Extending SharePoint Pages
February 20th, 2006 // 5:48 pm @ Amar
Just wanted to make a quick blog post. Will try to post a detailed walkthru later on. I just successfully extended some of the pages from the _layouots directory by overriding some of the default methods of the SharePoint dll’s. Had never done this before and so was not sure if it can be done or not. But now I can write confirmed that it can be done. I managed to add additional functionality to some of the aspx pages from the _layouts directory while retaining the existing functionality and also altering the way the existing functionality worked. Both these ways are possible. As long as the assembly is not obfuscated, ( which most of the application page assemblies are not ), then it’s easy to achieve this.
