No controversy on this fact that this is top most tool to be used for creating SharePoint solutions with Visual Studio.

Hi guys, Favicon, Sometimes user come across some websites which shows logo instead of explorer logo in Address bar. A typical example is Google, login to Google with IE and watch address bar. You can see Google logo then the URL. This icon is stored in the PC when we add the sites as bookmarks. When you open bookmarks menu the site name will show with the icon.

Hi, I was trying to use the Session[" key "] code in SharePoint. I got the following exception: "Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either.................". After facing this error, I found that by Default the Session State is Disabled in SharePoint. If you look at the Web.Config the you will see that as below. <pages enableSessionState="false" You can enable it there. Else you can Enable this at the Page Level. But I recommend you being a SharePoint guy you must rely upon the SharePoint Power shell command: "Enable-SPSessionStateService –DefaultProvision" It should not be necessary to edit the web.config file after running Enable-SPSessionStateService. Additional information about enabling session state: Syntax 1 Syntax 2 Enable-SPSessionStateService -DefaultProvision Enable-SPSessionStateService -DatabaseName <String> [-DatabaseServer <String>] [-DatabaseCredentials <PSCredential>] Addit...

Hi Guys, I recently experienced the migration from SharePoint 2010 to 2013. I was earlier hiding Ribbon using the SPSecurityTrimmedControl and CSS. But in SP 2013 MS has divided whole ribbon in two section: s4-ribbonrow and suiteBar Hiding the ribbon is as much as easier as it was in 2010 version. But here we just need to take care of above two mentioned sections. I have gone thorough some of the blogs where people are saying that we have change the html file(Seattle.html or oslo.html) and design manger will take care of creating master page for you (ref: Hide Ribbon ). But there is another traditional way of doing same, follow the given steps: 1) Open the master page file in the SharePoint designer. 2) Add the style tag to hide the ribbon for all the user: #s4-ribbonrow, #suiteBar { display : none; } 3) Now we have to do some more changes so that at least system account can access the ribbon. Find out the <div id="s4-ribbonrow"> tag. 4) Insert the following code insi...

Hi, Below is the very simple code which is capable to validate the mobile number field on any .net form. jQuery(document).ready(function () { jQuery("#btnChangeNumber").click(function () { var mobileNo = jQuery("#txtNewMobileNumber").val(); if (mobileNo == "") { alert('Please enter mobile number.'); return false; } else { var rege = /^[0-9\+\-\(\)\s]*$/; if (!rege.test(mobileNo)) { alert('Please enter valid mobile number.'); return false; } } }); }); Enjoy :) !!!!

Hi, It is unfortunate to share that SharePoint 2013 is not supported by <IE8 browser versions. In case you got this error: "Object doesn't support property or method 'querySelector' " while loading the site page that means you have to go to new version of browser. This error encounters because of init.js file under layouts scripts which uses the java script query selector as shown below: So getting rid of this error is impossible as Microsoft never checked IE7 compatibility while releasing this new version of SharePoint 2013. In case your customers are bound to use this browser then you have to coordinate with Microsoft guy to handle this issue. I am not sure but there is one another way to get rid of this. Some people have used some tools like sizzle for same.
