http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962216/EN-US First you get a message telling you to look for KB article 962935, which canot be found. One MS employee on the forum (who is really very helpful) suggested it may not ready for public release yet. If you are going to put the KB article in an error message at least make sure it exists! As an aside, I wonder if it is the MOSS install program that is telling me it cannot run in Windows Server 2008 R2 or if there is something in the OS telling the installer

Some of you may have read Joel's recent blog posting regarding the MVP program in general, and it appears, the SharePoint MVP program specifically. While some of the point raised may be valid I do not think they tell the entire story. I am not sure if this will help or hurt but I felt like I needed to write something. First a little background for those who do not know me. I am proud to have been one of the first SharePoint MVPs and kept my MVP award until last year when I joined Microsoft. I

We have been using a lot of updatepanels (yeah, I know there is a performance issue but that is a different post) and, as usual, it worked great on my computer but not so great at the customer site. What the panel does is to process a search request without the postback. At the customer site we saw the information being sent to the search engine and the data coming back, but it would never show the results.\ To make a long story short, after many network traces and a rather long call with Microsoft

Since we called Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 MOSS what are we going to call Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010? MSS is already taken as an acronymn (Microsoft Search Server) but I would bet it catches on in the general population. I was thinking we would call it "Mizz S" or "Missus". Maybe take some leeway with the acronym and call it "MiSS"? Any other ideas?

Well, assuming the release schedule that Microsoft just posted is actually correct we will. Now if only they would start releasing tidbits as to what we can expect in the product. So no more MOSS, or SharePoint Portal Server. Now it is just SharePoint! http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2009/Apr09/04-15Office2010.mspx Other good tidbits in there other than SharePoint also.

Well, maybe not the best technically....or graphically, but you have got to love the subject matter! http://www.ferrari.com/Pages/Country_selector.aspx

I have a XSLT file where I need to pass strings to javascript. Due to the way the code is written the string designator is the single quote. Typically that is not an issue but what happens if the text you pass in contains an apostrophe, AKA single quote? You will need to perform a translation within XSLT to change the apostrophe to &quot; Now comes the fun part. Here is a XSLT translation: <xsl:value-of select="translate(.,'a','A')" /> so how to you tell XSLT that

I have run into this while trying to get the AjaxControlToolkit working with MOSS. Turns out there are a couple of things that can cause this. The first is using CreateChildControls to create your controls. While this is typically a best practice in this case it can cause an error. You can create your controls in the OnInit call instead. The second one, and the most annoying is any other error thrown but not caught. This took a while to figure out and can be a real pain if you do not have the ability

Recently I came across an issue where I had checkboxes outputted via XSLT (which only outputs HTML) but needed to have the values of the selected checkboxes sent to a C# object. After banging my head against the wall and trying various schemes I remembered that JavaScript can be used to perform a postback. Now if there was only some way to pass data when performing the postback. Turns out there is. In JavaScript you can use the call "__doPostBack(variablename, value);" to perform the postback
