You want the RAD wonderfulness of a visual web part, but it needs to be deployed as a Sandboxed solution. Problem? No, SharePoint powertools for visual studio to the rescue! http://goo.gl/pQ9ct There are a couple limitations, read the above page, nothing major. e.g. 1. Javascript debugging is not supported 2. Debugging asp.net code is not supported. 3. Use of <% Assembly Src= is not supported I understand it does it by adding the markup as an embedded resource, but I haven't actually tried it...
If you didn’t know, you probably will soon, the SPGridView is not available in Sandboxed solutions. To be honest there doesn’t seem to be a great deal of information out there about the whys and what nots, basically its not part of the Sandbox SharePoint API. Of course the error message from SharePoint is about as useful as punch in the face… An unexpected error has been encountered in this Web Part. Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. You don't have...
I should start by saying that this is not recommended way of changing a database server in SharePoint, as you can see from the below link, they recommend to set up SQL alias on each server. http://technet.microsoft.co... I’m not really sure about this as a solution, firstly I don’t have SQL tools installed on my WFE servers and well it just seems like a fudge to me!! So I was looking at the renameserver command in stsadm. The syntax is stsadm –o...
Setting and Image field in code is not quite as obvious as it first seems, but it’s quite straight forward. You may be thinking its as simple as setting the URL of an image to the field and you’re away, but alas, this is SharePoint and nothing works as expected! Code Snippet SPListItem item = SomeMethodToGetListItem(); item["ImageField"] = "http://server/image1.jpg"; item.Update(); If you go to the item in SharePoint you will see that there no image is displayed. Thats because you need to write the...
The issue is with Sharepoint blog category view. The page should only show the posts which have been tagged with the category you click on, but I have found this not to be the case. I posted a thread on the Sharepoint blog forums and thankfully Laura Rogers came up with a solution. Here we go… Navigate to the category.aspx page of the Sharepoint blog. Add a Query string (URL) Filter web part. Modify the query string web part settings. Query string parameter name must be Name. Remove the filter from...
Silverlight makes working with videos pretty straight forward, Microsoft makes Silverlight pretty straight forward with ASP.net and sharepoint is written in ASP.net, so match made in tech heaven!! I wanted a video player web part for sharepoint, that had some simple functionality like play, pause and volume. I started with expression encoder which output a nice media player interface...this is OK, but has a couple of restrictions; 1, its far to rich for what I wanted, animations all over the place...
The more I work and develop with SharePoint I am learning that 95% of the task, with a little guidance is a walk in the park, especially when compared to that final 5%, which is either impossible or is the most painfully experience any developer can experience!! Take my Friday hell for an example... A requirement comes in for custom news item, with a property that is the users department, but could be changed to another. Sure i think, drop down control, bind to all the possible departments, auto...
Now that is a bad ass title!! Anyone who has been through the MindSharp training course for SharePoint and any others that have looked at any code Todd Bleeker puts out there will most certainly be aware of using post build scripts in Visual Studio to deploy your sharepoint project. This knowledge is of course not limited to MindSharp grads, its just that being one I know what they know! To get them to work in a Windows 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 environment you will need to make some changes. As...
Although new to all this MOSS stuff I am getting stuck in with the Content Query Web Part (CQWP) and XSL. They are a pretty powerful combination, but pretty soon I could see how this could become slightly wild and considering ListStyles.xsl is an "out of the box" file, getting crazy with custom files could become more of a problem than simply a huge file. Check out these two posts on how to manage custom styles. 1. Liam (Sharepoint MVP here in the UK) posts about editing the ListStyles.xsl, but only...
Right, the virtual server is up and running...time to soak up some SharePoint...get some dnrTv episodes down my throat. Sahil Malik recorded a series of SharePoint episodes, 4 in fact. He starts with what happens when SharePoint is installed and finishes with some massive XML files for a Business Data Catalogue application. Tip: They are an hour long, so watch it in fast mode, the talking speed is still good and it only takes 30 mins to watch. Session 1 Session 2 Session 3 Session 4 Note: You can...
I am starting down a path with Sharepoint (MOSS 2007), so I found a nice MOSS virtual machine download, its only a 30 day trial, but that'll do for the moment. It's nice that it comes all installed etc, just to get a flavour. The virtual machine is also a domain controller - not sure whether there is any specific reason that relates to a MOSS installation! The image also contains SQL 2005 SP1, Office 2007 Pro, Sharepoint Designer and some other bits...check the above link for more details. Back to...
Does anyone know where (if at all) I can get free sharepoint hosting? I'm looking for a very basic service, its for personal use :) Thx Technorati Tags: Sharepoint...
