10.7. Summary
This chapter explored the display and manipulation of SharePoint data on a page using SharePoint Designer, and introduced you to the XSLT Data View Web Part. It also discussed:
SharePoint lists and libraries that can be rendered on a page in a number of ways.
How to add a Web Part to a page with SharePoint Designer, and place it outside of a Web Part Zone.
How SharePoint lists and libraries exposed as data sources can be used by the Data View Web Part.
That the XSL transform for a Data View can be inline or in a separate file.
How the XPath editor makes it easy to build complicated XML data expressions.
The next chapter explains how to take the Data View to a whole new level by accessing data from outside of the current SharePoint web, and directly editing the XSL transforms.
