A couple of worrying changes in SP 2010 products compared to the v3 equivalents
3 Nov 2009 | 7:36 pmThe first problem area is SPD 2010. It has been confirmed in a thread in the new SharePoint 2010 (General) forum http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/threads that it is not possible to edit v3 sites using SPD 2010. This is against all previous practice (with SPD 2007 and FrontPage 2003) where downward compatibility was available but naturally upgrade compatibility wasn't. The only slightly bright spot is that it was also confirmed that SPD 2010 and SPD 2007 can be run together on the same client machine. So you don't need two machines just to…

SharePoint 2010 Dev TidBit – Small bug in VS2010 Beta 2 SharePoint Tools (that’s fixed in RTM)
20 Nov 2009 | 3:55 amI ran into this doing a few code samples for SharePoint 2010 using the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 SharePoint tools. Passing it along as it threw me for a loop when I first saw it. First, in case you aren’t aware, the SharePoint “things” you add to a project in Visual Studio 2010 are called SharePoint Items (SPI’s). This includes things like Web Parts, Visual Web Parts, Content Types, etc. Basically anything that has a Item Template in Visual Studio 2010 is is a SPI. So what’s the issue? Well, in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, the SharePoint tools make the assumption that if you don’t… -
SharePoint 2010 Dev TidBit – It finally has an official name!
20 Nov 2009 | 3:46 amOK, so technically it isn’t the official name, but we’re finally seeing some semblence of a name. As seasoned SharePoint developers know, you do a lot of work inside this nested location on the file system. In the two most current versions of SharePoint it was: SharePoint 2007 – c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12 SharePoint 2010 – c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14 We all called it by various names. Some called them the ‘12 Hive’ or ‘14 Hive’ (which I never liked or understood since it had absolutely… -
FYI – Interesting Little Bug in VS 2010 Beta 2 when working with the SharePoint 2010 Silverlight Client Object Model
19 Nov 2009 | 3:39 amI’ve been struggling trying to work with the new SharePoint 2010 Silverlight client object model on a new environment I setup. This has SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 and Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2… nothing special, that’s it (along with the dependencies such as SQL Server and everything they require). To work with the Silverlight client object model you have to add two references to your Silverlight project. These two assemblies (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Silverlight.dll & Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Silverlight.Runtime.dll). These can be found in the [..]\14\TEMPLATES\LAYOUS\ClientBin…

SharePoint 2010 Setup - Hurry up and Wait Edition
19 Nov 2009 | 9:57 pmBy now, everyone and his brother are downloading and installing the SharePoint 2010 beta onto their Windows 7 and Vista boxes. Why not? I mean, for the longest time we were stuck with having to spin up a Windows 2003 or 2008 server so now accessibility is here and we can genuinely put it on our machines without hackish workarounds. Of course why you would install a server application on a desktop OS is beyond this blog post and for a discussion over beers at SharePint. In any case there all kinds of guidance coming out on how to set things up. One of them is the MSDN article called Setting Up… -

Hiding the New Toolbar Button in SharePoint with jQuery
12 Nov 2009 | 6:42 pmAnother quick little fun thing today. Many times you might want (need) to hide the “New” button on a list toolbar. You know the one I mean? Why would you want to do such a thing? For example on a project I’m building I actually call the NewForm.aspx page with a querystring because I want to pre-populate my form with some vales. As such, I don’t want users to create new items in a list without these references and since they have to come from another list I’m left with the problem of trying to restrict them from creating new items but still offer them the ability to use the features… -

27 Oct 2009 | 11:25 amLast week, while at the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas, I wrote a blog post on being disappointed that SharePoint 2010 does not seem to include a critical feature promised by Bill Gates and Tom Rizzo in their keynote speech at last year's (2008) SharePoint Conference.The feature promised was a one-to-one relationship (as needed for specific applications) between a SharePoint List and a native database table (SQL Server, Oracle, etc.).

Event handlers in SharePoint 2010

Closing thoughts from the SharePoint conference
22 Oct 2009 | 1:01 pmI am sitting in the last session, and I have to admit- I am a little bit afraid of SharePoint 2010. There is just so much more, that it makes the step from SharePoint 2003 to 2007 seem small in comparison. I think we should thank the SharePoint product team for an enormous effort to get all this new stuff in - and give us some very complex stuff to work with.I am looking forward to doing search solutions, writing visual web parts, developing better event handlers (post synchronous events!), designing in sharepoint designer and then moving the design to visual studio and more and more and… -

Now that the platform has been around for a couple years, there’s tons of material to play with… on the Microsoft site, on blogs, through podcasts, through live online demos, through SharePoint Saturdays… you name the medium and SharePoint will be in it.

