Web Part Not Showing Up

OK, I'm pretty new to Developing in Sharepoint but learning.
Created a simply web part in Visual Studioe to collect contact information and email it to me. I deployed it and it shows up in my available web parts for one of my Web Applicaitons (http://sharepointsite or http://www.sharepointsite.com) but none of my other Web Application sites.

How do I make available any custom web part(s) I deploy through Visual Studios to all other web applications?

My next quest is to save the contents of this form in a list, so we can do other things to it. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

PS: The form does work as when the information is filled out and the form is submitted it send me the email. Yeah, me.... (:

Modification I:

I setup the project in Visual Studios, per article found here on codeproject - Creating a Contact Form Web Part for SharePoint.

I deployed using the Build menu in Visual Studios 2008. I'm assuming it only deployed to the default Web Application Site as in Sharepoint I do see the web part in my default site Web Part Gallery, but not any other sites.

How can I deploy from VS to individual sites, or how to deploy to all sites in sharepoint? I would like to be able to control which sites get what Web Parts.

I was able to get the .wsp file added as a solution - using stsadm on the server.

I can see the web part under my defualt site, but can't see the web part under another site.

How do I deploy to additional sites?

Before one more smart @$$ tells me to get training - I HAVE. And am now trying to apply some practical and I'm trying to use codeproject for help.

Solution 1

How did you deploy the webpart? Have you deployed the solution to all the web applications?

I understand you are just learning but SharePoint is a complicated beast and you need to spend time reading, researching and learning before just trying to jump in to it.

Solution 4

Please stop what you are doing and take some training on SharePoint, or at least read a book. The problems you are encountering are easily avoided or over come when you understand the tools and technology you are using.

What a big ass waste of time trying to use codeproject for help. I'm only getting pissed off because I'm trying to learn and so far all comments are NOT helping but critising.

Training I spend $ 5,000.00 on training several hundred on books and now I'm trying some practial and I'm having problems so I turn to codeproject for help and all I get are negative comments.

And you still don't know how to deploy a web part and use stsadm? WTF

Don't get pissed at us because you wasted $5000 and can't read.

I do know how to deploy a web part, as stated above my web part works.... but only on the default site and not the balance of sites.

Can't you see why I pissed off. You go somewhere for help, as the definition in the mission statement of the site, and one gets ribbed and no answers.
