My assembly: MyServerControl.dll (MyServerControl, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3249363c0f6f8c59) I can manually add it to...
I've created a custom content type that inherits from the built in Contact content type in WSS 3.0. When I create a list instance and assign my custom content type, there is no "Connect to Outlook" option like there would be if an end user created a new "Contact" directly. Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation of SharePoin...

I've been tasked with creating a SharePoint web part for our new web site. One of the things it needs to know is which AD groups the current user belongs to (each site user will belong to one or more special security groups within the domain.) Is there a part of the SharePoint API that exposes this information, or do I need to query AD d...
I want to build a custom content type that will be the basis of a list item that will have multiple states. The various states will determine which list will instantiate this item. It will move between the states, and therefore the lists, based on user actions. I have a few choices to implement this: Create workflows on each list th...
How does one verify a text field with another list's column? I am currently populating a Drop down list with a datasource and then comparing the text field with items in the dropdown using javascript. Is there a better way?

I'm currently working on moving a legacy Visual FoxPro app to the web. Our plans included purchasing an application framework such as Strataframe or MM .NET, both VFP friendly, and also some third-party controls to speed up development. Well, we recently heard that we're probably going to have to host this app using "out of the box" Sh...
I'm trying to consume the standard SharePoint web service GetWeb in the code-behind of an InfoPath form. The form is hosted as part of a workflow, so loaded inside the browser with Forms Services. It therefore runs on the credentials of the current user logged into SharePoint. The web service runs if the user is in the Owner group of the...
Our current SharePoint environment has Mysites setup as separate site collections where users create their blogs. It is a real challenge to know these blogs indivdually and I usually grab the RSS feed the first time I visit and then susbcribe from within Outlook. To help out non-techies, we'd like to be able to consolidate the entries fr...

I have tried to use the wsdl.exe tool to generate some wrapper classes but the generated wrappers seem to have punted on the structure parameters ...
I'm a student in a SharePoint class online. This problem has riddled everyone I've discussed it with, including the teacher. There seems to be some sort of problem when I create a workflow with the collect data action. I can create workflows that send e-mails and use the other actions just fine. What could be causing this problem? My re...
I have a WSS 3.0 system using SSL where every page is supposed to be served as https. Almost all pages do come out as https, but in certain cases I click on a link and that brings up an http version of a page (which does not load). In those cases I have to put the 's' in by hand to get the page to load. Places where this happens are: /...

Hi folks, I have a design conundrum that I could use some feedback on, so I'm hoping my fellow SharePoint experts can help me work this out. I am managing a set of Projects in a single MOSS List (List1), where the "Project Name" column will be treated as a 'primary key' (at least in my mind) for related Lists. Each Project will have as...

I was asked to create a very simple dashboard using a Sharepoint list as my data source using the Dashboard Designer tool. I can create the datasource, retrieve the list and see the data in a tabular format. Now, when I try creating a KPI or a ScoreCard out of that list, I get a 'Unable to retrieve list' error. Has anybody else run in...