Has Common Craft’s “SharePoint In Plain English” started a trend?

Microsoft got wind of it and hired them to produce a video: SharePoint in Plain English.

Live Webinar: The Secrets to Successfully Migrating Exchange Public Folders to SharePoint Exchange Public Folders are being replaced by SharePoint in many organizations, because it is a better choice for document sharing and collaboration applications. Once you’ve made the decision to migrate to SharePoint, how do you ensure a successful project from both the content migration and… -
Verizon Wireless MiFi 2200
20 Oct 2009 | 8:52 amI have been using Verizon Wireless service, including data plan, for a long time; actually years now. I really like the data plan with USB modem, works well with all the traveling I do. And, its much less expensive than paying $14+ a night for Internet access at hotels. Yesterday I picked the latest and greatest Internet access toy; the MiFi 2200. It is a USB wireless modem that still allows me to access my same data plan but also adds a wireless hub. Now, no matter where I go, I can setup a small wireless network. This comes in very handy, even in my hotel room, because most all of… -

Enhancing Calculated Column Views with jQuery
14 Oct 2009 | 11:45 amWith a creative mind and a little code, it is quite amazing what can be done. Bil Simser, Fear and Loathing, demonstrates a very creative way, using javascript and jQuery, to update calculated columns with little work. Note while reading his article, all of this work is done on the client-side; meaning, nothing needs to be installed on the server. Great article Bil. http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2009/10/14/calculated-time-left-columns-in-sharepoint-with-jquery/

Troubleshooting .NET Framework 3.5 installation failure
18 Nov 2009 | 10:43 amWhen trying to install Visual Studio 2008 on a development SharePoint box yesterday, I got an error stating that the .NET 3.5 framework could not be installed - "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0a: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0a. MSI returned error code 1603". But apparently this seems to be a very general error message - luckily I found out this post from Aaron Stebner - How to locate the cause of error 1603 in a verbose MSI log file - which showed me that there was an error when trying to install .Net 3.0 SP1 - apparently .NET 3.5 will… -
Solving the “Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItemTypeDeniedOrNotExitsException” error
16 Nov 2009 | 12:42 pmA while ago – I got this interesting error when trying to add workitems in Visual Studio 2008 - “Could not load type Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItemTypeDeniedOrNotExist"Exception from assembly Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client …” Apparently I broke my Visual Studio 2008 by installing Team Explorer and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 in the wrong order – see Visual Studio 2008 with TFS Explorer broken with SP1 – reinstalling SP1 did the trick.

InfoPath Forms and attachments
16 Nov 2009 | 12:33 pmIn InfoPath, you can use a control called “File attachments” – this might be interesting to use when you want to allow a user to add files to a filled in InfoPath form. But beware when you store these file within an InfoPath form they will be stored as Base64 encoded strings within the InfoPath form. This causes the included files not to be crawled by standard SharePoint search. Here’s some sample code to extract these attachments and make them crawleable – InfoPath 2007 – Extracting those pesky binary attachments Technorati Tags: sharepoint,infopath,development,microsoft -
Enterprise Content Types in SharePoint 2010
11 Nov 2009 | 11:09 amSharePoint Server 2010 supports the notion of Enterprise Content Types and Content Type syndication. This concept allows for consistent content type schema’s across SharePoint over multiple site collections. Enterprise Content Types are basically content types which are published from a central Site Content Type gallery -called the Content Type Hub - to content type galleries on other site collections (even on other web applications or across farms). This is implemented using a Managed Metadata Service Application. If you are new to the concept of Service Applications in SharePoint 2010 -…

Speaking on SP 2010 at UK user group – ECM Enhancements
12 Nov 2009 | 12:36 amI’m excited to be giving the London/SE England SharePoint user group’s first SharePoint 2010 presentation in a couple of weeks, woohoo! It’s great to be able to talk/demo publicly on SP 2010 at last. The topic is a fairly general one - ‘Enterprise Content Management Enhancements in SharePoint 2010’, so I’m hoping there’s something in there for devs, admins, PMs, end-users alike. Here’s the abstract: Session 2 - ECM Enhancements in SharePoint 2010 - Chris O'Brien Enterprise Content Management is SharePoint’s bedrock.

