We have a MOSS 2007 installation where we rely on jQuery to handle automatic rotation of tabs in webparts, animation of sliding menus and tool panels. Intermittently we get the "Operation Aborted" error with our IE 6 users. While we confirmed that this results from manipulating the DOM before it has been completely loaded on the clie...
Hi, I have created a Custom Edit Form for a custom list using SharePoint designer. I need to check that the current user is the author of the list item before displaying the form as only the author should be able to edit this content. I don't have server access so want to do this in the form itself using XSL. So far, I haven't been able...
How much of ASP.NET or C# is required for Sharepoint development? Do you need experience with things like developing N layered web applications, design patterns, test driven development, strong SQL background etc? I hear that Sharepoint development is different from enterprise applications thats typically built with technologies like AS...

I'm trying to move a SharePoint site from one server to another. I'm supposed to move all the users with their permissions as well. I've been told that the best way to do that is to export the users from the AD and then import the list on the target server. Is this the best way to accomplish this? How do I export only the users and p...
In January, MS released a CTP of VS Extensions for SharePoint v1.3. Has anyone used these? What have your experiences been? We used the previous version and did not like how much was hidden/abstracted from the developers. We eventually abandoned the extensions and create our own WSP's with MakeCab.exe. ...Peter ...
To simplify our SharePoint environment I am wanting to have a central and single location where all of the master pages are stored so I was hoping to reference the masterpage files directly from the _layouts directory. I add the files to the "\LAYOUTS\MyMasterPages" directory and then update the SPWeb object to use that path: web.Maste...
I’ll keep it short and sweet. Does anyone really know what the "ListTemplateOwner" tag of the elements.xml's "Receivers" node really means? From Microsoft’s site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms431081(loband).aspx ListTemplateOwner: Optional Text. Specifies the GUID of the list template owner if the list template is regis...

You can use the "Data View" webpart to take data from a database call, then you can edit the XSLT manually to make it look and do whatever you want, within the scope of that data and XSLT capabilities. Is there a web part that allows me to do the same thing, but with data that is received by a connected webpart source rather than a data...

What is the correct way to call unmanaged code such as a COM API through .Net interop from a code that is being executed in a partially trusted environment? While developing an ASP.Net WebPart for Microsoft SharePoint I had to communicate with another system through its COM API. I solved this issue temporarily by changing SharePoint's p...
Hello. I`m new to SharePoint, so I guess how do I need to handle exceptions? When I write custom code do I have to check for them or maybe, if they are thrown, they automatically get logged and don't break the app? If not, then how do I log them? Thank you! Edit: And how should I log those exceptions? ...

I am writing a timer job for the first time. I am following the examples that can be obtained by googling as my reference. In many such articles, I am coming across the timer job features being activated to the Site Collection level or the Site level.
