Overview

A Web Part is a modular unit of information that has a single purpose and that forms the basic building block of a Web Part page. Each instance of a specific Web Part may be similar or may be different in appearance and in behavior. However, the instance of a specific Web Part is based on the same Web Part assembly file that is installed on the site server. A Web Part assembly file can contain code for more than one Web Part.

Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services contains many Web Parts that you can use. Web Parts are also available in the online Web Part gallery. Additionally, you can create your own Web Parts, or you can install Web Parts that are provided by Microsoft.
