Hello, I wonder if there is a way to create a Custom List in Sharepoint, but specify that each user may only create one item in the list. I am thinking of two approaches: Develop a ListReceiver that checks if the user already created an item. Problem: I did not see a way to enable a Feature on a specific list (the idea is that non-de...
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...
Is user profiles an appropriate place to store things like number of items per page in a custom grid user selected? (I you can store it in the view, but it won't be per user this way). My first though was to store these settings in user profiles, but there are problems with access permissions for programmatically creating user profile p...
Is it possible to create a workflow in Sharepoint designer that will create a new discussion thread in a team discussion after a file is added to a document library? I have tried using the "Create List Item" action and that does create a discussion but when you view it there are no messages and no means of adding a reply. Any ideas? I...

We would like to move the database to a MS SQL 2005 server. Is there a recommended approach for doing this? Does anyone know of any resources that offer tips, trick...
I am looking for a clear, complete example of programmatically deleting all documents from a specific document library, via the Sharepoint object model. The doclib does not contain folders. I am looking to delete the documents completely (ie I don't want them in the Recycle Bin). I know of SPWeb.ProcessBatchData, but somehow it never ...
I'm looking into using SharePoint (WSS 3.0, specifically) for the document library and discussion board functionalities. I'd like to ask those of you who have experience in SP (MOSS or WSS, since we might upgrade in the future) for a list of the items that ticked you off or required a difficult workaround. Here's one from me - I found ...
I have created a Visual Studio 2008 sp1 test suite web test that uploads a document to a document library in SharePoint. The test is a lot like the one described here. All is fine until the test is converted to a coded web test. Then the upload post returns the response "Request failed: Connot close stream until all bytes are written"...
In a list where items only can be changed by owner or admin how can I check by code if a user can edit the item. I try item.DoesUserHavePermissions(SPBasePermissions.EditListItems); it will return True as the user can add and edit items in list. ...
There has been a flurry of updates released to Microsoft's Silverlight over the past couple of months (Silverlight 2 beta 2 runtime + dev tools, RC0 + dev tools which broke beta 2 apps), and recently Microsoft has released the RTM. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to integrate Sharepoint 2007 and Silverlight. Many of the sharepoint/s...
I'd like to inspect the content of a file before it is uploaded to the SharePoint doc library. I hooked up a handler to the ItemAdding() event but don't know how to get the content of the file. Note: I know that in the ItemAdded() I can use properties.ListItem.File but that's too late. Thanks in advance. ...
We have several workflows, all are default Sharepoint workflows - approval / feedback etc. Once all actions have been completed (and marked as so), the status of the document workflow remains "In Progress". I have found several mentions of this on the web - but no solutions. Any assistance will be extremely helpful - thanks! ...

I've got a Sharepoint timer job which runs stsadm for which it needs local administrator permissions. On the other hand temer jobs are also used by other services which need NETWORK SERVICE permissions and those to sets of permissions onl...

I'm hosting an ASP.NET web application on a Sharepoint 2007 box, which makes a web service call to Sharepoint to retrieve a document location (specifically, the GetListItems method). The service is consumed with passed credentials of a valid Sharepoint account with appropriate permissions. ListServiceWrapper listService = new ListServi...

Can anybody point out my...
I need to provide users with an easy way to move documents and lists items in WSS 3.0. They want to be able to move across lists, sites and site collections without loss of version history, metadata, and author/date info. This functionality is unfortunately not available OOB. Anyone know a good solution/product? ...
Hi It would also be useful to be able to check the "Requires Checkout" flag as well. I thought it might be a property on the SPDocumentLibrary object, but I can't see it. Do I need to look in one of the admin namespaces...? Cheers Matt ...
