SharePoint provides APIs to create MySite programmtically. UserProfile object provides a method to create personal site. Following console application creates MySite for a given account: using Microsoft.Office.Server; using Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration; using Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles; using Microsoft.SharePoint; using System.Web; namespace UserProfileCreate { class Program { static void Main ( string [] args) { using (SPSite site = new SPSite( "http://servername" )) { ServerContext context = ServerContext.GetContext(site); UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(context); string accountName = "domainname\\username" ; UserProfile userProfile; if (profileManager.UserExists(accountName)) { userProfile = profileManager.GetUserProfile(accountName)...

SPSite class : SPSite Represents a collection of sites on a virtual server, including a top-level site and all its subsites. Each SPSite object, or site collection, is represented within an SPSiteCollection object that consists of the collection of all site collections on the virtual server. SPSite.OpenWeb Method: Returns the site that is located at the specified server-relative or site-relative URL. SPWeb class : SPWeb Simply represents Windows SharePoint Services Web site. Code sample to create a site: SPSite mySite = new SPSite("http://servername/"); SPWeb myWeb = mySite.AllWebs["Site_Name"]; SPWeb myRootWeb = mySite.RootWeb; Note: SPSite and SPWeb inherit directly from System.Object Calling Dispose ensures all resources used by those objects are immediately released.

SharePoint, like a conductor in an orchestra, really just orchestrates a search request. As a conductor doesn't play an instrument, SharePoint doesn't actually do the mechanics of a search, it just makes the request. It's really all about IFilters and the search capabilities they provide. The SharePoint search pages, object model and web services are just facades to access the real workers. This conversation came up because, out of the box, SharePoint only searches the following content types: .txt, .htm, .doc, .xls, and .ppt. And this search is not SharePoint but rather SQL Servers full-text search engine. After all, a binary file type (like PDF) can't really be searched unless the searcher knows how to read the format. SQL Server knows how to read the base types and with the addition of new iFilters, you can extend that. You can get additional IFilters for PDF, RTF, MSG, ZIP and other formats from various sources (Microsoft has a few free ones like for RT...

This is small, but gets me all of the time. When you are working with the Global Navigation (a.k.a. Top Nav Bar) in SharePoint and you are using 2 levels of flyout menus, the arrow that appears for the second level of items may show the wrong background color when you hover over the item or arrow. As you start to alter the various colors and styles in the menu code, the background color behind the arrow does not reflect your changes or seem to pick up any styles from parent elements. Here is an example of this happening. By default, the SharePoint menu code in the master page manually specifies a color for this hover effect: You don't have to replace the color or specify a style, just delete the property and your colors will shine through. This does require edits to the master page, there is no CSS class specified, so you can't change this with CSS only.

MOSS 2007 sites can display drop down menus in the tabbed navigation across the top. Unfortunately there is not an easy check box to act ivate this functionality; instead things just have to be set up the right way. If you want your MOSS site to show drop down menus, make sure the following is true or walk through the following steps: 1. From the root of the parent site (Home) choose to create a new site (Site 1). Once that site is created, you will be in that new site. From here choose to create a new page. 2. Once that is created,choose to create another new site (SubSite 1). Then create a new page in SubSite1 3. Your site structure should resemble like this (Pic Shown below) 4. For each site in the Navigation settings, both Show Subsites and Show Pages should be checked. a. Select Site Actions - Site Settings - Modify Navigation. b. Check Show subsites and Show pages in the first row. 5. The end resul...
