Here’s a straight forward one. For some reason (don’t ask) I had to update a content type in a Feature Receiver (I would have preferred to have created a new content type and inherit) by adding a new field to it. Here’s the code, purely for my personal reference but open in case other people […]

So why the hell’s it so slow?This post follows on from my last one when I looked at the developer dashboard to gain insight into where the performance issues came from when you have a large list with lots of item level permissions. In this post I’ll take a deeper look, using the SQL Server […]

Tonight’s little project was inspired by a conversation on Twitter with @WonderLaura and @Toddklindt. Laura had asked about the implications of lots of item-level permissions in a big list in SharePoint (here), to which Todd replied with this, and followed up with this and this.

Had a quick frustration today, that some code I had (bog standard SPWebApplication.Sites.Add) would create a site collection fine but had absolutely no content types or site columns. Both galleries were empty. Lists and Libraries had content types (such as Pages) fine, but SFA in the gallery. If you have this, you’re probably doing what […]

Just thought I’d pop this here… When you’re setting a custom masterpage for a site in C#, you might just end up with Invalid URL or File Not Found errors when you try to set the property or navigate to the site. You’ve probably tried all sorts of combinations for the path of the masterpage, […]

(Cut to chase – your ASCX file is too large, strip out code away from the ascx preventing it from being de serialized, such as holding lots of JS in another file) Whilst experimenting with various methods of developing client object model solutions for SharePoint 2010, I’ve been pointed towards the Visual Web Part for […]

Had a few requests on my previous post about the Calendar Year View for a coded example. So here’s one. I’ve not fully tested this in quite a while so it might not work immediately and might need one or two modifications to the object model code to access the List properly, there’s probably some […]

Recently came across an odd problem on a dev machine where any and all application pools for every website on IIS would stop as soon as any website using them was launched. I was setting up a basic WebSite in IIS7 to host a web service, and created an Application Pool for that website (using […]

It has been quite a while since I last posted on here, so I think I should pop something in to keep myself active in authoring for the moment. I’ve had quite a substantial change in circumstances in the past month, mostly revolving around moving house to a new area of England, and taking up […]
