Developing a Windows Service is a common task. Creating an EventLog for this service also is a common practice. The EventLog can be created with a ServiceInstaller (a class which inherits from System.Configuration.Install.Installer).
This is how an Eventlog can be added during the installation with a custom Installer class:
public Installer() { Installers.Add(new EventLogInstaller { Source = "EventLogSource", Log = "EventLogName" }); The EventLogInstaller class does not allow to set the overwrite mode.

Crawling PDF files can be a long running process with the Adobe PDF iFilter. We already knew that.
Jie Li compared 3 iFilters for indexing PDF files.
To make it short, the Adobe iFilter takes roughly about 33 times the time compared to the Foxit iFilter 2 on that particular server.
See all details…
Depending on the configuration of you databases, the log files (*.ldf) can be very large. See Selecting a Recovery Model.
Should I continue reading?
If your databases are configured to use the FULL recovery model, the log files are very large and you need some free space, you can use this SQL script to shrink them. So keep on reading 🙂
The script will change the recovery model for a single database to SIMPLE and shrink the log files.
Recently I wanted to copy a subweb to a new site collection, so it will there be the rootweb. How can the web be moved? stsadm export is your friend. At least I thought…

Problem:
Even if you configure your SharePoint site as Intranet in the Internet Explorer, you will be prompted for user credentials when you open an Office document with Office 2007.
This is true, if you haven’t configured a proxy in your browser, access your SharePoint site with a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) and you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Cause:
(Quote from the KB aticle below) In Windows Vista, Internet Explorer uses the Web Client service when you use Internet Explorer to access a WebDAV resource.

There is some interesting new information about SharePoint eating up memory. Take a look at the details in the post SharePoint’s Sasquatch Memory Leak over at Todd Carters blog.
The evil seems to be many HttpApplications, which are not disposed properly. So every request creates a new HttpApplication, which eats up our memory at the FE servers.
And by the way, it does not mean we don’t have to get rid of our SharePoint objects as well 🙂
I’ve just seen that the RC is available via MSDN.
Silverlight 4 is not supported in the RC it says in the notes. Have to try SharePoint Development against the Beta 2…
