A couple of months ago, I was implementing a master page in SharePoint 2010, and I ran into something strange. On every page that was using the new master page, whenever I’d try to edit a web part, the Tool Pane was nowhere to be found. It turns out that the Web Part Tool Pane […]

NOTE: This blog is based on a post originally written in January of 2010 when both SharePoint 2010 and AD FS 2.0 were in Release Candidate stage. The version you are reading here has been updated it to correct some important omissions related to the RTW bits. ======================================================== In my previous post, I demonstrated how […]

I recently had the opportunity to work on a project where we implemented a Records Management solution using SharePoint 2010. The high level project requirements were as follows: 1.Enable users to easily send documents from Team sites to a central Records Vault site. 2.Provide an approval process that would enable documents sent to the central […]

Back in June 2010, Vittorio Bertocci posted a method to implement sliding sessions with Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) on his blog. While the article addresses ASP.NET applications configured to use WIF, Vittorio mentions that SharePoint 2010 implements sliding sessions for Forms authentication more or less out-of-the-box. Sadly this is not the case for situations where […]

In an earlier post, I demonstrated how you can use Windows Azure ACS v2 as a Trusted Identity Provider to SharePoint 2010. One of the interesting options that ACS v2 provides is sign-in using Facebook. Using social media as a means to provide single sign on with SharePoint has always been an interest of mine […]

There have been countless blogs written on this topic, yet I always seem to be spending way too much time configuring Incoming and Outgoing mail in my SharePoint 2010 development environment.I often find myself wishing the author included a few screen shots of their configuration settings so I could better compare them to my own.The […]

When it comes to content types the best practice is to define them up front and do not change them, but in real life this is not always practical. In my experience, when working with content types, at some point the client is going to want to change something whether it is a column or […]

I’m going to show a couple of free iPhone apps that access SharePoint 2010. The first SharePoint iPhone Client is Moshare from Moprise (green theme) and the second is iShare from Spyk Software (orange theme). Let’s see how they stack up. First take a look at the launch icons. I’m not sure what the Moshare […]

I thought I’d share a couple of thoughts on using SharePoint 2010 on the iPad. The iPad is not capable of displaying Silverlight or Flash content. It seems that when a page is rendering, I can scroll but once it’s done rendering and I let go, it jumps to the top and won’t scroll again. […]

I had been meaning to actually read Vittorio’s post from back in early August regarding the new version of Windows Azure AppFabric ACS and I was finally able to do it last weekend. I’m really glad I did. If you’re unfamiliar with Windows Azure ACS and what it does, you might want to check out the […]

Microsoft has truly outdone themselves when it comes to SharePoint 2010’s documentation, especially so close to the release of the product. Their whitepaper on configuring Kerberos is great guide that includes setup of not only the SharePoint Web Applications but OLTP, Reporting Services, Analysis Services, EWS, and more. One caveat to the guide is that […]
