Accessing SharePoint (global admin, VS's, lists) from Comp that isnt

Asked By: Felicia Hunter Date: May 01, 2006 Category: Sharepoint Views: 291

Anyone know is this is possible? I'm trying to create a simple windows
form app that I dont want to have to place on the server. Somehow I
have to "connect" to the server? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

You have to use web services to do it remotely. Any application accessing
the sharepoint assemblies will fail out if SharePoint isn't installed
locally.

The web services only provide a subset of functionality and don't provide a
lot in the way of admin functions.

You could consider writing your own Web Service to implement the
functionality that you want to remote.
