SharePoint 2010 Demo: Automating Document Assembly
Ed Hild
pI captured a quick demo from the solution created in Chapternbsp;7 of our book Pro SharePoint 2010 Development which is available now. Apress is the publisher and you can find in on amazon or other preferred book store./p
pThis chapter shows you how to combine Visual Studio Tools for Office, SharePoint 2010, and the Open XML document format to create a compelling tool for constructing structured documents. For context, wenbsp;focused on a proposal. Say a sales person starts a new proposal from [read].

XBox 360 makes my Flip HD Camera even cooler
Ed Hild
pA while back I was given a Flip Ultra HD camera as a gift. This is a lovely camera that because of its convience has become the default video camera for my family to take on trips. The HD videos it creates are absolutely stunning. My first gotcha with the camera is that I wanted to be able to create DVDs of its videos. The issue here is that the Flip software stores its files as MP4s. When I first got it, you could export to WMV which is what i store most things in being that we have Zunes, etc [read].

Create a Visual Web Part that can be Sandboxed!
Ed Hild
pThis week we released the Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint Power Tools. This fills a gap that has often been a room gasp when I talk to developers. I'd spend some time telling them all the benefits of Sandboxed Solutions only to then tell them that they could use it if they wanted to develop using the Visual Web Part template. This little guy here solves that problem. Enjoy!/p

Remove branding from a SharePoint 2010 web part page for use in a dashboard
Ed Hild
pI've been working on a proof of concept using PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint 2010 and have discovered a nice trick to get SharePoint web parts to place nice with a PerformancePoint dashboard, You may not know this, but a PP dashboard like to over-write any changes you might have done in the browser when you deploy the dashboard from the designer. If you want to use a normal SharePoint web part, you can get away with this by using just a Web Page Report that basically creates an IFRAME [read].

PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010 Woes Solved!
Ed Hild
pSo I was working on a demo, trying to get PowerPivot installed server-side and didn't realize how much pain I was about to subject myself to./p
pThe key is that apparently I was in a situation that isn't the norm. I had already installed SQL Server 2008 R2 and installed Analysis Services as part of that install. I had already installed SPS 2010 and created the farm (and a few site collections). And I was even on a domain controller.... geez, the install guides all want you to create the farm af [read].

Building Visio Services Solutions
Ed Hild
pI captured a quick demo from the solution created in Chapter 13 of our book. This was one of Chad Wach's chapters and I have found it to be a great tool to demonstrate not only the out-of-the-box capabilities of Visio Services in SPS 2010, but also its extention points. In this webcast, you can see how you can connect a visio diagram to data causing the diagram to conditionally format it shapes. We then publish it to a SharePoint site. Once there, we use some javascript to take advantage of Vis [read].

Building a Windows Sidebar Gadget with WPF against SPS 2010

pI've been working on creating a solution for the internal MS sales teams here that has some really interesting components/code that I thought I would share. Basically, I was asked to create a windows sidebar gadget that displayed data that was maintained in some SharePoint 2010 lists. There were of course a few twists. The gadget had to continue to work while the sales folks were offline and where possible, I needed to incorporate photo's from people's my sites. I chose to build the solution in [read].

SPC 2009 - Day 1
Ed Hild
Most of day 1 was the keynotes. Got to love that the first demo was for the developers in the room. Really like that the definition of SharePoint has become more broad then simply a collaboration platform. The new pie slide simply stated Next Generation Platform. I sat in all the keynotes and then mostly IT Pro sessions. This is because I am already pretty deep in the dev stuff. I went to IT Pro Overview, and the 2 part sessions on Architecture done wy the SharePoint 911 guys which were very ent [read].

Resolved error setting up IRM for SharePoint 2007
Ed Hild
Was working on a proof of concept today and ran across an interesting error when trying to get the MOSS server to talk to RMS. Since this is just in a lab, the MOSS central administration web app pool was running as Network Service. When I chose to specify the RMS server, the error was that it was found, but that the local machine account did not have access. Turns out, you need to set a few permissions on one of the asmx web service files on the RMS server. In my case the RMS Server was on a do [read].

My Presentation for Tomorrow's SharePoint Best Practices Conference

Web Part to view a User’s Claims
Ed Hild
As promised in my earlier video demo, here is a web part that I quickly wrote to view the claims of a user when they are authenticating to the SharePoint site using a Security Token Service such as Geneva Server.

Microsoft Word Documents Opening in the Browser
Ed Hild
No this is not a post on anything SharePoint 2010 related. I get asked this question, quite a bit… It usually goes something like: I have a SharePoint site and when the user clicks on a Word document, the file is shown in the Internet Explorer viewer and not in MS Word. I had to track this down once upon a time with good old SharePoint 2003 so I can usually answer that it is a setting on the desktop that determines whether or not the rich client app will launch. At a recent conference, an atte [read].

PDC Video: SharePoint Online - Extending Your Service

This is a pretty good video on some of the developer options for customizing SharePoint Online. If you are not familiar with SharePoint Online, it is SharePoint hosted by Microsoft for use by small organizations or companies as well as large ones. As this video explains, there are two different flavors Standard and Dedicated. Development in the Standard offering is a bit more challenging since the current offering does not allow you to deploy code to the multi-tenant infrastructure. I liked the [read].

Visio 2007 crashing on exit on Vista 64bit

I had a minor success today. For the longest time, every time I closed Visio 2007 SP1 on my Vista 64bit machine, I would get a crash and an error. It was a minor annoyance since it was on exit... but I finally solved it today. First I launched Visio by using Explorer on the file system and choosing Run as Administrator. With it open, I went into the Trust Center and went to the Add-ins tab. I clicked the Go button to manage the COM-addins and then disabled the "Send to Bluetooth" add-in. This co [read].

POP3 on Windows Server 2008 MOSS Dev Env
Ed Hild
Just a quick note... If you are a MOSS dev setting up a new development environment on Windows Server 2008, you might have noticed that there is no POP3 service anymore. This makes it a bit difficult to shows workflow with email notifications, etc if you don't have the ability to have a user mailbox. And of course, you don't want the full blown Exchange app there because of the bloat on the VM and performance. Try out this free one:
