| How to get an answer to your question

For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Ignore HTML tags in this message" check box is unchecked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question in one forum from another, unrelated forum (such as the lounge). It will be deleted.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.

Hello kmb,
Please find the "Myinfo.aspx" page in the Layouts folder(.../12/TEMPLATES/LAYOUTS) if it is not there check the SharedServices(SSP)and open the MySite Whether you are getting the SharePoint Site WebPart or not??? You will get SharePoint Site WebPart whenever you create a MYSite of Current User.

| Drupal Battles Content Management Goliaths at India's Premier Software Developer Awards
Shaguf Mohtisham | 22:23 16 Mar '10 |
|
|
Bangalore, March 11, 2010: Content management technologies first entered the market primarily in the form a separate line-of-business (LOB) application such as a human resources portal or a dealer extranet. They were basically rolled out in response to specific business needs. The technology vendor base was categorised with the key players focusing on a niche within content management, such as document management, Web content management or digital asset management.
Slowly with time and usage, both customer and vendor organisations started realizing the value proposition that content management could bring to the table to address multiple business problems across numerous departments. Thus Enterprise Content Management (ECM) was born, serving as a platform for:
• Building multiple content- and process-centric applications
• Deploying tens to hundreds or even thousands of Web sites and portals
• Supplying content and content services to other enterprise applications, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) systems
• Facilitating content lifecycle management
With the maturation of the ECM industry, vendors continually added new functionality to their product suites to address the growing variety of content management needs found within corporations worldwide. What began as an industry primarily focused on niche applications has expanded into a market where vendors now offer a full spectrum of content management capabilities, from document management and imaging, digital asset management, and records and retention management, to Web content management and collaboration.
In the 90s, many of us became familiar with browser based content management, by way of GeoCities. Users could create their own personal web pages, maintained from the comfort of their own browsers. No longer bound by the shackles of FTP, GeoCities was a harbinger of user generated social media power, large scale browser based CMSs and communities like MySpace, Linkedin and Facebook.
In the same period, big companies were figuring out that they could delegate content management amongst site stakeholders by building proprietary browser based CMS applications. The “sales department” could maintain the appropriate corner of the corporate website, their HR page, their customer service page etc.
Now, incredible browser content management systems, that (literally) would cost millions to develop, are available for free. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and many are free-of-charge for the clever to customize and use.
The evolution of CMS over the past few years has been rapid and radical. While mid-to-enterprise-level commercial content management systems improved in recent years, they’ve been pushed aside by “the user revolution”.
Saltmarch Media's annual Great Indian Developer Awards honors software products across 12 categories, based on their productivity, innovation excellence, universal usefulness, simplicity, functionality and most importantly on the ground feedback from India’s software developer ecosystem. In the Enterprise Content Management tools category, the final shortlist consists of IBM’s WebSphere Portal, Drupal, Microsoft’s Office SharePoint Server, Oracle Universal Content Management, Microsoft’s Content Management Server. EMC Documentum was the first content management tool to win this award in 2008 followed by Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server in the 2009 chapter of the same awards.
If there is a particular development environment that you personally endorse to your colleagues or you evangelize about them at the first opportunity you get, here is your chance to vote for it (voting closes April 10 2010) and see it win this prestigious award. Visit the 2010 Great Indian Developer Awards website and cast your vote. It counts! Voting is open from http://www.developersummit.com/gida3_llist.

Might it have something to do with you trying to use basic authentication while SharePoint uses Windows authentication?
I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How do I change this to include Windows authentication instead? Do I need to send different windows authentication for every request?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solved it. I found out that if SharePoint server returns (12044)ERROR_WINHTTP_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED, just resend the content again but this time without the header. Kinda hackish, but works for me

Hello Sin,
Let me give alternative method to do without writing Submit Button code in the ASPX page :
Step1:Create a SharePoint List with columns(if Required) to Save data whenever user clicks the Submit Button in the ASPX form
Step2: Open the List in the SharePoint Designer and Check Out the List and Navigate to navigate it to NewForm.aspx(default APSX pages for a list)
Step3: Right Click on NewForm.aspx and Select New from Existing Aspx page named it as NewForm1.aspx
Step4: Open the NewForm1.aspx in the SharePoint Designer and Hoovers it as Default to Master Content
Step5: Select Insert Menu in the top of the options and Navigate to SharePoint Controls
Step6: Navigate the SharePoint Controls you will get the option Custom List Form
Step7: Click it you will see all the columns created in the List with Button OK and Cancel
Step8: Customize the Button Text and Value
Step9: Customize the ASPX page Example: creating the Custom Master Page and CSS and Apply for the NewForm1.aspx
Step10: Fill all details for the Columns in the Textbox’s and Click the Button Ok
Step11: It will Automatically Save the data in the SharePoint List and Refresh it
Done!!!!

| Passing data to an InfoPath form
JimmyRopes | 6:17 12 Mar '10 |
|
|
Let me start out by saying that I am aware that you can pass parameters to an InfoPath form by coding the FormEvents_Loading event.
Unfortunately by adding code to the InfoPath form you then have to have the form authorized by a system administrator. My client finds this intolerable when developing an InfoPath form.
I am looking for a way to pass data to an InfoPath form field without coding so that the form can be published directly to a form library, without the need for authorization from the system administrator.
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
If that is not possible is there a way to include custom functions in InfoPath so I could use it to format a field?

| SpQuery Question
just3ala2 | 20:06 10 Mar '10 |
|
|
Dears,
Suppose I have an array of IDs in my code and I want to use them to filter a list.
I need to use SpQuery because I need the resulting view to be rendered as HTML.
So how can I filter by ALL the IDs?
Should I create an OR statement for each one or there is a more logical way?  Best Regards 3ala2
