AJAX Control Toolkit Vs JQuery

pritesh.b.gandhi@gmail.com (Pritesh Gandhi) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 05:44:00 +0000

The Ajax Control Toolkit

Over 100,000 developers download the Ajax Control Toolkit every month. That’s a mind-boggling number of downloads. We realize that the Ajax Control Toolkit is extremely popular among ASP.NET Web Forms developers and we want to continue to invest in the Ajax Control Toolkit.

If you are adding JavaScript interactivity to an ASP.NET Web Forms application, and you don’t want to write JavaScript, then we recommend that you use the server controls in the Ajax Control Toolkit. Using the Ajax Control Toolkit does not require knowledge of JavaScript and the toolkit enables you to build applications with the concepts familiar to ASP.NET Web Forms applications developers.

If, however, you are interested in creating client-side interactivity without server controls then we recommend that you use jQuery.

We plan to continue to release new versions of the Ajax Control Toolkit every few months. Our goal is to continue to improve the quality of the Ajax Control Toolkit and to make it easier for the community to contribute code, bug fixes, and documentation.
The ASP.NET Ajax Library

We are moving the ASP.NET Ajax Library into the Ajax Control Toolkit. If you currently use ASP.NET Ajax Library client templates, client data-binding, or the client script loader then you can continue to use these features by downloading the Ajax Control Toolkit.

Be aware that our focus with the Ajax Control Toolkit is server-side Ajax. For client-side Ajax, we are shifting our focus to jQuery. For example, if you have been using ASP.NET Ajax Library client templates then we recommend that you shift to using jQuery instead.
Conclusion

Our plan is to focus on jQuery as the primary technology for building client-side Ajax applications moving forward. We want to adapt Microsoft technologies to work great with jQuery and we want to contribute features to jQuery that will make the web better for everyone. We are very excited to be working with the jQuery core team.

Sometime it is possible that if you are installing Sharepoint Product & Technologies Configuration Wizard it failure on some step.Generally it is failure on step 7 and 8 .So your application is not working properly because configuration part is not successfully completed.

For above problem below solution is applicable.

Go To

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN>

Run Command: psconfig -cmd -upgrade -inplace –b2b –wait -force

So this command start your moss 20007 Configuration wizard forcefully.

Sometimes Site Locked What is Reason ?

pritesh.b.gandhi@gmail.com (Pritesh Gandhi) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 06:46:00 +0000

Very Good Morning ,

Sometime it is possible that your site locked so you are not able to to Administrator function .Only you have read only permission in site ....

So What is reason behind this ?

If you are install Moss 2007 SP2 then Microsoft introduce new feature Site Locking ... So before your backup start , it lock site first and then do the backup , then unlock site again .

But sometime if problem in backup and then it remain in lock stage ( Read oNly Mode )

So Unlock Site Go To Central Administration --- > Application Management --- > Site Collection Quotas and Locks ---- > Select Site Collection ---> Select Not Locked Radio Button

SharePoint 2010: Free End User Training

pritesh.b.gandhi@gmail.com (Pritesh Gandhi) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 13:54:00 +0000

We have created 50 end-user/site admin training videos for SharePoint 2010, which I am happy to be able to share with you. The training is completely free, and configured into a 9-module course at:

http://www.point8020.com/SharePointEndUserTraining.aspx

Each video is focused on one specific task in SharePoint 2010, so they are easily digested. The course is also displayed in the latest version of our Silverlight course-viewer, so the user-experience is engaging.

Feel free link to this free training in your blogs, or otherwise spread the word to anyone who you think might be interested.

Just FYI, we plan to extend this by RTM to include approximately 250 end-user videos, effectively covering every single task an end-user or site admin performs in SharePoint 2010.

New Year Wall for 2010 using jQuery

pritesh.b.gandhi@gmail.com (Pritesh Gandhi) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 12:25:00 +0000

Happy New Year and Merry X'Mas

Idea Behind wall is user writes their message and display their message on bricks.

So on mouse over other users show their greeting messages.

