Sharepoint development improvements in Visual Studio 2010

Coding in Sharepoint is not so easy as developers get very minimum support from Visual Studio. For example, if a developer has to make a Web part then he or she has to go to Visual Studio and write down plenty of codes for creating a single control. Manytimes we also use SmartPart right. Hopefully, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 will offer various features that will make Sharepoint developers' life much more comfortable. I am quickly listing and briefing all those:

  • Web Part Designer: Developer will get designer support for creating web parts. It will work quite similar like the Smart Part but in a better way.
  • Debugging: Debugging Sharepoint applications will be done by "F5". Yeppi, it will be same like any other program in Visual Studio.
  • Sharepoint Server Explorer: All Sharepoint items like lists, document libraries, features and templates will be viewable with in Visual Studio and developers can change and manipulate it directly. Isn't it good guys?
  • WSP Import and Creation: There will be no need to create WSPs manually. Those will be created automatically.
  • Workflow Integration: A new ASP.NET Workflow Initiation Form for the Workflow project will be available with the designer support.
  • Packaging Editor: Package Explorer will be integrated which will support packaging and structuring various Features and WSPs.

    Programmatically Playing With SSRS Subscriptions

    SQL Server Reporting Services offers programmatically handling various report subscriptions. You can read the specific subscriptions and change those in code-behind as required. I assume that you are already aware about the subscription mechanism in reporting services. For some of you who are not aware about this, I would like to write that subscription in reporting services is nothing but a automated service (sql server job) defined and set by you to deliver reports at specific time or in specific events. You also define in which format the report will be presented to the user. Now whatever subscription properties you have set, everything will be stored in the ReportServer database. Schedule, Subscriptions and ReportSchedule tables contain alll those informations. Now create a Windows or Web Application. Add a Web Reference towords ReportingService2006. If SSRS is isntalled on your system then you can easily find the ReportService2006.asmx in the following url: http://servername ...

    Microsoft SharePoint 2010 is coming

    Microsoft recently announced that they are going to remove office word from the next version of SharePoint Server. As part of the Exchange Server 2010's public beta realease (and 14 waves of products), they have also announced about the next version of SharePoint Server and they are calling it as Microsoft Sharepoint 2010. What about the MOSS word? It sounds interesting as they think that office word may confuse users. It's not a big issue but definetely we all are waiting for the next version of this product. Technical preview will be relased in the third quarter of 2009 and we can expect the final version on somewhere around first half of 2010. Following links can be useful in this context: http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2009/04/14/microsoft-sharepoint-14-is-now-microsoft-sharepoint-2010.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2009/Apr09/04-15Office2010.mspx
