re: A quick look at phonetic People Search in SharePoint 2010

Very interesting read, thank you so much for this insight. I am waiting to go live with SP2010 once it is released.

Partial name searching, such as the "Will" for "Williams" example that you gave is already available in SP2007. You just need to add the managed property in front of the criteria (LastName:Will).

A really easy solution is to build a web part that has input boxes for first name and last name and contains a button to execute the search. The web part can then pass the criteria along with the managed property data to the search results page.

We added a part like this to our portal homepage and with over 3000 searches for employees every day, I can't even imagine how many hours it has saved in 3 years.

re: A simple way to programmatically create SharePoint security groups

@Hassan - Yes, writing this as an stsadm command is a very good way to execute this code. A feature also works as well. Going forward with SharePoint 2010, you can write this as a powershell commandlet as well.

Thanks for a nice post. I have been taking similar appraoches with 2007 in the past however with 2010 we can improve it a bit further.

The challenge with developing these utilities as winform applications is maintenance, by the end of the project we would have a basket full of utulities to automate different tasks.

With 2010 I think the best approach would be creating a cmdlet for the code you have given above. I haven't played with cmdlets yet but in theory beleive it is quite possible and then we could have a powershell batch file to prepare the sharepoint enviornment and one step would be calling this custom cmdlet to create groups with xml file provided.

re: The difference between .dwp and .webpart

CoreyRoth — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:43:18 GMT

If you want to add it to a site definition, I recommend putting it in a feature and then use feature stapling to attach that feature to your site definition.

I put a ContentEditor web part on a page. Added text for a disclaimer statement. I exported the web part as disclaimer.dwp. I imported it into the web part gallery and added it to a page. Worked great. Now I want to add it to a site definition. Nothing I try works. HELP!!

re: Error: Reference to undeclared namespace: ‘ns1’ when trying to create a custom Document Information Panel

CoreyRoth — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:14:56 GMT

In this case, the schema.xml is used in my custom document library's feature. I also highly recommend being fairly current on service packs / updates if you are dealing with document information panels.

I am experiencing this exact issue. Could you please explain where we could find the Schema XML file. I have tried looking with SPD but to no avail.

re: It’s easy to configure an External List with Business Connectivity Services (BCS) in SharePoint Foundation 2010

Nan — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 00:10:06 GMT

External List seems cannot be used to trigger WF. It may because the data for External List are saved in external data source but not SP.

However, we could create a WF for regular list to access data from External List. There are couple papers talk about WF with External List.
