• DrJim HelloWorld sample not working

  Hi, I've got the HelloWorld sample application working perfectly on one of my laptops. But today I tried to run it on a different laptop and it fails to run properly. Both laptops have similar installations (CSF Dev edition for XP) and use similar app.config and manifest.xml files. After I press the "CreateSession" button I get a messagebox displaying a SOAPFaultException: Internal server error occurred. I tried to get more detailed exception information, but nothing was written to the event log and using the VS2005 debugger didn't help either. Does anybody know how I can track this error Greetings, Leon Zandman Stringray wrote: The thing that bothers me is, that in ...Show All

• oceanhai Can you use Active Directory Manager data in workflow?

  I can’t seem to find a way to automatically rout a workflow task to a user’s manager using the person’s "manager" value from Active Directory. This seems like such a basic task, but I don’t see any option for it in the workflow roles available in SharePoint or SharePoint Designer. Has anyone had luck with this I would like to know how to do this as well. If it must be done in Visual Studio and not SharePoint Designer that is ok. As long as it's C# and not VB. Thanks Hi All, I'm very interested in knowing how to get the Manager from Profiles as well. It's a fundamental request from lot of customers who want to create workflows using SPD. Hope ...Show All

• ShiningMasamune Document Library WebPart and Folder Navigation

  Hi, I have created a Document Library and am using folders rather than columns for organization. This is largely because when users upload more than one document at a time they are not prompted to tag them with metatdata and then lose thier files amongst the existing documents. It is difficult for them to then find the documents and edit the properties after the fact. With this being said, it is more convenient for them to navigate to the appropriate folder and then upload the multiple documents. The one issue with navigating the folders is with the Document Library Web Part. I can't find a way for them to navigate up a directory. The "Up" button is no longer in the toolbar. The breadcrumbs don't work like they do if you ...Show All

• Narcomancer Sharepoint 2007 Approval Workflow - Flow pauses after Approval

  We are having a problem with the Approval Workflow (and other workflows) within Sharepoint 2007. Everytime we start a Workflow, the Workflow is Initiated, and the Task is created. The user then gets an email. When the user opens that task and clicks the Approve (or Reject, or Request Change or Reassign) button, the Workflow is stopped in its tracks. After hitting Approve, the "waiting" animation goes and it looks like it is doing something. It Completed the task, but doesn't finish the Workflow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• SeanTom24 How to hide the Permalink/Email this Post/Comments links in Blog posts

  I created a blog site and it works great. One question I have is whether it's possible to hide the three links (Permalink, Email this Post, and Comments) under every post If so how Thanks Bob The SharePoint Designer way (in case anybody is curious) would be to open the main page in SharePoint Designer, delete the existing web parts, and create new DataView webparts of the existing content that would not have those special links built into them. I'm also interested in how this is accomplished. I have disabled the ability for blog readers to post comments. However, given the technical ability of my audience, simply having the links there will pose a problem. Does anyo ...Show All

• Bryce Cogswell Stored procedure vs standard query

  hi, I am in process of evaluating that for simple CRUD operations(select,update,delete,insert), should we use stored procedures or should we fire queries directly from DAL for performance enhancement leaving aside the fact the stored procedure pproach will mix the data access and business logic . If somebody could provide any microsoft URL link giving clearcut recommendation on the same,it would be of great help to me. Regards Actually for simple queries it doesn't make much difference whether you use sp or queries from app code. only when it comes to complicated queries you have to make decision between performance vs maintainability/IPR/Security. But CLR coming in SQL server may be that ...Show All

  Hello, Our organization is heavily using areas and sub areas for business divisions (finance, IT and etc). We are planning to upgrade to MOSS 2007 .I know that SPS Areas no longer exist in MOSS 2007 and therefore they would be chnaged to subsites, but I don't know what is the disadvantage of this change in terms of hirarchy (taxonomy) to us Any planning article on this Thanks a lot When you upgrade from SPS 2003 to MOSS 2007 the areas are converted to publishing sites.
