When we started with SharePoint 2010 in May 2010, the first thing we did was to create a set of installation scripts to install …

Today I was looking at the Board of Directors template, which is one of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Application Templates (also known as the fabulous 40). This template contains an event calendar for board events. When you add a new board event to that list, a SharePoint Designer workflow creates a new Meeting minutes …

A number of customers have asked us to change the behavior of the Close button in an announcement. The default behavior is that when the user clicks the Close button, he is redirected to the default view of the list. Unless the querystring contains the ‘Source’ parameter.

After reading the instruction and warning by Robin, I decided the Hierarchical Object Store was the place to save the configuration. Instead of persisting one object, I had to save a number of objects. Inspired by …