SP2010 – developer skills preparation
27 Oct 2009 | 3:21 pmSo either you went to the SharePoint Conference last week, or you didn’t go but have seen the blog articles/tweets about various pieces of new functionality in SharePoint 2010. But ya can’t get your hands on the bits until late November when the public beta is released – so what’s a poor developer supposed to do? Well, lots it turns out. Most SharePoint developers are going to need to learn some new skills if you want to hit the ground running on your first SharePoint 2010 project – this post highlights some “generic” (by which I mean non-SharePoint!) topics and techniques which… -
My favorite SharePoint 2007 development techniques (with an eye on SP2010)
7 Oct 2009 | 9:00 amAs we home in on the release of SharePoint 2010, I wanted to write down a couple of thoughts for posterity on SharePoint 2007 development, mainly for my benefit. One of the reasons for doing this is because I’ve been working with the SP2010/VS2010 Tech Previews recently, and whilst I’ve not done a full “compare and contrast” exercise, I can certainly see that in the future I will want to reference back to how I liked to handle something in the SharePoint 2007 world, and more importantly, why. My experience is that transitioning to a new platform brings on a certain amnesia, where for… -
Personal announcements from me
30 Sep 2009 | 8:08 amI know not all of my blog readers follow me on Twitter (though if you are a SharePoint Twitteree, I’m @ChrisO_Brien), so I just wanted to post something here to say that last week I became a proud Dad, to twin boys! They came early by emergency caesarean – personally I knew Suzanne shouldn’t have had that last piece of chocolate cake. They initially had low blood sugar levels (not related to the cake, I should add!) so we had to stay in hospital a day or so longer than normal whilst things stabilized, but in general everyone is healthy and happy. It’s funny to wonder if SharePoint… -
Minor updates to Content Deployment Wizard and Config Store
3 Sep 2009 | 4:26 pmI’m a firm believer that if you build community tools which become important to folks, you’ve got to do your best to maintain them – providing source code is great, but it’s far better if you take on the maintenance/enhancements workload! So this is a brief post for users of my SharePoint Content Deployment Wizard and Config Store utilities. Both of these have recently been updated on Codeplex, and depending on circumstances you may want to ensure the latest versions are what you have in your toolbox. I’ll explain the changes I noted in the readme.txt of the respective updates here:…

Monkey Fun with Exchange Server 2007
22 May 2009 | 9:59 amEver try to rename a server with Exchange 2007 installed? Don't even think about it!After spending the good part of a day setting up a nice clean MOSS development VM (W2K3x64/VS2008/Office), I decided to add Exchange Server 2007 to the mix just to play with managed folders and the most excellent Messaging Records Management (MRM) support layer. Got everything installed and configured. So far so good. Then got around to configuring email in MOSS and decided the server name needed to be changed because of a conflict with another server that I'll typically have running…

A simple way to improve your estimating (and a cool pub trick) – Conclusion
10 Nov 2009 | 5:18 pm…and we’re back! Well… that was a long commercial break wasn’t it In case you missed part 1 of our version of the show “deal or no deal”, you missed the big cliff-hanger and you really should read part 1 first. For the rest of you, to quickly recap, I came out of the closet and admitted by secret teenybopper shame, told the world that my wife had a teenage thing for Jean Claude Van Damme, showed the effect of beer goggles and introduced the notion of cognitive bias and how it can affect judgement. i also demonstrated how, by altering the frame of reference, to a problem something… -
A simple way to improve your estimating (and a cool pub trick) – Part 1
9 Nov 2009 | 6:09 amOkay I’ll admit it, I used to really suck as a time and effort estimator. I happen to have a business partner who is much better at it than me (hey Peter), and every time I sought a second opinion from him on my estimates, he would almost always make a much less optimistic assessment then me. Of course, Peter was almost always right too, dammit. So, why was Peter much more accurate with his estimates? The answer to this question, all one has to do is think back to their teenage years, where they went through that awkward stage where you look back and cringe at the posters that were on your… -
Academic writing styles…

Essentially I always am looking for stuff that might augment Dialogue Mapping and improve my facilitation and analytical skills. I am in the middle of an online article that has been a bit of a struggle, so I stopped to write this quick post. Some of the stuff that I have been reading is really good – brilliant in fact, but sadly, no-one will ever know. The great sad irony is that sense-making tools and methods are there to help… -
“Folders are bad” and other urban legends…
30 Sep 2009 | 3:35 amHi all This post is somewhat related to the whole “Zen and the art of SharePoint governance” idea where the notion of a “best practice” is so culture and context dependent that the worst practice is to insist that your best practice applies universally . Let me explain with this example. Consider two problem/solution scenarios, A and B. Scenario A: We have a technically inferior solution with a really deep commitment to that solution by the stakeholders and participants Scenario B: We have a technically superior solution with “uneven” commitment to that solution by the… -
The practice of Dialogue Mapping – Part 4
26 Sep 2009 | 6:31 pmThree weeks ago my plasma TV broke, freeing the family from the magic spell of hi-def television. My family took the loss in different ways. My four year old was devastated at the lack of Nintendo Wii, and constantly whined about being bored. My ten year old is a bookworm anyway, and continued to be one. I suddenly found mountains of time to write, churning out three Dialogue Mapping articles that I had been meaning to write for ages. Today the repair man came and fixed the TV. I expect that the glow of the plasma screen will once again induce that zombie-like state, where my work-rate is…

