I was recently asked to develop a script which would allow all sites to inherit the global navigation. Here it is. param( $rootUrl = "http://litwaredemo" )"Setting STSADM"$stsadm = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin\STSADM.EX... Sites XML"[xml] $sites = &$stsadm -o enumsites -url $rootUrl"Loading ......

I came across an interesting item this morning. I need to deploy web.config changes to a MOSS 2007 farm. After hearing many people including Ted Pattison speak about this in various sessions at the Office Developers Conference, my initial reaction was "Great, now I can make web.config modifications using a SPFeatureReceiver and the SPWebConfigModification ......

More on MOSS... In order to build our MOSS application we have decided to make the application as loosly-coupled from SharePoint as possible primarily because of the performance problems trying to develop on a Virtual Machine. So, how do we do it most effectively? With the help of some sound design patterns and a little PowerShell, it becomes pretty ......

So, I came across a requirement where the users do not want to wade through a potential 100's of items in a combobox, but are stuck on using a combo box. Our team has already built a generic server control which inherits from TableRow allowing us to add various controls as TableRows within an ASP:Table. Essentially we get something like this: <ASP:Table ......

In the last post I focused on the Solution file for a MOSS deployment of Andrew Connell's TaskLogger Timer Job found here. In this post, I'll move on to the second, and in my opinion, simpler Feature.xml. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><Feature xmlns="http://schemas.micro... Id="FF736F29-1356-4236-9718... ......

As I mentioned earlier, I am working on a project that involves using MOSS as a development platform or framework to create an entire application instead of just providing a few simple customizations. This means that may of the items will be deployed as solutions (.wsp) and feature deployments. There have been many posts on creating solutions and deploying ......

Recently, I was asked to help build a web application that, like most custom dev projects, has its own RDBMS, and general application layers to present the data users are able to manage. The application has some simple workflows, but generally is simple CRUD stuff. Additionally, the client needs to be able to associate the data stored in the custom ......

After creating this blog 2+ years ago, and only posting 3 articles and starting lots of other, I realized, that I suck at blogging. So, I have resolved to blog more often, but with shorter topics: That's right, Microsoft has finally realized the need to have an integration path with MOSS (their premere corporate portal solution) with Dynamics AX (their ......

Microsoft has recently released Dynamics AX 4.0, their latest version of Enterprise ERP to attempt to compete better with the "Big Guys", namely Oracle, and SAP. After seeing some of the capabilities of CRM 3.0, I wasn't too excited about the most recent release of any MBS technology. Boy was I surprised after I got the install working (yikes). In case ......

Yesterday when working with VS 2005 I ran into a particular frusteration. My client has dictated that even thought this project is a 2.0 project they are not yet ready to use VSS 2005 and, for obvious reasons, not ready to use VSTS. so we are stuck with good ole 6.0d. When starting my team had some particular problems with storing a web project and ......

Yeah, I know it has not even been 24 hours since the release of 2.0 but I've already compliled a list of likes/dislikes and here they are. Maybe someone at Microsoft will stumble across this: Prompting when I clear all my breakpoints??!? c'mon I'm smarter than that! Refactor doesn't rename folders on my machine. Ok, this is a huge wish, but sho' would ......
