Sad as it is, I’m on the computer at 23:08 UK time.. I was hoping to get some more details about my document creation system posted up, but just ran out of time today working on a slight bug with the XMLResultsiterator. Once I’ve honed that puppy I’ll be posting here with the first set …

December already?
Ok, this is turning into a one post a month blog.. not what I intended at all. At the moment, I’m working on a very nifty automated document creation feature for SharePoint. It’s by no means a simple solution as we’re bringing together elements of SharePoint library and file management, Binary Document Streams, manipulating Open …

A question of authorisation..
I’m writing some custom application pages that run from the _Layouts directory. They’re triggered by items on the Edit Control Block menu.. (See the previous post from the other day on this option..) One of the things that has really come up with this is the question of authorisation, and confirming that the user does …

Patrick Tisseghem
I just picked up the news on Eric Shupps blog that well known SharePoint MVP Patrick Tisseghem passed away whilst travelling in Sweden to teach a course. This is a sad loss for the SharePoint community as Patrick’s articles have helped more than a few of us other last few years. My thoughts go out …

Well I’m struggling to get everything finished that I wanted to before I leave, but here just aren’t enough hours in the day for everything. I was here until 11pm last night releasing the latest version of the Implementation workflow. Unfortunatly because we were releasing new forms, it meant stopping and restarting all 86 exising …

Two glasses of wine & a jar of Mayonnaise..
I receive an awful lot of viral emails on a daily basis, mostly from friends and colleagues seeking to brighten my day. Invariably, I have a read, a little chuckle, then delete without sending them on.. But given the amount of hours that I’m doing recently, and the penchant in the IT industry for long …

Upgrading Features.
I’ve been quite naughty recently and I’ve been taking the easy way out when it comes to putting code upgrades in. It’s very easy to drag the DLL from the dev environment and just drop it into either the Gac or the local Bin, without any thought to what happens if someone comes along and …

All Change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since my last post at the end of May, my SharePoint immersion has tailed off heavily due to urgent server builds that had to meet heavy deadlines. The upshot of this is I’ve hardly touched any code this month. That coupled with a week in Gran Canaria has meant a very lean SharePoint month for …
