Earlier, I wrote a blogpost about creating a web part to display Crystal Report files. The biggest problem faced was the displaying of images on a report (which include graphs, pie charts and more stuff like that) which wouldn’t work in a MOSS environment. I solved it by creating a second web application to ‘host’

After switching the authentication provider on our SharePoint installation from NTLM to Kerberos (which should be better), users started to complain that they weren’t able to create a MySite anymore. I checked and offcourse they were right. To use Kerberos, I had to change the application pool account to the Network Service. That account isn’t

In a blogpost by Ishai I found some code which enables users to print out lists in a printerfriendly view; something which is missing in SharePoint by default. To enhance the feature a little bit more, you can edit the printlist.xml file to include a description (which is displayed below the title of the menu item)

Yeah! After reading two quite lengthy books (and for me that’s a lot of reading compared to the things I usually read…) in not so much time, and taking two not too easy exams, I made it! I’m now officially a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist. Guess I’m going to need new business cards to fit

To enable our users to view Crystal Reports in a SharePoint environment, we looked for a solution of Business Objects. Unfortunately, that only seems to be available for SharePoint 2003, and not 2007. Also obtaining it seems not that easy, at least it’s not included in the default developer edition of Crystal Reports XI. So

Here’s a quick walkthrough to enable a InfoPath form to get information from a SQL Server database with credentials found in a SSO database (which you typically use with SharePoint).

Always looking out for better things, I decided to move my blog. Not that anyone would care since I really have no visitors yet (I think). So it’s all just in my advantage, because this new one at WordPress is a bit easier to manage as opposed to the old one at BlogSpot (no offence…).

Last june, I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the Microsoft DevDays in Amsterdam. Lots of interesting stuff there, including some VS “Orcas” 2008 previews (more web related stuff!), the very nice looking Silverlight technology and more. But the most interesting presentation I whitnessed there was by Molly Holzschlag. She talked about CSS

To start off this blog with some usefull information, I´m going to explain how to develop an ASP.NET 2.0 web application which has both forms authentication and Windows authentication enabled. Let’s say we’re developing a web application which will be running on our local intranet. There’s a pretty good chance that same intranet will have
