• SharePoint Content Deployment error: (null) "Long Running Operation Status/Item" not found.

  I've been banging my head against the wall on some content deployment errors. I found nothing on the net on the following one... It appeared in the content deployment job history:  (null) "Long Running Operation Status/Item" not found. I resolved it by deleting and recreating the content deployment path.

• Decoding ASP.NET ViewState

  I've heard from a few people that you can't really see what is in your ViewState. That is not really true, you can decode the base64 hashcode that gets included in the <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE"> HTML tag. You can find a few tools around that will help you do that by doing a simple Google search: http://www.google.com.au/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=viewstate+decode  I had a play with ViewState Decoder 2.2 by Pluralsite.   Cool stuff.

• CRM v4 workflows never continue when all "wait" conditions have been met

  I was looking into a CRM workflow issue where the workflow doesn't proceed at a "wait until task" step. When the dependent task status has changed to "complete" the workflow should continue, but instead it just hangs. I did a few tests and managed to reproduce the problem by completing the task as soon as possible after it is created by workflow. Delaying the approval doesn't cause any problems. I managed to locate a hotfix from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951919 Installing it resolved the issue. Posted Oct 14 2008, 10:20 AM by Radi A. with no comments Filed under: CRM, error
