SharePoint és a WebCMS

zsolt.batorfi — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:49:00 GMT

A Sharepoint eddig nem arról volt ismert, hogy internetes oldalakat szolgáljunk ki vele, köszönhetően egyebek melett annak, hogy hiányzott belőle a teljeskörű a Web Content Management funkcionalitás, az a képesség, melynek segítségével egy központilag meghatározott tartalomleíró rendszer segítségével, folyamatvezérelten és jól struktúráltan tehetünk közzé nagy mennyiségű elektronikus információt.

Jó hír, hogy ez már csak a múlt, s hogy mennyire az remélhetőleg kiderül az alábbi videóból, melyet a Grepton fejlesztőivel készítettünk egy sikeres nagyvállalati bevezetés kapcsán.

A beszélgetésben a következőkről esett szó:

Sharepoint történelem
Mit értünk WebCMS funkcioanlitás alatt?
Mikor érdemes Sharepoint-ot használni ASP.NET helyett?
Hogy áll fel egy fejlesztő csapat?
Milyen egy tipikus bevezetési forgatókönyv?

Creating a custom SharePoint webpart for CRM

girishr — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:23:00 GMT

In this screencast, we write a simple SharePoint webpart that pulls data from the CRM 4.0 VPC.

Check out http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/benriga/The-Dynamics-Duo-talk-about-Dynamics-CRM-and-SharePoint/ to take a look at a cool dashboard you can build with custom connected webparts.

You can download the code for this screencast here. Check out http://blogs.msdn.com/girishr/ for more code samples and related screencasts.

The Dynamics Duo talk about Dynamics CRM and SharePoint

benriga — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:46:00 GMT

In this segment Girish and I talk about how Dynamics CRM integrates with SharePoint. We begin with a little guidance for where you might use one over the other and where they work well together. And they sure do go well together. “Separated at birth” is how I put it in the video. :) Girish’s demo shows a custom SharePoint page. Not many people know that SharePoint can be stylized using CSS to build sites that look nothing like plain vanilla SharePoint. This is a pretty good example of that.

We use a SharePoint List Web Part to pull data from CRM to show a list of CRM users and the hours from their time sheets. This was pulled directly from CRM using web services. We also show how could use that data to display a dashboard style gauge using Dundas Gauge for SharePoint. You can pull CRM data directly into SharePoint to build a dashboard. You can then pull that dashboard into the CRM web client (minus the SharePoint chrome). By pulling it into the web client it automatically shows up in the Outlook client. Speaking of Outlook; in the last segment we talked about customization but didn’t show the Outlook client so Girish gives us a quick tour of how that works also.

Each of the forms in CRM are URL-addressable. Girish puts that to good use in showing how you can pop a CRM form directly from within SharePoint. He also shows how CRM lights up automatically when you have Office Communicator installed leaving room for some interesting Unified Communication scenarios. We should probably do an episode on UC soon.

The segment wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t show some code. Girish built the list part using the Visual Studio Web Part project template. The code to pull in the time sheets into a list web part is about 10 lines of C#. The hardest part was doing the authentication. CRM provides a plug-able authentication mechanism and 3 different auth options out of the box. On-premise deployments will likely use Active Directory, while CRM Online uses Windows Live ID and finally if you’re deploying in a partner-hosted mode you’ll use form-based authentication. Girish shows how as an ISV you can build your application once and take all of those options into account. After that the code you write is portable across all the deployment options.

Building your own MemberShipProvider in ASP.NET 2.0 and use it in SharePoint

BomBom — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:14:00 GMT

The last screencast (I think) from me about Authentication in SharePoint.
In this screencast I build a MemberShipProvider that is checking the users against an XML file instead of a SQL database ("using virtually no code at all").
I build it in ASP.NET 2.0, use it that site and then show you how easy it is to move it over to SharePoint.

This webcast builds on the previous ones, Forms Authentication with SharePoint (in English) and Authentication Provider .Net 2.0 Out Of The Box.

Yeah, I know the code speaks for itself, but this time I made it in english anyway.

Enjoy!

ARCast.TV - Sundar Swaminathan on MOSS for Public Facing Web Sites

bobfamiliar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:50:00 GMT

SharePoint Server has long been viewed as an "intranet-in-the-box" and has enjoyed great success behind corporate firewalls. But what about using MOSS to build public-facing, high volume commercial web sites? In this episode, Denny Boynton sits down with Sundar Swaminathan of Quilogy, the lead architect of Energizer.com (yes, the site with the bunny that goes on and on and on...), and talks about why he chose to use MOSS as the architectural foundation of this high visible site.

The Silverlight Blueprint for Sharepoint - a new S+S Blueprint

Michael Lehman — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:53:00 GMT

Important note: The new Microsoft Blueprints Manager is replacing the S+S Blueprints Manager and will be available Friday, October 31st. Many of the existing S+S Blueprints will be upgraded to use the new version in the near future.

At the Sharepoint Conference 2008 and CeBit earlier this week we announced the Silverlight Blueprint for Sharepoint which allows building rich user experience Silverlight 2 applications (written in XAML+C# or XAML+VB.NET) which can interact with Sharepoint back-end data services such as lists, documents, contacts, and pictures.

In this video Michael Lehman talks with Rob Barker the Technical Evangelist who has been driving this cool functionality and see some cool demos of what you can do with this code!

Using Active Directory Searching/Lookup in a SharePoint/MOSS 2007 Workflow (with Visual Studio 2008)

Robert Shelton — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:08:47 GMT

This is the eighth in a series (the series is listed at the bottom) of "How To " Videos that I have created to show .NET Developers how to build document workflow in a SharePoint environment.

In the How to Videos that I produced on "Building Approval Workflow's" and "Escalating Workflow's (for overdue tasks), I kept things simple (focusing on the Workflow) and did not do dynamic lookups of people/users against Active Directory (AD), choosing to "hard code" the users in the workflow.

In this example, I take one of those workflow's (Basic Approval Workflow) and show you how you can do a "Dynamic Lookup or Search" of Active Directory for information (The Manager of a user) using .NET Code (System.DirectoryServices).

Building an Multilevel Approval Workflow with SharePoint/MOSS 2007 and Visual Studio 2008

Robert Shelton — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 03:15:30 GMT

This is the seventh of a series (the series is listed at the bottom) of "How To " Videos that I have created to show .NET Developers how to build document workflow in a SharePoint environment.

In this scenario, I take the workflow that I built in the How To Video on Building a Basic Approval Workflow (found here) by adding a second level (and you could extend it to multiple levels) of Approval based on a SharePoint Custom Column (Expense Report Total in this case). Although I built the "trigger" on the Expense Total column, you can build it on any number of other factors within the document, SharePoint Columns, or workflow activities.

Building an Approval Workflow with SharePoint/MOSS 2007 and Visual Studio 2008

Robert Shelton — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 23:56:20 GMT

This is the sixth of a series of "How To " Videos that I have created to show .NET Developers how to build document workflow in a SharePoint environment.

In this scenario, I show you how to build a Simple 1 level Approval Workflow around a fictional Expense Report. In the video I focus on the Workflow piece, although I show that I am using a Custom ASP.NET Task Form and a Custom SharePoint Feature.

If you want to learn how to build a Multilevel Approval Workflow, then start with this video and then view the "How to video: for a Multilevel Approval Workflow (Click here)". The Multilevel Approval Video is based on extending the Basic Approval Workflow (this video).
