So I was having a strange problem in SharePoint the other day trying to run a webservice from a client script. Every time I called the service (in this case and .asmx in the layouts dir) it was doing nothing…no communication at all with the service. What made this particularly strange is that this exact [...]
I came across a great post today that talks about ASP.NET caching (applies to SharePoint) and what to look for. Thanks to Gunnar Peipman for the great insight.

I was trying to install install SharePoint 2007 onto Windows 2008 r2 and was getting a strange error referencing KB article 962935. Funny enough this article is not live yet so it left me a little unhappy. Apprarently Microsoft does not support the distributed SP1 installation package of SharePoint for this version of the OS.

Day three was a lot of fun as I got to spend three hours in the labs and ran through some pretty cool stuff. Linq to Sharepoint, Upgrading sites, REST API etc.
As far as the sessions went I was hoping the MultiLingual sites session was going to make me happy with some great news about [...]
