I need to know how to create a web part with visual studio 2010 and deploy it with a solution package in a feature.

When I try to do it by just changing the .webpart file to a .dwp file and change the markup in a corresponding way, I get an error in while deploying, probably because my elements.xml where the module is falsely defined.

I don't know where the .dwp file is put and how to reference it? It doesent seem to go where the .webpart file normally goes "14\Features\MyFeature\ClassName".

If I knew where the .dwp goes and how to reference it in my module element I think my top question can be answered.

If anyone wonders why I need to make the wep part a dwp, its because it inherits from the "AggregationWebPart". The root problem may lay somewhere there actually.

    Why do you want to make it a DWP file? Is there something with a .WEBPART file you are unable to do?

    1.Try create DWP using WSP builder 2.Save default AggregationWebPart.dwp from webpart gallery and edit it. Then, after you deploy your wsp, add dwp to the webpart gallery manually first.

This link might help you out: http://onlinecoder.blogspot.com/2012/06/incompatible-webpart-markup-dwp-vs.html

"Both .dwp and .webpart file types are used to describe where the code is for a web part. They are XML web part descriptors deployed with the web part. The difference is .dwp was the file extension used in version 2 of SharePoint and .webpart is a new extension used in version 3."
