Visual Studio 2008 extensions for SharePoint (VSeWSS) 1.3 addresses all common SharePoint Developer requests

Paul, thanks for the update.

One thing Microsoft needs to keep in mind is that you tend to talk to SharePoint Developers. That's natural. But you may be missing a larger number of people who are not SharePoint developers because of the perceived difficulty of developing SharePoint solutions.

It would be unfortunate if you were missing perhaps twice the number of developers because, for instance, of weak support for developing on non-server systems. Existing SharePoint developers would not need that, or not much, but it may be preventing entry for others. You would never know that if you only talk to SharePoint developers.

After installing the March 2009 CTP, I get the following error when I click Tools/Recycle App Pool :

Error recycling pool. Details: The system cannot find the path specified.

When I view External Tools, Recycle App Pool is defined as:

Title: Recycle App Pool

Command: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\bin\stsadm.exe

Arguments: -o recyclepool -pool mypool

When I look at IIS, Application Pools, SharePoint Central Administration v3, I see *TWO* entries for VSeWSS.

What can I do to fix this error?

John, thanks for the feedback. We have certainly heard this and it's high on the list for getting something done about.

Hi Fred, it seems like there is something amis with your installation either of the external tool (not part of VSeWSS) or with the VSeWSS install. I'd suggest you uninstall all of them and reinstall. VSeWSS has a recycle app pool command off the project right lick menu.

Regards,

Paul

I (1)uninstalled, (2) manually renamed %programfiles%\Microsoft SharePoint Developer Tools 9.0\ to something else (because the CTP fails to completely uninstall itself - please fix this before final release), (3) reinstalled.

When I open up am existing SharePoint MOSS 2007 workflow solution and right-click on the project (not the solution), *I DO NOT SEE ANY RIGHT-CLICK MENU OPTIONS THAT SAY RECYCLE APP POOL*. When I click on the Tools menu and then select Recycle App Pool, I get the error message: Error recycling pool. Details: The system cannot find the path specified.

Questions:

(1) why is the right-click menu option to recycle application pools missing? Is it because VSeWSS does not support Workflow solutions? That's a big disappointment if true because of all the things that need to have Application Pools Recycled, it's SharePoint (MOSS) workflows.

(2) What software is creating the Tools\Recycle App Pools\ menu option if it isn't VSeWSS 1.3 CTP Mar 2009?

Hi Fred,

No VSeWSS does not include SharePoint Workflow projects. These project templates are included in the Visual Studio 2008 main release. Because VSeWSS is being revised more often we have been able to add some things like apppool recycle which currently aren't in the SharePoint Workflow project template.

I would expect that something else on your machine is adding the Tools\Recycle App Pools menu option. It isn't standard Visual Studio or VSeWSS.

Paul

Hi,

I installed VSeWSS 1.3 March 2009 CTP on my virtual machine. However I could not find a couple of templates in the sharepoint section when I tried creating a new project in VS 2008. They are:

1. Content Types

2. List definition from Content Type

I searched a lot on google but did not get a fix to this issue. Please help
