This would be more helpful if there were links to documents or other data to support the article. This seems to be yet another re-hashed marketing pamphlet disguised as a techno-blog.

Thanks for taking the time to post this Aaron. Aside from the list of tips, this doesn't help us much unless you are willing to share your code to some extent. Please consider supporting the MOSS community by sharing your excellent findings. You don't have to expose the client's solution, just create something smaller in scope and provide a how-to that covers the main points in step-by-step detail.

Thanks

You cannot in any useful way (other than layout etc) customize the Advanced Search Web Part because they depend on a shared XML object for passing query and result data around. The only way is by creating a completely new web part (or web parts) that provide all the functionality, which is what we did...

Hi Aron,

Could you please let us know how you customised the advanced search page? Basically we found that creating a custom search page and passing a FullTextSqlQuery string to results page isn't that easy.

re: The solution to saving properties in Custom Field Types!

Jaime — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:36:04 GMT

Hi, I have created my own custom field type following this post and others like this.

I have problem and It's that my field can save modified values. If I create a new column of my type, properties are stored properly. But, when I want to modify these properties, it doesn't work as I expected.

I saw your post and it uses the solution when the column is added and not when is modified. Can you explain a little more why of my behaviour and the reason of your solution???

Thanks.

re: Best Practice : Using disposable objects in SharePoint

adrh — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 21:31:50 GMT

Well Colin, I'm not going to correct you because I'm not actually sure if you're wrong (or right!). I would have thought that the first time you access the property that the object was created and thereafter it was just used.

Having said that, I would have thought that things would have been disposed of correctly in the first place, so who knows. ;-)

I you do know, I'd love to hear!

In reality, the code you posted is exactly what I do in practice with anything that I think needs disposing!

re: Best Practice : Using disposable objects in SharePoint

Colin — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:44:14 GMT

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem with .RootWeb (and all the other SPWeb objects you need to dispose of) is that accessing the propery creates a new instance of an SPWeb.

That means that in your code sample, you're actually creating 6 new SPWebs each of the 6 times you use oSPSite.RootWeb. 5 of those webs aren't disposed of, and the last one was created just to be immediately disposed (oSPSite.RootWeb.Dispose()).

What you want to do instead is add the line:

using( SPWeb rootWeb = oSPSite.RootWeb )

...at the beginning of your code and just use the rootWeb instance in the block that follows.

re: Free SharePoint Business Data Catalog Column

Adrian Fiechter — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:16:07 GMT

BDCField.cs Line 129:

When i am activating the list instance over a feature, i have no context. That means SPContext.Current == null.

What is with the following way to solve the problem:

public int ContextId

{

get

{

if (SPContext.Current != null)

{

return SPContext.Current.GetHashCode();

}

else

{

return -1;

}

Customization can't be deploied with a feature by default (SP1).

To do it, include the following wss.xsd patch:

re: Free SharePoint Business Data Catalog Column

Warren — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:32:40 GMT

And finally ... the answer to my question ...

1. Add a safecontrol entry in your web config

2. Register the MacroView control in your page layout:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="MacroView" Namespace="MacroView.SharePointFields" Assembly="MacroView.SharePointFields.BDCColumn, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6f7d66a3bb7de652" %>

3. Add a BDC Field edit control inside a PublishingWebControls:EditModePanel runat="server"

<MacroView:BDCFieldControl FieldName="Brand" BDCApplication="CadburyCorpWebInstance" BDCEntity="Brand" BDCDisplayFields="PreferredName" BDCReturnField="PreferredName" runat="server" />

re: Free SharePoint Business Data Catalog Column

Warren — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:08:06 GMT

Hi again. I've found a possible solution to my own question to you earlier ... basically, I've added a Web property to your BDCField class and changed the ContextId propert to check whether SPContext.Current is null, and if so to use the Web property to generate a ContextId. This is needed because using the BDCField in a feature receiver, SPContext.Current is null.

Then I add the following code in the feature receiver of my app, to set the custom properties.

SPField f = web.Fields[@"Brand"];

BDCField ff = (BDCField)f;

ff.Web = web;

ff.Application = @"MyCustomCorpWebInstance";

ff.Entity = @"Brand";

ff.DisplayFields = @"PreferredName";

ff.ReturnField = @"PreferredName";

ff.PushChangesToLists = true;

ff.Update();

So the site column definition does not include the <Customization> element ...

Seems like a real kludge to me, but I am under severe pressure to "get it working" ... so this will do for now.
