Sorry, I’ve been slacking.  I’m a full week behind on posting my slides from SharePoint Saturday Houston 2011 .  This SharePoint Saturday was certainly unforgettable and I had a great time both attending and speaking.  I presented my Beginning...
You know by now that the cloud is hot and Microsoft says “we’re all in”.  That being said, there has never been a better time to push all of those chips forward and  jump on the bandwagon.  It’s time to get some experience with SharePoint...
When it comes to deploying SharePoint artifacts, I pretty much always insist on doing as much as possible using a feature and CAML as opposed to using the UI or writing code.  CAML is very possible and most people don’t realize how much you can do...
This last weekend, I had the opportunity to speak at the Tyson Developer Conference as well as the NWA CodeCamp the following day.  I spoke about how easy it is for an ASP.NET developer to get started with SharePoint 2010 development.  I had...
In sticking with our theme of debugging things from yesterday , I thought I would write up a quick post on how to debug a cmdlet.  This may be obvious to you experienced developers out there, but someone new to writing cmdlets may not be familiar...
The first thing I do when creating a new project in Visual Studio (regardless of type) is change the project name, assembly name, and default namespace.  I like for the names of all these to be consistent.  However, I have noticed in Silverlight...
Yesterday, I showed you how to deploy a regular web part to MOSS 2007 / WSS3 that was built and packaged in Visual Studio 2010 .  Today, we can take that a step further and take advantage of the new Visual Web Part and deploy it the same way. ...
That’s a mouth full.  I always suspected it was possible to use Visual Studio 2010 to package up my SharePoint web parts and other artifacts into a solution (.wsp file) and turn around and deploy that code into MOSS 2007.  Today I gave it a...
Sorry.  I’ve been slacking this month.  With SharePoint Saturday Ozarks, vacation, and having my laptop stolen, I’ve been way behind on blogging.  I’ve also been way behind in posting my slides from #SPSOzarks .  If you weren’t at...
I was doing some SharePoint mentoring a while back and I noticed that some developers don’t know about a couple handy items found in various context menus that that I use on a daily basis.  Specifically I’m talking about a few things in the context...
I attended the monthly Microsoft Solution Advocate call this morning and during the demo of some cool code you use in your Windows 7 applications, they pointed out a new feature in Visual Studio 2010 that I hadn’t seen before.  When you press Ctrl...

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...
If you are already familiar with SharePoint 2010, you already know how easy it is to build and deploy a web part now.  However, this post is for those that don’t keep up with SharePoint as some of us do and may not realize how the development experience...
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...
I saw this feature in Visual Studio again the other day and honestly I had kind of forgotten about it.  After discussing it with some colleagues, most of them didn’t even know the feature existed.  What I am talking about is the ability to create...
