IETester

Posted by Steve Pietrek on April 2, 2008

“IETester is a free WebBrowser that allows you to have the rendering and javascript engines of IE8 beta 1, IE7 IE 6 and IE5.5 on Vista and XP, as well as the installed IE in the same process.”

Still alpha so there may be some limitations. It seems to work in my Windows Server 2003 VM too but I have not done tons of testing.

Thanks to help.net for the find.

Posted by Steve Pietrek on March 19, 2008

Was working with JavaScript and the source was formatted incorrectly which made it difficult to read. Found the site below and it worked for me.

Import a File System Folder into a Document Library or Vice Versa

Posted by Steve Pietrek on February 26, 2008

One of my co-workers wanted a quick way to export a SPS 2003 document library and import the results into a MOSS 2007 document library. After a little research, found SPIEFolder and it works great.

http://www.codeplex.com/SPIEFolder

Allows you to either Import a file system folder (And all files and subfolders) into a SharePoint Document Library, and also export a SharePoint Document Library to the file system for WSS 2.0/SPS2003 or WSS 3.0/MOSS 2007. This tool completely replicates the document libraries folder hierarchy to the file system when exporting, and replicates the folder hierarchy from the file system to the document library when importing.

CAML Query Builder - Returns all Items

Posted by Steve Pietrek on February 8, 2008

I like CAML Query Builder. I use it often. Highly recommended. By specifying a URL and selecting a list, you can quickly build out your CAML query. There are a few things you need to be aware of however:

1. By default, the CAML query contains <Query>. If you include <Query>, the query will return all items in the list. To apply the query, remove <Query> and </Query>

<Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name=’Sequence’/></OrderBy></Query>

2. The copy to clipboard includes double quotes which results in the error: CS1002: ; expected:

<OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Sequence"/></OrderBy>

To fix, just replace the double quotes with single quotes

<Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Sequence'/></OrderBy></Query>

I’m sure these items are documented - I just missed them.

Update 1 (2/8/2008): Looks like Àlex Peláez ran into the same issue.
