Delete Button on Repeating Table InfoPath 2010

This is kind of common request from client to have kind of small delete button or image in every to delete.

I couldn’t find any approach using Rules to delete the rows. One line C# code would do the trick J

 

Add Button and Click on the “Edit Form Code” in Button Properties.

 


public
void DeleteRow_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)

{


// Write your code here.

e.Source.DeleteSelf();

}

 

 

When delete the source for the button, it deletes the current node in the DOM, the node contains the entire row.

 

Download the sample Form with code here.

Document ID in SharePoint 2010

Business problem

    The sales person sending document to marketing team, meanwhile the sales team has done some content organization reshuffled the documents to subfolder and different document libraries. If someone tries to pullout the document using the URL, they wouldn’t be able to find it.

 

Overview of Document ID

Document ID is the new feature in SharePoint 2010. By enabling the document ID feature, it assigns the unique ID to every document in Site Collection. Irrespective of location the document ID would help the user to find the document.

 

Activate Service

Activate the Document ID Service feature at Site Collection level to generate the ID for documents.

Now every document in the site collection has the unique ID. The link to document can be defined with “DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=xxxxxx”

DocIdRedir.aspx accepts the query string ID in the URL, which would be used to lookup the document using its unique ID, then it will be redirected to the current location of the file.

Change Document ID

Can I change the document ID prefix?

Yes

Go to -> Site Actions -> Site Settings -> (Site Collection Administration) Document ID Settings


Change the Text in “Begin IDs with the following characters”

Site Template ID in SharePoint 2010

I was working on creating my new codeplex tool for Site Governance to automate the process of creating the site based on the request.

The site will be provisioned programmatically using the object model in custom actions associated with SPD workflow. While building this action, I was trying to get the list of site templates and ID’s to automate the creation process. Finally, figured out the PowerShell cmdlet does the magic of listing all ID’s J

Get-SPWebTemplate is very useful PowerShell cmdlet to list the ID and templates.
