Hi All I wonder if anyone is aware of a way of extracting a list in Sharepoint based on a version's date. For example, we have a list and over time different people are editing and adding records. Say we want to see the list's contents on a particular day, so that newer items and recent edits are excluded. In other words view the lis...

Assume you deploy a Sharepoint solution, which consists of multiple WebParts and multiple Lists. Now in a later version of this solution, you want to extend/modify these lists, like add or remove columns. How do you deploy such changes to a production environment?

Hi all, I have been coding for some days on a webpart now. The point of this webpart is to clean up a given document library. I have 16 000+ msg files in there and I have to validate the To and From headers of each msg file against some given rules. All is well, except for the fact that this process takes forever. All possible values ...

In SharePoint 2010, site templates (.stp files) are deprecated. Instead, solutions (.wsp files) are used to achieve the same effect, but also beyond that. Uploading .stp file and using it was straight forward in MOSS and WSS. However, in SharePoint 2010, it is necessary to upload a solution and to activate it before using it. I need th...

Hi, How can I delete pages from a publishing web using the SharePoint API? Thanks, MagicAndi. ...
MOSS provides you an excellent option to create a "news" site in your portal. It adds some "Archive" functionality, but it is very limited - a list of all articles published in that particular site. My users would like to see something better, a real archive of published articles, browsable by publishing date. What I've tried so far, ...
I'm using the GetListItems method of the SharePoint List web service. I would like to get all items in a given folder, with a given ID (not path). The method allows you to pass in QueryOptions xml, which lets you set the Folder path. However, since paths can change, this is not that useful to me, and it would be much better to be able to...
