If I were a SharePoint psychiatrist, (which indeed I may very well be...) I would have a list of panaceas tantamount to what a therapist might actually tell a real patient.  For example: To a patient: "You have a lot to live for!" "She Read More...
Have you ever tried to use custom layouts to programmatically provision web part pages via the SharePoint API?  F that!  It seems to me like you need to take a dependency on MOSS and the Office Server publishing infrastructure.  All this Read More...
Before I developed my client-centric model for creating ASP.NET pages, I handled everything in code-behind, especially any dynamic HTML. I really only used JavaScript for quick-and-dirty DOM updates; any concept of creating controls was implemented via Read More...
As I dig deeper and deeper into AJAX and client side programming in my ASP.NET web apps, more and more logic is being moved from managed code behind my UIs to lose JavaScript files and script controls. Of course, this means that more and more debugging Read More...
I just finished getting AJAX 3.5 working on SharePoint 2007 for an internal project I'm working on, and now I learn that we are going to be migrating our server from a Windows Server 2003 VM to a brand spankin' new Windows Server 2008 box.  So I Read More...

I’m sure we all know the difference between HTML input controls of type “submit” and “button” with respect to an ASP.NET web form. But just in case you don’t, the major different is that submits (which are what ASP.NET buttons ultimately render) will Read More...
What??? SharePoint 2007 Service Pack 1 will support AJAX? Awesome! Even though I already have all my hacks and workarounds in place to get it to work, explicit support will be great! Not only will my development experience be a lot cleaner and easier, Read More...
Now don’t get me wrong: compared to all other control suites I’ve used, ASP.NET AJAX has been, in terms of the whiz-bang-features-slash-make-my-life-easier vs. deal-with-the-hell-of-trying-to-make-other-people’s-code-do-exactly-what-I-want metric, the Read More...
