And the SharePoint MVP Award Goes To…

Me! That’s right, yours truly is a shiny new SharePoint (WSS) MVP. How cool is that? As with any award, there are lots of people to thank. First and foremost, my thanks go to the one-and-only Bob Fox, who looks after me, tries to keep me out of trouble (hey, he’s not perfect) and without […]

SharePoint and ASP.NET Code Behind Pages

In a follow on to his earlier post regarding SharePoint development, Andrew Connell has posted detailed instructions on how to create, configure and deploy ASPX pages using code-behind files in SharePoint 2007.  What I found most interesting in this article are the detailed solution package instructions and XML samples, both of which are sadly lacking […]

Updated RSS Aggregator Web Part

I have posted an updated version of my RSS Aggregator web part here.  The new version includes some stability enhancements, better error reporting, and the option to open links in a new window.  Unfortunately I don’t have time at the moment to implement some of the other changes people have asked for, like XSL Formatting and […]

The SharePoint Application Platform Debate

Andrew Connell posted some thoughts regarding the use of SharePoint as an application platform in response to a post by Jeffrey Palermo (Full Disclosure – Headspring Systems, the firm Jeffrey works for, is one of our clients but I’ve never met nor spoken with him).  Jeffrey seems to be arguing against SharePoint because it cannot be […]

Sean Skinner has posted the slides from his presentation on Building Scalable and Secure Line of Business (LOB) Applications with SharePoint 2007 at the DFW SharePoint Community meeting on September 18th.  Get ’em while they’re hot!

September UK User Group Meeting Presentation Links

Last Monday’s user group meeting in Reading was full of excellent information.  Patrick Tissegham had to distill a week’s worth of information into about an hour and a half but he did a fine job introducing the group to Office Business Applications (OBA).  Steve Lamb reminded us that Security Matters and made some very good points […]

Just a Quick Thank You

I just wanted to throw out a big THANK YOU to Andrew Connell and Sean Skinner for delivering some great presentations to the DFW SharePoint Community group on Tuesday night.  The downside to participating in two user groups on opposite sides of the pond is that sometimes they conflict with each other and I have to choose […]

Becoming Part of the SharePoint Community

My blogging is a bit light this week as I am in the UK working on delivery of a big project to a client here.  While skimming my mountain of RSS feeds I noticed a new one from my numero uno amigo Bob Fox on SharePoint communities that’s a must read.  Go check it out.

Reminder – UK User Group Meeting Sept. 17th

Just a reminder to all my UK friends and fellow SharePointers that the UK User Group meeting will be held on Monday, September 17th at Thames Valley Park in Reading.  I will be there a bit early and staying late for any after-meeting pub action so be sure to stop by and say ‘Howdy’ (and no, I won’t […]

Using GetContentTypes with the Webs Web Service

I’ve been working on updating our SharePoint Utilities with support for Site Columns and Content Types in SharePoint 2007.  Ideally, I would like the tool to have the ability to create site columns and content types on the fly it it sees them in the list structure and they don’t already exist on the site.  […]
