• Everyone wants one!

  I've written so many SharePoint asset viewer type web parts (or applications) over the last few years I thought it was about time I blogged some code to get you started yourselves, the following will render a simple treeview that will allow you to...

• SharePoint 2007 workflow with Visual Studio 2008

  Before getting into this I thought developing workflow for SharePoint 2007 was a complex and daunting task to undertake. Whilst you still won’t find me saying it’s easy I will say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how intuitive the process has been...

• SPSite ReadOnly & WriteLocked properties fail on a GET request

  So the following lines of code look pretty simple: SPSite site = new SPSite(sSiteURL); ... web.Site.ReadOnly = true; ... What's even better is that they actually work. Until that is they become part of a GET request (i.e. from a web page). If your... Posted Jan 21 2008, 04:20 PM by Andrew Noon with | with 7 comment(s) Filed under: MOSS 2007

• Adding Groups and Users in MOSS 2007

  All I wanted to do was get hold of a users' email address and preferred name from the profile database. I needed to get it from my web service so that I could go ahead and add the user to a custom group. So I put some code together: ServerContext...

• InfoPath Forms Server, Data Sources and Authentication

  OK, So I put together a nice little InfoPath form, nothing too flash - it collects some data about a site and sub sites and then goes ahead and calls a web service to create the site, sub sites and sets permissions. Problem is that while the form works... Posted Dec 06 2007, 10:02 PM by Andrew Noon with | with 6 comment(s) Filed under: MOSS 2007

• Workflow with SharePoint Designer - collecting data

  OK, so if we're talking real workflow then SharePoint Designer (SpD), clearly doesn't cut it and you need to look to other workflow solution providers (personally I like and have good experience of K2). However for quick wins, you might find SpD... Posted Sep 18 2007, 01:16 PM by Andrew Noon with | with 9 comment(s) Filed under: MOSS 2007

• Defining multiple authentication providers to a single MOSS 2007 web application

  email I wrote this some time ago but never got around to blogging it. Much of the content is similar to information already out there but I think there is enough that is different to still warrant a quick blog... In particular I'd like to thank ANdrew...

• MOSS 2007 - Increasing the navigation depth

  I don't know about you but I found the out of the box fly-out navigation depth (1 sub-level) a bit basic. Here's how to customise the depth setting: The depth setting is in the SharePoint:AspMenu tag and it's name is MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels...

• Business Data Catalog application definition without the effort!

  In the TAP materials and on the DevCon's it was obvious to us all that the business data catalog looked likely to change the way we looked at LOB integration.
