Something that's been passed over in all of my Hybrid Provider work has been some of the cool little tweaks I've come up with to get some of the "supporting characters" to work. If custom SharePoint authentication plays the lead role, then login pages, 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...
Every once in a while, you stumble onto something in programming that saves several days of thinking or several weeks of brute force. I just stumbled onto such a gem. If you Google how to use JavaScript to manipulate an ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit Accordion, Read More...
Today must be national "IE 6 Is A Piece Of Dog Crap" day... I’m using some JavaScript in a script control to hook mouseover on a table element using $addHandler and a callback (so I can pass a parameter to my event handler), like so: $addHandler(tableInstance, Read More...
Radio buttons are kind of annoying. They always seem to have some little quark about them that doesn’t quite seem to get us all the way there. Besides, they are gratuitous: if you need a single selection from several options, you can use a dropdown; if Read More...
“Nothing on the web should ever take more than five seconds,” a mentor of mine once said. I’ve kept that in mind every time I’ve ever had to deal with a timeout issue. “This report could take over thirty minutes to run,” my clients always seem to say. Read More...
In a recent post , I discussed how to open a web page in Excel…that is, in the actual Excel Office application, not in a crap-like Excel browser window. Well, the users loved it and inevitably wanted more. Whenever you see Excel exportation in your requirements, Read More...
I have finally gotten around to playing with asynchronous ASP.NET AJAX JSON web services, and WHAT a beautiful thing they are! You can call a .NET web service asynchronously from the client, and play with a full object in JavaScript as the response all Read More...
Exporting to Excel seems like a feature that everyone wants to see. I feel as though if I’m not mimicking or automating Excel in some way, I’m dumping data directly into it. Anyways, you can Google dozens of ways to get an ASP.NET 2.0 web application 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...
Real quick: if you’re ever working in ASP.NET and a page loads without any indication of an error other than there being 100% no content whatsoever, check the code in global.asax in that project. I had an application that did all sorts of nonsense in Read More...
I’ve been hitting the forums up lately to see if I can make the world a better place one SharePoint issue at time. Well, apparently, this SharePoint world is in really bad proverbial shape, and one of the largest oppressors is Active Directory. “How do 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...
