MAPILab Spy for SharePoint is a universal accessory tool for simplifying the development of solutions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
The program provides a developer with the following tools:
- Browser for examining SharePoint object model. Due to the .NET Reflection technology, the browser displays all objects, methods, properties, not limited to “familiar” objects. Also it allows you to modify their properties and mark objects for usage in context scripts.
- Context scripts on C#. Absolutely any method and any object can be called from scripts, as well as the value of any properties and fields including hidden (internal, private, protected) can be obtained. The script code can greatly assist as a tool of dynamic debugging of code segments. Script codes can be transferred in the code of your product practically without any changes.
The program allows you to open any number of browser windows and scripts. With the help of the browser, it is possible to visually show the necessary objects, mark and pass them for usage in context scripts. If the script returns the object during script execution, the object is opened in the new browser window. Due to the .NET Reflection technology, there are no limitations on types of returned objects. In the program help file, besides examples of operations with SharePoint objects (sites, lists, etc.) you can find examples of utilizing Windows Forms and Active Directory.
