    Mocking SPContext.Current with JustMock

    Today, I happen to find an interesting post on mocking SharePoint context using TypeMock. Being a JustMocker, i thought rather to follow the footsteps and see if can do the same with JustMock. I am no SharePoint expert. Occasionally, I use a Windows 2003 VM with SharePoint server installed which gives me the required flavor of SharePoint for testing  SP capabilities of JM. Anyway, here is the original post that i am going to recycle using JustMock. http://meronymy.blogspot.com/2010/09/mocking-spcontextcurrent-with-typemock.html   The scenario here is pretty simple. There is a method that returns an URL from the current SPContext which i am going to mock in order...

    Changing the Ports TeamPulse Uses

    By default TeamPulse makes use of ports 9897, 9898, and 9899 for access to the User Management, TeamPulse, and Integration sites and services. In some cases those ports may be in use by another application, or otherwise restricted within your environment, making it necessary for a change to these defaults. With TeamPulse SP1 it's a fairly simple task to change the ports via modifications to a couple of configuration files, which we will show below. We do recommend, however, that anyone uncomfortable with editing config files have their system administrator help to make these changes.   Part 1: IIS Configuration...

    Building a Data Warehouse Part I: When to build your data warehouse

    [repost from Stephen Forte`s Blog] Most developers are scared of “Business Intelligence” or BI. Most think that BI consists of cubes, pivot/drill down apps, and analytical decision support systems. While those are very typical outcomes of a BI effort, many people forget about the first step, the data warehouse. Typically this is what happens with a BI effort. A system is built, usually a system that deals with transactions. We call this an OLTP or on-line transaction processing system. Some time passes and reports are bolted on and some business analysts build some pivot tables from “raw dumps” of data. As the system grows, reports start to slow...

    Integrating with TeamPulse

    Note: A successor to this blog post has been written focusing on authenticating to the data service. You can read it here. Because TeamPulse makes it very easy to enter and track information regarding your project, users will find that they very quickly will have a large repository of valuable information in the TeamPulse data store.  Due to the complex and integrated nature of most teams, rarely does information stay within one repository.  It often needs to be digested and shared in many different ways and to many different people. Although TeamPulse has a rich visual aggregation of information ...
