If I update an Assembly that holds a workflow, I have to restart the appropriate Windows Process to pick up the new Assemblies. For Web parts & stuff, this is just the IIS Application Pool in question (iisapp /r), and for Timer Jobs it is OWSTIMER.exe (net stop/start SPTimerV3) But who runs the workflows? Are they ran within IIS' Appli...
I'm trying to consume Sharepoint webservices with ruby. I've basically given up trying to authenticate with NTLM and temporarily changed the Sharepoint server to use basic authentication. I've been successful getting a WSDL using soap4r but still cannot authenticate when attempting to use an actual web service call. Has anyone had any...
Howdy, I have a complex sharepoint deploy with multiple EventReceivers and Workflows. I also have schema changes to existing lists, adding new columns of metadata and changing existing columns.

I have a SharePoint site that is locked down through standard Windows permissions. I keep getting an repeated login box prompt, and it appears that it has to do with the Themes images and the CSS style sheets. Where do I need to update permissions so that these files have the same permissions as the rest of the site and the user only...

Is it possible to get a list of events (with recurring events expanded) out of Sharepoint's Calendar using the Web Service exposed through Lists.aspx? This is evidently possible if you are using C# or VB, as described here using a snippet like this: SPQuery query = new SPQuery(); query.ExpandRecurrence = true; query.Query = "<Where><Da...

I've created a custom field type based on SPFieldLookup. When I use SharePoint's "Export to Spreadsheet" function, however, it's not rendered correctly. For normal lookup fields, only the Lookup Value is rendered. For my custom field, the string representation of the lookup value is used (i.e., "1;#My Lookup Value"). Is there a way to ...

I have noted that the default SharePoint databases are created with a "Full" in Recovery Model, 1 Mb autogrowth on Data and a 10% growth on the log file. I know that these settings should be adjusted to the specific customer, but I have not yet been able to find any rules of thumb about the optimal db settings. In which way do you twea...

Who developes against SharePoint and is there anyone out there who would be called an Expert?

We have a site that needs to (as part of our process) generate a document (e.g. Word docx document) that is derived from data within our application merged with a template document. This document can be edited at run time by the user after it is generated. We know we are looking at a CMS like system (since the users will need to be abl...
