Imagine you have a list (or document library) which has lots of items. Nothing fancy here. Now add a lookup or user field and allow it to contain multiple values. Inside a view for this list you can filter e.g. for the title column. The filter dropdown shows all possible values for the column. Here comes the clue. If the item count of the list reaches a number somewhere between 400 and 500 items, the filter dropdown changes.

There is a Wiki out there with code samples and articles about SharePoint. Check it out at http://www.wsswiki.com/Technorati Tags: SharePoint,WSSWiki

After you install a hotfix or update for SharePoint, you have to run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard. Sometimes it is aborting with an error. You will get a link to a log file. This is something like “PSCDiagnostics_10_17_2008_16_53_57_799_923424762.log”. In my case I got a timeout error: ———————————————————- 10/17/2008 16:55:59 1 ERR Fehler beim Initialisieren des Updates der SharePoint-Produkte und -Technologien. Eine Ausnahme vom Typ ‘System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException’ wurde ausgelöst. Weitere Ausnahmeinformationen: Der Vorgang wurde nicht abgeschlossen, da der Timeout abgelaufen ist.

Are you looking for a Sourcecontrol for your projects? Well, I was. Here is where I ended up: SourceGear Vault. It will store the your sourcecode in a SQL table, use the IIS for access, and brings along a client and Visual Studio integration. What could you want more? And the best of it, it is free! Quote: Somebody said that Vault is free for a single user. Is this true?

As you might already know, you can create new fields with SPFieldCollection.AddFieldAsXml(string schema). The schema contains the formula for the calculated field. There are some points to take care of, before you can add the field: make sure your referenced fieldnames are the display names and not the internal field names the formula has to be in the English format Changing the fieldnames is an easy task. If you read the schema from a field and want to create a new one with the same formula, you will get something like “=if(fieldA,1,2)”.

From now on there will be cumulative updates (formerly know as hotfix) every two months. The first cumulative update is the August 26 updates for WSS and MOSS. These updates are only recommended, if you are experiencing the described problems. They will be included in the SP2.

The next generation Wiki Webpart is there! Sounds good J The (stupid) name remains, but the core has changed. What is it? With the Wiki Webpart you can upload images and documents from a Wiki edit page into existing picture/document libraries. After the file has been uploaded, a link will be inserted into the Wiki Content. This is either a or a tag, depending on the uploaded file. How does it work?
