The way to do this is to find the filtervalue parameter binding entry and add an extra property called "DefaultValue" set this to the proper value and voila.<br /><br /> <parameterbinding name="sdwp_filterfield" location="QueryString[Column]" defaultvalue="RegionMulti"> <parameterbinding name="sdwp_filtervalue" location="QueryString[Value]" defaultvalue="National"> <br />I hope this saves you some time when you are trying to perform the same task. <br /><br />If you have any tips, tricks, resources you would like to share with the group please post them as comments or email them to Susan Fischer at <a href="mailto:susan@clinchportal.com">susan@clinchportal.com</a> and we will post them in an article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233707682579537378.post-29601432372230479752009-12-01T08:41:00.000-08:002009-12-01T08:44:23.173-08:00Problem publishing Workflow to WSS 3.0 From Visual Studio 2008I ran into a problem publishing then after some googling came across this article on how to fix it.<br />I thought I would provide the info here and a link to the original article.<br />Hope you find this helpful.<br /><br /><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/kaevans/archive/2008/08/08/creating-sharepoint-workflows-for-wss-with-visual-studio-2008.aspx">http://blogs.msdn.com/kaevans/archive/2008/08/08/creating-sharepoint-workflows-for-wss-with-visual-studio-2008.aspx</a><br /><br /><blockquote><p>Creating SharePoint Workflows for WSS with Visual Studio 2008<br /><br />I just ran across one of those nuisance things with Visual Studio 2008<br />that I haven't seen before. Create a SharePoint workflow (Sequential or<br />State, doesn't matter) for a WSS site (not MOSS). Build the project,<br />you'll get an error similar to the following:<br />Error<br />3 Feature '739f61bf-5616-427a-80d6-ed30fdc04b1f' could not be<br />installed because the loading of event receiver assembly<br />"Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Feature, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,<br />PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" failed: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could<br />not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Feature, Version=12.0.0.0,<br />Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies.<br />The system cannot find the file specified.<br />Turns out that VS2008 is only<br />supported on MOSS. Tucked away in the comments in Nikhil's blog, he shows <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/nikhil/archive/2008/01/19/sharepoint-workflow-feature-in-vs-2008-part-ii.aspx#8584351">how<br />to use Visual Studio 2008 to create workflows for Windows SharePoint Services<br />3.0</a>.<br />To get it to work on WSS there is a workaround. Remove the reference<br />to Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Tasks from project assembly references. This<br />assembly is only available in the MOSS version of SharePoint and will not be<br />resolved on a machine with WSS installed.<br />Also, open the feature.xml in the<br />project and remove the ReceiverAssembly="Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Feature,<br />Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" and<br />ReceiverClass="Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Feature.WorkflowFeatureReceiver". This<br />feature receiver is required for MOSS related functionality (InfoPath forms) and<br />should not affect your WSS workflow development.<br /></p></blockquote><br /><br />If you have any tips, tricks, resources or articles you think would be useful to the group please email them to <a href="mailto:susan@clinchportal.com">susan@clinchportal.com</a> and we will post them or you can simply post them as comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233707682579537378.post-73557794465411362782009-11-24T08:45:00.000-08:002009-11-24T08:49:38.137-08:00Installing Sharepoint 2010 on VistaI am going to attempt an install of Sharepoint 2010 on Vista tonight.

Sharepoint turns off code blocks by default.<br /><br />This link explains the whole story:<br /><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/kaevans/archive/2007/04/26/code-blocks-are-not-allowed-in-this-file-using-server-side-code-with-sharepoint.aspx">http://blogs.msdn.com/kaevans/archive/2007/04/26/code-blocks-are-not-allowed-in-this-file-using-server-side-code-with-sharepoint.aspx</a><br /><br />The fix is to add this web.config key. In the configuration/SharePoint/PageParserPaths configuration section add something like this:<br /><br /><blockquote><pageparserpaths><br /> <PageParserPath<br />VirtualPath="/pages/test.aspx" CompilationMode="Always"<br />AllowServerSideScript="true" /><br /></pageparserpaths> </blockquote><br /><br /><strong><em>WARNING: There is a reason why Sharepoint does this so only use it when you need it. </em></strong><strong><em>It can be dangerous to give designers access to the file and accidentally have them edit your code.</em></strong>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233707682579537378.post-38041325647991220462009-05-27T07:03:00.000-07:002009-05-27T07:07:23.356-07:00Setting up Sharepoint for Silverlight web parts<p>When trying to install Silverlight on Sharepoint 2007 or wss 3.0 its not an easy task.<br />The first step is following the web.config tweeks in this article.</p><p><a href="http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/moss-install-aspnet-ajax-35.html">http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/moss-install-aspnet-ajax-35.html</a></p><p>The second step is copying the System.web.silverlight.dll into either the bin folder for the site or registering it with the GAC.</p><p>The third step is making sure the scriptmanager is loaded properly.
