• שימוש בכללים לצורך איכלוס שדות מקבילים בטבלה
• שימוש בעיצוב מותנה

Webcats / Video – Tip And Trick : Save Button In InfoPath2007

Webcast / וידאו – טיפ וטריק : כפתור שמירה ב-InfoPath2007 [עברית]

כפתור השמירה ה default שבא עם תשתית ה InfoPath , גם בתצורתו ה web-ית , אינו הדבר האידאלי.
עובדה – הכפתור יכול להוביל לדריסת קובץ קיים ( ואם אין שמירה על גירסאות אז הכל הלך KAPUT ) , אפשר לשמור גם אם תהליך הוולידטציה (אימות נתונים) לא עבר בהצלחה , השמות של הקבצים הינם לפי שיקול הדעת של ממלא הטופס וכו’.

כפתור שמירה נועד לפתור את הכל הבעיות הללו והינו הפתרון המומלץ ע”י מיקרוסופט לצורך שמירת טופס.

במסגרת סרטון זה אנו נראה את הבעיות בתצורה האופיינית , ואת הדרך לפתרון ע”י שימוש בכתפור שמירה.

Visual Studio 2008 extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, v1.3 - Feb 2009 CTP

Visual Studio 2008 extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, v1.3 - Feb 2009 CTP

It seems that a few days a go the SharePoint project and item templates for Visual Studio 2008 - VSeWSS 1.3 (Feb 2009 CTP) was released

Overview

This is the SharePoint developer tools for Visual Studio 2008. These tools are suitable for use with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. It includes project and item templates for common SharePoint artifacts, it includes build, packaging and deployment for SharePoint solutions and it includes the SharePoint Solution Generator which creates a new Visual Studio 2008 project from a SharePoint site.

The tools provide item templates for List Definition, List Definition from Content Type, Content Type, Field Control, Web Part, Module, Root File, Template, Event Receiver, and List Instance. It provides project templates for Team Site Definition, Blank Site Definition, List Definition, Web Part and Empty. It works with Visual Basic .NET and C# languages and a comprehensive user guide is included. It does not include the SharePoint Workflow templates as they are built in with Visual Studio 2008.
New features in version 1.3 include:

• Can be installed on x64 Server OS machines running SharePoint x64. Previously only x86 Server OS could be used
• Separate build commands for package, deploy and retract are added as Visual Studio menu items
• WSP View improvements for consistency of deleting feature elements, merging features and adding event receivers to features
• Command line build, package and retract commands are included enabling continuous integration and build servers. Previously command line build of SharePoint projects was very difficult
• Refactoring support for renaming of Web Parts. Previously renaming a web part required changes in several files in the project
• Solution Generator can now generate solutions from publishing sites. Previously only regular sites could be generated
• Allowing partial trust BIN deployments of web parts
• New project item template for SharePoint RootFiles items
• Deployment will now optionally remove conflicting existing features on the development server prior to redeployment. Previously any feature name conflicts would result in an error
• Ancillary assemblies such as for business logic can now be added to the SharePoint Solution WSP
• Hidden features related to Site Definition projects are now shown in WSP View. They are no longer hidden
• For advanced users a fast deploy is included to update only the compiled assembly on the SharePoint development installation
• Deployment step logging is included
• The List Definition from Content Type template now allows for the creation of a List Definition Event Receiver
• The User Guide is now installed with the extensions instead of being a separate download

SmartPart "you are missing a using directive or an assembly reference"

SmartPart "you are missing a using directive or an assembly reference"

Building WebParts is one thing, and building UserControls is another. But for those who are still in the dark regarding SharePoint development http://www.codeplex.com/smartpart can bring you up to speed in simple ( “KISS” ) UserControl development as part of Moss2007.

Unfortunately, the samples that come as part of the Package are missing one thing more – a reference to a “Custom” library, So :

Problem: 

As part of the UserControl that you’re trying to install using the SmartPart, you get an Error which spcifies that you can’t upload the user control, and if you insiste in choosing it any way you get and error which states in the end that "you are missing a using directive or an assembly reference" – and this is even when that “Custom” Library is in the GAC (!)

Solution:

Put another copy of the “problematic” DLL in the BIN folder under your WebSite

c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\bin
