Encrypting Web.Config using RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider in SharePoint Using C#

Encrypting Web.Config Values Overview: One of the most common uses of the protected configuration is to encrypt connection strings in web.confg (that's one of the reasons for creating a separate tag for connection strings instead of adding it in appSettings tag). Adding this connection string as plain text is not the best practice for sharepoint web application security and this might cause serious hacking problems. Sharepoint also support for encrypting and decrypting configuration sections in web.config file. In this article, we will explore how to encrypt and decrypt sections of the web.config. We can encrypt the configuration sections by using two built-in providers: DPAPI (Windows Data Protection API) Provider or the RSA provider . The RSA provider (default) uses an RSA key which holds public and private keys, where as the DPAPI provider uses built-in machine-specific key.

Export/Import a sharepoint list/document library

Content Import/Export: The Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment APIs in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 provide a flexible set of tools for migrating content between Windows SharePoint Services Web sites. Windows SharePoint Services uses the concept of the content migration package, which can include either single or multiple XML files, and then provides a flexible set of APIs to enable exporting and importing the migration packages. The content import/export feature of the deployment object model allows you to export not only Web site content but also existing dependencies, like security features, user roles, versioning data, workflows, and other metadata.

Add Code Block in Blogs

If you want to put some HTML, JavaScript or code of any programming language in your blogger blog posts then entering that as a simple text will mix it with plain text and that would be pretty hard for readers to differentiate between plain text and code block. To make the code look different from plain text you need to highlight code block. We can use SyntaxHighlighter tool to insert colored code snippets on a web page using client-side javascript only. This tool is useful for users of BLOGGER because we do not have server side resource to parse and highlight the code. For implementing this tool on blooger/blogspot site, we need to do some changes in the template of blog. Below are the steps to setup: 1. Take the backup of existing template. 2. Download the files from SyntaxHighlighter . 3. Now extract the contents of the package and upload the Scripts and Styles folder to any host or website which can be linked from your blog.A free choice is, of course, Google Docs . 4. Login to

When is the workflow done connected to a SharePoint List or Document Library. This is by building and attaching aSharePoint Association Form which allows the Administrator, or a user, who connects the workflow to a SharePoint List, to set “default” values and behavior for the workflow. Just workflow is before the prompt the user started, which gives the developer an opportunity to for information that might be needed at the start of the workflow and/or give the user an opportunity to override the default values defined via the Association Form. This is done by providing the user with a custom Instantiation/Initiation form At running anytime during a workflow, by providing a Modification form By assigning users Tasks (think” Outlook Tasks”
