Have you ever ran into to problem that your alerts are not sent anymore? When you were looking for them, they seemed to be deactivated? Yes? You're not the only one. This is the solution:

This download includes an update of the XML file used to produce IntelliSense information for the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services managed object model within the Microsoft Visual Studio.NET IDE.

Something that is very usefull but rarely discussed, is using meta data in WSS sites. The Sharepoint object model provides the use of custom properties in a SPWeb object to create your own site meta data.

Sharepoint has this great feature of messenger icons displayed next to a users name. This feature enables users to view the online status, email, telephone number and availability from MS Exchange.

Yesterday, I was part of a demo given by Tam Tam on the Microsoft Portal Event 2004 in the Netherlands. George Parker, an illusionist, was the quizmaster in this game of reality versus creating vitual worlds when implementing Sharepoint.

Monday I'll be giving a sharepoint course for editors. It is the second course I do for 'Het Grafisch Lyceum' in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Before this, I gave a 4-day sharepoint developer course in June this year. It seems like there is a lot of work in teaching Sharepoint.

SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Service Pack 1 now ready for download.

The Meeting Workspace site definition (MPS) can only be used once. This because of a hardcoded ID for this type of site.

The primary focus of Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is improved security. In addition, the service pack includes roll-ups of all reported customer issues found after the release of the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Of particular note, SP1 provides better support for consuming WSDL documents, Data Execution prevention and protection from security issues such as buffer overruns.
