SharePoint Developers: SPDisposeCheck Release
January 30, 2009This is probably redundant as pretty much everyone has blogged about it but just in case you don’t already know: SPDisposeCheck was released (hot and necessary for all dev’s as far as I am concerned). But don’t take my word for it just check the blogging communities absolute joy on the totally sweet release: SharePoint [...]
Visio and Site Template for Workflow
January 28, 2009Stephen has posted a site template and visio diagram that goes with the wonderful 14 screen casts that outline a pretty well rounded scenario for starting workflow development (with SharePoint Designer). Again if you are new to workflow, or SharePoint Designer I would highly recommend viewing these screencasts. (Screencast can be found here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA102564171033.aspx) The [...]
More on PerformancePoint Announcement (SharePoint + PerformancePoint Services)
January 27, 2009Earlier I mentioned changes to Microsoft PerformancePoint and SharePoint (http://sharepointkb.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/performancepoint-server-to-become-performancepoint-services-for-sharepoint-vnext/) A few days ago I received notification of cancellation on PerformancePoint courses I was taking as well, so I figured for anyone with questions I recommend watching this video announcement from Microsoft about the change: http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/E/E/AEEE26CB-1536-4EC9-809E-536F6E49A1BB/Guy_Weismantel_BI_Announcement_MBR.wmv It’s pretty simple and I won’t reiterate it here, [...]
Toronto SharePoint Camp Review (5 Stars)
January 26, 2009What a fun weekend. Saturday’s SharePoint Camp was wonderful. I can’t describe how exciting it is to see such knowledgable and friendly speakers talk about different ways of using SharePoint better. I was lucky enough to attend a few sessions which were just terrific. Here’s my day more or less at SharePoint Camp 2009. I [...]
Modifying XSN Files (InfoPath)
January 24, 2009So the other morning apparently one of my ‘eval’ functions in an InfoPath form I was working on caused an infinite loop (my best guess: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/867436). This causes the InfoPath form to crash and then error out everytime you try and open it afterwards. When working in SharePoint you could restore to the previous version [...]

PerformancePoint Server to become PerformancePoint Services for SharePoint vNext
January 23, 2009So as many of you know I have been really getting into PerformancePoint over the past while and it’s uses and integration with SharePoint. It’s been exciting so far, and with the new SP3 updates (slated mid-calendar year 2009) on the way for PerformancePoint it will only get better. There has been alot of interest [...]
Add Some “Sex Appeal” with Silverlight and JQuery
January 23, 2009Most of you are hopefully aware of Jan’s “SmartTools” for SharePoint on codeplex: http://www.codeplex.com/smarttools/. However just in case you aren’t I highly recommend taking a look at them. Recently Jan uploaded new versions of these tools (http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2009/01/22/new-release-of-the-smarttools-for-sharepoint-project.aspx), and I have personally used some to spread ideas or awareness of what silverlight/jquery can do in SharePoint [...]
How to Customize SharePoint Alerts
January 20, 2009So I have been looking for a workaround for something related to alerts and stumbled across this wonderful article on how to create customized alert notifications, and/or customized alert emails for SharePoint. http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepointdeveloperdocs/archive/2007/12/07/customizing-alert-notifications-and-alert-templates-in-windows-sharepoint-services-3-0.aspx If you have ever wanted to customize the alerts SharePoint sends out then this bad boy is probably the place to look [...]
