  • Filter a SharePoint Calendar List With a Date Picker

    I was trying to add a date picker to allow the filtering of a Calendar list in SharePoint.

  • Removing Null Characters (0x00) From Values in SQL Server

    I recently came across a problem while crawling a BCS data source in SharePoint 2010.

  • Adding Breadcrumb Navigation to SharePoint 2010 Application Pages

    The application pages in my SharePoint 2010 FBA Pack were not properly displaying the breadcrumb navigation.

  • Performance Profiling a SharePoint 2010 Project using EQATEC Profiler

    I wanted to profile a SharePoint 2010 project i’d been working on, in order to find some of the slower methods so that they could be improved.  I decided to give EQATEC Profiler a try since it had some good recommendations on StackOverflow and was FREE. EQATEC works by modifying and rebuilding your assemblies.  Since…

  • Search Refinement Panel Web Part “Show More” Link Not Working

    I recently discovered that the “Show More” link on the Search Refinement Panel web part had stopped working, seemingly out of the blue.  With a bit of debugging I discovered that the functions defined in the onclick event: were returning “Object Expected”.  For some reason the functions were no longer defined. I eventually figured out…
