But before I start, I’d like to make a few things clear: 1. There is no definite checklist for deploying SharePoint for the Internet. Every [...]

SharePoint 2010 has a special hidden feature that ensures anonymous users with read access cannot view list and library form pages (i.e. “Forms/AllItems.aspx”).

Although Microsoft really helped us a lot by providing seriously improved integration with Visual Studio 2010, building, packaging, deploying and debugging can still be annoyingly slow. Here are a couple of things you could do to speed things up [...]

I always wanted to do a series about easy to build, real life customer requests for SharePoint modifications. And as with most ideas, never really found the time to do it. Well, now’s as good a time as any! Other parts: Part 1, the Validating Email Field. So here is part 2, the custom Content [...]

So you created a nice Sandbox SharePoint solution and need to deploy it. You entered the correct Site URL and hit deploy. Unfortunately the output shows  a failed deployment step: Couple of deployment errors Visual Studio might throw at you at this stage: Error occurred in deployment step ‘Activate Features’: Cannot start service SPUserCodeV4 on [...]

Microsoft SharePoint (Foundation) 2010 introduced the concept of running sandboxed code.
