Yesterday I wrote a post about redirecting HTTP to HTTPS , which uses an IIS technique to perform the redirection. However, many IIS websites are connected to the internet using Microsoft ISA Server . So here’s an even easier technique to perform this: 1. Open the ISA Server snap-in in the Management Console, and open the the web server’s rules properties. 2. Go to the Bridging tab. 3. Check the box that says Redirect requests to SSL port. 4.

How to Force Redirection From HTTP to HTTPS on IIS 6.0

Converting Word 2007’s WdColor to .NET Color Class
Here’s a small snippet that I wrote for converting a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdColor object to a System.Drawing.Color object. The WdColor enum values are actually stored as BGR and not RGB. So you must parse the number and isolate the R,G and B elements to re-assemble them into a .NET Color class. Also, during runtime, sometimes a color object gets a value that isn’t listed in the enum. I don’t understand why this happens, but I’m guessing it’s either me being silly or the COM wrapper being...

How to get the context item in an SPD Workflow Activity
David Birin , a talented colleague of mine who also works at Omnisys , has just published a post about getting the context item in a SharePoint Designer Custom Workflow Activity . This post is important for SharePoint developers since most samples you’ll find on the internet ignore this ability. Instead, their workflow activities ask the user to supply an item, while it’s obvious the relevant item is the current one, which the workflow is running on. (Even the ECM samples in the WSS/MOSS SDK have...
