I was asked to help out with a problem with the deployment of a multi-tiered application from the development environment (where everything works) to the QA environment. The basic issue is that where everything works in the development environment, the QA environment is rejecting connection requests...

Don Browning from Turner Broadcasting came out of the fun buildings which bring you the Cartoon Network (and those other channels) to talk to the group about the new architecture features of Visual Studio 2010. Those changes include: 6 new designers case model – a visual view of user stories (including...

You tell them to do things and they partly do it. My gripe with MakeCab is that the files in the CBA archive (or wsp) don't use the same date stamp as what Windows Explorer uses. Building a DLL and as part of a post-build step you're putting the new DLL into the CAB file? Wouldn't it surprise...

I've been working recently on a lot of code which needed debugging inside of SharePoint. One of the frustrating aspects of SharePoint development is the annoying debugging story. Click Debug, click Attach to Process, click your desired process(es), click Attach, click OK on each process popup......

If you are creating an externally accessible portal or extranet with SharePoint which uses Forms based authentication, business requirements such as Search and ECM Publishing might require you to create an intranet portal which uses NTLM or Kerberos authentication. To do this, you'd first create a Web...

I've finally finished (almost) with the project that has been keeping me up late at night. I want to thank Doug Ware , Brendon Schwartz , Dan Attis , and Adam Buenz for all the help they gave me over the past several months while I struggled to bring this beast to its knees. I did some cool work so I...

Have you ever worked on some of those one and two thousand line stored procedures where the indentation was so messed up you couldn't really tell where that left outer join fit in? Wouldn't it be nice if there was a tool out there which would automatically format your code for you, correcting tabs, lining...

Random problem with a relatively innovative discovery method. I am working with an app that sends and receives buckets of data via web services. In one particular case, I was receiving a couple of purchase orders' worth of details and attempting to turn the XML into a DataSet. The DataSet contains 2...

Chris Hays posted this blog post about repeating group headers on each page, having them say "MyGroup (continued)" on all but the first page. This post went up Sept 27th and was a great stroke of luck on my part b/c my current client really wanted this functionality to match an existing report they've...

I was working on an web application today that was having trouble rendering correct. The client added a link to the page and color of the text after that link would render incorrectly. If they took the <a href></a> anchor tag out of the HTML it would render fine. So I looked at the HTML for...

Most of the SQL Server users I know are big fans of stored procedures, but barely use functions, if ever. Functions are really nice, but I'm not going to go into all the reasons you should love them I'm just going to point out the use I recently made of one. You can write what is essentially a stored...

I hit a snag with SSRS 2000. I have data for my report which can be filtered by location or groups of locations. The problem is that this filter requires some dynamic SQL on my part: CREATE PROCEDURE vm_RPT_GetSalesMixData @pInqType integer AS -- set our where clause Declare @LocNoFilter NVARCHAR(100...
