I have a Data View Web Part in Sharepoint that is being fed from an RSS Feed. I have the Data Source configured properly to read the RSS Feed and I have added serveral runtime parameters. My question is, how do I supply these values at runtime? For example, one of the parameters is startDate and this should be populated with the current date.
Hi All,
I have a sharepoint site. This site large nubmer of site and sub site sollection in it. There are few that are created and are not in use. Now my questuion is how can I findout these old sites and before going deleting I have to first archive it.
Can any one tell me what is the best possible approach to do it?
Does anyone know of any tools for extending the functionality of Sharepoint's existing version control system for Office documents? It'd be great to be able to do branching/merging, or to store versions as "deltas" off the previous to cut down on storage used.
Any suggestions at all would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
After creating a new list in SharePoint, I can add other types of fields, but not lookup fields or person or group fields.
When creating a new column... as soon as I change the column type radio to one of these two types of fields, I get a 403 forbidden error.
Any ideas why that might be happening? Is it a setting in Central Administration or something?
When I click on the Workflows from the Edit menu, it automatically displays “Value does not fall within the expected range” without me even starting a workflow.
All workflows were created from SharePoint Designer.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks.

It works fine in ASP.NET, but gives a blank page in SharePoint.
How would I programatically access a SharePoint document library from another machine? I want to recursively scan all the folders and generate a list of files with a certain custom property.
Does anyone know where I can get documentation on "Lists Web Service" for SharePoint. I tried this link, but it seems that every child link goes to a random page.

How do you figure out the current size of the sharepoint web application? Better yet, the size of a site collection or a subsite.
I am planning to move a site collection from one farm to another. I need to plan the storage capacity first.

Hi all
I want to develop a custom lookup field for sharepoint.
I created a class as the following
public class CustomLookupControl:BaseFieldControl
and overided this method
protected override string DefaultTemplateName
{
get
{
return base.DefaultTemplateName;
}
}
but when I edit an item I find that the place of the field is empty.
my question is that I don't want to implement a custom rendering template for the field, I want to use the default template of the lookup field
how can this be achieved.
