I was really impressed by the new BCS stuff which I saw @ SPC2010. Offcourse, after installing the beta on my laptop, I wanted to test it out myself. So I downloaded SharePoint designer (which is pretty damn nice compared to the old one), connected to my newly created SharePoint site and clicked “External Content

Today I received two errors when developing a new project for SharePoint 2010. The first one was the FileNotFoundException on the SPSite constructor. Turns out that VS2010 defaults to a x86 setting for for instance console apps. This needs to be x64 since SharePoint 2010 is x64 only; switch it. The second one was “microsoft sharepoint

The new client object model is something which required some getting used to. Most of the data in the objects isn’t loaded untill you request it, even when calling methods. For instance, the method GetAvailableWebTemplates returns an object of type WebTemplateCollection. You would probably expect that object to contain all the available web templates on

For reference, here’s a list of all site templates which are included in a default SharePoint 2010 installation.

Today I was working on one of my first SP2010 projects. I started off with creating a class library which would host some classes providing logic which interacted with the new SharePoint 2010 object model. I also created a console application to test the methods as defined in the class library. When I tried to

It seems the error mentioned in the previous post (“Specified value is not supported for the parameter”) doesn’t only appear on installing SharePoint 2010. Today, I tried adding a new site collection into my newly installed environment, and there it was again! So the solution will probably match the previous one: connecting to the corporate

This weekend I tried installing the SharePoint 2010 beta onto my Windows 7 laptop. After following all the steps mentioned in the MSDN article, I ran into an error. Because I already had a SQL2008 installation, I didn’t go for the stand alone installation, but I chose a server farm setup. When running the config

After cracking my head on this one, I found out what’s going on and wanted to share it here. I’ve got a winform app setup and wanted to use a splashscreen to show during loading. I’m using the WindowsFormsApplicationBase class to do this, which works fine. The SplashScreen appears, but I had the problem that

The last few weeks I’ve been struggling with a problem for which I couldn’t seem to find a solution. I tried implementing the Faceted Search solution found on Codeplex: http://facetedsearch.codeplex.com/. With this solution, it’s possible to enhance the search options of SharePoint to show search facets. With these facets, the user is able to narrow

Just returned from two days of fun @ SharePoint Connections 2010! Great conference with lots of excellent speakers including Steve Fox, Jan Tielens and Richard Taylor (and many more offcourse). Got to see some pretty exciting things, primarily about SharePoint 2010 (duh), Visual Studio 2010 and the new developer stuff which that combination brings. I’ll