Faith in humanity

First I left Boston last week on Thursday and I was so rushed that I forgot to pack my two external hard drives. Instead, I left them on the desk in my room at the Marriott Courtyard. I did not realize what had happened until Saturday night and when I called the hotel, they told me that I had to call the “Lost and Found” department the next morning at 9 AM. At 9:00… -

Ten Things DBAs will LOVE in SharePoint 2010 #TEE09
10 Nov 2009 | 8:43 amI did a session yesterday on SharePoint in the SQL track at Teched Europe in Berlin.

Is Gradual Upgrade in SharePoint 2010 Really Dead? How is Upgrade Better?
4 Nov 2009 | 4:06 pmIn the Upgrade to SharePoint 2007 there were 3 popular methods. In Place, Gradual, and Database Attach. In place was a scenario that many of us took as a no starter and many of us even went so far as to say NEVER do it. Now the message is there are two methods for upgrade. In place and Database attach. Despite the fact that gradual upgrade as we knew it is dead, what we got from gradual upgrade we still have. What do I mean? There is NO supported method to run both the 2007 and 2010 bits side by side. That’s true. So definitely not side by side installations. There is also…

SharePoint 2010 List View Blog Series: Part 1 – Introduction to the new List View

I am excited to kick-off a new blog series that will cover a wide spectrum of topics related to the new List View in SharePoint 2010. What is a List View again? Put simply, a List View is a view for displaying SharePoint list data. The concept of List View has been around since SharePoint v2. While there are other technologies being used for visualizing list data in different scenarios (e.g. Content Query Web Part), List View remains the default component for displaying list data in SharePoint 2010. List Views can be spotted… -

Putting the SharePoint in SharePoint Designer
19 Oct 2009 | 6:36 pmFor those of you who have been with us for the long haul, you know SharePoint Designer (SPD) evolved from the FrontPage product. The result of this lineage was SPD 2007 largely focused on web page editing and added some SharePoint capabilities. In SPD 2010, we increased our investment in SharePoint capabilities and focused on exposing the power of SharePoint to both power users and developers alike. SharePoint has always been about the democratization of web development - think of SPD 2010 as furthering that goal. Figure 1. SPD's new shell focuses more on SharePoint objects and less on… -
Service Pack 2 prevents an on-change workflow from starting itself
13 Jul 2009 | 2:38 pmHello all, Stephen here again — I’m a writer for SharePoint Designer. I’d like to tell you about a fix that was included in Service Pack 2 for Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. This fix affects workflows designed in SharePoint Designer 2007. Then I’ll show you how to intentionally create a workflow loop by using two workflows instead of one. Before Service Pack 2, it was too easy to inadvertently design a workflow that triggered itself and created an infinite loop. For example, consider this scenario: 1) A workflow starts when an item is changed. 2)… -

CMIS Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) – Public Review of Version 1.0 begins
8 Nov 2009 | 9:46 pmAround two-and-a-half years ago (at the AIIM conference in Philadelphia in May of 2006), my counterparts at IBM and EMC and I started discussing the need to form a group to create an open services standard for interacting with Enterprise Content Management systems (like SharePoint, IBM FileNet P8, EMC Documentum, etc.) in a uniform way. An earlier blog post explained the full rationale – but in short many customers and partners made it apparent that having to create one-off "connectors" between each application (like eDiscovery applications, Portals or Business Process Management systems)… -
Publishing Sites: Field Controls or Web Parts... That is the Question!
9 Oct 2008 | 12:40 amThere isn't a week that goes by where I don't get an email asking me this very question. More often than not, its because someone has been using the Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) when they should have been using the Publishing HTML field type. This mistake typically goes unnoticed until a customer needs to roll back to a previous version of a page or when they run a content deployment job. So what goes wrong? Well, the CEWP doesn't store version history, it doesn't participate in any publishing approval workflow and it does store absolute URLs rather than… -

The goal of CMIS is to define a web services standard for interacting with Enterprise Content Management systems like Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, EMC Documentum, IBM FileNet P8, etc. Why: Integrating multiple ECM systems is hard We've heard from many organizations that want to use SharePoint, but… -

