Sharepoint 2010 Developer Training Kit. Visual Studio 2010 Sharepoint 2010 - Sharepoint connection can not open node. Hmm sounds like SharePoint's web services are turned off maybe. Check all your applications pools in IIS7 and make sure none of them are turned off. You might also try recycling them alll aside from an IIS Restart. It's also possible the virtual directories aren't mapped right in IIS7, if someone changed/moved/renamed the virtual directories in the SharePoint site your trying to connect to, it won't work because the folders have been moved.

E.g., theres a virtual directory mapped to a sharepoint site called "_Layouts" that links to 14 hive /Layouts, same thing with _Admin on a central admin site, and the _Isapi folder which is where all the webservice .svc files are located. If you change any of those virtual directories in iss7, nothing will work after that. A more in depth example, If you go to IIS7 and click on your sharepoint website and expand it.

In developing a Web Application, you may want to declare a table of data for use by one or more pages at application level scope. This article demonstrates how to declare, populate, and reference an array that has been declared at application level scope. Declaring Arrays at Application Level Scope Repeat the following steps for a demonstration on referencing arrays with application scope. On a computer that is running Active Server Pages, create a folder named ATEST and configure Internet Information Server (IIS) to recognize this directory as a virtual root with execute permissions. Observe that, in the above sample, it is only during application startup that the contents of the variables collection of the Application object is altered.

Welcome to Office Space, the column that offers tips and tricks for scripting Microsoft® Office applications. We’ll post new tips every Thursday; to see an archive of previous tips, visit the Office Space Archive. And if you have particular questions about Microsoft Office scripting, feel free to send them to scripter@microsoft.com (in English, if possible). We can’t promise to answer all the questions we receive, but we’ll do our best. Reading Data from a Microsoft Access Database You know, every family has one, the family member who’s just a little bit different. Not necessarily good or bad, mind you; just different.

In the Microsoft Office family that family member would have to be Microsoft Access. Microsoft Access, however, is different. With that in mind, we thought we’d spend some time introducing you to ADO and, in particular, showing you how to use ADO to work with Access databases. Let’s start out by looking at a script that reads data from a Microsoft Access database. How to find a record using ADO and Jet OLE DB provider. How to display the Common 'File-Open' Dialog to Choose a File - Access Image FAQ. A common requirement when building an image database is to give the user some way to select an image file. The 'Common File-Open' dialog provides a flexible and consistent way to do this, using the standard dialog which most Windows users are already familiar with. The dialog can also be used in 'Save' mode to choose the target for saving a file.

The 'Common Dialog OCX' controls provide a simple way to do this, however these controls can give rise to versioning and distribution problems (especially in runtime applications), and are generally not recommended. Instead, you can call the Win32 API directly to use the common dialogs. Although the API code is somewhat complex, fortunately Ken Getz has generously written a module that you can reuse in your applications, reducing the effort to a cut-and-paste, then writing just a few lines to show the dialog. Usage 'File-Open' Mode. The following code shows how to display a File-Open dialog in respose to a button-click. The 'File-Open' Dialog. MashPoint - A Breakthrough in SharePoint Data Integration. What is MashPoint™? MashPoint is the new, FREE platform from Bamboo® that enables integration of external data sources in MOSS or Windows SharePoint Services.

With MashPoint you can access databases, web services or Custom Providers in your SharePoint environment exactly as you would with the Microsoft Business Data Catalog. Using Web Parts from Bamboo, you can quickly view and organize this data. But you don’t have to use Bamboo Web Parts to leverage the power of this new platform. You can use MashPoint for free to build custom applications that consume data from outside your SharePoint environment. MashPoint protects your investment in custom development by providing a framework you can run on top of WSS, MOSS or MOSS Enterprise, 100% consistent with the standard BDC architecture. If you are running WSS today, but planning or even contemplating a migration to MOSS, MashPoint is your integration method of choice. Mashups + SharePoint = MashPoint Next: MashPoint - How Does it Work?

Visual Studio 2010 Tools for SharePoint Development. SharePoint development has been a bit of a mystery to many developers, who have felt that developing for the platform was cumbersome and out of their reach. The developer community has also been split over what tool set to use. For example, some developers have used a combination of class libraries, manual project folders with XML configuration files, and post-build output events to generate features and solutions for SharePoint.

