Listing 3: C# • Inside the WebPart Config File
SharePoint uses this file to identify the WebPart; it contains information about the assembly, the "installation fault" message shown in the event of an error, and the title and description of the WebPart. Note the use of place holders (between the dollar characters) to set the name of the VS project dynamically. The Public Key Token needs to be added manually.
