I need to call a (HTTP) REST API as as POST call - basically, it allows me to post a message to a forum/community. Since, there is currently no way of authenticating over the API, I need to depend on browser cookies. ie, have the user logged in to the community and then use the API calls. This means, server proxies are ruled out. And b...

I've rebuilt my dll and copied it to the appropriate bin and then re-gac'ed it - same steps taken to deploy in the first place. However, when i access the services description...
We have a SharePoint list containing 50.000 items, and want to fetch some data from it without disabling SP2010's default throttling. From the MSDN artical on handling large lists, we figured the key ingredient would be using a small RowLimit on the SPQuery, and using ListItemCollectionPosition for batching. However, with our code (so...

Hi, In my sharepoint site, the master page template is chagned and we moved the search box into the site which showed as a web part, When the user enters a search string in that box, it should search whatever the materials available in the site itself, document library, blogs in the web, forums and wikis.

Hi all: I'm having trouble predicting when a workflow will start creating task. Basically, I needed to merge the newly created workflow task with an older version of the same task (which I have easy access to). Since the application in which I'm performing this process in is relatively long, I've placed the process which would create ...
My company have started to use Sharepoint. Now as a software developer I simply can not understand the advantages of such a system. To me it just looks like a browser based application through which you access/edit files; has windows not allowed this for 20 + years? I can understand it is an intranet for messages etc. so why not just a...

They have a site that contains 2 web parts; a list called "Company Directory" and below it, a list (I think) called My Information. Th...