SharePoint 2010 Platform Differentiation
9 Nov 2009 | 7:27 amThere are many vendors that claim to have an enterprise collaboration platform. So what differentiates SharePoint? Each vendor can defend their features, their interoperability investments and developer stack. So instead of focusing on specific features, I wanted to lay out what I think are three broad areas of differentiation for SharePoint vs. any other vendor platform out there: 1. Real Choice: Anywhere, Anytime, Anyhow To some it may seem surprising, but SharePoint offers more choice to users & customers than any other vendor out there. - End Users can choose to access and… -

Coding against a Document Set
16 Nov 2009 | 1:56 amI’ve just had a 5 day training on development for SharePoint 2010. We’ve seen some cool stuff, were able to do some Hands on Labs and talk to other SharePoint experts about the new stuff that is coming up. One of the best things though about this training was the ability to try some stuff out for yourself. The fact that no project managers or customers were bothering me for a week allowed me to finally take the time to look around in the object model, the central admin and the new front end interfaces. Over the next few week I’ll be publishing some post on the things I’ve tried out. I…

SharePoint 2010: #SPC09 - SSP is dead, long live Service Applications!

This is my personal interpretation of what has been said during the presentation. Don't shoot me if I interpreted something wrong:-)In SharePoint 2010 Shared Service Providers (SSP's) are replaced by Service Applications. Services are no longer combined into a SSP. Services are running independent as a service application.So in MOSS 2007:SSP: combines services like Search, Excel Services, User Profiles, ... into a shared service provider.In SharePoint 2010:Service Applications: services like… -

ClientAccessPolicy file in SharePoint 2010
18 Nov 2009 | 7:04 amI am upgrading my Silverlight demo code from the old beta to beta 2 and see that there are a few new considerations for the deployment of ClientAccessPolicy.xml files. In a previous post I demonstrated how to do this for SharePoint 2007. The heartburn that I get with that approach is any site collection owner or designer can drag the file into the site collection and open the site up to unwanted client access issues. In 2010 the virtual path provider no longer serves the files from the root of the site collection. In SharePoint 2010 you simply deploy the file to the root of the web… -

Announcing the Outlook Social Connector
18 Nov 2009 | 12:40 pmAs someone who is a big fan of LinkedIn, SharePoint and social computing, I can state unequivocally that I was blown away by the news today about the Outlook Social Connector in Outlook 2010. Read the full details here. Needless to say, it takes what for me is a very manual (but very important) process (i.e. staying connected with my network) and puts it in an interface (Outlook) that I stare at all day long. This will change the way I work… and I think it will change you too! -
Syncing Your Blackberry with Microsoft Online Email
29 Oct 2009 | 2:44 amHave you heard about Microsoft BPOS (Business Productivity Online Suite)? If not, you will soon! BPOS is a service that allows access to standard Microsoft technologies like Exchange, SharePoint, LiveMeeting and Office Communicator "in the cloud" (meaning they are hosted external to your company and are accessible via the internet). As someone who has kicked the tires on how these really work for day-to-day business activities, I have been very impressed. That said, there is always a technical challenge to talk about... I needed to find a way to sync a Blackberry with… -
Living in SharePoint “Mixed Mode”
17 Oct 2009 | 4:21 amIt was 3 years ago this month that I configured and deployed my first SharePoint 2007 solution (running on beta software). At the time, I told myself that for some short amount of time I needed to live in SharePoint “mixed mode” (term stolen from the SQL Server authentication option). To me, “mixed mode” meant having to support customers who were running SharePoint 2003 or 2007. The challenge with it, of course, is differences in functionality, administration and general configuration. Do you know what? I’m still living in “mixed mode” (supporting… -
Sunday Morning Business Intelligence Lesson
4 Oct 2009 | 4:37 amFirst, apologizes to my non-sports fan readers. I, too, get that face tightening, head turning expression when a corporate executive tries to relate business performance to some sports concept. However, in this case, there is a lesson (I hope!)… It’s football season. That means that I, like many other sports geeks, manage a fantasy football team (where the goal is to assemble a collection of NFL football players, aggregate their performance statistics and hope that this week’s total point value is greater than your opponent’s). All this, at least in my case,… -
Budgeting for SharePoint 2010

Here is my first piece on budgeting for SharePoint 2010... http://tek-tips.nethawk.net/blog/budgeting-for-sharepoint-2010 Here in New England the foliage has begun to appear, signaling two things: flurries are not far behind and it is budget season.

