I wrote a Console application, which will allow you do some common tasks for your SharePoint environment. stsadm lacks some functionality like recyling all list items from a list… Just copy the exe to your SharePoint Server, and execute it with an account which has the appropriate rights on your farm. Usage: SharePointConsole http://siteurl[/weburl] Command [Parameter1 Parameter2] The SharePointConsole has the following parameters: EnumContentTypes CreateContentType RenameContentType DeleteContentType DeleteAllListItems ShowInNewForm ShowInEditForm ShowInDisplayForm DeleteAllVersions RecycleAllVersions SetTitleWithFilename SetSearchCenterUrl SystemUpdate FeatureManager EmptyRecycleBin EnumContentType:

Sometimes you have only the type of an object, which you want to create. Meaning you want to create an object dynamically. This is how you would achieve your goal: In my case I wanted to create a SPField from its typename. 1: string typename = “Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldText, Microsoft.SharePoint, “+ <span class=lnum> 2: </span> <span class=str>"Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"</span>; 3: Type t = Type.GetType(typename, true, true); <span class=lnum> 4: </span><span class=kwrd>object</span> newObject = System.

In the SDK are examples on how to create an audience which adds a rule like: 1: AudienceRuleComponent r1 = new AudienceRuleComponent("FirstName", "Contains", "John"); But how do you create a rule which takes the membership of an Active Directory Group? Well, look at this: 1: string groupName = "CN=Users,CN=Builtin,DC=domain,DC=tld"; <pre style="padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;font-size:8pt;padding-bottom:0px;margin:0em;overflow:visible;width:100%;color:black;border-top-style:none;line-height:12pt;padding-top:0px;font-family:consolas, 'Courier New', courier, monospace;border-right-style:none;border-left-style:none;background-color:#f4f4f4;border-bottom-style:none"><span style="color:#606060"> 2:</span> AudienceRuleComponent r1 = <span style="color:#0000ff">new</span> AudienceRuleComponent(<span style="color:#006080">"DL"</span>, <span style="color:#006080">"Member of"</span>, groupName);</pre> To get the ‘distinguishedName’ from a group, you can use ADSI Edit (open up a MMC and add the ADSI Edit Snap-In).

Do you connect to different networks regularly? Well, I do. Switching the proxy each time is annoying. Here is the solution: Marco wrote a great tool, which will switch your IE proxy based on the Gateway IP or the DNS Suffix 🙂 Have a look at it: http://blog.mwiedemeyer.de/2007/08/16/ProxySwitcherV102.aspx Quote: Proxy Switcher is a little helper tool for switching between different proxy settings. If you are at many locations, e.g. at work, home, hotel, etc.

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.

Did you ever want to crawl a remote SharePoint site and were unsuccessfull doing so? Well I did. The only solution I found, was not to crawl the remote site with the default crawler credentials, but with an account from the remote site. You can do so by creating a crawl rule in your SharedServices Provider, which only includes the remote site.

You can specify a Target Audience in a Webpart, for it to only be visible to e.g. members of a certain AD group. Have you ever wonderd yourself why on earth the new group does not appear in the list and is not valid? Well, I did 🙁 The reason is quite simle. Shortly after the userimport from your AD or another LDAP source there is another import started. This one imports groups and memberships.

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.
