• MOSS: Computed Columns - Part 2: They CAN be SiteColumns, a.k.a SiteColumns CAN be "Computed"

  a.k.a. the SharePoint UI fails to tell the complete story, once again. It turns out Computed Columns can indeed be SiteColumns.

• C#/MOSS: Extension Methods: For Good and For Evil

  Let me start with some good news: C# 3.0/ASP.NET 3.5 works beautifully with SharePoint 2007, thanks to the forward-compatible nature of the .NET framework from version 2.0 onwards. This compatibility opens up all sorts of avenues, one of them is the use... Posted Jan 10 2008, 10:08 AM by mo.notono.us Filed under: Sharepoint, ASP.NET, moss, C#, howto, silliness

• MOSS: The ViewStyle Tag

• MOSS: SPQuery CAN recurse through folder structures

• MOSS: XML Intellisense

  To be sure to get intellisense in XML files, you can try the two methods detailed by Jopx here . I say try, cause it didn't work for me. What DID work, was adding a folder with links to the xsd files to the project, as shown by Tony Bierman here Read...

• MOSS: How to Create a WSP Solution for a Feature

  I had previously hoped that VSeWSS would be the way to easily create solutions in VS, but, as one of my colleagues pointed out, using VSeWSS is indeed an exercise in frustration. At the moment , WSP files have to be created the hard way, I’m afraid. Fortunately...

• MOSS: The importance of the Template Name attribute

• MOSS: Site Column: LinkedTitleDocNoMenu

  MOSS 2007 (and I believe SharePoint 2003 as well) has a number of built-in site columns for linking to the item or document in a list/document library, while displaying either the Name or the Title, with or without the Edit context menu.

• DDF Command and Variable Syntax

  DDF files as used in SharePoint to create Solution (WSP) files are an anachronistic throwback to an ancient Microsoft technology: CAB files.

• MOSS: Creating a Custom View Page

  When you use the schema.xml to define a View on a List, each View must have a unique value for the Url attribute. Typically this is in the format Url="/Forms/MyCustomView.aspx".
