In this installment of MSDN geekSpeak, Jim Wilt covers a topic that is popping up in many of his current projects—the creation of secure, membership Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 sites that have a public-facing side with an input form that often requests sensitive information. Making a secure form for gathering sensitive, private information from an anonymous accessible site can be easily accomplished with a custom list using some creative features of Windows SharePoint Services. Jim fills in the details for you during this installment of geekSpeak.

This is the eighth in a series (the series is listed at the bottom) of "How To " Videos that I have created to show .NET Developers how to build document workflow in a SharePoint environment. 

In the How to Videos that I produced on "Building Approval Workflow's" and "Escalating Workflow's (for overdue tasks), I kept things simple (focusing on the Workflow) and did not do dynamic lookups of people/users against Active Directory (AD), choosing to "hard code" the users in the workflow.

In this example, I take one of those workflow's (Basic Approval Workflow) and show you how you can do a "Dynamic Lookup or Search" of Active Directory for information (The Manager of a user) using .NET Code (System.DirectoryServices).

This is the seventh of a series (the series is listed at the bottom) of "How To " Videos that I have created to show .NET Developers how to build document workflow in a SharePoint environment. 

In this scenario, I take the workflow that I built in the How To Video on Building a Basic Approval Workflow (found here) by adding a second level (and you could extend it to multiple levels) of Approval based on a SharePoint Custom Column (Expense Report Total in this case).  Although I built the "trigger" on the Expense Total column, you can build it on any number of other factors within the document, SharePoint Columns, or workflow activities.

geekSpeaks are a great opportunity for some innovative members of the developer community to show off what they've been working on.

One such fellow is Bart De Smet. As of this recording, Bart had only been with Microsoft for 3 weeks. We arrange geekSpeaks a few months in advance, so technically Bart was still part of the community. :) Here's his bio:

A former Visual C# MVP, Bart De Smet now works at Microsoft Corporation on the WPF dev team in an SDE role. Prior to this new challenge, Bart was active in the Belgian community evangelizing various Microsoft technologies, most of the time focusing on CLR, language innovation and frameworks. In his evangelism role, he's been speaking at various events and attended several international conferences including TechEd Europe, IT Forum and the PDC. In 2005, Bart graduated as a Master of Informatics from Ghent University, Belgium. Two years later, Bart became a Master of Computer Science Software Engineering from the same university.

In this geekSpeak, Bart gives us a tour of a community project called LINQ to Sharepoint, which basically allows a developer to query lists and other things on a Sharepoint server as a data store, without having to resort to calling web services or mastering CAML.

I really love this project because it illustrates the power of LINQ and is a superb example of implemnting a custom LINQ to ... provider. It's also pretty cool to see Bart slip into some on-the-fly LINQ coding in response to the live questions.

So check out the video and be sure to try out LINQ to SharePoint and let Bart know what you think!

This video (#5 in the series of How To Videos on SharePoint/MOSS 2007 "Document" Workflow with Visual Studio) addresses one of the most common questions/needs: "How can I build an Escalation workflow in SharePoint?".  It turns out that this is a very Advanced Workflow scenario and therefore will take me a bit longer to demonstrate in video than some of the other videos that I've produced.

In the video I show how to escalate a task based on an expired (i.e., Overdue) Task Due Date, and automatically sending emails to the Original Owner of the Task and the person who has been Re-Assigned the task (using Outlook email/tasks).

The question that I get most often when I talk to developers about SharePoint Document Workflow is on Sending and Tracking tasks for the people participating in a document workflow.  So, in this 4th part of the series that I am doing on "Building Document Workflow" in SharePoint/MOSS 2007, I am demonstrating how to send a basic SharePoint Task with Visual Studio and at the end you will see how to connect an Outlook Client to the Portals Task List, so that a user can see the tasks within their Outlook desktop Client.

This is a 2nd part of a series that I am doing on "Building Document Workflow" in SharePoint/MOSS 2007 that I am producing.  You can find the freely downloadable workshops that accompanying these videos on my blog here.

