The Experience - Shared !

One major issue we encountered in InfoPath 2010 forms during deployment is that the Data Connection's Connection Source cannot be changed easily... we successfully changed the UDCX files and everything but this URL remains unchanged ! See the image below Solution To resolve this issue we need to actually change the manifest.xsf file. Thanks to this link which provides us with the best solution http://sladescross.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/infopath-edit-the-manifest/ Change the extension of infopath form from XSN to CAB. Unzip/Extract the files to any location you like Find manifest.xsf in the directory and open it in Notepad (or some other text editor). Find and replace all instances of existing URL with the new one. Save the modified manifest.xsf. Right-click the modified manifest.xsf, select DESIGN , and finally use File | Save As… to save the form template as a XSN file. (This is the only way to regroup the files back to XSN FORMAT). OPENING FILE in DE...

A Nightmare ! ... we constantly get this error when Restoring our Site from Development to Production Environment. We did run the windows update, PSConfig and everything. Finally after searching a lot we identified that the versions of both these Farms are Different. See the attached image to see the difference in versions. To check SharePoint Current Version go to Control Pannel > Program and Features .... and See SharePoint Server 2010 there and check its version next to it. click on the image to enlarge it We finally figured out that the Source SharePoint 2010 Server had 14.0.4763.1000 And Target SharePoint 2010 Server had 14.0.6029.1000 This means that Target should be at the same version. The higher version is creating the problem to Restore... however Microsoft must have provided backward compatibility ! Complete Error Details Restore-SPSite : Your backup is from a different version of Microsoft SharePoint t Foundation and cannot be restored to a server runnin...

Recently we came across a problem in InfoPath 2010 DateTime Control. When we assign a value in code-behind, the text box is marked red and asking for a valid date. However the date was valid and when we type the same date, it accept the same date. The assignment was as follows in code behind which produces the error MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode( "/my:myFields/my:grpFeeDetails/my:dateDPO" , NamespaceManager).SetValue(l_oDateTimeDateDPO.ToShortDateString()); Identified Problem Basically the issue is with the format of the date. When we use ToShortDateString, then the format is not compatible with the InfoPath 2010 Date Format. Resolution To resolve this issue we used the following code MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode( "/my:myFields/my:txtDOB" , NamespaceManager).SetValue(l_oDateTimeDOB.ToString( "yyyy-MM-dd" )); The Important Point is this DateTime Format l_oDateTimeDOB.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") ...

Summary of the Article Always pass Reference Type ByVAL and not ByRef. Why ? Read it One of the most common mistakes developers make when learning .NET is confusing Reference and Value Types with Passing values by Reference or Value. Is this a big deal?  YES!  It's a very big deal. So let's go through the basics first: Values types break down like this... (From MSDN) Value types include:      All numeric data types      Boolean, Char, and Date      All structures, even if their members are reference types      Enumerations, since their underlying type is always Byte, Short, Integer, or Long Reference types include:      String      All arrays, even if their elements are value types      Class types, such as Form      Delegates So, when you pass arguments to a subroutine or function, you...
