You should. But here is a tool that can help get it: http://www.infopathdev.com/files/folders/help_files/entry25827.aspx  

When deploying custom SPOneTimeSchedule job definitions sometimes the timer service (OWSTIMER.EXE) just sorta sits there. Your job definition is created, but isn't executed. It will most likely eventually run, but I have better things to do than sit around wait for it. Setting the time for the job in the past seems to move things along faster. // Create new job CustomJob MyJob = new CustomJob(Constants.JOB_NAME, webApp, properties.Definition.DisplayName); MyJob.Title = Constants.JOB_TITLE; // Set up the job to run once MyJob.Schedule = new SPOneTimeSchedule(DateTime.Now.AddHours(-4)); MyJob.Update();

Do you know the difference between .Net CLR versions? Is 2.0.50727.1433 newere than 2.0.50727.42? What's the difference? Here is a nice reference: http://alt.pluralsight.com/wiki/default.aspx/Keith/DotnetVersionWiki.html  

What should be a simple engagement turned into a headache this evening. Importing from Excel in Sql 2005 has become more cumbersome due to various 'issues' with the import/export wizard.  So here is a good solution: SELECT * INTO XLImport4 FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:\test\xltest.xls', [Customers$]) May have to enable Ad Hoc Remote queries in SAC. May have to place the Excel file on the SQL server's file system. Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321686/en-us    

SubText is the blog engine of my choice. Skinning is simple, it's free, it's written in .Net and it's feature rich. Now if I we could only get some visitor stats.  Google Analytics to the rescue. JavaScript tracking code is what makes GA work.  Adding the tracking code to SubText was simple enough. DTP.asxp is the page that SubText uses to dynamically render content. So we just insert the JavaScript snippet right above the </body> tag and we're all set. GA takes a few hours for the stats to show up... still waiting.

I thought the name for this module is perfect. It's a gallery module that lots you page a single folder with arrows. I'll improve the basics at some point, but for now, it is what it is.   Download theOh So Simple Gallery all zipped up and ready to go. Warning: download and use at your risk. you should be comfortable with vb.net to fix anything or to make improvements.

http://www.oaksvillage.org/default.apsx is still under development. But the pure CSS skin with DNN backend is ready. Thanks to a very friendly graphic designer the site looks very nice. Next step is SEO and analytics software hookup! Frustrations include the fact that DNN does not produce validatable code. So, I ended up with quirksmode in transitional HTML. I ended up using the new DNN:Nav navigation control. CSS flow box drop-down was fixed by overflow:hidden and using an admin skin for editing content in controls that would otherwise break the page. A day's labor. I'm using my home-made javascript transition module that I used MooTools...

About a year ago I've started to focus on two technologies to develop websites with. Dot Net Nuke and SharePoint. Both products are .Net based and Microsoft backed. At the end of this post are links to articles that do a good job comparing the two frameworks. Needless to say, as frameworks, these products vary greatly in the way you can accomplish your goals. Nevertheless, having the common thread of .Net makes them similiar in so many ways. I'm excited to continue to explore (and amazed at) some of the powerful tools that each product provides out of the box.  As...
