I just converted a block of code that was running fine, but a bit slowly, to using the Page.ExecuteRegisteredAsyncTasks() call to run the slow parts in a separate thread. See MSDN for more info on this. There are various exceptions being thrown relating to invalid permissions and access denied errors. I have even tried running the con...
I have a task that calls the SSRS report server to render the report, then places the freshly rendered report into a SharePoint document library.

But when the report is deployed to SSRS the regional formats all revert back to us. Is there a way to have this display properly inside of S...
Hi Guys, I am trying to build a SharePoint 2007 web part in Visual Studio. This web part should search a sharepoint list and display the results. What I want to accomplish is to display the results as soon as the user stops typing, so no clicking button involved. Probably, a combination of text_changed event and onkeydown javascript? ...
SharePoint newbie here. I have a web part that is attached to SharePoint's edit page [EditForm.aspx]. How do I determine if the document being edited is linked to a content type that inherits, at any level of its inheritance chain, from a specified base type? For instance, I have a base content type called "Document Base". I want this ...
Disclaimer: My Sharepoint knowledge is slim, and my Ruby knowledge is novice-moderate. I need to be able to programmatically upload files to a Sharepoint server. So far, I've been looking into the Savon gem (patched to add NTLM auth) to accomplish this. Sample code so far: require 'rubygems' require 'savon' WSDL_URL = 'http://<s...
I've been tasked with developing a timesheet application in sharepoint. Currently we use spreadsheets with a standard list of categories and then we add various subcategories/projects/tasks we are working on and our hours. I've mostly built asp.net apps. My question is do you think this type of application can be built using sharepoin...
I currently have a normal SharePoint list with about 15 columns or so. I need one of the columns to have a list of links. I know SharePoint lets you have 1 link and it also lets you have multiple lines of text... So I thought it would be there as an option, but no such luck. Anyone knows a solution for this? I wasn't able to find any inf...

In 2007 I used Custom Action with ControlClass to inject custom code to a form. It was very convenient to target custom functionality with way (e.g. enable it for a custom content type). In general I need to implement an import button on an issue form that will generate KB article and redirect to the created wiki page. Since for the r...
The security guy ask me to make a step where the approver need to re-authenticate when he approve the list item. All of the other part of the workflow is done except this one. The best solution would be to use the built in log-in of Sharepoint, but I don't know how to do that. I want to point out that I'm doing this workflow with visual ...
Over time, the code base I maintain has grown exponentially. We have a variety of different utility classes, webparts, event receivers, console applications, and more. Typically, each webpart lives in a separate DLL (one solution and one project per web part). Our utility classes have also been largely separated out into their own sepa...

Preface: I have a rolling upgrade to SharePoint 2010 in progress for one of our clients. Their content has been upgraded to 2010, but they remain on the old visual style; their site has not applied the visual upgrade. We're trying to ease them into the new interface piece by piece since some of our custom code also needs to be updated to...
