly, the SQL Server dashboard and Exchange dashboards are not supported by Microsoft. In my experience, SQL Server has been faster and more maintainable than Exchange. The latest version of the dashboard called SharePoint uses web-folders as the storage mechanism (against a database) and provides more capabilities than the earlier release of the Digital Dashboard. You might want to see if your company actually mean SharePoint.
