We ran into an interesting issue this week where all reports at the site collection level within "Content Structure and Reports" stopped working. The log included the following error: Query Execution threw SPException: The query cannot be completed because the number of lists in the query exceeded the allowable limit 10/10/2008 11:38:19.16 w3wp.exe (0x09F8) [...]

Helper Class for Avoiding Memory Leaks with SPSite and SPWeb Objects
Posted in Everything, Software Development, tagged Microsoft SharePoint on July 11, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Microsoft provides a sophisticated API/Object Model for programmatic access to the SharePoint from .NET custom code. Invariably, most calls to the object model begin with a call to the SPSite and SPWeb objects, which represent the site collection and web accessed accordingly. Developers must dispose the memory of any instance of SPSite and SPWeb. This [...]
Users with Full Control Cannot Create Pages (MOSS 2007)
Posted in Everything, Software Development, tagged Microsoft SharePoint on July 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I had a client call me up with a MOSS 2007 permission problem. The complaint was that users in a site owners group, with "full control" permission level, were unable to create a page anywhere in the WCM site collection. Turns out that somewhere along the line the approvers group was deleted by mistake, which [...]
SharePoint InfoPath Submission as Anonymous User
Posted in Everything, Software Development, tagged Microsoft InfoPath, Microsoft SharePoint on July 1, 2008 | 16 Comments »
Creation of user submitted forms within web sites typically involves some HTML and JavaScript magic; to post data to a back end business storage or processing system. ASP.NET relies on form HTTP POST exclusively to implement the page post back mechanism, familiar to all ASP.NET developers.

SPSecurityTrimmedControl
Posted in Everything, Software Development, tagged Microsoft SharePoint on April 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This is one of those blog posts that I cannot take credit, but want to keep the information handy for a later time. The SPSecurityTrimmedControl shipped with WSSv3 is a very powerful control. It basically allows you to conditionally display content depending on the user’s permission. Thanks to Waldek for his post on conditional security [...]
SharePoint Identity
Posted in Everything, Software Development, tagged Microsoft SharePoint on January 25, 2008 | 5 Comments »
SharePoint user identity is sometimes confusing for developers…. When connecting to external resources (like a SQL database via BDC) what user identity does SharePoint use? How does SharePoint impersonate when using forms-based authentication? What’s the difference between a Windows user and a WSS User? What is SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges? It’s questions like those above the can often [...]
Custom XML Feeds in IE7
Posted in Applications, Everything, Software Development, tagged Microsoft Internet Explorer on January 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I often find myself writing custom XML generators in ASP.NET using Http Handlers. To test my code I want to open my browser and render the XML – naturally. In the days of IE6 all was good – I could render the XML and Internet Explorer would show me a nicely formatted view of my [...]
SharePoint Custom Content & Structure Report
Posted in Everything, Software Development, tagged Microsoft SharePoint on January 9, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I came across some really cool functionality in SharePoint 2007 today…. One of my clients has a deep hierarchy of sites and pages maintained in SharePoint – this hierarchy drives content management for their web site. Most of the publishing pages on their site have an embedded boolean field, called “Appear on Home Page” as [...]
