SharePoint: A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client

I had the problem that after configuring Sharepoint for .Net 3.5  suddenly I could not edit some sharepoint pages anymore. At  first I changed the debug settings in web.config to get more clear error messages (instead of  „an unexpected error occured“).

See here for Details for enabling clear error messges

After that I got the strange error messsage „A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client“…after 2 hourse researching I found the solution…..

Somehow a section inside the Web.config has disappeared (or I deleted it accidentely…)

Semantic URL’s in MOSS 2007 (Imtech SharePoint Semantic URL’s free Feature) – Waldek Mastykarz

Semantic URL’s are one of the things I always wanted to have in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Since the first time I have opened an Internet facing site made in SharePoint 2007 I knew it would be great if the Pages part of the URL could be removed as well as the .aspx extension.

I believe that everyone working on Web Content Management (WCM) solutions would agree, that semantic URL’s are very important in today’s Web. First of all they are much more user friendly. Visitors are able to memorize certain URL’s based on their information. Compare for example http://mycompany.com/Division/Services with http://www.mycompany.com/Division/Pages/Services.aspx. The second one will be obviously much more difficult to remember for someone who doesn’t know SharePoint.

Things that Should be Easy: Impersonation options in SharePoint code

Interesting article about the possiblities to Impersonation:

Summary

„When creating web parts, event receivers, timer jobs and other SharePoint code, I often find that I need to temporarily grant the code more permissions than the current user has. I’ve found that many developers either don’t know what options they have for user impersonation through code or are confused as to the subtle differences between the various options.“

SharePoint: Dynamische Verlinkung zur Wiki einbauen

Oft kommt es vor, dass es zu einer umfangreichen Sharepoint Anwendung auch eine umfangreiche Wiki gibt. Hier ein Beispiel wie man zu den Listen eine dynamsiche Verlinkung zu der Wiki der aktuellen Liste in die Seite enbauen kann. Wenn es zu der aktuellen Liste kein Wiki gibt, dann wird auf die Wiki-Startseite verlinkt.

Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology

Der neue Gartner Report bezüglich Information Access Technology ist draussen.

Wie schon letztes Jahr wird Microsoft als Spitzenreiter angeschaut. Mal schauen wie sich das bis nächstes Jahr entwickelt wenn SharePoint 2010 da ist und viele Technologien (bspw. FAST) integriert sind.

Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services

Es wurde eine CTP der Visual Studio Extensions for WSS 1.3 freigegeben. So wie es aussieht wird es vor SharePoint 2010 keine neue Version – und wohl schon gar nicht eine RTM geben. Wichtigste Änderung ist die Unterstützung von 64 Bit OS.

Hier eine Auflistung aller Features

New Features in VSeWSS 1.3

• The extensions now install on x64 bit OS. Visual Studio 2008 and SharePoint must be already installed.
• Command Line Build option for TFS and MSBuild integration
• Separate WSP Package and Retract commands. You can now build the WSP without deploying it
• SPSolGen to Support Exporting from Content Management Publishing Sites
• New Item Template for RootFiles Deployment
• Automatically Remove conflicting existing features on development SharePoint server
• WSP View New Feature Dialog Improvements: scope, receiver checkbox, element checkbox
• WSP View can now be used to merge features and it blocks site features being merged into web features
• Allow adding separate binary files such as Workflow assemblies
• Some refactoring allowing for Web Part renaming and removing lines from feature.xml Item Removed
• Allow selection of GAC or BIN deployment for Web Part Project not including CAS generation
• Increase visibility of hidden features that VSeWSS creates
• Add fast update deploy for DLL only or file only changes to solutions
• Numerous Bug Fixes and improvements to error messages

Dokumenation von SharePoint Farmen

Mit Hilfe eines Tools von Codeplex kann man automatisch eine umfangreiche Dokumentation der MOSS Farm erstellen lassen.

Das Teil erstellt anhand einer XSLT Vorlage ein Word Dokument. Das heisst man kann somit die Ausgabe ins Word-Dokument steuern.
