Microsoft has released v1.3.1 of the SPDisposeCheck Utility. This utility helps developers working with the SharePoint object model make sure the code they are writing is properly disposing of objects. Properly, disposing of SharePoint Objects can be a little tricky because it is sometime obfuscated when new SharePoint Objects are instantiated. Additionally, many SharePoint objects are wrappers to unmanaged objects. Technorati Tags: SharePoint,SPDispose,SharePoint Object Disposal
As developers we are so used to having multiple ways to accomplish a given task. It should come as no surprise that SharePoint offer us the same opportunities :)... For example, I have been involved in the Architecture and development of several public facing MOSS 2007 sites. As a result our team at SpringPoint Technologies has become quite familiar with the capabilities of Publishing. Unfortunately, when it comes to checking/viewing the status of published content I have often just navigated to the pages library and check the status of a page. The irony is I completely forgot about the built...
I received the following information from my MVP Lead Suzanna. She asked that we pass it on to help reduce infections.

Issue:
Regular Expression are quite power especially for validation purposes. Classic examples include password and email validation. However, regular expressions are usually something developers get to work then forget about. I don't work with regular expression everyday so I don't bother memorizing the syntax. So when I do need to use a regular expression in code I usually end up searching the web for an example.
Solution:
A coworker here at SpringPoint Technologies turned me on to Expresso, a free regular expressions authoring tool.

Becky Isserman runs the Kansas City Office Geeks User Group and is helping to organize a FREE, all day SharePoint training event, on February 7th.

David McCoullough and I have submitted two sessions. The first is on improving SharePoint performance and the second is about enabling variations to support Multilingual Portal Requirements. Kansas City is that far a drive from Tulsa and this is a great opportunity to network and see how others are using SharePoint. Technorati Tags:...
