Yep, you heard right. To drive excitement for SharePoint 2010, we are turning all our courses into online versions! I am recording all the courses and turning them into CBT and SCORM! The 50064 course (PPTs and Labs, even the optional ones) has been recorded and I will be publishing the modules one by one over the next few days!
Follow me on twitter to get updates when I publish a module: http://twitter.com/givenscj
Here's the schedule:
As they become available, you can check them out here:

Go SharePoint 2010!

Hopefully most of you are going to the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas in a few weeks. If you haven't registered you can do so here:

The site gives you an idea of what is coming with SharePoint 2010 for those of you that don't have access to the invitation only downloads!

I found this awesome article on how to setup multiple SSL certificates on the same IIS Server. I have several sites I host on my web servers and have always had the problem of redirection to the first SSL certificate site. Here's how it works:
the site.name searches for the site name that displays in IIS manager
the bindings searches for the binding in IIS that matches protocol, IP, port, host header (https, *, 443, <null>)
the final "bindingInformation" sets the binding information updating the host header to what you want

I recently migrated my old Server 2003/IIS 6.0/ASP.NET 2.0 applications to Server 2008/IIS 7.0/ASP.NET 3.5 stack. Everything went well except the configuration of the handlers. This article helped alot!

Awesome blog to get your migrated Server 2003/IIS 6.0 to Server 2008/IIS 7.0 with Community Server:

Works like a charm!

Use this script to find all the closed web parts in your content database:
SELECT w.fullurl + '/' + ad.dirname + '/' + ad.leafname
FROM WebParts wp, alldocs ad, sites s, webs w
where tp_isincluded = 0
and wp.tp_pageurlid = ad.id
and ad.siteid = s.id
and webid = w.id
When exporting a list to .stp, the settings for the list will include the Fields that were added by a content type, and what seems to be the content type definition, HOWEVER, it does not move the content type definitions. The Content Type will only exist for that instance of the List and no others when moving the .stp between sites!
If I was to build a free SharePoint CodeGen tool, what would you want in it? I'll give you some examples:
What else would the SharePoint community like to have?
I have been working on a lot of codegeneration techniques with SharePoint and approched the BDC today. It seems that it doesn't like things like Guids that much when working with Search Stored Procedures. It will create a default Guid instance and pass that value EVERY TIME! And it will not allow "Wildcard" on Guid Types.
In order to get around this little fact, you have to build a dynamic sql stored procedure (that passes through the query in the proper way to avoid sql injection) that takes all string parameters! Even then there are some types that cannot be compared with the "like" sql operator.
I have everything working like a charm now (keeping to simple types), but man…that was a day's worth of work!
