From Andrew Connell:

This page contains links and resources specific to Web Content Management (WCM). WCM part of a larger Enterprise Content Management (ECM) strategy that's part of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. MOSS is built on top of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) v3.

Office DevCon: Day 1, Part 1

Steve Bargelt — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 18:06:00 GMT

Keynote: Pretty typical keynote session – BillG and Steven Sinofsky talked at a pretty high level – explaining some of the business reasons that we should adopt Office 2007. Yeah – yawn. The most notable announcements were that we will be getting Visual Studio Tools for Office v3 CTP – very cool. I’ve been bitching for months about the apparent lack of Visual Studio support in Office 12 (and vise-versa). Looks like I was bitching for nothing (what is new?).

Keynote part deux: Kurt DelBene – another lame marketing-speak keynote. Okay that was a bit harsh… probably not seserved. One thing that stuck with me here was at the end Kurt demonstrated an application that was built without code! Hey WAIT a minute – you are speaking at a DEVELOPER conference. I thought that was a stupid move. Forget India – Microsoft might be putting us out of work! Anyway – Kurt also talked about a SharePoint VSIP that will allow you to work with the OSS object model in Visual Studio… wow my day is only getting better! Okay – one more – us Professional Developers (MSFT’s term for dudes who use Visual Studio) will also be getting an Infopath designer plug-in (add-in? VSIP?) for Visual Studio. This is awesome.

In another demo Kurt showed some features of Live Communications Server – one in which you can group individuals into a group IM account – think “help desk.” His example has a web part on a site (a wiki – a new SP template out of the box) that showed the status of the “help desk” IM account. If any one of the help desk individuals was available the presence icon showed available – if they are all busy the icon showed busy. This allowed the end user to IM the help desk to ask a question about the site he was on and the question was answered by a Help Desk account. Very cool.

TechEd 2006 - here we come

Steve Bargelt — Thu, 16 Mar 2006 21:19:00 GMT

Well I’m all set and ready for TechEd 2006 in Boston. There are approximately 12 of us going from the team I work on. Should be a blast.

One disappointment so far is that both Red Sox games on the weekend before TechEd are sold out! Damn! We really wanted to hit the Sunday (6/11) 2:05 game versus Texas. If anyone out there in the metaverse has extra tix for that game – let me know!

SharePoint Team Blog : Page Anatomy

Awesome post about OSS page anatomy!

[from this post: SharePoint Team Blog : Page Anatomy]

No this post is not about a popular TV show! We'll cover the integrated framework we are using in the next release of SPS + CMS (breaking news - now officially Office SharePoint Server 2007 - I will cover that in a second post later today) to enable people to create, manage and publish the spectrum of very simple to very sophisticated internet sites. We've learned a lot from a variety of customer feedback on ASP.NET, WSS, SPS, CMS, FrontPage and more and hopefully brought this all together in a powerful way. Let's go through them piece by piece.

ASP.NET 2.0 and MCMS - Site Navigation - Part 1

This article replaces my earlier article about MCMS Navigation Providers which I have written while ASP.NET 2.0 was in Beta 2. After Beta 2 a couple of things have changed which prevent the earlier code from working properly with the final version of ASP.NET 2.0.

Stefan Goßner : Glitches with MCMS 2002 Service Pack 2

It is not possible to install the MCMS 2002 developer tools on a system that has SP2 installed. The developer tools have to be installed with MCMS 2002 SP1a and then the system has to be upgraded to Service Pack 2.
If developer tools need to be added to a system that has already SP2 installed you need to follow these steps:
1. Uninstall MCMS 2002 SP2
2. ensure that Visual Studio 2003 (or Visual Studio 2002) is installed
3. Run “Change/Remove” from Add/Remove Programs on MCMS 2002 SP1a (Using the SP1a CD to access required files)
4. Change the existing installation, and select Developer Tools as the feature to add
5. Re-install MCMS 2002 SP2
