There are 18 namespaces in nine assemblies in the Microsoft Windows SharePoint
Services object model. These namespaces are used within SharePoint sites on the
server that is running Windows SharePoint Services. This chapter will give a structured
overview of the Microsoft .NET–managed namespaces that can be used to customize
a Windows SharePoint Services deployment.
The types and members of the following three namespaces are not intended to
be used directly from your code: Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages, Microsoft
.SharePoint.ApplicationRuntime, and Microsoft.SharePoint.Library. Therefore, they will
not be described in this chapter. The Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages and Microsoft
.SharePoint.WebPartPages.Communication namespaces are specific to building Web
Parts. The Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages namespace will be discussed in
Chapter 37, “Using Visual Studio .NET to Create Web Parts.”
