Today I faced a problem during the SharePoint server migration that I'm working on. First I made the backup for the database and restored it on the destination server, but it didn't work very well. The root site collection didn't work, I just received a "404 Page not found" error from it. So I chose to import/export every site collection from the entire web application, and surprise....another error. But this time I received the "Failed to compare two elements in the array" error message during the root site collection export. This is one of the annoying error messages from SharePoint, but a visit to Live Search and the answeer comes! Steven Van De Craen a SharePoint MVP suggested that the problem is caused by...

On Wednesday Bob Fox announced the launch of the ISPA and its website at http://www.sharepointpros.org/ . Bob's been putting this together for well over a year so first off, congratulations to Bob on launching and thank-you for all the hard work you do to help user groups world-wide. What does the ISPA do? Initially its goal is to support existing SharePoint user groups and help people kick-start new ones. There's a small board and a number of evangelists world-wide. Reza and I are the first two "Canadian Evangelists" and we can't wait to have counterparts in the West and East. Canada only has one SharePoint User Group ( Toronto ) but there is demand from coast-to-coast. If you've been wishing there was somewhere you...

No matter how hard you try, or time you spend... there is always something new to learn on SharePoint. Not just as Developer, Architect, or as IT Pro, but more so as User! I have learnt along that users can best be classified in slabs whereby some adopt a new product quickly, while others find it difficult to grasp new features no matter how usable... and most get to a point where they learn most (usable!) features and form their comfort zone around what they have learnt by cognitive and settle with it. They just won't move ahead of curve, and you can either blame users or the product... go figure! I think SharePoint has many such boundaries, and I keep seeing them. I wonder, why didn't O'Reilly come up with a title like "SharePoint...

I think this is an interesting question that I'm speculating with regards to vNext of SharePoint. Also to gather everyone's opinion on possibilities and their wishlist. So I think, some of the interesting usage scenario's for Silverlight in SharePoint are: Workflows : Various possibilities where usability on workflow's can be maximized over browser, and not remain exclusivity of SharePoint Designer or Visual Studio. Resulting in greater adoption and their understandability for last-mile users, while encapsulating the complexity that hinders (if any). Workflow History : Instead of present approach of showing history in tabular grid form, which is difficult to capture and almost impossible to understand the transition flow. Therefore...
