Ever have a problem remembering something small, I do. No matter how many projects I develop in SharePoint I cannot seem to remember how to reference the site collection URL from a user control. So, after digging around for 5 minutes to find the answer I decided to blog it and save my aging memory: [...]
SP2010 Sandbox Development Tip
Posted in Software Development, tagged SharePoint 2010 on December 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
If you want to make sure that you aren’t using any of the restricted APIs before you deploy your solution to a sandbox environment, manually reference your project against: [SharePoint Root]\UserCode\assemblies\Microsoft.SharePoint.dll If your code compiles, then you’re pretty safe! NEVER DEPLOY code with this Microsoft.SharePoint.dll reference, instead reference the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll in [SharePoint Root]\ISAPI folder. From the [...]
Debugging SP2010 Sandbox Code – Short and Sweet

If you find yourself in a situation when you need to attach to a process from VS 2010, to debug, and you’re code is running in a “sandbox”. You need to attach to the process SPUserCodeService.exe, not w3wp.exe. SharePoint 2010 hosts sandbox code in a secure service – the user code service – so it [...]

Balsamiq Mockups makes for easy UI design
Posted in Applications, Software Development, Web Sites, tagged UI Design on August 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
We’ve been using Balsamiq Mockups for some time at my day job, but until recently I hadn’t used the tool heavily on any of the projects I’d been working. Today I needed to shell out an example search results page for a project I am architecting in SharePoint. Think of Balsamiq Mockups as Visio for [...]
Ctrl-F Crash in Visual Studio

I have Resharper 4 installed into Visual Studio 2008. On 64-bit the CTRL-F functionality crashes the application, which has driving me nuts. My colleague Anand posted a solution to our company Intranet, so I stole his post for my blog for future reference. Thanks Anand ;) “Visual Studio might crash when using the Find feature [...]

Never use SPList.Items.Add because this approach gets all items in the list before adding a new SPListItem. Use the following method instead, which does not preload the list items: 1: /// <summary> 2: /// More efficient way of adding an item to a list. 3: /// </summary> 4: /// <remarks> 5: /// GetItems with a [...]