Setting up SharePoint 2010 - Including what hardware to get.
25 Oct 2009 | 10:48 amThe public beta for SharePoint 2010 is out in 2-3 weeks, so if you don't have the hardware ready already, here's what I did. Although this is not what you'd do in production it is nice and simple. I bought a Dell Precision 390 on eBay for about €300.It had no monitor I connected my main monitor to it temporarily when installing everything, then remote desktoped to it after that.I put 8GB of RAM in it. I bought that on www.memoryc.com (about another €120). Putting RAM in a machine is easy. Just get the right type, see how many slots are in the server, then put it in and reboot. Note if… -

SharePoint so simple your mum could understand it.

24 Jul 2009 | 6:26 amCan't give away anything at all, since this is a very closed beta, but this is one very nice slick UI and blasts SharePoint into the future. Woo hoo! I'll be going to the SharePoint conference in Vegas in October: http://www.mssharepointconference.com/Pages/default.aspx not because I plan on having any fun as well, oh no :-) but just to learn what I can and be involved in the launch. Very glad I got out of website design in 2001, this is way more interesting!

CAML query not considering time for Date and time field
29 Oct 2009 | 1:16 amIf you’re having trouble constructing your CAML query and you have a DateTime field with time enabled, the important fact that plain <Value Type="DateTime">2009-10-28T10:00:00Z</Value> will ignore the time part of the query. It is useful for querying whole days. If Time part of the DateTime field is also important to consider (you’re querying specific time of the day, you have to add parameter IncludeTimeValue="TRUE" parameter. So the whole CAML node would be <Value IncludeTimeValue="TRUE"… -
SharePoint Lookup field: how does it work and how to add JavaScript event handler function to it?
25 Oct 2009 | 3:23 pmDue to a lot of comments and questions to my last year’s post about Attaching functions to SharePoint form fields concerning especially lookup fields on which the demo was made, I’ve decided to take a deeper dive into SharePoint’s Lookup Field and how to manipulate it client-side, since it behaves different in different situations. On the image below you can see two lookup fields – rendered different. Even though new SharePoint is about to go public beta I’ll still show how to handle this in SharePoint 3.0 or 2007 How does it work? Before explaining how to attach a functon or event… -
MOSS Lanugage pack installation without CD/DVD
14 Sep 2009 | 3:14 amMOSS 2007 Lanugage Pack comes in .img format, which you can burn to a CD and then use it for installing Language pack. If you’re working remotely or working with a server that has no CD/DVD drive, this might pose a slight problem. You can avoid this in a simple way: 1. Rename the .img file into an .iso file. 2. Download 7-zip portable version and extract the executable to a folder on your server desktop. 3. Navigate to the extracted folder and run 7-ZipPortable.exe. 4. Browse and open (double-click) the renamed .iso file 5. You can extract all files from the .iso to another folder on your… -
Highlight weekends in list view
29 Aug 2009 | 1:54 amThis trick works with a list view (not calendar view) of any list that has dates. It doesn’t work in a calendar view of a list. We’ll need jquery for this script to work. So if you don’t have jquery uploaded you can download it from jquery.com. The way I usually add it to the site is by creating a document library for “system” files in this demo I’ll create a llibrary called sys. When the .js file is uploaded copy its location. Easiest is by right-clicking the document link and selecting “Copy Shortcut”. Now let’s open the list view of the calendar. Now we create an…

SharePoint Blank in a SharePoint 2010 World
20 Nov 2009 | 8:51 amBefore I go any further, I should apologize for my longer than intended absence from SharePoint Blank. You see, the thing is that SharePoint 2010 ate my homework. No, actually, a better and more truthful explanation would be that I was eaten by the monster of SharePoint 2010. Which is not to say that SharePoint 2010 is (or will be) a monster. Unless we're talking "monster" in the sense of "monster hit," in which case, yes, I do genuinely believe that SharePoint 2010 is going to be a monster. Let's back up, shall we? As you can probably… -

At least it isn't Friday 13th tomorrow (which is considered unlucky in the UK), it was last Friday though when I was banged from behind for the third Friday in four weeks. Ok the middle one was me reversing into my Office Talk colleague, Frank Fauld's car. But not all bad things come in threes and in this week's blog I am going to show you a classic SharePoint 1-2-3.1.

