I'm invoking one of SharePoint's web service APIs that returns a CAML fragment. I've searched the interweb far and wide but I've been unable to figure out how to make this CAML fragment to render as "normal" HTML that I can render in a more sane environment like Plumtree, WLP, Liferay or any other portal besides SharePoint. Without a wa...

Hi We have developed a webservice that sits and runs in the context of a sharepoint site. This works fine using normal windows authentication. We now have a client who wants to install this on a Kerberos enabled sharepoint site. What changes would we need to make to either the webserivce, the calling client (a windows service) or both...
Whilst trying to get our app working in Firefox (I'm a big proponent of X-Browser support but our lead dev is resisting me saying IE is good enough). So I'm doing a little side project to see how much work it is to convert. I've hit a problem straight away. The main.aspx page binds to a webservice using the IE only method of adding beh...

When I added service -> web service. The VS2008 added a App_WebReferences folder without a .asmx file. I see a .discomap file. When I use the cascading drop down ajax control, it is looking for .asmx in the service path. Am I doing it wrong? I remember the early edition of Visual Studio added a .asmx file when you added a outside webse...

However, this current design has all of our WCF data in app.config files both on the client side as well as the ser...
This is a very complicated question concerning how to serialize data via a web service call, when the data is not-strongly typed. I'll try to lay it out as best possible. Sample Storage Object: [Serializable] public class StorageObject { public string Name { get; set; } public string Birthday { get; set; } public List<NameValueP...
