MOSS Setup.exe – The Parameter is Incorrect

This is kind of a weird issue and I ran into it the last two times I setup a MOSS virtual machine, so I thought I would take a moment to tell about it today. I am a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine. This server is a DC and also has SQL Server 2008 installed. In my particular case...

ArgumentNullException when calling Enterprise Search Web Service

Last week, I demonstrated how to call the Enterprise Search web service to get search results to a colleague. I pointed him to my post on querying a web service and he was able to easily put the code together to call the web service. However, when his code called the service, he got the following...

The search service is currently offline. Visit the Services on Server page in SharePoint Central Administration to verify whether the service is enabled. This might also be because an indexer move is in progress.

There seems to be a huge plague of the following error sweeping through the SharePoint community right now. This occurs when you go to the Search Settings page on your SSP. You will probably notice it before this by a user trying to search and getting an error. Here is the text. The search service is...

VSeWSS 1.3 CTP Feedback and Feature Requests

First of all I would like to say this tool has improved quite a bit since the last version. However, I still feel that it has a long way to go before a SharePoint developer would actually consider using it. The functionality I am targeting today is the web part functionality. Before that, I'll point...

Remote Debugging a Full Trust InfoPath Form in SharePoint

A while back, I posted about how to Remote Debug a task form for a workflow. The post I made didn't clearly specify I was talking about a task form so I went back and updated it. This made me thing that I haven't covered how to debug a Full Trust form outside of a workflow. Although the process...

Dealing with InfoPath Form Templates in Visual Studio 2008 with TFS

I have been building a large number of InfoPath Form Templates in Visual Studio 2008 lately and I have discovered it is can be quite the exercise in frustration when you want to put your files in TFS (or any source control for that matter). There are a number of reasons for this, but it all starts with...

Enterprise Search Crawl Error: The parameter is incorrect

I have been reconfiguring a search index and running into this issue a lot, so I thought I would post on it. In my case, I am crawling a content source that comes from a BDC application definition. The first time I crawl, I get the following error. The parameter is incorrect. (LobSystemInstance could...

String[] in columns returned from KeywordQuery.Execute

I have posted in the past about how to use the KeywordQuery class to execute an Enterprise Search query. This makes it easy to get a DataTable containing search results.

Data Types of Managed Properties in Search Results

The other day, I was trying to work some XSLT magic with my CoreResultsWebPart. What I was trying to do is pass an integer value in a search query (that went against a BDC application definition) in a link to a page. This should be a simple task, but when I added the field to my template, it displayed...
