Atlanta .NET Regular Guys

A good friend of mine recently architected, developed and launched kroger.com using the MOSS 2007 platform.  This is yet another example of using it as a public facing site.  This isn’t to say that there weren’t a few hurdles, he mentioned many,...

So that title has nothing at all to do with the content of this post.  I just happen to like the book of similar name by Douglas Adams (of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fame) and thought it might fit the mishmash of details I'm going to throw in...

I generally don't post a link without much else but this was a no brainer and I feel every SharePoint developer, heck, every .NET developer needs to know this.  My friend and SharePoint pal, Doug Ware has discovered how to debug assemblies in the...

I had a real hard time coming up for a title for this post.  Here is what I am trying to explain in the title.  I had a need to create a custom List Template.  This can be done via a Feature.  The issue I ran across was I needed a...

Please join us on Monday, October 1 at 6:30 PM for the monthly Atlanta Cutting Edge .NET / MsPros / VB Study Group meeting. Note, for this meeting we will be meeting at Turner in midtown (1015 Techwood Drive) rather than the usual Microsoft offices. If...

I am not sure if this type of information has been posted before.  I looked around for a good 2 days or so trying to find a solution to my particular problem and could not.  Here is a short description of the problem. My current project involves...

If you are creating an externally accessible portal or extranet with SharePoint which uses Forms based authentication, business requirements such as Search and ECM Publishing might require you to create an intranet portal which uses NTLM or Kerberos authentication. ...

Have you ever gotten "Please wait while scripts are loaded..." in SharePoint 2007?  This is caused by a script error on the current SharePoint page.  To solve this problem just fix the javascript errors on the page and it should...

I've been working heads down on a project for the last several months which has consumed a huge portion of my time and probably some of my hair.  Even now, as I write this, I'm in the process of developing some stuff which was due last week, rebuilding...

One of the easiest ways to integrate SharePoint 2007 to SAP is using a predefined iView from SAP.  Of course this will display the same data and view that you would see in any other system that would display an iView, but it is a good start...

I've finally finished (almost) with the project that has been keeping me up late at night.  I want to thank Doug Ware, Brendon Schwartz, Dan Attis, and Adam Buenz for all the help they gave me over the past several months while I struggled to bring...

Have you ever been testing new web applications in SharePoint and constantly gotten the Runtime Error (Server Error in '/').  If you do get this error the real error might be displayed in the event log like the one I found below.  Exception...

SharePoint 2007 sites that are created can have many configuration options, due to this some options can be overlooked.  Most users are able to set the options that are in the Central Administration without any trouble because all of the options...

I stumbled across this link today that I never knew existed.  I have always had a hard time locating trial software, but look no more.  Here you will find links to download the following products, enjoy! Server Products and Technologies •BizTalk...

I don't remember if I posted this list before, but I maintain a list of user groups in the Atlanta area on DevCow.com and thought I would share it with everyone.  Each group that we keep up with is listed with a link to their site. ...

If you didn't know Me (Brendon), Matt and Dan worked on a SharePoint book this past year.  Today part of Matt's chapter, chapter 5 ("Programming Windows SharePoint Services") was posted on the Wrox website. You can check it out here:...

I am trying to determine what type of authentication the current SharePoint 2007 web site has, but no matter which SharePoint site I checked the AuthenticationMode of the SPWeb always seems to return WindowsAuthentication.  The site that...

Our good friend Doug Ware has uploaded a free tool that lest you skin a SharePoint 2007 site from within the UI.  This is a good way to get real time feed back on the changes you are making.  Go take it for a test spin and let him know...

What an obscure title for a blog entry eh?  I just want to make sure that if someone else searches for this, they will find it because I was spinning my wheels for 3 hours researching for this fix.  At any rate, here is what happened. I have...

The short answer is Yes it is, but there are reasons. There is a bigger problem than just Social Networking, which is that many enterprises are behind on the Web 2.0 push. I’m not sure they are behind, but there just isn't always a good business reason...

I was reading thru some blogs, namely that of Kevin DeRudder, today.  He recently posted some information on calculated fields.  I get questions pretty often from clients on the available formulas when creating a calculated field. ...
