Microsoft's SharePoint VPC: Successes and Failures

I thought I would get a dialogue going about Microsoft Trial SharePoint VPC. My new consulting company has me looking into it as a viable tools for proof of concepts and demoing purposes. Well, I have a few concerns. One, the VPC has a trial version of Visual Studio 2005, which the trial version does not install the templates for VS 2005 and does not have a command prompt for your use. Therefore, I try to install the templates for wss 3.0 but no templates are installed into VS 2005. So I can't build a web part(save for from scratch). I can't build a site definition or any of the like. I'm very discouraged by this discovery. I am currently attempting to get VSTA on the trial version to program with InfoPath 2007, but I am doubtful it will work... Please if anyone has attempted to use the trial vpc for such tasks and been successful or had the same luck as I have. Please post your comments here!

Edit Sharepoint security in C# -- "The security validation for this page is invalid"

I recently had my fair share of trouble when trying to edit the security of a web site through code. Every time I executed the code, some error came up. Most of the time, it was either "Access Denied" or "The security validation for this page is invalid". Pretty annoying stuff I thought, and searching the web didn't really help all that much ... I ran the code using RunWithElevatedPrivileges, but that didn't help much. Neither did the SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates property. After searching for a REALLY long time, I found the answer in a blog's comment: ( http://spiderwool.blogspot.com/2006/07/security-validation-for-this-page-is.html ) SPSite.WebApplication.FormDigestSettings.Enabled = false Finally I had found the solution. However, after redeploying the code on a new web application, I suddenly got an Access Denied error when trying to set this property. After some searching I found out this was due to the fact I set the application pool to run as Network Service in stead of an administrative account. This did fix my problem, however I did not really found out the actual source of the issue ... So, taking all this into account, here is an example of how to set a web's security through code: public void EditSecurity() { SPSecurity .RunWithElevatedPrivileges( delegate () { using ( SPSite site = new SPSite (url)) { using ( SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { SPWebApplication webApp = web.Site.WebApplication; webApp.FormDigestSettings.Enabled = false ; web...

SPWeb fails to return the list

When working on large applications, we usually make mistakes and then spend time debugging the errors that occur because of the mistakes that we make during programming but there are some errors that occur even if you don't make any mistake. Have a look at the following code: SPWeb web = Site.OpenWeb(SPContext.Current.Web.ID); string strList = SPContext.Current.Web.Url.Substring( .... substring processing ....); SPList list = web.Lists[strList]; //This line gives error!

Invalid column name c2

SharePoint gives you this error when you try to search documents using the SPQuery object and you search by passing the document's Name. SPQuery object uses the internal field names so it's important to pass correct internal name for the correct field to be searched. By default, the "Name" field that is visible in the library has the internal name "LinkFilename" so when someone wants to search a document in the library using the "Name" field, obviously he uses...( read more ) Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks
