Changing WebPart properties
Some things are just not obvious, or maybe I am just getting spoiled. Well, I just spent a couple of hours trying to figure out why Sharepoint didn't bother to persist my changed WebPart Title property through postbacks. First I thought this was due to my UserControl approach, and was caused by the ASP.NET UserControl beeing routed around Sharepoints ISAPI stuff.

Delivering presentation over Web Services with WSRP
I recently was asked to talk about the possibilities of implementing a WSRP consumer on the .NET platform. And suprisingly, it has very little to do with Web Services Routing Protocol.

New GotDotNet sample posted..
I've just released a new version of my DataPanel on GotDotNet. Anyone who have ever made a ASP.NET dataentry web form with a lot of textboxes for editing data in a lot of columns know it's a tiresome task. You have to set all the Text properties on load with the column values, and put updated values back on update. Try doing this in 20 fields in 10 dataentry forms.

Sharepoint Site Templates with MySite
Altering the template for Sharepoint MySite (SPSMSITE) is not like altering other templates, at first glance ONET.XML seems to have no effect. You have to use FrontPage for this. I've updated my article with instructions and a possible explanation.

Working with Sharepoint Area Templates
My last post got too big so I cut it and a small article was the result. I've been working with Area templates the past days and I am sure there are lots left to learn. However, there are no really good resources for this (except a couple of unclear ones on msd2d.com), so I hope it might come in useful for someone.

Difference between Sharepoint News & Listing?
I have embarked on the quest of figuring out all the namespoofing in Sharepoint Portal Server 2003. Microsoft should really have released the document "Developers.. This is what all that Sharepoint stuff it REALLY is".

Sharepoint Goodies
New Sharepoint stuff seems to popping up (for me) all the time these days. You might have seen them before but just in case. Here's the last hours results:

Internal UDDI Implementations
I am currently working on something on Service Oriented Architectures. Don't know quite what yet, might become an article, might become code. I had a chat with Clemens the other day in relation to this subject and he showed some enthusiasm for the use of UDDI internally. I have for a while been looking for "the missing link" to put all this talk about use of schema, contracts and messaging juiced with dynamic discovery etc.
A quick browse on MSDN recovered these two articles that I am currently digesting. I feel something is definately coming along in my head on the subject and frankly I can't wait until the idea materializes in code!
