DoesUserHavePermissions ?

I found that when I went to use the 'DoesUserHavePermissions' method on a SPList object, that it threw up an Access Denied page instead of returning false.  If you need to use this method, wrap it in a RunWithElevatedPrivileges delegate and you will get the return value of false instead.

Adding Assemblies to Your SharePoint 2010 .WSP File

 

...

When I went to deploy the project on the server, I noticed that my TwitterAPI .dll was not included in the package. All of my SharePoint 2007 development used the WSP Builder utility that allowed you to create the package any way you wanted by using the 12 hive folder structure.

In 2010, using Visual Studio 2010, we don’t have that luxury. While most of the things I did today were fairly intuitive through the interface, packaging up the .dll files the way I wanted to took me a little longer that I had planned. I tried modifying the various manifest files that are in the project, but each of these are auto generated when you build the solution.

While I was meddling around, I started poking around the ‘Package’ folder and found that under the advanced options, I would add ‘Additional Assemblies’. Once I did that, the package was exactly the way I wanted it and I had a successful deployment.

Our Site - SharePoint Foundation

Welcome to our site.  As you will be able to notice, we built our SharePoint community site on SharePoint Foundation.  While we knew there may be some challenges and only a fraction of the cool new features that make the SharePoint 2010 suite so amazing, we thought we would really put SPF to a true public test.  Everything has come together much greater that we would have hoped.  This doesn’t mean that the process was without minor glitches here and there, but the overall experience was awesome.  Currently, we have an anonymous site that lists many of our meetings here in Colorado.  We have also posted some of the slide decks and pictures from our recent SharePoint Saturday held on December 12, 2009.

On December 17, we hosted our first Colorado SharePoint Users Group (COSPUG) and hosted the event online via live meeting.  We were able to record that meeting and have brought it to you through our COSPUG Sessions link.   We are currently planning many meetings across the state and have plans to get those presentations available to the people in our area that couldn’t visit us live.

Currently we have meetings planned for Colorado Springs, Denver, and the Loveland area.  We are hoping to build up SharePoint socials and meetings in every area of Colorado and bring those events to our Colorado Community either through LiveMeeting or our new SharePoint Community Site through recorded sessions.

Our new project would not be possible without the help of some really great sponsors.  If you have the opportunity to check out our new site at www.cospug.com, please visit our sponsor page to see who is truly impacting the Colorado SharePoint community.
