Each front end Web Server in a Windows SharePoint Server solution contains at least one Webtemp.xml file that is by default located in the c: Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedweb server extensions60TEMPLATE1033XML folder. This file is used to store the site definitions that are available within the Template Selection page used for site creation as shown below in Figure 1. In this example I will create a new Site Definition for the Engineering team that is based on the existing Team Site definition. More… 11:27:53 PM

If you haven’t had a chance to check out SQL Reporting Services, I would highly recommend it. The product is actually pretty amazing. I had the opportunity today to present an overview of for some customers and as promised, I have posted the slides here for download. Also, for your reading pleasure, is the PDF format of my recent article that appeared in the .NET Developers Journal (INETA choice edition) download. 9:34:35 PM

I was visiting a customer last week that had recently deployed SharePoint within their enterprise. The good news was that it had caught on like wild fire within in a relatively short period of time. Users had created almost five thousand sites and the number was increasing. The main focus of our conversation was around how they could manage these. They certainly didn’t want to delete those sites that in use, but were afraid of large amounts of static data. In order to implement this there are two important things to remember Enabling Site Collection Making sure that the virtual server is set up to allow the checking for sites activity.

This is a Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) based file. This is an XML based language used in Windows SharePoint Services to define sites and lists. CAML is used extensively throughout WSS in both code as parameters and the SOAP messaging. Essentially CAML is used for two types of rendering. The first is to define the type of data rendering and to construct HTML.

Configuring access requests for a list or document libraryYou can allow users to request access to a particular list or document library by changing the settings for that list. If access request is enabled for a site collection, by default it is enabled for all lists in that site collection. If access request is disabled for the site collection, you cannot enable it for a specific list. You cannot configure a separate e-mail address to use for access requests at the list level — requests are automatically sent to the e-mail address specified on the Manage Request Access page for the site collection. Note You must be a member of the Web Designer or Administrator site groups for a site to change request access settings for a list.

The Quick Web Service GuideThe Windows SharePoint Services Web Services provided in the Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer namespace provide numerous methods for accessing site content. These include methods for working with lists, site data as well as methods for customizing meeting, document workspaces, imaging and search. The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) interfaces used in these services provide .NET developers with object models that are used to create solutions that work with both WSS and SPS. The Web Service interfaces are integrated with the server-side object models of the Windows SharePoint Services assembly, and their design has been optimized to reduce the number of roundtrips transacted between client computer and server.
