MOSS Metadata Propperty Mapping Wierdness

Friday, 27 July 2007 04:08 by tariq

I am noticing some wierdness with the MOSS's metadata propperty mappings.

The scenario I tried was, went to a document library and added a new number column, did an incremental crawl, came back to search settings and went to add a new metadata propperty. If declare the metadata propperty as Integer it does not pick up my new column, but if I declare the metadata propperty as text it does.

Is that wierd or what?

Little Known Fact: How do you Escape a Curly Brace in a Format String?

Friday, 20 July 2007 19:48 by tariq

Needing to spew out some javascript as a format template I ran into the issue of how do you escape a curly brace for String.Format.

Obviously \{ doesnt work.

Googling around brought me to this Forum.

Guess what a double curly brace works.

So the format string becomes

  • "function foo(){{ document.write("{0}"); }}"

ConnectionPoint Ids

Friday, 20 July 2007 01:17 by tariq

A little obscure fact about WebPart Connections.

If you are writing a WebPart that is a Provider as well as a Consumer it is better to give your ConnectionPoint's unique Ids.

Infact if you have multple Providers on the same WebPartPage the connections wont work unless each ConnectionPoint like so

[ConnectionProvider("DisplayName", "ConnectionPointId")]
public IWebPartField ConnectionInterface()
{
return this;
}

Transformers - All that fuss for nothing

Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:29 by tariq

Those Decepticons, they never learn.

If that had a bit of intelligence they'd realize that instead of battling the autobots for the AllSpark they could just get from eBay (oh wait they already tried that).

Yes folks, props from the Transformers movie is being pedalled on ebay. The last time I checked, the bid for the All Spark cube was about $40K (WTF?) & and the "77 Camaro was about $30K. The Camaro looks a real bucket case, just check out the pics (yeah the ones that are not from the movie).

But on the bright side all proceeds go towards charity.
