  • 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...

    Recently for a client engagement I used a Custom Field Iterator to control the edit and display form for a content type (more on this in an upcoming post). The requirement was for different fields to be made editable based on the state the list item was in. After deployment, the client requested that...

  • CAML query to select items assigned to current user.

    So after much googling and trying all the suggestions at http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepointworkflow/thread/e8891d49-1d82-422e-8c7f-eb99326ec14c We found the way to select from a list where the Assigned To user is the current user by building a view that has a filter criteria of Assigned...

  • 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...

  • Custom Alert Handlers: Part 1 of 2

    Have you ever wanted to modify the contents of an Alert Email from SharePoint 2007. We had a requirement recently, from a client, to modify the contents of alert emails in a very specific way.

  • 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...

  • Content and Structure Reports: Just a CAML Ride Away

    For anyone who has looked a little more closely at the Content & Structure section of SharePoint, you'll probably find it doesn't quite do what you were hoping or expected. You may also have wanted to know how to modify these reports or create your own. For those not familiar at all with...
