SharePoint - ASP.Net Controls Integration

I have basically two separate sites, a SharePoint collaboration site, and an ASP.Net application site. The only linkage between the two are the hyperlinks going back and forth, and the user validation on the behalf of the SharePoint site. The user will enter and be authenticated through the SharePoint site and then may browse to the ASP....

What is the purpose of zones in sharepoint? (web application zones or authentication zones or how do they call it)

I can't understand the concept and, first of all, where it belongs. Is it solely a Shrepoint concept or more general like of ASP.NET or IIS level? Does it only affect authentication and if so how does it affect it? Or what effect does it have on an application? I know it is a broad question, but I've googled for about 15 minutes and have...

SharePoint Development / Production Environments

One of the biggest challenges that I've encountered with SharePoint is that it doesn't lend itself nicely to the typical project environment, which, at minimum, contain development and production environments.

Software Project Management in Sharepoint

SharePoint List Subscriptions

If I have "Full Control" permission on a list, is there a way for me to see all the individuals who have an alert set for that list? Some people in my department are better at managing their own subscriptions than others, and this is a question I have received from several team leads. They want to be able to see and confirm who has ale...

Sharepoint, Create View, Filter Properties

I'd like to create a view in Sharepoint that has a filter based on a date field. The filter should be >= Today and <- Today + 90 days. I found a reference to the <Today OffsetDays=”5” /> CAML function and could probably use this by setting the view using the API. My question is how do i set this using the browser based admin...

Tracking permissions in SharePoint

Is there any sort of "out of the box" system within SharePoint (i.e. MOSS 2007) that is useful for tracking/managing permissions. We've got a relatively small installation, but I can easily see special permissions for special users/sites getting out of hand. I'm hoping there's something pre-baked into SharePoint that will help with thi...

Prevent site deletion

In our Sharepoint implementation users have been granted site collection admin rights. On a few occasions they've managed to delete a subsite or even the entire site collection. I'd like to be able to block this but not being a developer I'm finding it pretty tricky. I've had a look at the MSIT site delete capture tool to try to underst...