If user want to write message then Click on empty bricks and It shows popup and

asking enter the Message of New Year and once greeting enter bricks occupied with

name and message of user.

Advantages :

-- N Number of walls created ...

-- User view Message from Click next and Previous

-- Combination of jQuery , SharePoint and Asp.net Calendar Control

Great Idea to represent Greetings ..... Great Implementation ..... Great GUI .... Finally Year Rock

Screen 1 : Wall Display All Greetings of Users

Screen 2 : View Greeting Message in Details ( using jQuery)

Screen 3 : Empty Brick user can enter New Year Message

I HAVE REALIZED THAT

YOU can't have happiness

Unless you are already Happy

A declarative workflow does not start automatically after you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1

pritesh.b.gandhi@gmail.com (Pritesh Gandhi) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 10:19:00 +0000

SYMPTOMS

After you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1), a declarative workflow does not start automatically in the following products:

* Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

* Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

* Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007

For example, if you configure a declarative workflow to start when a new item is created or when a new item is changed, the declarative workflow does not start as expected. The Unified Logging Service (ULS) log files contain no information about why this behavior occurs.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because a security fix in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 prevents declarative workflows from starting automatically under the system account. After you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1, declarative workflows do not start automatically if the following conditions are true:

* The Windows SharePoint Services Web application runs under a user's domain account.

* The user logs in by using this domain account.

* The site displays the user name as System Account.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, set the application pool account to use a different user account. You may want to create a new user account specifically for this purpose.

To set the application pool account to use a different user account, follow these steps:

1. On the server that is running one of the products that is listed in the "Applies to" section, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office Server, and then click SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration.

2. Click the Operations tab.

3. Under Security Configuration, click Service Accounts.

4. Click Web application pool, and then click Windows SharePoint Services Web Application in the Web service box.

5. In the Application pool box, click the application pool that you want to change.

6. Under Select an account for this component, click Configurable, and then type the user name and the password for the different user account.

pritesh.b.gandhi@gmail.com (Pritesh Gandhi) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:52:00 +0000

After Installation of Moss SP2 Site Collection Display Message "Access Denied"

If you are installed Moss 2007 SP2 on your server then It may possible some site collection Admin part display message "Access Denied"

Even if you are try to Access site collection with Site Administator Priviledge then also it display message Access Denied.I don't know what is reason behind this but this problem occured after installation of Moss SP2 .

Solution of this problem is you have to modify setting of Site Collection locks through Central Admin.

Steps How to Unlock Site Collection :

Step 1 : Go to Central Admin

Step 2 : Click On Application Management

Step 3 : Click Site Collection quotes and locks

Step 4 : Select Site Collection and Check Not Locked Radio Button.

Step 5 : Smile

Multi-Value Cascading Parameters Don't Update Correctly in Sharepoint Integrated Reporting Services

pritesh.b.gandhi@gmail.com (Pritesh Gandhi) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:06:00 +0000

Problem :
Multi-Value Cascading Parameters Don't Update Correctly in Sharepoint Integrated Reporting Services

Description :
We have Reporting Services running in Sharepoint Integrated mode. We have a report which uses cascading parameters, as follows:

Parameter 1: a multi-value drop down
Parameter 2: a multi-value drop down which is dependent on the choices in Parameter 1.

When you chose a value for Parameter 1, the page reloads, but the drop down list for Parameter 2 does not update.

A crude workaround is to get the user to click "Apply" which causes the report to be generated based on the (possibly invalid) values selected for Parameter 2. This then causes Parameter 2 to be updated based on the choices of Parameter 1.

With serveral cascading parameters this results in a fairly nasty user experience, but it does at least work.

Solution :
This Problem is resolved in update 3 of SQL Server 2005 SP2 [Check this: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=281612].

As of my knowledge we are on 9.00.3042 build. This is SQL Server 2005 SP2.
This cumulative update would take us to 9.00.3186 [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939537].

I suggest you to install the latest service pack of RS2005. This is SP3: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ae7387c3-348c-4faa-8ae5-949fdfbe59c4&displaylang=en [Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3]
