The Microsoft.Sharepoint.dll File ?? Installing Webpart Template Library...

[Raghavendra R A V, CSS India]

Hi...
I need to create web parts in .NET

It seems i should have the WebPart Template Library instaled. (Ref :
devx.com, an article on how to create webparts). Whe i tried to
install the webpart template library, the installation asked for the
Microsoft.Sharepoint.dll file. But it is no where available on my
development machine. But i found it on the server where SPS2003 is
installed.

Following is my work environment...

Client Machine (From where I need to develop webparts)
------

OS : Windows Server 2000
.NET Installed ? : Yes


Server Machine (Where Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 is installed)
--------

OS: : Windows Server 2003
.NET Installed ? : No

I tried to copy the dll file to the local machine (even if not
systematic)and made this local file as reference to template library
and i am able to create and compile the webparts. But it is not
getting on to the site even after registering it to the web.config
file. I am unable to locate the problem. Where could the problem be ?

In simple way my question is "How can i create web parts ?". What
all softwares I need to install and where. Please reply soon.

You dont need to copy it, just tell the instalation the location of
the sharepoint.dll at the server.
