You can connect external data from almost any data sources directly to SharePoint lists (no web parts) simply in the list settings dialog using the SharePoint Business Data List Connector (BDLC) found here:

http://www.layer2.de/en/products/Pages/SharePoint-Business-Data-List-Connector.aspx

All list features are available, e.g. alerts and workflows to start business actions in SharePoint, if external data is changed.

Just download and evaluate for free.

Hello everyone,

I work for a medium-sized corporation in Silicon Valley in the automation
industry. We use Microsoft Dynamics GP as our accounting, sales, and supply
chain management software. This software has been adequate for our needs, but it
does have some shortcomings. One issue we have been struggling with is how to
manage inventory that is not held onsite at our factory. Has anyone else had any
experience with offsite inventory management and tracking and can offer any
tips, add-ons, or what not? Thanks sincerely.

Greg

Cat is finally peeking out of the hat!

SharePoint 2010 “sneak peek” is finally availablepublicly. Just finished watching the videos. Tom Rizzo gives a nice sneak peek overview:

Overview

1.        Ribbonsin browser with SharePoint. They are contextual, and can be changed. In-browser Editing everywhere, and heavy use of Wiki backbone is evident on UI/web-part pages! Silverlight web-part is now available, just link to Silverlight source.

2.        Rich theming support. Inherit themes from Office docs. Quickly change the look-and-feel of your site based on Office theme. Multiple browser support, including mobile experience!

3.        Visio Services: Introduction of Visio Services. Great browser experience for Visio docs, including dynamic updates for docs connected to external data.

4.        SharePoint Designer: Better UI, greater functionality! Enhancements to workflows, modelling and content-type management. Also now you can work with LoB Entities right in the client.

5.        Business Connectivity Services: (“evolution” of Business Data Catalog) Connect LoB apps, services and data to your UI and PS solutions. Great use case shown where you quickly build UI, for your data.

6.        Rich Media is seemingly everywhere with Silverlight, great Office client support, and for example quick video editing in PowerPoint. Much more to come on this one…

IT Professionals

1.        Central Administration: Cleaner UI, with Ribbon-based commands. Health Monitoring is now integrated experience. Don’t forget SP is now first class citizen of PowerShell!

2.        Best Practices Analyzer: Periodic analysis with integrated Best Practices Analyzer! Various rules available out of the box, but is extensible and new ones can be built. Issues identified can either be acted upon in UI, or can be self fixed by analyzer.

3.        Usage Reporting and Logging: Now there is a new Logging database (thank you) to log usage and health data. They promise that it will be fully documented for you to build your custom reports. Nice. You’ll have better object model to allow for custom logging in same database! I’m liking this…

4.        List Throttling: This one is great for large customers. Encourage best practices with messaging about large lists and thresholds, as they cap. I notice that cap on items in View is now ~5000, on a list that can potentially be having millions of items!!!

5.        Unattached content database recovery by temporarily mounting it to farm, and browsing the content. Forget your recovery farm.

6.        Visual Upgrade: Upgrade your farm/sites, yet retain look of SP 2007. At choice upgrade the site visually, and hence enabling (unlocking) remaining UI-dependent features with SP 2010 look. You can also do that temporarily. Well, for some farms, this is certainly a useful feature – especially when IT is ahead of the curve and users have adoption or business dependencies. I wonder how this will work with custom themes people have in SP 2007. Nevertheless, I like it much.

Developers

1.        Visual Studio 2010 with SharePoint. First class development experience is promised. I’ll be conservative on this one, until I get to play with! I like the approach with Visual Web-Part designer surface.

2.        LINQ to SharePoint. Strongly typed access to your data in SP is a great welcome with all its goodness.

3.        Developer Dashboard on SP: A small icon link to enable the dashboard, like in-page tracing with ASP.NET but with greater detail about behind-the-scene queries and objects, DB calls etc. You can even the actual SQL query or sProc call. Nice – I see ton of time being saved, and greater developer understanding building about the platform. Excellent transparency for all.

4.        Business Connectivity Services: Read/Write access is finally here. Virtually the same experience as for inherent Lists, as “External Lists” become integrated in UI and experience. Both SP 2010 and Office is promised to consume external data in rich ways, including support in SP Designer and Visual Studio. (Not to forget LINQ for external data!)

5.        Client-side Object Model: Not this is great, my imagination is running wild! Runs on users machine, client OM can be SP data on client-side via JavaScript, .NET, or through Silverlight! Loving it now!!!

SharePoint Team has confirmed launch of limited access Tech Preview, and also a public Beta is confirmed for later in the year. If you can make it, SharePoint Conference 2009 is the best place to be to learn all about SharePoint 2010. I hope SharePoint team is reading and let all die-hard evaluators have more than a sneak peek with Tech Preview! ;-)

Great Work, and its just scratching of the surface. Enjoy… more to come.

Thanks & Regards
Uzair Ali Shahid

·        The Visual Studio 2008 designer has been removed for Silverlight 3 applications.  A lot of developers turned it off anyway so all of the dev efforts have gone into the designer that’ll be available in Visual Studio 2010.  Expression Blend 3 can also be used of course.

·        The Silverlight ASP.NET server control isn’t used now.  It simply emitted the object and associated params tags anyway.

Expression Blend 3 has also been released (currently a release candidate) along with a new feature called SketchFlow.  SketchFlow allows application prototypes and mockups to be created more easily in order to get customer feedback…very cool if you haven’t seen it.  Although I rarely used Blend for coding previously, it now includes code intellisense which is a nice feature to have and adds support for behaviors, importing Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files and integrating sample data into applications.

Thanks & Regards

I have a mandatory field in my list, which must be entered while
creating a list item. At the time of edit, i don't want the users to
modify the mandatory field and so I am disabling the field at load
time in EditForm.aspx
The code looks something like this,
function runOnLoad(){

         // Disabling Case ID
         var CaseID = getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("INPUT","TextField","Case
ID");
         CaseID.disabled = true;

return true;

}

_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("runOnLoad");

The above code works and makes the "CaseID" field disabled during load
time. After editing other fields, when I click "Ok" to save, It
prompts me to enter some value for CaseID field, while the field is
disabled and I am not able to enter anything as well.

Initially when EditForm.aspx loaded, the CaseID field which was
disabled, had the value which i entered at the time of new item
creation, but it was greyed out. But after clicking "ok" , the value
in the field disapears and prompts me to enter some value for that
field.

Such issues comes only for a field if it is set to be mandatory and
doesn't arise if the field isn't mandatory to be populated.

Some one please help me out.

Regards

Vinod

I'm seeking some suggestions in regard to a problem I am trying to solve.

I have Visual Studio Team System 2005 for developers on my home system, and I
would like to have Team System 2005 for Testers on my system also.  However,
from what I remember you can't mix the two.

My objective is to be able to design Web tests to test the presentation logic in
a Web application.  I already have the ability to run unit tests using what I
have.

I would also like to be able to schedule these tests to run on a daily basis as
a regression test.

So, this is a combination of White Box and Black Box testing.

If there are any FREE add-ons that will meet my objective, that would be great.
