Where to get documentation on Source Code API

Where to get documentation on Source Code API
Thu, 14 Sep 2006 20:50:30 +000
We have a licensed version of Community Server 2.0.  I am new here and trying to
find the API documentation so I can start cusomizing stuff such as pulling the
top latest Posts, etc. into our web application from CS.  Where the hell is the
source code API documentation, I don't see it in the docs page.

There isn't API documentation, per se, Expresso, but I'll point you to Oddible's
post just yesterday on the Community Server Forums being a timely and effective
means to get the info you need to do what you need to do, in this case,
extending Community Server.

As for pulling the top latest Posts, you can add a SortBy property and number of
posts displayed to most controls at the .ASCX level, and for extending CS, you
would reference the core CS libraries in your web application CS.Components,
CS.Controls, etc and use the objects in the same way they are used in the CS 2.1
SDK.

There is the CS Developer Wiki at
http://developer.communityserver.org/default.aspx/CS.WelcomeToCommunityServer
and a number of developer guides written by members of the community, like
Keyvan Nayyeri's CS Developer Guides at

http://nayyeri.net/archive/tags/CS+Dev+Guide/default.aspx 

Hope that helps,

Dave
