Introduction: 
To display content from any SharePoint List/Library in Site Page or Publishing Page within same site, we can use List View web part but has one limitation: both Site Page where web part will be added and SharePoint List must be on same site. What if, there is requirement to have List view web part to display content of SharePoint List to another site, is it possible?
