The 8th of March: Happy holiday to women throughout the World!

Greetings, ladies!

In The Netherlands they don't celebrate it. Obviously it's popular only in the "post-communist" countries. Anyway, it's a nice tradition.

Nothing special these days. After solving the issue with the Web Service, InfoPath Forms Services, MOSS and Forms Authentication got involved in another project. By the way, developers, take in mind this article if you are going to host the InfoPath Environment. It's very useful to know that you can interact programmatically with the underlying xml form from your custom application.

I have two new tasks: to customize the HTML rendered by Content Query Web Part and import MOSS profile information for 1500 users defined in Excel file. Deadline for the first task: next Thursday. I think I'll get ready with both tomorrow :)

The Content Query Web Part is one of the cooliest things I've seen in SharePoint so far. It allows you to pull information from any source within your site collection and later define how it is displayed.

To change the "look & feel" you need to "touch" some files(ItemStyle) placed in The Style library and configure(intuitively) a few XSL transformations. Invest 20 minutes in this article also. It can save you hours later. I think this is really a powerful web part - "get the information and display it as you like for seconds".

Tot morgen!

What is the women's holiday today? Obviously we don't celebrate it here. I like your chess post. I can tell how seriously it is taken. Kind of like football in the U.S.A.
Your job sounds like Greek to me......or is it Dutch, or maybe Bulgarian? :-)

:-) Yes, our job is pretty strange.

Victoria, what did you mean by "I can tell how seriously it is taken. Kind of like football in the U.S.A."? It is not seriously taken? Right?

Oh, no.......football is taken very seriously. American football that is. Not the soccer football in Europe. Super Bowl Sunday is practically a holiday here.
