15.1. What You Need to Get Started
Before you jump in to create new actions, ensure that you have the correct tools. These tools include:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (not Visual Studio Express).
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=05e0dd12-8394-402b-8936-a07fe8afaffd&DisplayLang=en) or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6D94E307-67D9-41AC-B2D6-0074D6286FA9&displaylang=en).
Windows XP or Windows Vista. (I used Windows Vista.).
I chose General Development Settings when configuring Visual Studio 2008 for the first time. If you chose different settings, your screens may differ from the screenshots in this chapter.
If you want to reset your Visual Studio 2008 settings, select Tools
Import and Export Settings, and use the wizard to reset your settings. In the wizard, you have the option of backing up your existing settings if you want to revert to them later on.
