My Toolbox

Every day I hate SharePoint, but without this tools my hatred would have been stronger.

PowerShell

Most useful tool for SharePoint 2010. You may script mostly everything!

This is scripting language from Microsoft for .Net Framework that allows you to script anything. On the other hand, Powershell is just another .Net language that can used all .Net BCL. It is very powerful tool, but large scripts become very awkward – don’t overuse it.

UlsViewer

How often you need to see sharepoint logs? Everyday I believe. This tool is most useful thing for view ULS logs generated by SharePoint. You can see a live stream of ULS logs too.

SharePoint Manager

Just simple object model walker. You could code it for hours, but it’s already created and you may just use it. Allows to view a SharePoint services tree from a farm level to list items. You can edit some properties and save changes, of course!

And, of course, I hate it!

Hello, everybody!

I am professional c# developer and I use Microsoft SharePoint software for years. I need to explore this product for extending and creating solutions for our clients.

SharePoint is a very large software and it has many errors, ambiguities, strange behaviors and other annoying stuff. After every project I have a lot of solutions, workarounds, thoughts and curses against authors of this product for most problems found. Now I will publish my notes for you, reader.

Welcome to my blog. And, of course, I Hate IT!

Sincerely yours, Andrew.