Other developers have used STSDEV, a community tool, or Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services (VSeWSS) to build different applications and solutions and deploy them to SharePoint. In other words, developers could follow numerous paths to deploying features and solution packages to SharePoint. Challenges notwithstanding, the SharePoint developer community has grown to a significant number—roughly 600,000 developers —and continues to grow.

SharePoint Tools in Visual Studio 2010 Developing a Visual Web Part Project <? Today, the opportunities that a SharePoint developer is more than ever diverse | Responsibilities Of SharePoint Developer. Today, the opportunities for the SharePoint developer are more than ever diverse. The role of the SharePoint developer will cover the full life cycle and engaging with clients as well. The position of the developer in SharePoint is a great opportunity for all those who are highly motivated, enthusiastic developers with solid .NET skills. An effective developer will have the opportunity to develop apps around different core concepts. These core concepts may include business process management, collaboration, business intelligence and enterprise content management. An ideal SharePoint developer should be motivated to advance his or her technical skills in order to meet different challenges presented by these platforms.

A SharePoint developer moreover needs to have excellent communication skills and the ability to communicate both to management and clients. Effective developers of the SharePoint platform live, breathe, worship and sometimes curse SharePoint day and night. Like this: AldarlT SuperAds.

Adding JSON Capability to SPServices. Image by superfluity via Flickr For quite a while, I’ve gotten requests to offer some sort of JSON conversion capability in SPServices. The requests have often been fairly non-specific, meaning that they haven’t mentioned a particular Web Service operation, like GetListItems or GetWeb. However, I think that most people want to be able to get convert the XML they get back from GetListItems to JSON. This would be useful because a lot of the other jQuery plugins out there want JSON to work with. I’ve written the beginnings of a function I will include in the next release of SPServices, and I wanted to offer it up for suggestions and requests. I want this converter function, which I’ve called SPXmlToJson, to be generally useful within an SPServices context.

I don’t want to build a general-purpose converter; there are quite a few good ones out there. Here’s an example: Once you get past the enclosing “wrapper”, it’s very flat data: just a single element per item. Like this: Like Loading... Chapter 14: Silverlight and SharePoint Integration (Professional SharePoint Branding and User Interface Design) Summary: This chapter discusses Microsoft Silverlight features and tools, how to create a Silverlight Web Part, how to access SharePoint 2010 data by using the Client Object Model, and how to extend Microsoft Visual Studio to create Silverlight solutions.

Hi, my name is Joey Wiggs and I’m a developer on the InfoPath team. In InfoPath 2010, one of the ways in which we've improved our integration with SharePoint Server 2010 is by providing richer capabilities for connecting to and getting data from SharePoint lists. In this post, I will compare SharePoint list data connections in InfoPath 2007 and InfoPath 2010, and discuss the benefits of using the new 2010 data connection type. I will also outline the steps required to upgrade your InfoPath 2007 SharePoint list data connections to the new and improved version. About SharePoint List Data Connections Let’s start by looking at a scenario when you would use a SharePoint list data connection in an InfoPath form. In Microsoft, when employees run into technical issues, they log a help ticket by filling out an InfoPath form.

Instead, we can store the Category names in a separate SharePoint list and pull this information into the form when users are filling it out. Query Fields Sorting results Enjoy!

What's new for developers in SharePoint 2013. Learn about new features and functionality in SharePoint 2013, including the new Cloud App Model, development tools, platform enhancements, mobile apps, and more. SharePoint 2013 introduces a Cloud App Model that enables you to create apps. Apps for SharePoint are self-contained pieces of functionality that extend the capabilities of a SharePoint website. An app may include SharePoint components such as lists, workflows, and site pages, but it can also surface a remote web application and remote data in SharePoint.

An app has few or no dependencies on any other software on the device or platform where it is installed, other than what is built into the platform. This characteristic enables apps to be installed simply and uninstalled cleanly. Apps have no custom code that runs on the SharePoint servers. Instead, all custom logic moves "up" to the cloud or "down" to client computers. SharePoint Server 2013 includes several services for working with data in your SharePoint sites.
