This toolbox assists the XML content author and developer working with the new XML features of Word 2003.

The Word XML Toolbox requires that .NET Programmability Support is enabled. For .NET Programmability Support to be installed during the Office 2003 setup, the PIAs require the .NET Framework 1.1 already be installed. It is recommended that you install the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 before you install Microsoft Office 2003. With the .NET Framework 1.1 already installed, a complete installation of Office 2003 will install all of the PIAs. "

We've got to come up with a better way to catalog Web Parts -- any ideas?

We've got to come up with a better way to catalog Web Parts -- any ideas?: "We know that there are as many, probably more, Web Parts than there are portlets for any other portal vendor, but we need to be able to prove it. We need a way to list every Web Part in existence. I am very, very open to suggestions. I'll tell you what's been tried that hasn't really worked to date:
We maintain a Web Component Directory at http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/downloads/components. It was intended to provide a Yellow Pages environment for administrators and power users. It includes Web Parts, but it includes other things as well. The unit of enumeration is companies' solutions, not individual Web Parts. We've supplemented it with a list of all known Web Parts that are in the box when you get several MS products, but that kind of confuses matters.
There are developer-to-developer Web Part projects or samples on http://www.gotdotnet.com and other sites, but there's no attempt to provide a comprehensive list.
There are some third-party for-profit sites like http://www.gotsharepoint.com and http://www.msd2d.com that offer catalogs of Web Parts, but there's no attempt to provide a comprehensive list, either." .....

TheServerSide.NET - WebParts - From Sharepoint to ASP.NET 2.0

The core code of SharePoint WebParts can be easily ported to ASP.NET WebParts. It goes without saying that the more platform-specific features you use, the more work is required to adapt controls. However, conceptually speaking SharePoint and ASP.NET WebParts support a nearly identical set of features so that mapping one to the other doesn’t pose insurmountable problems.

SharePoint Thoughts - Discussion view

SharePoint Thoughts - Discussion view: "Many of the big companies I work with have a pretty common and reasonable request - how do I track usage of my portal implementation? This is a fairly tepid story as you learn about SharePoint and read through some of our Help files and KB articles. In short, our standard story is:
You can use Usage Analysis for Windows SharePoint Services
It won't work for SharePoint Portal Server (and we took it out of the admin UI after beta 1 or 2)
KB838702 says 'No usage analysis data is collected for portal sites in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003.'

If you look in the IIS logs, you'll see that every time you download a document from SharePoint, the individual document is NOT recorded in the logs. Instead, the DLL that streamed the file back to you is - owssrv.dll.

What's a poor user to do? Fortunately all is not as grim as things might appear. Here are some things to help steer you in the right direction."

Ray Ozzie: Microsoft's current collaboration products and Groove build on each other's strengths. Distributed teams can use Groove to create ad-hoc workspaces that reside on team members' PCs and later have the documents, plans and other workspace content published to a managed SharePoint Web Portal. Or an individual can bring content from a SharePoint site into a Groove workspace on his or her laptop -- in order to work on that content with others, to automatically and securely synchronize it between home and work computers, or just to stay productive when temporarily disconnected from the network.

Workflow Lite for SharePoint RC1 (Finally!)
Finally I've found some time to work some more on my SharePoint Lite for SharePoint project and today the Release Candidate 1 can be downloaded form the GotDotNet Workspace. RC1 is feature-complete for V1 (I've already got some cool features for the next version in mind), to get an idea what's possible you can watch this video. To install the workflow engine, execute the MSI package (so the assembly gets deployed to the GAC) and follow the installation instructions closely. The installation instructions are modified a little bit, so the installation video isn't up to date anymore but it will be updated ASAP. Probably the main part in the installation is the creation of the config file that contains the workflow logic. At this point you need to alter the configuration XML file manually, but there's a Configuration Application on its way. A very basic configuration file could look like this (updated on the 15th of June, see http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2004/06/15/156419.aspx)

CRN | Breaking News | Microsoft Readies Server Changes

CRN | Breaking News | Microsoft Readies Server Changes
Microsoft's shifting server strategy looks to be shifting some more.
The company is moving toward converging SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) and Content Management Server (CMS) functionality into a single "server system," due in 2006, CRN has learned.