SharePoint Training Pays Off
30 Oct 2009 | 7:06 amBrad Guzan is probably not a name known to many of you, but on Tuesday night he incredibly saved FOUR penalties for Aston Villa to help them beat Sunderland and reach the last eight of the Carling Cup. Yes he is Villa’s brilliant American goalkeeper named ‘Brad’, the one who isn’t Brad Friedel. So how did Mr. Guzan, who only plays in cup games, manage to save four penalties from four different players? He puts it all down to training and practicing saving penalties every day. So when you are thinking of how to get the best out of your SharePoint project team make sure you train them… -
Please Backup SharePoint - A Bang From Behind

A lady of 'advancing years' had unfortunately clipped the back of the car and within minutes we were exchanging insurance details and assessing the damage. As the lady was fully insured there was no need to panic as everything was covered, but I started thinking what if she had been one of those many UNINSURED drivers? This was a reminder to me of how important it is to make sure you have your SharePoint fully… -
SharePoint Passes the Test
9 Oct 2009 | 8:56 amThis week saw me having a fairly routine if slightly unpleasant hospital test and this got me thinking about two SharePoint topics. Firstly, the importance in any SharePoint Project of a ‘Test Environment’ where you can try new things out and learn how things work. The second SharePoint thought I had was how they stored all the x-rays (digital images) and sent them to the relevant GPs. Was this an opportunity for Digital Asset Management (DAM) in SharePoint like I discussed in last week’s blog. To my surprise on my hospital visit as I entered the X-ray room, dressed in my fetching… -

SharePoint Virtualization
12 Nov 2009 | 11:53 amAll of Your Eggs in One Basket? Every time a new version of a virtualization tool comes out, people get all excited about the possibility of reducing the costs of running their data centers.

This is all well and good, but then you run into what I call "the new hammer syndrome". The idea is, after you buy a new hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. You keep thinking of ways to apply this new tool. Some of them are… -

While I was in Las Vegas, I received word that my grandmother on my mom's side (my last grandparent) had passed away. This caps a series of three losses for me and my family over the past few weeks. In addition to my grandmother, Mary Cary Rudes, I lost and attended services for my uncle, Dr. Les Meyer, and my brother's wife's father, Tom Moore. Each, in their own way, spent much of their lives helping others. My…

SPDevWiki and SPAdmWiki moving to SharePoint 2010 Beta 2!
12 Nov 2009 | 11:06 am[Cross Posted] With the "very close" release of SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 with a go-live license I'm pleased to announce that the SharePointDevWiki.com and SharePointAdminWiki.com will be migrating to the new platform! Why is this good for you...well when you are contributing to the new site you'll be using the new SharePoint 2010 platform for starters! Going back over old ground the reason I didn't use SharePoint 2007 for the platform was due to its limitations. Now most of these have gone away...but there is some work to get it up to where I want it to be. So I'll be writing add-ons… -
SharePoint SPSource bonnet open
29 Oct 2009 | 8:23 pmIf you have been using SPSource to reverse engineer Content Types, Site Columns, Module (files), List Templates etc. please take some time to provide some feedback over at CodePlex. I have the bonnet up on the source this weekend fixing some loose ends. SP… what? If you haven’t used SPSource…why not? ;-) Seriously check out the webcast (list template demo) to get an idea of what this can do for your Development Lifecycle. #SP2010 I’ll be upgrading this tool so that it works with SP2010. I will also be looking at cool ways to integrate it with VS2010 as well and also with WSPBuilder… -
SharePoint 2010 is one greedy beast…and will block adoption
27 Oct 2009 | 9:03 pmSo I saw the Setting Up a Development environment for SharePoint 2010 was posted on MSDN. I nearly fell off my chair when I read this: “In any development environment, you should use a computer with an x64-capable CPU, and at least 2 gigabytes (GB) and preferably 4 GB of RAM for SharePoint Foundation, and 6 to 8 GB of RAM for SharePoint Server.” I think it’s great that Microsoft have been so honest and realistic with these figures, as MOSS2007 recommended RAM was 1Gb, which was a load of tripe! To give some history on this, I currently battle daily with customers to set up SharePoint… -
The 12 factors to turn ASP.NET developers to SharePoint 2010
26 Oct 2009 | 1:48 pmI’ve already posted a webcast and created a wiki page that has caused a lot of discussion on the wiki on “How ASP.NET developers can leverage the SharePoint 2007 Platform”. This post will reflect on the SharePoint 2010 conference last week and to nominate 12 factors that will hopefully be the tipping point for ASP.NET developers to start leveraging the SharePoint 2010 platform. I will be using my ASP.NET Readify colleagues as a good bench mark on how successful the adoption of development in SharePoint 2010 platform is because these guys are classed as the elite of Australia. One thing… -
Thoughts on SharePoint Conference 2009
25 Oct 2009 | 9:33 pmSo I’m sitting at San Francisco airport, terrible international area by the way *sigh*. Anyways, thought I would start to write my thoughts on #SPC09. The Keynote It was very exciting to see Steve Ballmer start the keynote off with so much energy and knowledge of the platform, but it slowly went from him being very business focused to the other guys coming on and jumping directly into a technical extravaganza. Internet Facing Sites Steve managed to shock me by stating that “MOSS2007 was never built for Internet Facing sites”…even though MCMS2003 was migrated into that product which…

