Whilst developing some code in ID-Sharepoint to programatically create content types I came across one of those things that, as a Sharepoint developer, make you MAD! I was accessing a content type using code like this : SPContentType contentTypeWotIWantToChange = web.AvailableContentTypes("ContentTypeWotIWantToChange"); I then coded up the addition of a couple of site columns to […]
I’ve just received the following email from "SharePoint User Group UK" Hi all, IMPORTANT – London Meeting – change of plan!!! ========================== I’m afraid that Dux hasn’t got his UK visa returned on time for Thursdays meeting so we are having to move it to a virtual event. You can now watch the presentations from […]
Working my way through a SharePoint development, I had cause to refer to the book "Inside Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0" written by Ted Pattison & Daniel Larson. Whil looking up the info I needed I saw a section on page 33 entitles "Restarting an Application Pool". This section describes how using iisreset restarts […]
If you’re hoping to debug code that you’re deploying to SharePoint you’re gonna need too know which w3wp.exe (the code that runs the web app that runs your code) to connect to. The reason you may not know which w3wp.exe to connect to is that each app pool runs a new instance of w3wp.exe and […]

After styling up the data which included adding an HTML anchor element, I saved the page and switched to the web site to see it in action. When the page refreshed I was presented with […]
I’ve been using the Business Data Catalog for the last few days to allow Sharepoint (SP) to crawl a SQL Database "data island". Using the BDC Metaman, I created the Application Definition File (an xml description of the database tables and relationships), then imported them using SP Central Admin, this process creates an Application […]
I spent yesterday looking at the use of Silverlight in Sharepoint without too much success. I got cracking on my WSS VPC and started by building a simple Silverlight app using VS2008. The Silverlight app template will build either a web site or a single html page which hosts your Silverlight app. This all […]
So I’ve set out to write a bit of code that will periodically pull data from a WCF service and insert it in to SP. The code will be executed by the SP Timer Service to gain the scheduling ability of that service. I didn’t want to add the generated WCF config to the web.config […]
I’ve started to get into Microsoft SharePoint and I’m currently developing using the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 Developer Evaluation VPC Image here. I’ve added Visual Studio 2008 Developer edition and connected it to our Team Foundation Server. I’ve also downloaded and installed the SharePoint Guidance – November 2008 which is here. I intend […]
