When I deactivate a feature, or even just after removing a Solution package, I can still choose to select the Master Page which belonged to the feature I removed. This is a problem for me. The only way to get rid of the hanging reference is to open SharePoint Designer and to browse to the sites _catalog directory then remove the .master...

The problem is that when i get to the point of searching for the group to set up the rule, SharePoint can't find t...
Can anyone comment on the performance implications of storing streaming media in a SharePoint 2007 document library? I’ve heard this can be detrimental to the performance of the farm due to the media being streamed from storage in a SQL DB. Has anyone had any firsthand experience with this and if so, what alternatives have you used to p...
We have an InfoPath 2007 form that populates a drop down from a SharePoint 2007 list of Employees.

Anyone else come across this issue and have a solution to it? I am wondering...

As a developer, I'm trying to setup a development environment on our brand new VMWare ESX server.

The authentication is set to Windows. If I run this code from command-line under "external_app_user" account, all is fine. But if I run this code from w...
I'm reasonably new to SharePoint 2007 and trying to move from an ASP.NET to SharePont way of thinking has been an interesting experience! I would like to create a page at the same level as the default.aspx page in a subsite. The "SharePoint way" of doing things involves putting the page into a document library. I am reluctant to do this...
So, I´ve got an issue that someone might have solved (or so I hope). I have a datetime field that I use in a contenttype (on a listtemplate) that has its own editform. Here´s a walkthrough of what happens: Adding a value to the datetime column and saving the updated value shows up (as expected). Updating the datetime column and addin...
Our development environment is all 32 bit, but our production SharePoint farms are all 64 bit. Can we just deploy the SharePoint solutions straight to the 64 bit platform, or do we need to recompile everything? ...
Metadata seems to be used frequently to describe a SharePoint list's structure. That structure allows the storage of data at the list item level. How can I specify information about the list itself without relying on an additional column? Ideally I want something like SPList.Properties ["Mykey"] = "MyValue" PropertiesXml isn't setta...
Hi All, I'm getting an error when attempting to call SharePoint's webservices on one of our platforms. To start, we have Development (DEV), Testing (QA) and Production (PROD) SharePoint servers. The QA and PROD servers are pretty much identical. We have an ASP.NET web service that sits out as a seperate application on each of them. Our...
I have an InfoPath form with custom submit code to update a Sharepoint list by calling the Sharepoint Lists web service. The code runs without any exceptions, and I was able to set breakpoints to make sure that the variables contain the correct values before being sent to the web service. The values never get added to the Sharepoint li...
There seems to be no end to conflicting information out there regarding whether or not it is necessary to use "setsitelock" when backing up a site collection for deployment to another farm, if both farms have SP2 installed. According to Bob Fox's blog (comments disabled), it is no longer necessary: http://bobfox.securespsite.com/foxblog...

Is it possible to find, in a Web Part, if a list is made from a specific content type? Or, find all lists that are from a specific content type would do the trick too! ...
We have a problem with the scheduling of our timer jobs. The jobs we have developed run only one time after that they delete themselves. To schedule the jobs we filter the web application's SPJobDefinitionCollection for our timer job type and look for the one with the latest schedule time via the NextOccurrence() method of the job's Sche...
How do I figure out the role(s) of a user in a site using the webservices API? All I have to go on is the username and domain. I've found that the PermissionsService.Permissions.GetPermissionCollection(url,"Web") will return a collection of permitted users and groups with their permissions masks but I still need to figure out if the us...
