A few days ago we started migrating a portal site from one web application to another on the same machine. As part of the migration process I needed to copy lists from the old site to the new site. Some lists, contained Person list columns, with single or multiple selection. While the migration went smoothly during the export/import process itself the result was weird – all the user names were altered on the new portal. Reason: 1. Person list columns store the user name (as text) and...
As already known, settings forms of MOSS 2007 can usually be found at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS Each form (*.aspx file) can be accessed from any site on the portal inside /_layouts folder. for example: http://doron-g/_layouts/settings.aspx and http://doron-g/SiteDirectory/wiki/_layouts/settings.aspx Each showing the same form, exposing enabled featured for each site. In the following posts I will demonstrate how to add new forms to the...
While I was examining Olivier Carpentier's WSS List DataSource on http://www.codeplex.com I decided to try and create a similar tool for MCMS.

But first, a few words on MCMAS custom placeholders: A Placeholder is a control which has 2 major instances – one for users where it displays the content and one for the content editor so they can alter the content.

Yesterday I published on thecodeproject a small add-in I created a while ago, when I was first playing around with the "Visual Studio Add In" project.

Copy VB.NET: Select to conversion button: Your C# code: The add-in is using an online code translator which can be found here :
A few weeks ago I was trying to run a workflow on my local machine using a remote Sql Server 2000 for the tracking & persistence services. “Windows Workflow Foundation provides an implementation of it through the SqlWorkflowPersistenceService. This class saves workflow data to a SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 database with a well-known schema.” While the official documentation is referring Sql Server 2005 & Sql Server 2000 the same - reality proved me otherwise: To summarize things all...
While working with oracle in .NET projects I came across one very annoying reoccurring problem: "Could not create an environment: OCIEnvCreate returned -1" Two things came up: 1 - permissions issue 2 - a missing ORACLE_HOME environment variable "Ever received this error message while trying to connect to a Oracle database from .Net and wondered why this is happening. Well, I was banging my head on my workstation for about a week. The whole internet pointed to the oracle bin folder not having permissions...
