Because there are many questions about this behavior, I want to blog about it.
You might have noticed, that if you simply click on a document, it will be opened in read-only mode. You have to use the dropdown and select “Edit in …” to open it with read-write access.
There is a Knowledgebase article available, which describes the problem and offers a solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870853/en-us
To change the default behavior, you’ll have to change the registry on each client!
Enabling the developer dashboard is very easy. It can be done via stsadm (or Powershell or the OM).
To enable it on demand means, that you will get a small icon at the top right corner next to your user name.
stsadm -o setproperty -pn developer-dashboard -pv OnDemand
Todd Bleeker posted an article about SharePoint Abbreviations.
To make it short: WSS isn’t anymore. We now call it SPF 2010. And MOSS is simply SPS 2010. So here is the naming history of SharePoint, or simply SP 🙂
SPS 2001 > SPS 2003 > MOSS 2007 > SPS 2010
OWC > STS > WSS > WSS v3 > SPF 2010

Jacob Reimers has written an C# API for accessing Google Analytics data.
When I saw his post, I thought it would be great to fetch the latest data every day, and write it to a SharePoint list. Then you can use the data, without querying Google for every request.
You could then use the ChartPart for SharePoint to generate nice charts from your Google Analytics data.
E.g. one for the visits for the last month.
Fabian hat es auf seinem Blog schon geschrieben. Deshalb werde ich auch über unser Projekt bloggen.
Zusammen schreiben wir ein Buch zum Thema Anwendungsentwicklung mit SharePoint 2010. Das Buch richtet sich an Entwickler, Anwender und Administratoren und hat das Ziel, Wege aufzuzeigen, mit denen Unternehmenslösungen mit SharePoint 2010 realisiert werden können.
The SDK says: “An SPView object that represents the default view.”
But if you want to change e.g. the ViewFields from the default view, you cannot use SPList.DefaultView.ViewFields.Add(fieldname);
Instead use
SPView defaultView = list.Views[list.DefaultView.ID]; defaultView.ViewFields.Add(fieldname); // internal field name defaultView.Update(); to modify the default view. It seems the DefaultView property cannot modify the View itself.
Microsoft has released Language Packs for SP 2010. Thank you. Now I can try to upgrade existing Installations 🙂
But wait. The Languages Packs won’t install on my Windows 7. It says they need a Windows Server 2008 x64. Right. But it’s the same with the Server itself. We have to modify the config file, to support an installation on a non Server OS.

Roger Lamb has posted an article about SharePoint objects, which must not be disposed. He also wrote about changes to SP 2010 regarding disposing objects.

I guess everybody knows by now. But if not: The beta 2 of Visual Studio 2010 brings SharePoint Development tools as an option.
After all the Videos and Screencasts about SP 2010 development, I wanted to try it myself. So I installed VS 2010 on my notebook.
An SQL Server 2008 has already been installed. I’ll skip that part as well.
So here we go…
Oh. Did I say thank you to you MS guys for supporting SP 2010 on Windows 7?
