You need to develop WebParts in VS 2005, package them and install them in SharePoint.

You can then plug the WebParts in SharePoint where ever needed.

How-to details, please?

What to install, windows sharepoint services 2.0 or 3.0, sharepoint 2003 or 2007? Thanks.

 The application your are doing can be done using WSS 3.0 for this you need to install even .NET Framework 3.0

              WSS 3.0 is a Free ware and you can download from the Microsoft site.
 

Is Microsoft.SharePoint.dll included in the download?

 yes all the dll files are provided with the exe file provided by Microsoft.

          But be carefull while installiing all this stuff on your system. There should be a specific order so that you should face any trouble in the future.

1. Install Windows 2003 OS (which  supports for WSS )

2. install IIS

3. Install VS 2005.

4. Install SQL Server 2005 sp2 with reporting services in mixed mode authentication.

5. Install framework 3.0

6.Then Install WSS 3.0 in your system

My  dev box runs under WN XP and not WIN Server 2003. It it OK?

 You can't Run Share Point on a client System so you need Server systems i.e you need to install it on Windows 2003 server SP1 is the prerequisite for  Share Point Server 2007

 Even WSS 3.0 needs Windows 2003 Sp1 thats the prerequisite.
