Here’s a code sample which will give you a web part that will have a property (accessible via the Toolpane) that lets you define a semi-colon separated list of the names of Filter Connection points. You can then use any standard SharePoint (or even PerformancePoint) filters connected to the web part and use them how […]

If you’re doing development against PerformancePoint Services API, whether in a custom ASP.NET site, a Console Application, make sure you have the Bpm configSection within your web.config (or App.config). You want to add the following configSection to your config file:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
<configSections> <sectionGroup name="Bpm"> <section name="FCODaoProviders" type="System.Configuration.DictionarySectionHandler" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> |

This one cost me three evenings, and turned out to be a silly little thing, hope it can help someone else. The scenario: One web application has one site collection. Only pages in the top level site are being indexed by the crawler. These pages happen to be ones linked by the homepage. Another web […]

This totally drove me round the bend.

You might be using http://centraladmin.mydomain.local:12345 and it may not work, until you access Central Admin via http://centraladmin:12345. Also, […]

NOTICE: This post refers to my initial version of an attempt at this API. This version is now deprecated, please use the version detailed here instead. This post and the included code is the result of a couple of weeks of confusion, hard work and a tonne of research and collaboration between myself and Becky […]

Here’s another introductory post about something that I always see confusion over when new users to SharePoint hear these terms – Site Collection and Web site. What the hell is the difference between the two? Here’s my TL;DR answer (followed by a lengthy discussion): SITE COLLECTIONS DO NOT STORE CONTENT A site collection is just […]

I thought I’d jot down a few things which I believe fresh SharePoint developers need to know when they’re confronted with the daunting task of developing something for SharePoint for the first time. SharePoint development has a massively steep learning curve. It literally takes years to get good at not only developing solutions in SharePoint, […]

Having done numerous branding exercises in SharePoint over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to try out various different methods of both loading CSS into your environment, and also the actual writing of the CSS. I have previous covered methods of loading CSS, and spoke about it in a video, which you […]

The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Power User Cookbook is the kind of book to give to the people in the business that use SharePoint to get their work done. This book does not start with a background history of SharePoint, doesn’t fill out pages with sales figures, and doesn’t confuse the target audience with discussions on […]

After some time now supporting many others in the use and development of Microsoft SharePoint as a platform, I’ve come to notice some common traits of people who are new to developing solutions. I’ve decided to list the 5 most here, and I hope that these cover both those who are currently developers getting started […]
