In case you missed it (like I did). The SP3 for SQL Server 2005 has been released. You can download it directly from Microsoft.
If you are running an Express version, you have to download an updated SQL Server 2005 Express from here.
Deleting a large amount of items in SharePoint can take some time. There are several ways on how to delete items:
Deleting items using the SharePoint Webservices
You should not use the Items property of a SPList multiple time. Instead create a variable, which stores list.Items and use it instead.
Deleting items using the SharePoint Webservices
Lookup fields are great. They can show information from other lists. I have never noticed before, that the only two supported field types for lookups are SPFieldText and SPFieldCalculated.
All other field types can not be used as source for lookup fields.
A while ago Microsoft released some filter Webparts on MSDN.
SharePoint Filter Webparts including:
– BDC MultiFilter: Similar to the BDC Data Item Builder web part provided with MOSS 2007 Enterprise Edition, except it provides up to 4 additional filter connections containing BDC entity attributes to allow display of more entity-related data
– ShowFilter: Diagnostic display of any filter connected
– ShowFilterMap: Displays a Virtual Earth map when passed a filter containing a street address
– ShowFilterSearch: Displays MOSS search results when passed a filter connection containing a search query
You can find a Webpart for displaying data from SharePoint lists as Charts on CodePlex.
The feature list:
Die SharePoint Konferenz 2009 findet am 11. und 12. Februar in München statt.
Auf der Konferenz werde ich einen Vortrag “Best Practices in der Webpart-Entwicklung” halten.
Voraussichtlich werde ich die folgenden Themen behandeln:
· Fallen umgehen und Probleme vermeiden
· Logging in das SharePoint Log
· Webparts mit eigenen ToolParts
· Nutzung “ToHtml” Funktionen
· Berechtigungsprüfung
· Code Ausführung mit erweiterten Berechtigungen
· SharePoint Webcontrols
· SPContext – wo bin ich

This Webpart will show Sitecollections from the current Webapplication or Subwebs from the current web.
In the Webpart properties you can choose what the Webpart will show.
It uses the Logo URL of websites, if they are specified. The description of the website will show up as tooltip.
I am using the RepeatedControls class to build the items. This class really makes it easy to add entries by moving the layout functionality into an own class.
If you want to create a tooltip to show additional information, you can use the SharePoint functionality to do so. E.g. on a list of websites you could show the website’s description, if the user moves the mouse over the element.
The JavaScript which will show the “Open Menu” text is “MMU_PopMenuIfShowing(this);”. It is referenced on all SharePoint sites through the call to Init.js in the header.
CompleteSharePoint.Net will bring new features to your WSS V3 installation. Some new features are:
The project is also available on http://www.codeplex.com/completesharepoint.
Microsoft has released many updates for Office 2007.
SharePoint relevant updates:
The Report Build 2.0 has been released. You can download it here. The Report View Webpart is not part of the download. Read this thread.
Reza Alirezaei has posted about installing and configuring the Reporting Services.
Imagine you have a list (or document library) which has lots of items. Nothing fancy here. Now add a lookup or user field and allow it to contain multiple values.
Inside a view for this list you can filter e.g. for the title column. The filter dropdown shows all possible values for the column. 
Here comes the clue. If the item count of the list reaches a number somewhere between 400 and 500 items, the filter dropdown changes. You will get an option to show all filter values. This is for performance reasons.
