While working on our iTechnology Forms Accelerator I encountered an interesting SharePoint-related development situation I want to share with you.We all know installing WSS 3.0 with the Basic configuration adds the flavor of SQL Server Embedded Edition (aka WYukon or Windows Internal Database). There is not much official information on the topic but it seems that this edition has not many but

Just few days ago, our partner Nintex announced the release of its third generation SharePoint workflow product, Nintex Workflow 2010. The release completes an 18 month effort to create a product that lives up to its motto of "Workflow for Everyone." The new Nintex Workflow 2010 empowers both business users and IT pros to quickly and easily automate business processes by adding a drag and drop

There has always been some fight in the SharePoint community as to which is better: web templates, site definitions or features for creating a new SharePoint 2007 website. Some consultants even go further and claim that one or more of the approaches should be avoided at all costs. Hell, even at Microsoft are not on the same page and state different things in the bunch of MSDN articles they have

SharePoint troubleshootingA significant part of building a product is actually proving it works the way your customer expects. Doing so you inevitably perform debugging and performance testing. Issues are expected and tackled until satisfaction. It`s all a standard approach where troubleshooting exists, but as a part of the development.The real purpose here, of SharePoint is to serve your clients

By Hristo Yankov If you would like to generate some charts in Microsoft SharePoint 2007, after a quick search you will find that there is no such out-of-the-box functionality. You shouldn't worry, though, as there is a free web part available at Codeplex, which has everything you need for your list-based charting needs. It is called "ChartPart for SharePoint" and is available here.

There are numerous times when iTechnology consultants have had requests to determine user’s effective permissions around SharePoint sites. With SharePoint 2007 and WSS 3.0 displaying them in a tree format is currently not possible out-of-the-box. This is why we have built a small web part to display them on a desired site for our clients. In this post I will get you through the FREE download,

My SharePoint tips or lessons learned in practiceIn this post I would like to share my list of things to keep-in-mind when working on a SharePoint solution for a localized environment.

Hope this saves you some time :-)Lesson 1: Strong internal nameWhen creating a new SharePoint field use strong internal name.

As the latest .net framework is officially out you are definitely getting more determined to put your latest experiments out in the wild. No doubt it`d be beneficial to make use of those new features, optimizations and capabilities, but just not yet. SharePoint 2010 is close to official but even so - migration

If you haven't seen what it looks like, here is an example:  You will notice that it features: autocomplete, icon, matches what you type and when you click a result item, it takes you to the appropriate page.

By Hristo Yankov   ASP.NET MVC philosophy is "Skinny Controller, Fat Model, Stupid View". The focus of today's post is "stupid view". What does this mean? Well, it means that you should avoid writing any logic in your views. A view should be as simple as wrapping the model's properties in html tags. If you are cornered, and must have some kind of a login in your view, it would be nice if it is

By Hristo YankovRecently I noticed that a common reason for developers to seek help on the MSDN forum is related to difficulties understanding and/or utilizing the SharePoint Web Services. You can't blame the developers. It's much more convenient to work with an Object Oriented API, rather than exchanging XML messages with a Web Service. For example, take a look at the Lists.asmx -> GetListItems.
