In windows 10, if your network adaptor isn’t using DHCP, you appear to be stuck in “Unidentified Network” land. For example, this will apply if you set up an internal network for a Hyper-V VM with static IPs.
If you want to enable say, file sharing on that network this leaves you with a dilemma. Do you turn on sharing by defauly, which includes untrusted networks? A better option is to change the network type to Private, but how? Continue reading
I came across an interesting situation after clicking on the “View Library” link in some search results. Clicking on “View Library” resulted in a “something went wrong” error, but why?
So, you’ve provisioned a new SharePoint online tenant, and would like to replace the Team Site at the root URL with a site using the ‘Publishing Portal’ template. Seems reasonable, right? Continue reading
A client recently wanted to copy and paste hyperlinks with friendly descriptions from Excel in to the Hyperlink column of a list in SharePoint online.
This used to work back in SharePoint 2010 with Datasheet view because it used an ActiveX control that provided rich functionality. Since SharePoint 2013, the Datasheet view has been replaced with the Quick Edit view, which is HTML and JavaScript only. While this is great for browser compatibility, it does mean that the Quick Edit view has less functionality than the ActiveX control used to have. Continue reading
October has certainly been a busy month for me! One of the reasons was that I had the opportunity to speak at the SharePoint Dnevi, or SharePoint Days conference in Portotož, Slovenia last week. The conference was on the 22nd and 23rd of October.
Since AngularJS is becoming ever more popular, I thought it would be a good idea to show people the benefits of using it with SharePoint apps.
We have great patterns and practices when it comes to server side code, but often the accompanying JavaScript ends up being difficult to manage. AngularJS is a great fit in these circumstances, especially when you consider SharePoint Hosted Apps which are JavaScript only.
I’ll have to cut this post a bit short, but here is the slide deck that I presented, for those that are interested.
So you need to store user data in your SQL database. Do you store a foreign key to your identity table? An Active Directory (or other) login string? Their full name?
Let me first say that while I have some experience with audit records in various environments, this post doesn’t relate to anything specific. Rather, it stems from a discussion on the topic with some colleagues, so I thought it would be useful to publish my thoughts on the matter. Continue reading
Following the success of the Xamarin Hack Days in Sydney, Brisbane and Beijing, we’re gearing up to host a Xamarin Hack Day in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
If you’re in the area, register and have a crack at building a cross-platform mobile app on the day. There are phones and other goodies that will be given away courtesy of Microsoft and Xamarin, so don’t miss out!
If you can’t make it, or want to get a head start before the event, you can also check out some of the presentations from previous events on SSW TV.
See you there!
Do you use check-in policies in TFS?
I recorded a quick video explaining how to enforce associating Check-Ins with TFS Work Items. This policy can be used with both TFS 2013 and the current revision Visual Studio Online. It is worth noting that these policies are not compatible with Git.
I recently had the opportunity to migrate a five-year old project from Subversion (SVN) to Visual Studio Online (VSOnline). Actually, at the start of the project we were really migrating to the Team Foundation Service, but then the service went live as Visual Studio Online in the middle of actually migrating content! Despite this, the migration barely skipped a beat. Continue reading
Recently I’ve been trying to get an MVC controller working with the StructureMap.MVC4 NuGet package. In the process, I got a rather uninformative error which had me stumped for a while. Continue reading
