Visit NYC

Hi (again),

from 27th - 30th November 2008 i visit New York. If you want to talk with me about all the MS MOSS or BizTalk Stuff... just let me know... i will see if we can organize a meeting... :-)

Some more MOSS adventures

hi,

long time ago after my last blogging... i had too much to fight with/against my loveley MOSS.. :-)
Here are some of my experiences in the last weeks/months:

1. Developing online market place for an intranet

I developed an online market place (release 1) where employees of a global company can buy or sell items.

I developed this cool tool as single webpart for sharepoint 2007. There is a filter, you cann add images to your announcement, you can edit your profile and of course your items...

The solution is a standalone solution, so the user of this market place are stored in another databse then the "normal" sharepoint users.

Cool design feature... This market place is also available (with the same code) for ASP.NET applications.

I use asp.net control loading and session state in this webpart. If you are interested in some screenshots or code... come back later... i will populate some features with screenshots and code in a few days... (without guarantee) :-)


Did you ever need to use the asp.net event handling in MOSS? No? You are are a lucky guy (or girl)... *g

2. Develop custom content webpart

I developed a custom webpart which uses the MOSS HTML editor and some custom properties. Now my customer is able to save different content in his own database and can decide which content he will show the users. Very nice...

so... what is next in my project plan... let's have a look:

... there will be some projects to use the BDC of MOSS and SAP or ACCESS... (yes... this little MS db office tool... and no... it's not dead... :-))
... some cool BizTalk R2 mappings and orchs to generate flatfiles and connect to SAP HR...
... and of course a lot of documentation... puhhh... i really will try to blog...
