I am using a peopleeditor in an .aspx page placed in the layouts folder, I saw, that the right side border od the entity editor textbox of the peopleeditor is overlapping with the buttons(check name, browse).

Thus giving it a look, border across three sides of the textbox...any answers why?

re: #RENDER FAILED in View With Totals and Grouping

Sorry, but that's no FIX, but a work around at best.

In our situation the idea is, that the the items are collapsed and not expanded. The fact that Microsoft did not test this is a shame.

As I mentioned in my last comment, I have tried desperately to find a way to send contents in the <query> tag (such as <Query xmlns=""></Query>). As you mention, it would be extremely useful, but my quest has been to no avail.

@ Mindaugas: If your response was at me, I am not referring to the overall Query tag that you send, but the sub-tag <query> that you use to pass more parameters (like what fields you would like to see, etc.). See the SharePoint namespace definition for more details.

Have you found an answer to the problem of the attach button not working when you customize the NewForm.aspx.

re: The Battle for Nothing... or is it Null?

Dave — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:31:04 GMT

Pick one and use in across all languages? Haha! It is a valid point you bring up, and even within a single language (T-SQL) NULL can have a TON of meanings. However, there is absolutely no chance of 'retrofitting' any languages with new 'semantics of nothingness.' Er, the chance is nil. Null. Nothing. But, of course, in T-SQL, it IS NULL but NOT EQUAL TO NULL.

PaulC — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:23:31 GMT

I have a report that has say 2 columns Title and Status. I have 10 rows in the View that I'm quering and in that 10 rows I have 3 different statuses, so same status is on each row.

I want to create a parameter for this report based on Status. So I added a parameter and made it from the same query that pulls all of the information. I'm going to then use this parameter to hide the rows on the report that are not equal to what is picked by the user. My problem is that in my list of States when I Preview the report I have the same status listed several times. Is there a way that I can get it to just display a distinct list, if I was writing a SQL report I would just create a new dataset that just queried the same table and add DISTINCT to the select clause, but is there a was that I can do something to make this work?

Thanks! For me it works on _Layouts only (not on other application sites like List and Documents etc.)

Any ideas?

David,

Great article, just one question...do i need to make a copy of application.master and default.master or do I use my customdefault.master as both? At one point in the article it seems to read as needing 2 different master pages and at another it seems like I am using one master in 2 different locations. Thanks.

Mark Dorison — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 16:14:04 GMT

Thanks for the great tip! I am having one problem however. The master page loads correctly on the pages it is supposed to but when I try to add a column to a list there are errors on the page. The page renders but when I fill out the form and click the 'OK' button to submit nothing happens. Disabling the module in the web.config temporarily removes the issue.

I try to connecting SQL Reporting Services to a SharePoint List. I have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Windows Sharepoint Service 3.0. I followed all the step in this post and I keep receiving the Failed to execute web request for specified URL. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions) Error message. What can be the cause of the error?

For the "web service wrapper", don't forget reuse the credentials !!!

In the webMethod:

proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

Hi Dave.

Good article, about the query parameter: In fact the problem raised because in the method GetListItems the query, viewFields and queryOptions are XmlNode parameter type, and the reporting engine can't work with this data type.

In my case I develop a WebService from wrapping the query (and other parameters), a clone from GetListItems, and this webservice clone, receive the query "string" and call the back-end SPPS webservice with the XmlNode parameter. Work fine. We need use this parameter, your article help us. Thanks !!!

Your query string doesn't work with Services 2005. I've used this one: <Query>

</Query>

re: What the Heck is RSS?

David — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:40:37 GMT

This was helpful, I kind of already knew what a RSS feed was but this really simplified it and gave me a much better understanding. I do have a question, if these RSS Feeds all go directly into a reader, how is it that some Blogs are automatically updated with news articles for everyone to comment on? Is there a way to set up a feed to automatically create a Blog post?
