SharePoint 2010 version of the WebPart Manager tool

I created a SharePoint 2010 version of the WinForm WebPart Manager tool that I demonstrated in my previous posting. Sources and binaries of the 2007 and 2010 versions are now available in codeplex.

The 2010 version works by default with the new XsltListViewWebPart instead of the older ListViewWebPart. It also has the additional option to save the web parts’ ID-s when exporting a module element feature – this is necessary for web parts which are placed in “rich content” editable fields.

I also added a new node level in both versions – below ListViewWebPart-s (or XsltListViewWebPart-s for SharePoint 2010) the associated with the web part SPView object now appears.
