Tip: Creating GUIDs for WSS development using Resharper

-


Well....

First post in Englilsh for me!

I'm generating a lot of site columns from a feature, and i hate the drill of Options-guid-generate-copy-paste, so I started using a VSTudio Macro that did that for me...The VM I'm working started freezing, so I stopped using it.


Today I found I can generate Guids using Resharper very easy!



  1. Create a new User Live Template (resharper->options)
  2. Give it a short name (i.e. "ig") from insert GUID
  3. on the Template Text Box add $GUID$ this is a variable that can be changed as a macro value.
  4. Select a macro value for the $GIUD$ variable and assign it "New GUID"
  5. OK!!!

I also created a "big" template for Bracketed GUIDs using {$GUID$} as template text

that's it: When you type ig or big on your XML it creates a new GUID for you!

Warning: You'll have to use RS3.0 because of the XML support.

Testing Exceptions in Nunit 4.7

-
I am getting in TDD a lot, and of course, when thinking in border cases, you'll end up throwing exceptions, And you'd want to see ith they get thrown. With Nunit 4.7 the thing is that If, for example, you're testing that some parameter is null, when you decorate your test with [ExpectedException] it eventually gets thrown, but You'll never know what piece of code actually did it... So, I created this little R# snippet to test excxeptions in a more granular way: [Test] public void $TestName$() { try { $Code$ } catch (Exception e) { Assert.That(e, Is.TypeOf(typeof($ExpectedException$))); $END$ return; } Assert.Fail("Did Not Throw the Exception."); } For example, if you want to test if a parameter is null before you excercise some code, you could have a test like this: [Test] public void Intermediary_ParamOneCannotBeNull() { try { new Intermediary(null, null); } catch(Exception e) { Assert.That(e, Is.TypeOf(typeof(ArgumentNullE...

Manejo de "Cumpleaños del mes" en WSS 3.0

-
No he encontrado ningún artículo que indique cómo crear una vista en WSS 3.0 que muestre los cumpleaños del día; el gran problema es la falta de flexibilidad en los filtros por defecto y en el manejo de columnas calculadas en WSS, que no permite simplemente filtrar por una fórmula como MONTH([FechaNacimiento]) = MONTH([Hoy]). Mark Kruger tiene uno de cómo hacerlo en WSS2 , pero no funciona bien con SharePoint 2007, porque no se refresca la fecha una vez se calcula (con lo cual, el filtro no se actualiza de mes a mes). El anterior artículo, y la presión de mi cliente, me sirvieron de inspiración para la generación de la vista con SPD a través del procedimiento que ilustro a continuación. Software requerido WSS 3.0 o MOSS 2007; No he probado si funciona con Sharepoint Portal 2003 o con WSS 2.0 pero intuyo que sí.

Debugging Sharepoint Applications

-
When developing sharepoint apps, it becomes a pain in the neck to know what process to lint to (via debug-attach process) because it usually has many w3wp process running, and knowing which is the one you need is usually a trial-and-error thing. Spence Harbar has a very handy application called Application Pool Manager which lets you do several things: 1. Reset application pools, which is faster than iisreset. 2. Show the list of application pools running 3. Establish which application pool has which process ID associated, and refresh it if someone else recycled them (i.e. VSeWSS) This way, by just having a look at the tool's menu, you can know for sure what process ID you need to attach to!
