Code Snippet: Working with Permissions (ACLs/ACEs) in C# under .Net 1.1

I've been working lately on adding "self-healing" capabilities to a certain application. The idea is to create a set of utility functions which will validate (and fix if needed) various environmental settings such as NTFS permissions, registry permissions,

VS.NET Bug? Easter Egg?

After "Collapsing to Definitions" (Cntl-M,Cntl-O), Visual Studio decided to color the collapsed code section in black, white and red: Can anyone clue me in on what/why that is? It happened consistently while VS.NET was open, but only for that specific

A tip, a tool and a book

WssDal - a Sharepoint Web Services alternative

About 2 months ago I asked if anyone was interested in an alternative to the WSS webservices . A few people responded and tried my WssDal library. The general consensus seems to be that while it isn't perfect, it is useful enough to continue developing.

Random musings and an Infopath tip

Are the Sharepoint Web Services too complex? Looking for something better?

I'm looking for a few people to help beta-test an alternative to Sharepoint's web services. The solution allows a simple "object modelish" approach to working with WSS, as shown by the following sample code snippets: It also solves some of the WSS web service pain-points, such as download/upload, checkin/checkout, etc. Drop me a mail if you are interested.

Fixing Broken Links after Restoring a Sharepoint (WSS) Site with SMigrate

WSS 2.0 includes a utility called SMigrate which can be used to backup the content and structure of a site and to later recreate a site’s content and structure from the backup file.

Human Workflow Services (HWS) - Just say no

In my Biztalk projects, I had several scenarios which sounded like a great fit for HWS. I spent a fair amount of time and effort but could never get HWS to cooperate. After a while I just gave up on it and advised customers to use standard Biztalk orchestrations

Sharepoint Studies Roadmap

Gregory MacBeth recently posted an exhaustive 28-step roadmap for wannabe Sharepoint developers. IMHO some of the topics there aren't really required for Sharepoint development per-se (UML? UIP Application Block?) but the list is detailed and definitely
