Use Data Views to Get to Your Data - Both Inside and Outside of SharePoint

SharePoint Designer can be used to make connections to and present data from internal and external data sources such as SharePoint lists, libraries, xml files, databases and web services. The focus of this presentation is on exposing the data to the user using the XSLT web parts. These web parts can be manipulated in a variety of ways to present the information to the end user. In this session, it is shown how the list view and data view tools available can be used to reformat the presentation of the data using conditional formatting, pre-formatted styles, xPath expressions and more.
