  • Twitter question

    A recent question on Twitter: "[SharePoint] costs as much to buy/implement/run in money as the productivity loss of not having it - agree or disagree?" I would say if you measure this in a vacuum, in the scope of one single project it's probably a wash (money out == savings). The real ROI...

  • How about some (almost) free Business Intelligence?

    I spent a lot of time at the Microsoft office last week in Waltham, including the Quarterly Partner Briefing on Tuesday 3/24. One of the sessions I attended on BI put on by Bob Lincavicks and Tara Seppa clarified some recent announcements about PerformancePoint being rolled into SharePoint. When I first...

  • Grouped SPGridview Exceptions

    Yesterday I spent many hours trying to solve what should have been a simple issue - grouped views in a SPGridview. I was building a web part that used an embedded SPGridview - this was part of a template I created used by a TemplateBasedControl which was the created by the Web Part. All was working fine...

  • Best Practices for Naming Sites and Pages.

    A comment I frequently hear is: SharePoint tabs don't always highlight properly. As it turns out, if you are in the habit of doing things a certain way, they always work. First, make sure you are turning on "Show Pages" and/or "Show subsites". You can find this in Site Settings...

  • Moving up to find that list

    I'm going to write a bit about a problem I ran into when I wrote a bulk upload application for one of my SharePoint clients. I found that when I was importing a document and applying a Content Type to it I needed to find the Lookup list values for one of the import fields. In looking for a list of...

  • MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0 Alternate Access Mapping

    I did a three day consulting gig 3 months ago where I installed and configured WSS 3.0, trained them on the basics of document libraries and lists, and converted a spreadsheet with multiple pages into a List so that their users could edit items simultaneously. They loved the item-level version history...

  • Checking for empty or null dates in SharePoint

    A client asked me today how to create a view filtered so that only items that where missing their Start Date, Due Date, or both. First, create a calculated column DatesMissing with the following formula: =NOT(AND(ISNUMBER([Start Date]),ISNUMBER([Due Date]))) Don't forget to set the type to Date!...

  • SharePoint Connections 2007

    So here I am in Vegas - and for this Englishman it's a first time. I am here with some of the other Syrinx SharePoint team for SharePoint Dev Connections. One thing we immediately noticed was that each track had it's own registration and colored bags - this was great - helped us spot the SharePoint...

  • Site Definitions in SharePoint 2007

    For many of our clients we need to build custom site definitions. When building SharePoint solutions the terms site template, definition and to a lesser extent site portal are often used. Each of these allows the user to create a new site with a predefined set of Content Types, Layouts, and Lists etc...
