Recently I have been customising MOSS search results pages using XSLT and am quite pleased with the results ;-). However, one requirement from our customer was to break up the document url into it's component parts and provide links to site and library and folder separately. In essence this is quite easy to do using Javascript splits and slices ...

Well the underlying issue of my previous post was the fact that, when creating a calculated custom field referring to the system field ''Modified'' as part of the calculation in a document library, the value would change to 01/01/1899 when a document was modified.  This was very annoying so I attempted to find workarounds, although to no ...

In my previous post I went by gut feel on timings, I have now been able to do some proper testing and timings using a demo form which are as follows....Times to change view via C# code : 175 Rows -IE : 29 secondsFF : 9 secondsIP Client : 1 second 50 RowsIE : 5 secondsFF : 1.5 secondsIP Client : < 1 secondThis problem only occurs when there ...

I have recently started work on handling some of the events that can happen on a form library. One of these is the ItemDeleting event. This occurs during the delete process for an item. As the deletion of an object is part of a business process we had to copy the item to a Deleted library. This I did using properties.ListItem.File.CopyTo which ...

Well it would seem that there is a little issue of compatibility between forms created under beta2 TR and the RTM release. This is fixable but requires a little bit of effort for the forms where this problem occurs, by no means will it be all forms....You will also only have the problem if you are creating a browser compatible form. Now if you ...

Why Oh Why Oh Why.....does InfoPath produce this error and never tell you what field had this problem, I cannot fathom out what on earth the problem is......   argh!   Added 3rd Oct..... Well, it went away after I deleted my form and assembly completely from the MOSS server including all the 100s of copies of my assembly which were ...

If you ever receive the error ''Multiple section types are not supported'' from either InfoPath Design Checker or when you try to upload your template to MOSS then you will probably find that you get very cross with InfoPath, at least I did!!   Anyway, firstly it seemed to be that InfoPath suddenly decided that Forms Services no longer ...

It would seem that the bug that I found in Beta2 is still there in the tech refresh.   Details of bug : Can still add child repeating lines even when the child repeating table has been disabled, but only in the web browser (InfoPath Forms Services); it works correctly within the InfoPath full client.

Well, first up InfoPath has clearly not really been changed much apart from the obvious Icon change! My most important hoped for (& prayed for) fix is that I would be able to access the new & old values of a field during the validating event, however this is not fixed! I am really not happy about this, have they done anything to infopath ...

Today I have started to try to add validation to my form, the requirement here is for the validation to be performed by Biztalk Orchestrations, therefore I need to communicate with Biztalk via a URL. The problem with this is that the InfoPath client (VSTA) does not allow you to sign the code with a certificate and therefore you cannot use an ...