SEF 2009 Recap
17 Nov 2009 | 4:55 amSharePoint and Exchange Forum 2009 (#SEF09) is over and I’m pretty tired but really excited. Two full days, here in Stockholm, Sweden, of SharePoint 2010 information with some awesome speakers and topics. SEF09 was a great conference, about 200 participants – just about the right size to have the time to chat with a lot of people and having a good time. This year the SEF conference also was the official launch of Exchange 2010 and the first larger showing of SharePoint 2010 bits in Sweden. As an extra bonus the SharePoint 2010 beta 2 bits were released during the Monday night party, and… -

Last Service Pack for PerformancePoint Server 2007 is out
15 Oct 2009 | 7:25 amThe long awaited service pack for PerformancePoint Server 2007 is now released to the web - Service Pack 3. This is the last service pack for PerformancePoint Server since the PerformancePoint Server bits will from next week be turned into PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint 2010. Service Pack 3 is the last update to the standalone version of PerformancePoint, which was announced in January this year when Microsoft changed their BI strategy. After this update Microsoft will not invest any further into the 2007 version and as you hopefully are aware of - the Planning module will not exist… -
Useful Delegate Controls in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
7 Oct 2009 | 5:18 amDelegate Controls in SharePoint is a blessing when you are customizing the features and interface of SharePoint. The Delegate Controls are areas in the out-of-the-box SharePoint pages where you are allowed to inject your own controls. This is heavily used by Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, which essentially is a set of features on top of Windows SharePoint Services. For example the standard WSS user information page redirects to the MOSS My Site, this redirection is done by inserting a delegate control into a specific delegate control on the userdisp.aspx page. This nifty delegate… -
How to export and reuse the Data View Web Part
2 Oct 2009 | 8:07 pmInspired by the latest SharePoint PodShow topic; The SharePoint Data View Web Part-Episode 31 and Laura Rogers post on building a permissions dashboard I just had to write this post. In the last paragraph Laura quickly mentions how you can reuse the created Data View Web Part. I think this is really important to know how to export and import this Web Part. What I don't want people to do is to fire up SharePoint Designer and create these Data View Web Parts in the production environment so that the pages get's unghosted or customized. Also when you are working with solutions packages and…

ASP.NET 4.0: Writing custom output cache providers
19 Nov 2009 | 4:48 amUntil now we can use ASP.NET default output cache. We don’t have any option to write our own output cache mechanisms. ASP.NET 4.0 introduces extensible output cache – programmers can write their own output cache providers. In this posting I will show you how to write your own output cache provider and give you my sample solution to download. Preparing Before we begin with caching we need Visual Studio 2010 solution that has two projects – one web application and one class library. Class library is for output cache provider and web application is for testing purposes. My solution uses… -
Loading Enterprise Library validation rules from external file
15 Nov 2009 | 1:54 amKeeping validation rules in web.config may grow it pretty long and it is not convenient to make changes there anymore. Developers can manage validation rules easily by using Enterprise Library Configuration tool and therefore there is no good reason to handle validation rules manually. In this posting I will show you how to load validation rules from external configuration files. Creating file for validation rules Create new XML-file to your project and name it as Validation.config. I suggest .config extension because IIS blocks all requests to configuration files. Run Enterprise Library… -

Visual Studio 2010: Visualizing dependencies
5 Nov 2009 | 5:19 amVisual Studio 2010 introduces new and cool feature – architecture diagrams that visualize dependencies between assemblies, namespaces and classes. In this posting I will show you how these diagrams look like and provide some explanations about how to read them. I tested architecture diagrams (or should I say dependency diagrams?) with one of my small projects. Okay, I tried to visualize dependencies found in source code of KiGG too but it was too big for current implementation of dependency visualizer. But for smaller projects it works pretty well. You can find these diagrams from…

SPC09 Recap and My SharePoint 2010 Top 5 List
26 Oct 2009 | 8:09 pmThe four day SharePoint 2010 reveal-athon is over, and I'm back to a boring and completely regular MOSS 2007 lifestyle. Okay, so it's not that dramatic, but I am definitely feeling a desire to switch completely over to 2010 for just about everything relating to SharePoint. There was tons of great content on display during the SharePoint Conference in Vegas last week. I'll be pouring over the on-demand sessions for weeks I'm sure, so this is only the beginning for the 2010 learning process. There are some good resources popping up on the net about everyone's favorite features about 2010, so I…