The scenario is a company has created a portal which will accept resume's for job postings, and that via workflow, the MOSS 2007 portal will handle the workflow (automatically and with human interaction where needed) to process the resume's (documents).

In this example, I will show how to use the WorkflowProperties Object to get information about the file being uploaded.  With SharePoint Workflow you get a variety of detailed information about your workflow item (i.e., Document), including the file name, who uploaded/emailed it, when it was last check in/out, etc. 

In this demonstration, I assume that the resume file (our sample document) was emailed to the SharePoint list.  See my earlier screencast to see how to enable MOSS SharePoint List to receive email (see below for the link).

In this 3rd part of the series that I am doing on "Building Document Workflow" in SharePoint/MOSS 2007, I am demonstrating one of the more widely used functions in document workflow: Sending Emails.  In this scenario, I have a SharePoint List configured to receive email from outside of the corporate firewall (see the links below to learn how to configure your server to do the same), and from that document I extract the email address and then send an automated email response within the workflow.

This geekSpeak, hosted by Microsoft Developer Evangelists Glen Gordon and G. Andrew Duthie, features Ron Rohlfs, practice area lead with InterKnowlogy.

Ron spends a lot of time architecting Sharepoint solutions for customers. In this geekSpeak, Ron shares some insight into one approach to solving the enterprise problem of managing the sharing of information on your intranet, but also with customers and vendors outsider your organization. Here’s the problem space, in Ron’s words:

It is not uncommon for a business to deliver web based content to multiple groups of end users. For example, a business may wish to deliver content to both internal employees on its intranet, and external users such as clients or vendors on an extranet or a publicly accessible Internet site. In these cases, it is often desirable to use multiple means for authentication. Many businesses authenticate its internal employees against Active Directory. However, it may not be desirable to add extranet users to Active Directory. Extranet users, such as clients or vendors, tend to turn over more rapidly than employees, requiring continuous updating. Furthermore, exposing Active Directory over a publicly accessible site may be associated with an unacceptable level of security risk.

Specifically Ron shows how to have some users authenticated against Active Directory while some users are authenticated against a custom provider. Thanks to the tight integration between Sharepoint 2007 and ASP.NET this is now much more straightforward than in the past. We were fascinated to realize that you can tie Sharepoint right into the good ol’ provider model of Membership and Personalization in ASP.NET. Who’d have thought you’d be using the ASP.NET configuration tool to manage users for Sharepoint site?

Ron has some invaluable guidance for dealing with the Site Collection Administrator when switching membership providers. Ron also warns of a gotcha around membership provide, role provider and site administrator.  Sprinkled into the conversation are some good tips on managing SQL Express connections string, web.config files, and more.

So if you can get through the technology experts fumbling around briefly in PowerPoint during the recording, you’ll be rewarded with some useful information. :)

In this Office Live screencast, Albert Shen shows you how to use SharePoint Designer 2007 to build powerful views of your business data, and integrate them into your Office Live Business Applications.

 

The Data form web part can consume data from various data sources including SharePoint lists, SharePoint libraries, server side scripts, RSS feeds, XML files, databases, web services, or an aggregation of these sources.

 

Using ASP.NET 2.0 data source controls, the data form web part retrieves data as an XML document, and then uses XSLT to transform the data for the browser.

In this video, Dr. Peter Ernst of CoCreate (a Microsoft Partner in Germany) demonstrates how their One Space Designer product is tightly integrated with Sharepoint to enable bi-directional communication between a CAD application and Sharepoint workspaces. A custom panel within One Space Designer provides live interoperability with MOSS including task lists, RSS feeds, and other functionality.

The custom UI panel is deliberately modeled after Office's Tools -> Shared Workspace interface, so from the user's perspective it feels like you're in Microsoft Office without ever leaving CoCreate's solid modeling application. There is a lot of complexity under the surface that makes it all possible, but Dr. Ernst goes through a very simple demo scenario that makes the benefits of this approach easy to see and understand.
