ArcGIS for Sharepoint - Customizing layouts

Layouts

Layouts allow you to change the look and feel of the Map Web Part. You may create your own custom layout for your Map Web Part by editing the DefaultLayout.xaml file in the ArcGIS Mapping Configuration Files doc library. The DefaultLayout.xaml file has the following restrictions:

You cannot reference other resource dictionaries, therefore all styles need to be contained within the DefaultLayout.xaml file.
There is no title area and there are no toolbar containers in this layout, since all tools show up on the SharePoint ribbon.

The ArcGIS for SharePoint Map Web Part and ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight share a common layout framework; therefore, you can adapt the content of any of the Viewer layouts into DefaultLayout.xaml, given the restrictions listed above. For information on layouts in the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight, see Customizing layouts.

You may also edit the DefaultLayout.xaml to include custom controls such as a Chart control, overview map, search textbox, and so forth. If you create a layout with a custom control, the .xap file containing the custom control's implementation needs to be added to the ArcGIS Mapping Extensions library.
