Hey everyone, Sorry to be so lax in my postings. I was really busy getting ready for PDC and now Beta1 for Office looms somewhere on the horizon. Please check out Rob Mauceri's blog on our plans moving forward. Additionally, check out this article...

I just found something pretty interesting about using a Data View Web Part to view items in a Document Library that contains folders. Without going into all the technical details, essentially the "Edit" link will return an "Item not found" error for any...

Hi, I was just asked a great question: "How do I create a hyperlink when using a Lookup field that points to the item for that lookup field..." This is not completely straightforward, so bare with me. In this example, I am using the Announcements...

Hello again, We are chugging along with the next version of Office and are super busy around here trying to get the right features into the next version of the Data View and SharePoint customization story. That said, I was looking through some older posts...

I just came across Serge's Blog last night and wanted to link to it, but also wanted to get some feedback. I've been working on documenting all the DDWRT functions the come with the DataViewWebPart, when much to my surprise, Serge had already a good job...

This one is really more of a KB article topic than SharePoint specific, but I was asked this question by a SharePoint developer who uses a lot of DIVs, so I thought I'd post it here. If you use FrontPage Behaviors to do things like change the background...

I posted awhile ago about how to select unique values for tabular data views, but I have now received a few emails asking how to do it for drop-down lists. It is almost the exact same code, but apparently this is confusing enough to warrant a different...

I have seen this come up a few times lately and I feel like I'm just typing the same thing over an over, so I'll post it here. I'm sorry I am being so bad about posting lately, I am going to try to do better. The goal of this article is to use an XML...

I have a Data View Web Part that displays the status of several different servers I maintain. Basically, I am using a SharePoint list. The List has a Title field which contains the name of each server and a multiple choice field that lets me set the status...

This is one of those issues that bugs me quite a bit. When you want to customize the NewForm or EditForm.aspx pages on a wss site, you have to live in code (reading CAML or encoded HTML). Or even build something yourself from scratch. Since the toolbar...

I get asked this one a lot, and thought I had blogged it but it looks like I didn't. The general user scenario is where you have a parent site ( http://myserver ) that contains a list of information that is relevant to a bunch of subsites ( http://myserver...

Windows SharePoint Services ships with some really powerful web services that allow users to access list and site information not available through other means. FrontPage 2003 allows users to access these web services in a very straight forward manner...

On a new page insert a few of the Announcements list Insert a Form Web Part Change the input type of the Form to be a drop-down field and add some values: All 1 2 Place the cursor into the Data View you created in Step 1 and click...

This is a modified post. My original code sample was more complicated than it needed to be. This one is WAY simpler. I was just thinking that it should be a lot easier to use a Form Web Part and be able to either filter a data view based on that Form...

1. Insert two Data Views of your data. 2. Select one of the Data Views, choose Style from the Data View Details taskpane. 3. Choose the drop-down box style from the list of styles, click OK. 4. Right click this Data View, choose Web Part connections...

Hey there. FrontPage shipped a View Style for the Data View Web Part that doesn't really do anything. The style is the drop-down style. What most people want from this style is the ability to fire connections from it, so I wrote a KB article about this...

If you have a DVWP and you want to make it page (so you show only 6 items at a time, for example), by default FrontPage does not add the Total number of items to display. In order to show the total, you just need to add a small piece of XSLT to the...

This little tip just went through my inbox at work. If you have a DVWP and you want to make it page (so you show only 6 items at a time, for example), by default FrontPage does not add the Total number of items to display. In order to show the total...

I just posted a new howto article based on a post to the wss public newsgroup. In FrontPage 2002, if you choose to “layout customize” a CAML list view and change it into a Dropdown form field, it would automatically still link to the proper...

Here is a howto article for making a dropdown view that links to the proper WSS page for display. For the Announcements list as an example: 1. Insert a view of the Announcements list in FrontPage 2. Data..Style 3. From the General tab, select the Drop...

Not SharePoint authoring per se, but here’s a good article on MSDN about using FrontPage 2003 to write ASP.net pages . The article is written by Dave Berry author of FrontPage Unleashed books and one of the FP MVPs who I recently met when they came...
