Sharepoint

So my current project is a Sharepoint gig. I'm not really a Sharepoint guy, I think of my area as more of an AppDev type, large scale systems, etc.... but Sharepoint is big now so I've picked it up..... Not too complicated of a project, some custom workflow stuff built around the event mechanism of Document Libraries (can't take credit for thinking that one up, I ripped off a non-working but nearly-there demo of a workflow we got from Microsoft for Sharepoint 2003 beta. A few tweaks and I can use most of it....) The one cool thing I've done with this project is I needed the same kind of event firing that Document Libraries can do for other lists as well..... Hmmmm. It would seem like Microsoft was thinking along these lines, but only implemented the events for Doc libs. Odd since under the covers EVERYTHING in Sharepoint is a list... At any rate, I was able to add it in. One of these days I'll write up a little paper about it and post it here, or here. MSD2D is a pretty useful site, they've even got a tip from me there, but don't hold that against them, or me.... ;)

At any rate, if you're looking to do this kind of thing, know that it is possible, but you have to jump through a few hoops....

Yes please do that! I am also looking for some implementation ideas on how to do this! The closest things I have found was a MS-Spain presentation that was given at the Sharepoint DevCon in April2003 where the author makes mention of how to do it and a few screen shots but no actual code :( Also Patrick T. of u2u.net in Belguim has a module in his Sharepoint course on Workflow...
