When WSS V2 shipped
in September of 2003, it introduced its own Web Part infrastructure. Two
years later in 2005, Microsoft introduced a similar yet distinct Web Part
framework with ASP.NET. Microsoft made this strategic decision to promote
developing Web application with the Web Part paradigm to a larger audience of
developers.

Both Web Part
infrastructures are similar in that they must serialize and store the
customization data and personalization data associated with Web Parts and
user modifications. However, the place the data is stored and the system
classes and API used to get this job done is quite different between them.

As you will see by
the end of this lecture, WSS V3 has been designed to support both the older
style of WSS Web Part as well as the newer style of ASP Web Parts. However,
ASP.NET offers the more strategic approach for creating new Web Part projects
targeted at WSS V3 sites.
