However, those custom properties never ...

EDIT: Modified title and added update. UPDATE: We no longer believe this is a 64bit vs 32bit problem. We have found that the only people that were seeing this, were people that were set in the farm policy as "full control." (Not acting as System Account) Once we tested regular users, we found none had the problem. Removing the "probl...
I'm looking for best practices to integrate log4net to SharePoint for web request, feature activation and all timer stuff. I have several subprojects in my farm, and I would like to have only one Log4Net.config file. [Edit] Not only I need to configure log4net for the web application, which is easy to do (I use global.asax, and a log...
I'm trying to implement an Excel Services reporting solution in SharePoint (MOSS). Since the source data is a SharePoint list, this problem is doubly frustrating. I keep bumping up against permissions problems, even though I've enabled virtually everything in sight. The first error is about refreshing external data - it's not (reall...
Hi there, I've created a custom search page with some defined options in my search scope. I have a metadata mapped (jobtitle), and added the search option to my custom search. I want to change my managed name to jobtitle, because title doesn't hit the dutch word for jobtitle. I changed the managed name to "jobtitle", after applying ...
Hello, I've been perplexed lately working on a SharePoint state machine workflow. I was hoping to add some modification forms to the workflow so that I could reassign a task while in its state. Unfortunately, modification forms don't seem to be documented for use with state machine workflows (pretty straight forward for sequence workf...

In particular I need to store the number of items per page a user selected in a grid of a document library separately for each user and document library. @Edit: sorry about this vagueness, I wanted to do it programmatically.

On the client machine I need to be able to somehow detect which sites the current user are looking at right now. I know the base URL of the sharepoint app, say sharepoint.thecompany.net but how the hack do I get the last requested url from the server?

I am working on a project that is replacing an old portal system (Plumtree) with sharepoint and we want to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Hello, I am trying to write a web application in C# ASP.NET3.5 and want to include a Microsoft Office Access Web Datasheet in my application.

Does anyone know of any good basic articles for creating Sharepoint Web Parts. I have found a couple, but most of them jumped in a little quick. Thanks. ...
I am new to sharepoint development but have about 10 years of expirence in C++, VB6 and C#. It is my experience that a great way to learn a new language or coding style is to spend some time "dissecting" one of the open source projects available at CodePlex or Google code. In order to avoid picking up some bad habits without knowing it,...

Hello, So, maybe I'm a bit old-school, but when we created websites in the past, we'd develop the site on a development server, then publish or promote the pages and files to the production server. This has always seemed to be a good way to go so that users didn't see messed up pages or (God forbid) a downed server because one of us sc...
Upon AD Import for SharePoint, MOSS does this automatically: "Office SharePoint Server 2007 automatically adds your manager, peers, and direct reports as your colleagues". How do I disable this automatically so it's a clean list of colleagues? ...
I've created a list using the SharePoint (MOSS 2007) Issue Tracking List. A "Comments" field is automatically created in this list. The Comments column has extra functionality that provides a sort of history/log whenever an edit is made to a list item. Unfortunately, a comment entry is created even when an insignificant edit is made. ...
When creating web parts for Sharepoint, is it better to create an actual web part, or is using and ASP.NET User Control (.ascx) just as good? I already know how to create the user controls that I need, so it seems like the extra effort of creating a web part is just unnecessary leg work. What are the advantages of using a web part over...
