The Journey of SharePoint(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by ZlatanDzinic(130) 3 years, 2 months ago

First with Tahoe, then SharePoint 2003 since its release hasn't really raised too many eyebrows worldwide. As brilliant as they were as web content management platforms, they found it a bit harder to compete and make proper presence in Enterprise Content Management market, and be part of the revolutionising enterprises and bringing Enterprise 2.0 conceptual architectures. read more...

SharePoint Governance(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by ZlatanDzinic(130) 3 years, 3 months ago

Without governance SharePoint Server as an Enterprise Content Management Platform is nothing more than a gimmick that although it appeared very impressive initially, it will bring little or no benefit to your organisation or enterprise over a longer period of time, it will become a burden to maintain and business will soon forget it leaving it completely ravaged from years (or months) of misuse to some poor consultants to migrate it in that state to a new version of the same or, most likely, different platform, as by then client would think that the fault all along was with SharePoint (or any other ECM platform in that unfortunate situation). read more...

Few updates regarding the new SharePoint/Office release(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by ZlatanDzinic(130) 3 years, 4 months ago

Ok so more (unofficial yet non NDA) info on the new version of SharePoint. So first of all Microsoft is still very hard at work on Office 14 (which actually should've been 13 but it seems like there is more than just a few superstitious people at Microsoft Office Product Team). There is no clear indication on when the new version will be released and some sceptics are even talking about it being released in 2010. Uncertainty is also evident from the fact that the date for this year's SharePoint Conference (2009) is still unknown as it was meant to happen shortly after the release of the new version of SharePoint and Office System. read more...

Updating ListView Web Part Views in SharePoint 2007(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by ZlatanDzinic(130) 3 years, 4 months ago

Recently I got a question about a similar task that I had earlier last year and it involved a case where there were many (and I mean many) SharePoint 2007 sites and subsites containing webparts that had views showing certain SharePoint list information. However customer later realised that they needed the webpart views to contain the same view as the default view of the SharePoint list. So they asked if this can be done somehow automatically as a lot of time would be wasted updating each and every web part view manually (considering the amount of sites). read more...

Workflow Foundation .NET 4.0 not quite the cousin of WF .NET 4.0(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by ZlatanDzinic(130) 3 years, 5 months ago

Check this out, it appears that WF 4.0 is a completely new framework, not related in any way to WF 3.0/3.5. Good news is that you can still use old 3.0/3.5 activities as long as you wrap them in a interop activity. read more...

LINQ to SQL..... she is dead, deceased .. just something in the past(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by ZlatanDzinic(130) 3 years, 5 months ago

Following bunch of announcements about .NET 4.0, ADO.NET team makes a not so surprising announcement that LINQ to SQL is dead in favour of the .NET Entity Framework (http://blogs.msdn.com/adonet/archive/2008/10/29/update-on-linq-to-sql-and-linq-to-entities-roadmap.aspx). read more...

SharePoint AJAX RSS Aggregator WebPart(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by ZlatanDzinic(130) 3 years, 5 months ago

Well here's what came out of this experiment, although this is more for messing around, to see how it works and for an odd chance that someone is permanently displaying a screen with aggregated RSS feeds that needs smooth updates (every 30 seconds or so). It uses my favourite UpdatePanel and also Ticker control. read more...

Updated SharePoint RSS Aggregator Web Part(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by ZlatanDzinic(130) 3 years, 5 months ago

I took this opportunity to update the web part as well (actually on request from some people that are using it), so I changed it to use LINQ for parsing the XML data. I also fixed up a small issue with filtering tag/category terms. Here's the link to the Codeplex project were you can download the wsp file and source code: http://www.codeplex.com/RSSAggregator read more...

Microsoft Technology Interoperability Improvements for PHP(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by ZlatanDzinic(130) 3 years, 11 months ago

PHP websites usually sit on Open Source platforms that require skills that are usually scarce and quite expensive as such. Linux distributions are usually hailed as secure and stable but they are not proper enterprise server platforms, SUSE was very close to being that, but eventually Novell just gave up on it (as most of you know). read more...
