Visual Studio allow a F5 Deployment. I guess you all know that. The part where you have to think carefully is, when you add Features to your project. Should you activate “Activate On Default”? Well, it depends (as always). Usually I don’t enable that setting, because features tend to be activated on scopes you won’t expect. The problem Take a WebApplication scoped feature for example. It might create SafeControl entries for your controls.

If you are indexing you DFS with SharePoint 2007/2010, you should take a look at this hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967671. It addresses this issue “When you crawl the file shares in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, you experience poor performance”.

Developing solution with multiple languages (or a language which is not English) sometimes can be a bit painful. To configure a Webpart to display only my tasks, I would filter for [Me] or [Ich].

Events on SPListItems like ItemAdding or ItemAdded are nothing new. Many of you have already used them. Recently I had a requirement to create a new SPSite, when an item in a list has been created. So an ItemReceiver was my choice. But the customer wants something special 🙂 During the creation process, which takes some seconds, the user should see a loading animation. Here comes the problem. The ItemEventReceiver is running in the background, and has no knowledge about the GUI process.

The Tools have been released for VS 2012. Great!

In diesem Jahre geht es rund mit Veranstaltungen. Nach der SharePoint Konferenz bin ich auch beim ShareCamp dabei und auf der ShareConf mit einem Vortrag dabei. Mal schauen was noch so kommt 🙂

If you run into the problem that you can’t delete properties within the User Profile Service Application, an Exception like this will be shown: To resolve the problem, grant “Full Control” permissions to the administrative Applicationpools group (WSS_WPG). Now you should be able to delete properties again.
