What do I need to install for building a Web Part for SharePoint 2010 on Visual Studio 2008? BTW: I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and Office 32-bit

I highly recommend the WSPBuilder 2010 Beta - VS2010 is supported, but not required.

You shouldn't need anything beyond what you need for SharePoint 2007 development. Just make sure you do the following:

  • add assembly reference to the proper Microsoft.SharePoint.dll (i.e. version 14)
  • target .NET 3.5
  • target 64-bit CPU (or AnyCPU)

The CAML for the solution, feature and element manifests is the same as SharePoint 2007.
