CKS:EBE

Finally I found the time to enable the Enhanced Blog Edition on my blog. As you can see, the layout did change 🙂 The EBE also brings some new functionality like comment spam detection, trackbacks and a cleaner RSS feed. So if you are using the old URL for my RSS feed, please update it to http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ReneHezser The new feed URL may result in duplicate RSS items. The EBE is not a final version.

SharePoint Dispose Checker Tool

As I posted earlier, MS was working on a tool which will analyze your code if you are coding against SharePoint. Here is a short description: It provides assistance in correctly disposing of certain SharePoint objects to help you follow published best practice. This tool may not show all memory leaks in your code. Further investigation is advised if you continue to experience issues. SPDisposeCheck.exe takes the path to a managed .

Upgrading a solution fails

In a SharePoint farm with multiple servers, features have to be deployed to every server. No problem you would think. That is why we got solutions and deploy them with stsadm.
