That’s a mouthful, but I wanted to make sure that people knew exactly what this post is for.  The problem I am seeing out there already is that while there is a lot of code samples, they aren’t clear for what type of app the sample is for. ...
As someone who focuses mostly on ECM and Search, I am a huge fan of the new Metadata Navigation feature on document libraries in SharePoint 2010.  It provides a great alternative to folders when it comes to navigating your document libraries. ...
I’ve been talking a lot about external lists lately as you may know.  They are so easy to create with SharePoint Designer, but you wouldn’t really deploy them to production that way would you?  Of course not!  We need a feature.  At...
It looks like the answer is no.  When you click the Include Content checkbox on the Save as Template page, it looks like only the latest version of documents and lists items are included in the .wsp file.  I ran a few tests and here is what...
When the NDA dropped, I mentioned how you could use the new PropertyBag element in a feature to write values into the property bag of a site.  I already thought that was going to be incredibly useful, but it turns out the power of this new element...
One of my favorite new features in SharePoint 2010 is the ability to have lists relate to each other and the fact that you can maintain referential integrity.  Now, I am sure there are at least 50 posts out there already that show you how to do this...
When I get an error, I like to blog about it.  Especially when the error gives you no useful information whatsoever.  Now, you can get the above error in a variety of ways, but the one I am going to discuss today is when using SPQuery. ...
I’ve always liked the power of CAML because it allows me to create so much in SharePoint without ever having to write a line of code.  However, there really isn’t enough examples out there, so I like writing posts like these that focus on doing something...

I’ve been chasing this particular error for a little while and thought I would take the time to share my experience and how to resolve it.  The scenario I had is I have a custom content type with several custom site columns.  I generated the...
This week, I needed to deploy lookup columns to some of my lists and as usual I wanted to avoid writing code at all costs.  As some of you may know, Kyle Kelin and I debate this topic often as he prefers a code approach.  I figured it had to...
Last night, Kyle Kelin and I had the opportunity to debate SharePoint provisioning methodologies at the Tulsa SharePoint Interest Group . We each had to deploy a custom site with site columns, a content type, a list, and pages. Kyle chose the API approach...
Kyle Kelin and I are doing our first joint talk together at the Tulsa SharePoint Interest Group this Monday, May 11th.  We’re going to be talking about Site Provisioning and let the audience decide what they like better: CAML or the API.  I...
If you pay attention to twitter at all, today you might have heard about a new tool on CodePlex called SPSource .  SPSource is a tool that reverse engineers existing Content Types, Site Columns, Lists and more on an existing SharePoint site. ...

In the past when I thought of how to do this, I tended to over analyze it a bit. I always assumed there was something special in how you do this, but in reality, it is not much different than adding web parts to a new page. I am not sure if this is the...
