Microsoft SharePoint Standard Web Parts

It has been rather difficult to find a list (with descriptions) of the standard Web Parts included with Microsoft SharePoint. Anyway, I have compiled a list of useful links relevant to Web Parts in general and the standard Web Parts included with each of the different SharePoint versions:

Introduction to Web Parts:

• Web Parts Overview - Start here
• ASP.NET Web Parts Overview
• A Developer's Introduction to Web Parts

Windows SharePoint Services (WSS):

• Types of Web Parts - Descriptions and sample uses of the standard Web Parts
• SharePoint Web Parts - Comparison of the standard Web Parts in WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007
• Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages Namespace - MSDN

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007:

• Overview of Web Parts available in SharePoint Server 2007 - Extensive; probably the most helpful and relevant link on this page
• SharePoint Web Parts - Comparison of the standard Web Parts in WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007
• Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages Namespace - MSDN
