Creating a Quiz Web application using SharePoint designer - Part 1 - Notes on SharePoint. Hi, my name is Brendan Clarke and I work as a partner technical specialist in SharePoint.

Here’s proof that you should never stop learning (or at least trying to learn).
I ran across a post on the MSDN SharePoint – Design and Customization forum just now that showed me a trick I’d never run into before. I don’t know that I’ve ever had the need to show file attachments for items in a SharePoint list using a Data View Web Part (DVWP) before, but this is a really nice trick to do it. You can add the following chunk of XSL into the dvt_1.rowview template (or anywhere else where you are in the context of a single node): Here’s a rather ugly, simple little example, but it should get the point across. Note that the item with the Title = “Tue Aug 25 11:52:42 CDT 2009″ has two attachments, and both are shown.

Configuring the breadcrumb for pages in _layouts. If you have ever added a page to the _layouts or _admin folders in SharePoint 2007 you may have wondered how to get the breadcrumb to appear at the top of the page.
As with many things in MOSS they are using the standard ASP.Net 2.0 navigation features, in particular the sitemap. To see how it’s done you can simply open the layouts.sitemap (or admin.sitemap) in the ‘_app_bin’ folder of a MOSS IIS site to see how the breadcrumb is built. By editing this file you can ensure your own pages have a breadcrumb and the navigation works.

Normally for a "return page" function, a "Source" parameter in the querystring will suffice, but that didn't seem to work here. I found the Form Action Button (under Insert->SharePoint Controls->More SharePoint Controls), added Commit and Redirect actions, told it what page to use, and presto! Nothing happened. In fact, it didn't even try to submit the form. A simple method to display a list in another site « Path to Shar. This is one of the frustrations with the SharePoint UI: you can’t display on your site a list from another site.
