The "old" SharePoint Server 2003 offered the ability to display all alerts from a user on his/her MySite. MOSS and SharePoint 2010 lacks this functionality. So I wrote a Webpart, which will display all my alerts. Of course is multilingual. Currently there is English, German and Spanish language support included. And it will work on Windows SharePoint Services V3 as well ass SharePoint Foundation. You don’t need the Office Server / SharePoint Server 2010 for it 🙂
How about using the available resources from SharePoint to translate some basic words and sentences? Well, it is quite easy to use the available resources. You need the Microsoft.SharePoint.Intl.dll and some lines of code to use the already translated resources: // define yourself variables private readonly CultureInfo _Cult; private readonly Assembly _SharePoint_Intl_Assembly; private readonly ResourceManager _SharePoint_RM; private readonly ResourceManager _SharePoint_WebPartPage_RM; // initialize them in your constructor _SharePoint_Intl_Assembly = Assembly.Load("Microsoft.SharePoint.intl, Version=12.
Even if the Reporting Services are very powerfull, you might get to the point where you have to extend the building functionality. So why not write your own custom assembly with some additional code?
Create your assembly like this:
1: using System;<br> 2: using System.Security.Permissions;<br> 3: using Microsoft.SharePoint;<br> 4: <br> 5: public class MyNamespace<br> 6: {<br> 7: public class ReportingExtension<br> 8: {<br> 9: public ReportingExtension()<br> 10: {<br> 11: }<br> 12: <br> 13: public static string HelloWorld()<br> 14: {<br> 15: return "Hello World.
Please use my custom field type. It is more flexible –> http://www.hezser.de
I updated my Wiki Webpart. For all of you who don’t know what it does:
The normal Wiki Edit Form misses the ability to upload pictures. My Webpart, which has to be included to the EditForm.aspx, allows you to upload a picture. It also creates a link in your Wiki post, which displays the uploaded image.
This release of the Webpart is multi lingual.
The updated SDKs are now available for downloading.

Whenever you have an ID from a list item, you might want to create a link to its DispForm or EditForm. But how do you get the Url to the forms? 1: SPList list = something;
<span class=lnum> 2: </span>list.Forms[PAGETYPE.PAGE_DISPLAYFORM].Url;
For exception handling it is good practice to write errors to the eventlog.EventLog.WriteEntry(“SharePoint.Error”, errorText, EventLogEntryType.Error);
Since SP1 for Windows Server 2003 “the normal user” is not allowed to write to the eventlog. James Kovacs wrote a great article about the problem.
(Remember to create your eventlog source, if you have your own!) 1: if(!EventLog.SourceExists(“SharePoint.Error”, ".")) {
<span class=lnum> 2: </span> EventLog.CreateEventSource(<span class=str>"SharePoint.Error"</span>, <span class=str>"Application"</span>, <span class=str>"."</span>); 3: }
If you want the ID or the value form a LookupField, you can get it easily with this code snippet:SPListItem item = getitsomewhare… SPFieldLookupValue lf = (SPFieldLookupValue) item.ParentList.Fields.GetField(_FieldName).GetFieldValue( item.GetFormattedValue(_FieldName));
if you got the field, fetch its properties viaif (lf == null) { int itemID = lf.LookupId; string itemValue = lf.LookupValue; } Have fun ;-)
I started to write a Webpart, which shows the content of a remote website. You can specify logon information, as well as proxy information.
**It is not ready yet! But I was asked for it. So I will publish it unfinished!

Fetching a listitem by ID will generate an error, if the a listitem with the ID does not exist. To avoid this exception, you can get a listitem by id by searching for it:private SPListItem GetListItem(SPList List, int ListItemID) { try { string defaultView = List.DefaultView.Title; SPQuery query = new SPQuery(List.Views[defaultView]); string caml =
String.Format("{0}",
ListItemID); query.Query = caml; SPListItemCollection results = List.GetItems(query); if (results.Count == 1) { return results[0]; } } catch (Exception ex) { _ErrorMessage +=
