Tools

There are 16 entries for the tag Tools
I am actually pleased that today we have a bit of variety in tools that can generate BDC Application Definitions. An addition to this list of tools is "MOSS BDC Design Studio" by Simego, which actually quite good and easy to use. The site offers a 14 day trial version, and prices aren't that bad (but me thinks it should priced more a little bit more reasonably). But still for all the tool is quite good, it seems to be limited to SQL Server and WebServices which is a limitation. The other limitation...

Tools written in Csharp for Video and Audio work. Check it out - http://moitah.net/. There's some cool stuff there (if you are into that kinda thing anyways) Technorati tags: audio, video, tools, csharp, .net Cross-posted from tariqayad.com...

I came across this tool from JOPX's list of SharePoint Tools (see my previous posting). Its a good thing I did, since now this is my favorite new SharePoint tool. It helps that I am playing around with Search these days to put the tool to good use. Thanks for the link Joris, and speschka you rule Technorati tags: MOSS, SHarePoint, Search Cross-posted from tariqayad.com...

Joris has update his list of SharePoint Tools. This time its more shiny and uber than before. He provides a very upto date aggregation of the tools available for MOSS that are out there. Check it out. http://jopx.blogspot.com/20... Technorati tags: SharePoint, MOSS, Tools Cross-posted from tariqayad.com...

Had issues debugging a web application on Vista, it kept complaining that Integrated Authentication was necessary. So goggled around and came across this post on Rick's Strahl's blog, and decided to install VS2005 SP1. The VS2005 SP1 setup experience in my case was horrible. it ended up being a memory hog brought the machine down to near halt, and that was just the setup initialization. I would advise folks to run the setup overnight if all they got is 1GB of Ram on their Vista boxes/notebook. So...

Anyone interested in photography and who has a great appreciation for Flickr will like the listiting o f Flickr tools on the PCHere blog

If you havent seen it yet MSBee Beta has been release. Check it out here http://www.gotdotnet.com/co... In addition to this there are 2 additional tools that the MSBee team have apprently published. These are (in their own words) “Managed Stack Explorer MSE is a lightweight tool for monitoring .NET 2.0 processes and stack traces. Just copy and run. No installation required. Download Managed Stack Explorer v1.1 TFS Admin Tool (Joe's...

Hey, do you remember sometime back I was searching for some CAML tools. I think I have found them. Patrick's got one at U2U and Stramit's got one too. btw, Patrick, I think you need to mention that CAML testing will only work on the same box as SharePoint is installed on. Same problem on my tool (because it uses the SP API, not the WebServices), but I am sure we SP Devs dont mind ;) Stramit's blog posting has some other cool tools as well...

Here is a list of 'command prompt' commands and tools I found. http://www.networkclue.com/... Needless to say most of them run on Server 2003

Maurice shares some thoughts on what most probably might be with the next Version of SharePoint. He also mentions vaguely the nuance of developing and deploying WebParts. The fact is SharePoint v Next will built on the next version of Asp.net. I am sure that most of you would agree that WSS is today what it is because of Asp.net. The move up from SPS 2001 or STS to SharePoint 2003 was phenomenal. All that productivity capabilities just opened up with the 2003 versions. I suspect that we can look...

I am not sure if this has been already done, but I think it’s about high time someone started consolidating a list of tools that are out for SharePoint. I am thinking of something similar to the SharpToolbox. Of course the list will not be huge like the CSharp list at SharpToolbox, but I think we’ve got enough to go around. So let me start it off by providing the ones I know, you guys can contribute by adding the ones you know to the comments system of this post, and I will update the...

Was catching up on my Rss feeds and noticed that there we a bunch of SharePoint tools released, almost as if it was Christmas already. Here is the list with my first impressions SharePoint Explorer This is a neat tool except for one annoying issue i.e.; the lack of validation specially for entering the ‘SharePoint Url’ in the Settings tab. If the URL is entered without a trailing ‘/’ it throws an exception, and oh yes when you enter your credentials for the WebService to use make sure nobody is looking...

OK I admit it,I am a big fan of the 'run command' (Win Key + R). In fact I probably use it much more than the Start Menu. I mean for all those programs that are so deep into start-menu, the 'run command' becomes so very convenient for day-to-day work. for instance - IIS Manager is : Win Key + R -> InetMgr in contrast to Start -> [All Program] -> Administrative Tools -> IIS Manger - Visual Studio is : Win Key + R -> devenv in contrast to Start -> All Programs -> MS Visual Studio.Net...

If you aren’t already aware, IISToolshed has a good list of tools for IIS...

One of the nice things about SharePoint is that there are many ways of accessing the data. The most obvious is of course the web interface, but to accomplish thight integration with for example Office 2003, SharePoint offers a bunch of web services. These web services provide identically functionality as you get using the web interface; everything you can do in the web interface is possible using the web services! A nice example of the use of these web services is the integration with Office 2003....

Deploying WebParts after you make a build is a bit of a hassle especially because you have to leave you IDE to do a couple of things. The basic process is you need to 1. Compile 2. Install the assembly to the GAC 3. Copy assembly to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bin 4. Recycle the MS SharePoint default app pool - to invoke the new instance of the assembly -> Typically you will have to switch between VS.NET, InetMgr, and the command prompt. So here’s what I do. 1. My WebPart projects have their default...
