SPItemEventReceiver Bug
Normally when you inherit a class, and override any of the methods, you call the base method, just to be sure you do not interfere with the inner workings of the class. There is a bug however in the SPItemEventReceiver class that always changes the Status...
WebDAV slow with “Automatically detect settings”
Just a short note to self. A lot of Microsoft applications use WebDAV.  If you encounter some very slow WebDAV performance, just disable the “Automatically detect settings” in IE. Tools –> Internet options –> Connections –> LAN Settings...
Microsoft Certified Master SharePoint 2010
Yesterday I've received the news that I've successfully completed all four exams that come with the MCM program. This actually makes me an MCM as of now which is still somewhat unreal to me. I've had to spent three weeks away from home strugling through...

Get Datepart in SharePoint Designer Workflow
Yesterday someone asked me how to get the datepart (f.e. the year of a date) inside a SharePoint designer workflow. I thought it would be some default action in the "Utility Actions" group, but I thought wrong. There is no such pretty common action. This post however shows a simple technique to get datepart Year, Month and Day....
Framed Office Web Apps SharePoint 2010
Unfortunately the X-Frame header, that is added by the Office Web Apps service, prevents Internet Explorer to render office documents in an I-Frame! To solve this we've create a very simple HttpModule that checks for the header and changes the value from "DENY" to "SAMEORIGIN". This post simply shows the code for such a module that enables previewing of documents with Office Web Apps inside an I-Frame....
Missing server reference in SharePoint 2010
Unfortunately the "missing server references" health rule in Central Admin Health Monitoring does not display the URL were these uninstalled web parts reside. So to get these pages you'll have to execute some SQL against the mentioned content database...
WorkflowAction and the Secure Store
I have been working on this custom workflow action which allows you to post data to another servicer. This can be used to send messages to a web service for example. One thing I really wanted to have in there is security. And with security I mean the Secure Store. It is however very difficult to use the Secure Store from inside a workflow action....
SharePoint 2010 BCS model deploy errors
Today I again faced an annoying SharePoint BCS deployment bug. I encountered it before in the beta but figured it would be solved in the release version so I forgot about it. Today it bit me in the rear again. As soon as you deploy a BCS solution from VS2010 and changed your model to much from the previous version you deployed, you get all sorts of errors. If you look closely to them, you'll notice they are caused by SharePoint trying to compile previous versions. If you however retract your solution and view Central Admin there are no models defined at all! Somehow these previous versions are stored somewhere we can't view or delete them! But I found out where they are! ...

SharePoint Calculated Field from string to number
Every now and then you run into unexpected SharePoint behavior. The Title field of an item is a 'single line of text' field. In my specific case however this Title field contained a file number . Not a problem at all, BUT you get a really strange sort...