Microsoft officials have discussed the plans so much that some partners thought the move had been definitively announced. It has not.

SPS, the focal point of Microsoft's collaboration strategy, hosts departmental collaboration sites and deals with Web content. CMS is more geared for traditional content management.

"CMS and SharePoint are merging, and it makes sense," said one source close to Microsoft. A solution provider in the Northwest concurred that the rationale is sound: "We're doing a lot of point integration between CMS and SPS. I don't think we have one CMS deal that does not also include the portal," he said.

Despite the buzz, Microsoft remains mum. "It's too soon to comment about the future of SharePoint products and technologies or Content Management Server," said Erik Ryan, product manager of Microsoft Office Sharepoint, via email. The company remains committed to its "Office System approach," which will provide programs, servers and services to improve productivity, he said.

But several sources said the plan is a go for 2006, with the new server system to be part of the Office 12 product wave. Office 12 is the planned successor to Office 2003.

TheServerSide.NET - Integrating 3rd Party Single Sign On in Sharepoint Portal Server: "Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 enables enterprises to develop an intelligent portal that seamlessly connects users, teams, and knowledge so that people can take advantage of relevant information across business processes to help them work more efficiently. Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 have become very popular in recent years and have helped many businesses create an infrastructure for sharing and collaborating internal information.
Intranet users are commonly required to use a separate password to authenticate themselves to each server they need to access in the course of their work. Multiple passwords are an ongoing headache for both users and system administrators. Users have difficulty keeping track of different passwords, tend to choose poor ones, and then write them down in obvious places. Administrators must keep track of a separate password database on each server and deal with potential security problems related to the fact that passwords are sent over the network routinely and frequently.
Single sign-on (SSO) is mechanism whereby a single action of user authentication and authorization can permit a user to access all computers and systems that he or she has access permissions for, without the need to enter multiple passwords. "

I have a Data View Web Part that displays the status of several different servers I maintain. Basically, I am using a SharePoint list. The List has a Title field which contains the name of each server and a multiple choice field that lets me set the status to "UP," "DOWN," or "CAUTION."

For each of these three statuses, I have a little gif image of a green arrow, red arrow and yellow circle respectively. What I want to do is create a data view that has the name of the server and displays the arrow based on the what the status is.

Here's how to do that.

Open the wss site in FrontPage 2003
Click Data..Insert Data View
Right click the SharePoint list that contains my data
Click "Show Data"
Select the Title field
Click "Insert Data View"
Since I only selected one field, I get a bulleted list. So I change this: by clicking on Data..Style > General tab and changing to Tabular view..OK
Place the Cursor next to one of the server names and add a new column to my view: Table > Insert > Rows and Columns
Place the Cursor inside a cell in this new column and insert my image

Using Conditional Formatting opens up a huge world of possibilities. You can modify views by passing parameters via web part connections, you can format items conditionally, you can show data or hide data based on complex XPATH by clicking on the Advanced button in the filter dialog, and on and on.

Server Developer Center: Internal SQL Server Diagnostics Tools, Part 1: PSSDiag
SQL Server Developer Center: Internal SQL Server Diagnostics Tools, Part 1: PSSDiag: "Ken Henderson explains how to use PSSDiag, a diagnostics collection tool for SQL Server. PSSDiag is one of several Microsoft Product Support Services tools recently released to the Web that are now available for personal use. "

The first in a series of articles, this discusses PSSDiag, which if you ever call MS for support with SQL Server it is one of the first things they will ask you to run. So a very useful tool to be familiar with it, and useful to keep regular benchmarks with too. Spotted over at Michael Rys' blog.

SharePoint User Manager (Version: X1.0)

SharePoint User Manager (Version: X1.0)
Not sure about other people, but I find it quite time consuming when trying to manage users inside of Windows SharePoint Services sites, especially when the sites in the hierarchy have their security inheritance broken. A number of customers end up breaking security inheritance at every opportunity and then hit this problem.

So, I am in the process of writing a SharePoint User Manager Windows Application in order to help out in this area!

Below is a screenshot of the utility to-date (Note: This is version X1.0 and as such has restricted functionality)
