• How to change Checkin comment after save
  
  If your company has very strict requirements on version numbering and want the comments to each of these versions to be correct, then you may run into a problem if you store the documents in SharePoint. The version comment is determined when you check in your document, and after the checkin there is no supported way to change these comments. If you really need to change the comments of a document and are willing to go the unsupported way of changing the content database directly then this little program can do the work for you: Tags: SharePoint

• Caching a SharePoint list as a datatable
  
  For one of my current projects I needed to show a SPGridView with data from a small list on the frontpage of the Intranet. The list wasn't very small so didn't want to read if from the database on every hit of the frontpage, but on the hand it was so big that I couldn't cache it. Now the big question was how to cache it. If I used PortalSiteMapProvider then it'll always be refreshed when there was a change, but it would be hard to get the data into the SPGridView for displaying, sorting, paging and filtering.

• Turn Default Upload Overwrite Off in WSS 3.0
  
  and MOSS 2007, but sometimes you may want to change this default. MOSS junkie has a post on how to change that default. But his solution has the downside of having to modify one of the standard application pages which is unsupported and may be overwritten by a upgrade. So how do we change the default without modifying upload.aspx? This delegate allows you to add any number of usercontrols to the page header of every page in sites where your feature is activated. So we add a feature with the following elements.xml file: Tags: SharePoint

• How to use a publishing page as display form
  
  A client wanted to place a SharePoint calendar on a publishing page and have it configured such that when you clicked an event the full details showed up at the top of the page, and searching for calendar items should also put you at this page. Sounds easy just put the calendar view on the page and set the calendars display form to be that page. But setting the display form to be the publishing page puts the ID of the calendar item in the URL of the publishing page which then confuses SharePoint as it thinks it has to lookup that id in the Pages list.

• Implementing a simple Cascading Dropdown in a usercontrol
  
  A user wanted some guidance on how to implement a cascading dropdown in SharePoint. The following will show a simple example of how to implement that as a user control which has properties for selecting a list, a choice field in that list for the first dropdown and a field for which all appropriate values are shown in the second dropdown.

• Look up instance of potentially recurring calendar event
  
  In my last post I described how to redirect to a publishing page in order to use it as display form for a calendar. It caused the problem of having to look up the right instance of the calendar event (in case of recurrence) ourselves. poked around in the SDK to find a method which could look up an item from a list based on the RecurrenceID, but without any luck. Despite the DRY principle I had to reimplement the same function. Tags: SharePoint If we just implement an ordinary display form SPContext does the lookup for us.

• Features inside a Solution isn't deactivated when the Solution is retracted
  
  except for their names, which makes it very hard to write and speak about them): * Features because they make it very easy (at least compared to WSS 2.0) to add functionality to a SharePoint site. One of the great strengths of Features is the ability to have code executed when the Feature is activated and again when it's deactivated. See this post on how to fix that. Tags: SharePoint Features and Solutions are two of the best features in WSS 3.0 This is very handy for doing any kind of setup and teardown.
