More on using the VS11 fake library to fake out SharePoint
Sat, May 5 2012 9:35
I recently posted on how you could use the new fakes tools in VS11 to fake out SharePoint for testing purposes. I received comments on how I could make my Shim logic easier to read so though I would revisit the post. This led me down a bit of a complex trail, and to Pete Provost for pointing the way out! When I did the previous post I had used SP2007, this was... Read More...

Update on using Typemock Isolator to allow webpart development without a Sharepoint server
Tue, Sep 6 2011 16:56
I have in the past posted about developing SharePoint web parts without having to use a SharePoint server by using Typemock Isolator . This technique relies on using Cassini or IIS Express as the web server to host the aspx page that in turn contains the webpart. This is all well and good for SharePoint 2007, but we get a problem with SharePoint 2010 which seems... Read More...

Linking a TFS work item to a specific version of a document in SharePoint
Tue, Aug 2 2011 8:39
SharePoint in my opinion is a better home for a Word or Visio requirements document than TFS. You can use all the SharePoint document workspace features to allow collaboration in the production of the document. When you have done enough definition to create your projects user stories or requirement then you can create them in TFS using whatever client you wish... Read More...

[More] Fun with WCF, SharePoint and Kerberos
Wed, Nov 10 2010 10:27
This is a follow up to the post Fun with WCF, SharePoint and Kerberos – well it looks like fun with hindsight When I wrote the last post I thought I had our WCF Kerberos issues sorted, I was wrong. I had not checked what happened when I tried to access the webpart from outside our TMG firewall . When I did this I was back with the error that I had no security... Read More...

Error –4002 on Access services on Sharepoint 2010
Mon, Oct 4 2010 4:45
We have had an internal timesheeting system written in Access services running without any problems for the past through months. At the end of last week, when people tried to submit their timesheets they started getting a -4002 error saying the macro (that saves the weekly sheet) could not be started. Checking the server event logs, Sharepoint logs and Access... Read More...

Running SPDisposeCheck as part of a 2010 CI Build
Sat, Jul 3 2010 14:47
SPDisposeCheck is a great tool for SharePoint developers to make sure that they are disposing of resources correctly. The problem is it is a bit slow to run, a problem as this will mean developers will tend not to run it as often as they should. A good solution to the problem is to run it as part of the continuous integration process. There is are posts on how... Read More...

IDD Building a breakfast comment to a become process – now there is a leap
Sun, Jun 20 2010 2:48
Gil at Typemock has been posting about some ideas we discussed over breakfast at the Typemock Partner conference a while ago, I have been a bit slow at commenting, so I though I better add to the conversation. Though Typemock is an excellent mocking framework, for me basic mocking is not its biggest win. All the ‘classic auto mocking’ of interfaces to speed TDD... Read More...

Mocking Sharepoint for Testing
Thu, Apr 22 2010 5:47
In my previous post I talked about using Isolator to mock Sharepoint to aid the speed of the development process. I find this a productive way of working, but it does not really help in the realm of automated testing. You need a way to programmatically explore a webpart, preferably outside of SharePoint to check its correctness. You could use the methods in my... Read More...

Post QCon thoughts
Sat, Mar 13 2010 6:10
Interesting time at QCon yesterday, shame I was only there one day, I do like the events that are not limited to a single vendor or technology. The multi presenter session I was involved in on Microsoft interoperability seemed to go well, there is talk of repeating at other events or podcasting. It is a nice format if you can get the sub-sessions linking nicely... Read More...

I recently been working with a client who has been seeing strange problems when they try to create new workitems via a SharePoint portal site on a TFS2010 Beta2 installation. They appeared to have a fully working TFS2010 installation, but when they came in on a morning they found that even though they could login to the TFS created SharePoint team site they could...

Access Services in SharePoint 2010 or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Access 2010
Mon, Oct 19 2009 13:52
So what I have I been doing of late? The blog has been a bit quiet. Well I have been having a good look at Access Services in SharePoint 2010. This has been an interesting experience, as I am not historically what you might call an avid Access developer. Like most .NET developers I had looked as Access as more of a file format than an application, something from... Read More...
