I've spent many hours pouring over your site for examples that actually work and have had no luck. I'm totally new to CMS development and am only familiar with the basic terms. I've attempted to use this example http://www.mono-software.com/blog/post/Mono/93/Building-a-custom-Web-part/ to no avail. It seems that there is no available documentation on how to create a brand new, untemplated, basic "Hello world" web part AND ready it for actual use in a page. Can you help at all?
btw, thanks for any input!
