I successfully installed SharePoint 2010 in my laptop. I was not a calk walk, had to really spend some time in trouble shooting some issues. Initially I had issue in finding the PID for the SharePoint 2010 beta. Later it struck in my mind and checked my live ID inbox and found that the PIDs have been mailed to me.
Another issue was with the pre requisite installations, it failed to install. Even after lot of binging also, not able to find the problem. Then I started installing those manually one by one. Then faced the error not able to create the configuration database while running the configuration wizard. So reinstalled the SQL 2008 express edition again. One main thing to be noted after these installation of prerequisite framework and KB hot fixes is to restart the machine.
One more issue which took lot of my time “Failed to create sample data”, quiet puzzled with these one since I have followed all the approaches mentioned in the forums and MVP blogs. Only one thing I had missed that running the below

I had done that manually by by selecting the features in the IIS 7, so it was not that much effective rather than running the above script in the command prompt.
If you are trying to install SharePoint 2010 in client OS, never ever miss a single step mention in the article, Setting up the Development Environment for SharePoint Server. My installation successfully with the below site running in Port 80.
Below are the topics covered in the training, which I attended this week. These are exactly the same which are available in the SharePoint 2010 training kit.
I’ll be leaving to Hyderabad tonight, to attend the SharePoint 2010 training conducted by Microsoft Partner. This has been arranged by my organisation unit. I had no clue till morning, that I’ll be attending this training. I’m totally not aware of level of in-depth of coverage. Will be posting about that soon after I come back on Thursday.
Until then, bye bloggy !!
There was query raised in TechNet forums regarding loading the Web Service content in Web part.
I posted below answer for that
Add a Content Editor Web Part and add the below snippet in the source editor.
You have to work on the processResult function for desired presentation of the fetched stock information.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var soapEnv =
"<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'> \
<soapenv:Body> \
<GetQuote xmlns='http://www.webserviceX.NET/'> \
<symbol>MSFT</symbol> \
</GetQuote> \
</soapenv:Body> \
</soapenv:Envelope>";
$.ajax({
url: "http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx",
type: "POST",
dataType: "xml",
data: soapEnv,
complete: processResult,
contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\""
});
});
function processResult(xData, status) {
var liHtml =$(xData.responseXML.text);
$("#stockUL").append(liHtml);
}
</script>
<ul id="stockUL"/>
Property bag is a feature available in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. Its nothing but a hash table of Key-Value pairs. It allows to add properties to objects in a SharePoint site.
Why to Use SharePoint Property Bag
The Property Bag hash table for a site can store any metadata as Key-Value pairs such as connection strings, server names, file paths, and other settings needed by your SharePoint application. Most of the time we will store the above settings in configuration file, which is common to the entire web application. If there is any setting specific each and individual sites in the web application, then we have maintain that many entries in the config file. To over come the above scenario we can use the SharePoint Property Bag.
There is no specific out of box user interface available to set or to read the property bag settings. In WSS 3.0 property bag values has to set/get using the object model. There is an option available in SharePoint designer to set/get the property bag settings. Go to Site -> Site Settings. click on the Parameters tab. On this tab, you will be able to manipulate of all of your custom property bag values.
How to Use
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
try
{
using (SPSite RootSite = new SPSite(URL))
{
using (SPWeb SiteCollection = RootSite.OpenWeb())
{
try
{
SiteCollection.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
// Get connection string from Property bag
if (SiteCollection.AllProperties.ContainsKey("ConnectionString"))
{
ConnectionString = SiteCollection.AllProperties["ConnectionString"].ToString();
}
// Set siteID in the Property bag
SiteCollection.Properties["siteID"] = siteID;
SiteCollection.Properties.Update();
SiteCollection.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//Handle Exception
}
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}
});
I was working with Advance search and wondering that Created By is not yielding any search results. After searching I found this information from one blog site.
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/19021
Its also advised to use “Author” property instead of “Created By”.
Some one posted saying that its solved in SP2, and in some blog sites its mentioned mapping against office(4), I have not tried these approaches. I’ll update once its solved.
Update:
It work like charm, just update the “Created By” property with the Office(4) mapping, and don’t forget to do at least an incremental crawl.
Preliminary documentation for SharePoint Foundation (SharePoint 2010) is available in MSDN.

I faced a situation where I need to remove the Send To menu item from the ECB menu. I binged (Search using Bing) and found lot of blog post to remove the items from the ECB. Most of them are suggesting to have a copy of Core.js and remove the menu items in the new version of renamed core.js file. Refer the new copied version of core.js in the master page.
I found another way of doing this by adding the below line of script to a content editor web part in the item list page or in master page.
function AddSendSubMenu(m,ctx){ return false;}
Step 1 Create a Column in the listGoto the list settings and create column.
Name the column as "Sticky", and choose as
checkbox (Yes/No). We are going to give the option to the owner of the post,
while creating the post whether it should be set as sticky or not.
Step 2 Create a View for Sticky posts
Goto the settings page and create the view and name its as "Sticky", set is as
public view
Another important thing in the Sticky view is changing the sort columns. First
sort coumn should be "Sticky", that is the intention of having the sticky posts.
Sticky posts should be always shown on the top and then followed by the Last
updated posts. So set the "Then sort by column" to Last Updated column. as indicated below.
Step 3 Selecting the Sticky view
Whereever we are showing the discussion board, that is the List View webpart.
Click on modify share webpart menu and change the selected view to "Sticky"
which we created in Step 2.
Now we have the Discussion board ready with the Sticky option.
All the posts which are marked as sticky will be shown on top always.
Issue : We have a portal on MOSS 2007. Documents are standard office document types to pdf etc. I have a very unique situation during a search. Find attached ppts. One is pptx, and other ppt ( 97- 2003) , content wise both are same. When searching for “Case study I” it lists both ppt’s, but when searching for autoparts (this autoparts is content within a textboxin the ppt , slide 2), it lists only pptx. I cant figure out the reason for this behavior, any suggestions.
In fact, any keyword provided from the content in slide 2 does not bring the 97-2003 format of ppt
