Announcing the Release of WSS 3.0 SP1 and Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP1
2007-12-12 07:46:00
I'm excited to announce the release of SP1 for WSS 3.0 and Office SharePoint Serve r 2007. Before you install the service pack there are some very important things to understand. In this post I'll try to provide you with the resources you need to be successful in updating to the latest service pack. Please do NOT simply drop to the bottom and find the links and download and install directly on your production environments. It is essential that you understand the appropriate guidance and test out the patch in a separate test environment.

2007-07-01 09:38:00
The ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit provides a set of sample controls and extenders that makes it a snap to spice up your web site with rich functionality, and I think it will be very interesting to embed this toolkit into MOSS 2007. In the following example I?ve started with ASP.NET Ajax Accordion control, and may be later I?ll get the opportunity to embed more controls. Software Needed: SharePoint Portal Server 2007 (installed with site collection created on port: 80) Visual Studio 2005 SharePoint 2007 Extensions for Visual Studio 2005 ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX 1.0 Ajax Control ToolKit For all people who are enabling Ajax for the first time in SharePoint 2007, you need first to configure your SharePoint Portal to support AJAX.

SharePoint 2007 Flash Animation Web Part
2007-06-11 07:25:00
Hi everyone, I've seen that many people are using HTML content web part for displaying Flash animation, I don't recommend this approach for many reasons, one of them being you won't tell your client to edit HTML code for changing Flash properties; so it is better to have a dedicated web part for rendering Flash animation, I've developed a simple one, here is the code: using System;using System.ComponentModel;using System.Runtime.InteropServices;using System.Web.UI;using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebPart s;using System.Web.UI.WebControls;using System.Xml.Serialization; using Microsoft.SharePoint;using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages;using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities;using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; namespace FlashWebPart{ [Guid("f04fa49d-1342-4c7d-904a-c43ebc942f 39")] [XmlRoot(Namespace = "FlashWebPart")] public class FlashWebPart : Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart &nb...

Customizing SharePoint 2007 Navigation Menu
2007-06-10 20:51:00
If you are a WCM developer, then you will be in need to customize the default SharePoint menu control. This new feature in MOSS 2007 is great and it allows for suitable level of customization, but unfortunately, this level is not enough for such portal which I?m involved in these days. I?ve decided to customize the default menu instead of developing new control. To realize the problem suppose that you want your menu to have the following structure: Site1 Site2 Site3 Site4 ?.. Site1Child1 . Site1Child2 . Site1Child3? As you see, every static item has its own style, also it should has its own hover style, and dynamic items should appear horizontally in case of mouse over the static item.If you edited your master page by sharepoint designer, you will notice that the default SharePoint menu allows you to define only one class for all static items, so we need to edit the static menu template, but even though, the template allows you only for edi...

"Performance is usually top-of-mind for any web site deployment, including MOSS.
