Hi SharePoint friends , I hope you all enjoyed my last post on “ Authentication & Authorization ”. In this post I will discuss about the features that have been removed in SharePoint 2013 which was available on SharePoint 2010. Visual Upgrade: You could use this feature to upgrade from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 to give Site Collection Owner and Site Owner to preserve the existing user interface temporarily while still upgrading the infrastructure, content databases, site collections and features to the latest version. Now this feature is replaced with “ Deferred Site Collection” upgrade which is considered as more comprehensive upgrade process than visual upgrade. Visual Upgrade preserved only the master pages, CSS files and the HTML files but the Deferred Site Collection upgrade with preserve much more including SPFeature functionality. With the deferred site collection upgrade you can use the UI feature from the previous version more seamlessly than with the visual ...

Hi SharePoint Friends,   I would like to discuss some cool stuffs for developing custom “Tool Parts” for SharePoint 2010 Visual web part. “Tool Part” is nothing but the set of controls that are required for your web part which works based on the tool part properties. It will be available as a new section in the web part properties area. There are two ways for developing a Visual Web part with custom tool part 1. Designing the entire tool part using the server side code. 2. Designing the tool part using user controls In this part, I will drive you thru O ption 1 . R u ready, lets get started.

Hi guys,             It’s been a while blogging about SharePoint. Have anyone experienced the difficulties in uploading files apart from the characters mentioned in SharePoint. I have experienced the unique thing that when I tried to migrate the documents from Humming Bird to MOSS 2007. SharePoint does not allow consecutive dots in the filename. “..” is not allowed in MOSS 2007, but “. .” is allowed and that’s something weird. One more thing I would like to share is if anyone trying to upload the documents via object model, it’s better to remove the space at the end of the file name. SharePoint allows us to upload the file with the spaces at the end. But after uploading the files, if any user has changed the metadata or something related to that file SharePoint automatically removes the trailing spaces at the end. If there are any custom properties defined in the file then SharePoint will not allow us to upload the file. It will thro...

         Hi SharePoint friends and viewers, In this post I would like to bring some of the videos by MICROSOFT for SharePoint 2010 out-of-box features.
