in SharePoint 2007 (moss)
i need to implement a button . a button to create a custom action. this custom action registers a JavaScript file and a startup script. I have a C# code for this purpose.
i am not sure how to use the C# code. i was told the C# code just needs to be compiled into an assembly and deployed to the SharePoint server. however i dont quite know how can i do that.
( In case required, Reference to what i am trying to do is at this url )
any help appreciated .

In article you see that "feature" file contains
That means the code goes inside class SelectItemsAction within Motion10.SharePoint2007 namespace.
SharePointSolutionPack is name of Dll file, which, when compiled, you copy to
C:\Windows\assembly
However you must also copy feature defintion to (default location):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES
A helpful resource for You
Anyway, what i wrote is not very helpful because i'm not going into details. See this step-by-step example on creating sharepoint button (exactly what you need) that uses Visual Studio extension that helps you develop features and deploy them (without copy-pasting i meantioned above). (You'll learn how to create features with that article)
It is important to learn about sharepoint features, because before i understood how to create features, it was hard to do anything in sharepoint (couldn't understand sharepoint articles, when i saw code, all the time question pops up - where do i put that code?).
Good luck!
