There is no built-in sharepoint control for the presence bubble. If you want to add this functionality on your pages you have to add it as html. Here is a sample: private static int \_COUNTER = 0; private const string PresenceBubble = "<a class='ms-imnlink' href='javascript:;'>" + "<img width='12' height='12' id='imn\_pawn\_{0}' onload=\\"IMNRC('{1}')\\" alt='My SID' " + "src='/\_layouts/images/imnoff.png' border='0' " + "showofflinepawn='1' sip='{2}'></a> {3}"; private static string FormatUser(SPUser user) { \_COUNTER++; return string.

Here is a simple log which has been inspired of Android Log. It logs to ULS which you can open with ULSViewer, SharePoint Log Viewer. using System; using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration; namespace Contoso.Intranet.Portal.Utilities { public class Log { private static readonly string \_CATEGORYNAME = "CONTOSO"; private static readonly SPDiagnosticsCategory \_ERROR\_CATEGORY = new SPDiagnosticsCategory(\_CATEGORYNAME, TraceSeverity.Unexpected, EventSeverity.Error); private static readonly SPDiagnosticsCategory \_WARNING\_CATEGORY = new SPDiagnosticsCategory(\_CATEGORYNAME, TraceSeverity.High, EventSeverity.Warning); private static readonly SPDiagnosticsCategory \_VERBOSE\_CATEGORY = new SPDiagnosticsCategory(\_CATEGORYNAME, TraceSeverity.

In my previous post I wrote about using IgnoreIfAlreadyExists=“True” for preventing of adding webparts multiple times. It works fine until you redeploy your project. Another approach is to use a user control with you webpart. Add mapped folder CONTROLTEMPLATES. Create a new user control, add you assembly and your webpart.
