Linking your LinkedIn account with your Outlook.com account has many advantages. Personally I like to have all my contacts accessible in one place. That’s why I connected my LinkedIn account with my personal Outlook.com account. Now I have all contacts synced to the contacts app of my personal...

A few months ago I encountered a problem with the contacts in outlook.com. Although I successfully added my LinkedIn account to my outlook.com account only a few new LinkedIn contacts were synced. Most of my new LinkedIn contacts weren’t synced. To evaluate the problem I deleted and re-attached my LinkedIn...

As some of you might know I’m a very visual person. It’s hard for me to remember names when I don’t have the person’s portrait. That’s why I always add a portrait image to new contacts :) A while ago I started to manage my contacts using Outlook.com – mostly because I can sync my Outlook.com account...

In addition to SharePoint, I have yet another hobby: I love taking pictures with a digital SLR. Several months ago I bought a Pentax K-x . I am very pleased with the camera, but when transferring the pictures to Adobe Photoshop Elements I always had difficulties to reconstruct (or to remember), where...

Alright – I must admit that this is not a big thing. Most of you might already know this. But this blog is not only a public blog, but my personal memory hook. That’s why I posted this article :) What’s this all about? Quite often there is the requirement to hide fields of a generic...

In my current SharePoint development project there has been the requirement to get the localized (german) name (role definition) for the ‘Approve’ permission. OK - one thing to do that is to open a site, change its language to ‘German’ and have a look at the permissions. In that case you would find,...

Did you ever write code that sends an email to the current user informing her or him about something? For example: a SharePoint user reserved a conference room using a webpart - and this webpart sends a confirmation email to the user. In most cases you would like to address this user by her or his real...

Metadata is not new to SharePoint. The Managed Metadata have been introduced in SharePoint 2010 and are -of course- an important part of SharePoint 2013. However, Hastags are new to SharePoint. They got introduced in SharePoint 2013 as a part of the new social features. Both are very helpful in collaborative...

Last weekend I have been attending this year's ShareCamp at Microsoft in Unterschliessheim. It has been an awesome event: two days ‘nothing but sharepoint’. I had offered to talk about my favorite SharePoint subject ‘Document Management’ and I was really surprised that so...

This post is intended to be a personal note to myself. I need to keep this valuable information, because I’m sure that I will need this to fix problems in some of my customers sites. If this information is useful for you too - just grab the link :-) What’s this post about? After releasing the RTM version...

Das neue Outlook 2013 bietet die Möglichkeit, Mails, Kalender und Kontakte mit Outlook.com zu synchronisieren. Dazu wird ein neues Konto über eine Exchange ActiveSync Verbindung eingerichtet - also so ähnlich, wie ich es vor Kurzem hier bereits für Android beschrieben hatte. Einziger Unterschied: als...

Eine der -zumindest für Programmierer- interessanten Eigenschaften eines SPWeb ist dessen Property Bag. Dabei handelt es sich eigentlich um ein Dictionary, welches aus Schlüssel-Wert-Paaren besteht. Für Programmierer ist ein Property Bag eine gute Ablage für Werte, die zwar für...

Irgendwie war der Hinweis in meinem letzten Post nicht leicht zu finden, denn in den letzten Tagen bekam ich ein paar Anfragen (extern und auch intern), wo denn in SharePoint 2013 der Link ‘als anderer Benutzer anmelden’ bzw. ‘Sign-In as different user’ sei. Die kurze Antwort...

Warmup-Scripte sind für SharePoint ein absolutes must-have, denn sie verkürzen die Wartezeit beim Aufrufen von Seiten nach einem Neustart des Servers oder einem Recycling des Application Pools enorm. Bei SharePoint 2010 (und wahrscheinlich auch bei SharePoint 2013) genügt es meiner bisherigen Erfahrung...
