Here's a little nugget I came across, on SharePoint 2010 and 2013 (including O365), and was exceptionally frustrated with. There's a difference between IsDlg and isdlg. See it? Case sensitivity. Come to find out that means the world to SharePoint. I was tasked to setup a basic Page Viewer web part to consume a page... Continue Reading →
Big thanks to Chris Barbin on pointing me in the right direction for this one! Including a lookup in your project can be tricky, and I find that most developers revert to doing it programmatically instead of declaratively. It's easier to copy and paste some C# code than chase down issues around CAML. It can be... Continue Reading →
Previously, I shared about how to create a color coded calendar, and then taking that calendar a little further and jazzing it up with some color.

I decided to hurry up and do it thanks to a question on MSDN forums. Special thanks to Stefan Bauer for the starting of some great code! I've... Continue Reading →

Now I want to give back. When you post to the forums at sharepoint.stackexchange.com, I'm committed to helping out whenever I... Continue Reading →
A nice new feature in SharePoint 2010 is the ability to roll up multiple calendars into one, and color code them. In previous versions of SharePoint, this was something that was only doable with third-party products or some serious jQuery. Consider the following scenario. The sales department of Contoso has a single calendar they use... Continue Reading →
