Announcing the Great SharePoint Adventure Road Show
Unregistering Custom Record Declaration Handlers
As you know, using the SharePoint 2010 server object model, you can install your own custom record declaration handlers. Didn’t know that? Oh? You mean you haven’t already setup your site to keep track of every time a record is declared or undeclared? Well, you’re in for a treat! But you’ll have a wait a [...]
CAML.NET Intellisense – Schema Update
One of the neat things about the latest version of CAML.NET Intellisense is that it automatically updates itself whenever a change is made to the published schema. The updated schema file is downloaded and installed the next time Visual Studio is started, so there is nothing you have to do, and you don’t have to [...]
CAML.NET Intellisense for SharePoint 2010
Well, I finally gone and done it! The CAML.NET IntelliSense Extension for Visual Studio 2010 is finally out in the wild, so have at it you crazy SharePoint devheads!
For those of you already using the SharePoint 2007 version, you know the basic idea. Extend the default CAML schema files with detailed annotations imported from the [...]
Gearing up for the Best Practices Conference
Well, the date is fast approaching for the annual SharePoint Best Practices Conference hosted by MindSharp. This will be my first time speaking at the conference, and I must admit I’m getting pretty excited about it.
The thing about this conference that sets it apart from others is that it really focuses everyone’s attention on [...]
SharePoint Developer Center Goes Live
Checkout the new SharePoint Developer Center at http://msdn.microsoft.com/sharepoint. Lots of cool stuff, including links to how-to videos, articles and code samples.
I’m particularly excited about the new online SDK content. Microsoft apparently listened and learned from our collective cries of “Help!” when the 2007 version was released without enough quality supporting documentation. This time is [...]
SharePoint Job Tweets Now Available @SPDEVNET
As we all know, the economy is still struggling, and although the IT sector is rebounding well, the developer job market has always been and continues to be somewhat finicky. The key is to have a steady stream of opportunities. This is one of the primary goals behind the SharePoint Developer Network- [...]
New WSS Workflow Activities for SharePoint Designer
One of the great things about Windows Workflow Foundation is the support for declarative no-code workflows that reference pre-compiled workflow activity libraries. With enough of these activity libraries in place, you can use SharePoint Designer 2007 to build some pretty powerful applications without writing any additional code. But it also presents a kind of chicken-and-egg [...]
SharePoint 2010 Developer Training Videos Online
Microsoft today released a set of videos on Channel 9that showcase the new features of SharePoint 2010 from a developer perspective. Here are some of the topics that caught my eye:

There are 15 units so far. Each one consists [...]
New Book on Records Management Development
It's kind of surreal, but the day has finally arrived when I can say "it's done"! My new book, Professional SharePoint 2007 Records Management Development:
Managing Official Records with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is on its way to store shelves and is available directly from Wiley.com, Amazon.com and other online retailers.
This book is for [...]
