SharePoint Governance: Do I post or email? Attach or Check In?

By: Kristin Ruth Posted: January 2, 2009 at 2:45 PM

I think of this because when rolling out SharePoint for your Company Intranet it becomes increasingly more valuable to step back and look at the various documentation and communication tools. Some that can be considered: · Microsoft Suite o Windows Explorer – Files Shares o Excel, Word, Access, Visio, Project o Outlook · Documents o Attachments o PDFs o Images o Video · Communications o Meetings o 1:1s o Training Classes o Conf ...

SharePoint Governance: You want to do what? Under our IT Roof?

By: Kristin Ruth Posted: January 2, 2009 at 2:40 PM

You know how you felt when you were a teenager and you may have heard at least once but probably several times not under our house.

In this blog I will show you how to manipulate SharePoint objects with LINQ. In my personal opinion, LINQ makes code less verbose, hence makes code easier to read and understand. LINQ also makes SharePoint application development fun. LINQ is general to Microsoft.NET framework and neither LINQ nor SharePoint are dependent on each other. Obviously SharePoint can be used without LINQ and similarly LINQ can be used outside of SharePoint with other .NET applications, but if you decide to use LINQ in ... [more]
