This summer has been absolutely crazy. In the last month, I’ve been out of the country more than I have been in. The season started with TechEd North America 2012 in Orlando, FL. From there, I proceeded to fly directly to Toronto for...

Over the weekend, I posted part 1 of a discussion of this thing I created that I’m calling “conditional pages”. I promised to elaborate on the technical details, so here I am with some code samples and instructions that hopefully will allow others to reproduce what I have done....

A few days ago, I posed a question here (and on Twitter and on the SDN forum and some other places) regarding accessing visitor profile data from the HttpRequestBegin pipeline. I promised to post about why I needed to do that once I had everything working, so here’s the story. Sorry – it’s a bit of a long one. :)...

TechEd North America ( #msteched ) is just next week in Orlando, FL. This is my first TechEd and I’m excited to see what’s in store. With any conference, it’s always best to be prepared. You want to make sure you bring the right things...

I have an HttpRequestBegin pipeline processor that runs right after the stock ItemResolver. I need for it to read a value from the current visitor's profile (or if a value isn't there, write one). Here's what my code looks like:...

It’s true. I admit it. I have a sickness. I am a SharePoint person and proud of it. I’m attending Microsoft TechEd in Orlando next week (and in Amsterdam at the end of the month) for the first time. Although I am a noob to...

I’ve been writing a series of posts about SharePoint development using Visual Studio 11 Beta for a while. Since I have written quite a few posts now, I thought it would be useful to compile all of them here in a list if you want to review what’s...

I’ve posted a number of articles about Visual Studio 11 to date and today’s article talks about the new SharePoint Project Item, Site Definition. This is a new SPI available in Visual Studio 11. Previously, you had to create site definitions...

As an Account Manager for an IT consulting firm, my customers rely on my firm’s resources and myself to provide advice and guidance on some of their most difficult challenges. A development manager might need to improve his or her team’s build process...

One of my most popular posts on DotNetMafia.com is my post on using PowerShell to add and deploy SharePoint solution packages (.wsp files). However, in that post, I never went in detail in deploying sandboxed solutions. Today, I want to talk...

I love me some PowerShell. I use it a lot in the context of SharePoint 2010, but I use it just as much on my own laptop. If you have been administering and configuring SharePoint enough, you have become accustomed to the shape and size of...

I like blogging about errors and their resolutions. Sometimes the answer is simple, but I think there is a lot of value in posting the details of an error so that users can find answers in the search engines. After doing a My Sites upgrade...

I survived another SharePoint Saturday in Houston this weekend and had a great time. It was fun seeing old friends and making some new ones as well. As promised, here is a link to my slide deck posted on SlideShare. Thanks again to Victor...

ULS Viewer works great for finding Correlation IDs but once you start dealing with large farms, I find PowerShell works much better. A Correlation ID is great but it doesn’t do you any good if you can’t find it in the logs. I put this script...

I am excited that it’s already time for SharePoint Saturday Houston again this Saturday on 4/28. We already have more than 500+ people registered and it is sure to be a huge event. I’m speaking about new SharePoint Development features in...
