I am creating a custom content type feature for MOSS that will also include a Word 2007 document as the document template. The same Word document will also have a Document Information Panel (DIP) and Quick Parts for all the fields in the content type.

I'm using a FullTextSqlQuery in SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) and need to order the results by two columns: SELECT WorkId FROM SCOPE() ORDER BY Author ASC, Rank DESC However it seems that only the first column from ORDER BY is taken into account when returning results. In this case the results are ordered correctly by Author, but not by Rank...

From what I have gleaned from reflector, RunWithElevatedPriveleges simply reverts the current thread identity to the base (non-impersonated) identity. This makes perfect sense in the case of code running inside the WSS application pool, since the base service account is a super-user. Does it have any effect when running in an external ...

I know that I can do the ASP.Net 2.0 friendly URLs using RewritePath, but I was wondering if it was possible to make use of the System.Web.Routing that comes with ASP.NET 3.5 SP1. I think I've figured out how to get my route table loaded, but I'm not clear on what method t...

How do you debug your SharePoint 2007 code? Since SharePoint runs on a remote server, and I'm developing on a windows xp machine (with the necessary .dll files copied into my GAC), I haven't had much luck with finding easy ways to debug. Breakpoints don't work, etc. The best way I've come up with is to enable page tracing in the web.c...

My site has quite a deep navigation structure and quite often it looks like the out of the box navigation is leaking memory, especially the SPWeb objects. The log message looks like Potentially excessive number of SPRequest objects (14) currently unreleased on thread 5. Ensure that this object or its parent (such as an SPWeb or SPS...
In Moss 2007 you have the ability to set the target audience for each individual web part within a page.

What I am looking for is a way for someone with full control/design permissions on a site to be able to preview how the site will be d...
