  • Papercut

    This looks like a really handy little utility for  testing stuff like workflow: the utility allows your program to connect to the SMTP server and “send”, but doesn’t actually send the message anywhere – it just gets added to the papercut app , which lets you see the raw, body and html view of the...

  • MOSS: Are Site Definitions Evil?

    Tad pointed me to a post by “SharePoint Joel” aka Joel Oleson in which he rants about the evils of highly customized Site Definitions: Just SAY NO to Creating Custom Site Definitions Joel even goes as far as saying that Site Templates (stp files) are a better option than customized Site Definitions....

  • C#: String.Inject() - Format strings by key tokens

    I generally prefer to use String.Format() instead of doing a bunch of string additions, but constantly find myself splitting the code onto multiple lines with an appended comment to keep track of the indices: string myString = string .Format( "{0} is {1} and {2} is {3}" , o.foo, //0 o.bar,...

  • MOSS: Favelets for SharePoint Management Pages

    Favelets (or Bookmarklets ) are javascript uris that when added as a Favorite (or Bookmark) perform an action on the current page or browser instance rather than navigating you to a particular location. (For a more comprehensive description, see wikipedia .) I frequently use the Links or Bookmarks toolbar...

  • MOSS: Quote of the day

    Ok - so actually it was the quote of the day on March 19, but... 'The unfortunate reality is that working directly with XML still requires a significant paradigm shift in the way most developers think.  With all the buzz about improving the SharePoint "developer experience", I keep...

  • MOSS: On Skinning SharePoint

    Leon/fallenRogue has a lengthy blog post debunking some criticism on the difficulty of skinning SharePoint, and offers some good tips, one of which is below: In order to make the application (/_layouts/) pages that are part of your SharePoint solution share the same look and feel as the rest of your...

  • 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. Like an idiot, when I was failing last week to create Computed SiteColumns , I gauged my success and failure by what the SharePoint Site Column Gallery (i.e. _layouts/mngfield...

  • 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 of Extension Methods, replacing trusty old Utility...

  • MOSS: The ViewStyle Tag

    Side note: I thought I had blogged on this before, but I can't find any evidence that I did... One of the more daunting tasks of SharePoint development is modifying the schema.xml files of a List definition; the CAML of the ViewHeader, ViewBody, ViewFooter, etc elements is tedious to wade through...

  • MOSS: Controlling Fields in EditForm and DispForm

    Note to self: The EditForm and DispForm pages for a list are controlled by the ContentType declaration(s). A field will not show up in DispForm unless it is listed in the FieldRefs section of content form, and (if read only or hidden) ShowInDisplayForm is true. Another MOSS mystery solved through painful...
