  • Updating/Resetting the ListView Web Part

    I came across this post earlier this month, didn't book mark it, and GMail's web history kind of failed me (only b/c I wasn't exactly sure what search term to use). So, I'm sticking it here. Thanks Zlatan! How to update/reset the ListView...

  • Search Community Toolkit

    I just read this off Michael Ganotti's blog ; wanted to post here for my own reference. Search is something that I'm not that close to. Good to see that there are so many useful tools/aids/samples available. From the project page on CodePlex ...

  • Server Controls Case-Sensitivity in Page Layouts?

  • Visual Studio Extensions for WSS 1.2 - Too Bad I Can't Use Them

    (Not in my native Windows environment anyway.) I have a few spare moments at work right now. I've got Windows Server 2003 x64 with a local installation of SharePoint as my development environment. (You can debate the merits of this v. using a VM,...

  • Registering a CSS File in SharePoint

    I have a custom publishing site definition. It was, of course, based off the default publishing site definition. I re-organized some features around, and added custom versions of required features just so I could control everything a little more to my...

  • Custom Web Parts can "break" Variations process.

    Argh, Sezai beat me to this post about SPFormContext and SPControlMode by a few hours! I have to admit my sentiment is the same as his - I'm super stoked to have found this class . Oftentimes, we need some code to execute, but only in the "published"...

    This isn't in my area of expertise, but a co-worker of mine (thanks Carmen!) alerted me to this, so I figured I should put it here for safe keeping. It's an article that describes the capacity limits for MOSS 2007. Plan for software boundaries...
