There are situations when we want to create empty site collection, like when your content deployment job is failing due to conflicting content. In these cases STSADM.EXE comes handy. STSADM.EXE is the only means to create a completely empty site collection. Syntax STSADM.EXE -o createsite -url -ownerlogin domain\user -owneremail Example STSADM.EXE -o createsite -url http://servername:9009/sites/EmptySiteCollectionName -ownerlogin mydomain\praveen -owneremail abc@xyz.com Remember, using the “Blank Site” template does NOT creates an completely empty site collection. The site collection created by “Blank Site” template create some content for default website. You can see the difference if you create a site collection using both methods and then inspect the content of the created sites using SharePoint designer.

In ASP.NET 2.0/3.5, you could disable ViewState for individual controls. However what you could not do is disable ViewState at a Page level and then enable it individually for controls on that page that require it. ASP.NET 4.0 changes that and gives more control to developers. ASP.NET 4.0 introduces the ViewStateMode property that lets you disable ViewState at a Parent level and then enable it for the child controls that require it. Let’s see this with an example. We will first create a page in ASP.NET 3.5 and disable ViewState on the Parent level and then observe the behavior of ViewState in child controls. We will then use the same example in ASP.NET 4.0 using the ViewStateMode property and observe the changes. ViewState in ASP.NET 2.0/3.5 Create an ASP.NET application. Place two Label controls and one Button control on the page. Now disable view state on the Page by setting the ‘EnableViewState’ property to false. On the first Label control, set ‘EnableViewState’ prope

MOSS 2007 can be installed as a Stand-alone Server application or as a Server farm or as a Web Front End. MOSS 2007 installs WSS v3.0 automatically. If you have only one server, you have no option but to install Stand-alone Type, this will install desktop database engine (SQL Server 2005 Express Edition) along. It will be an independent instance of SQL Server just for the SharePoint application. But this will result in very poor performance. And can only be used by a very small user group or just for learning purpose. If you have to use it in a relatively larger setup you must install SharePoint farm (atleast one Complete - Install all components Server Type) with database on a different dedicated database server. In this post I will show the steps for installing MOSS 2007 SharePoint farm: Prerequisites: Please read this before installing Beta 2 Step 1: Start the installation by clicking the Setup.exe in the x86/x64(for 64 bit machine), and the installation starts with the fol

example of creating a simple Task Dashboard. This is a pretty basic example of using all OOTB (out of the box) features and combining them to quickly build a solution. Scenario: We want to provide a way for users to easily see a summary of the current project tasks. We want them to be able to see the following information: Open Tasks Assigned to Them Overdue Tasks Tasks Due This Week Task Calendar Tasks Assigned to Others Solution: To build this solution we will be using several different tools available in SharePoint, all included in the list below: Task List Task List Views We will create views for each of the different ways we want to see the data displayed on our dashboard. Web Part Page List View Web Parts Custom Navigation The first thing we will do is create our task lists and then configure all the views that we need. To create the list, go to View All Site Content, Create and then select the Task list. Next, we will need to configure our custom views. To do this, w

We all know about the importance of goal in business. Business works on set goals, so it is very important to track where they are, matching the goal, ahead of goal or behind the goal. To answer this question, SharePoint has come up with feature called KPI (Key Performance Indicator). Key Performance Indicator as name suggests, it gives an idea about where we are performing related to goal. They are found in Report center site, so if you are in WSS working environment, do not think of using this feature because you are not going to get this. This is moss feature. So let’s get started and understand how it works. KPI is a special type of list, so while creating a list; we need to select this special list as KPI list, not a normal custom list. When you create a KPI list, then click new, you will see the difference. This is the difference. Here is a sample of creating KPI list and how the data is entered in it. So first we will create a normal list which will hold the data th
