Subsites are incredibly useful in all the following scenarios
This site has a different function from the main site.
Assuming you are talking about an internal portal, generally you would want your helpdesk and your social committees to have their own subsite each. Because their information will almost never be relevant to each other, and they are both ...

Yes, sitemanager.aspx looks more SP2007-like, but you cannot specify the default master page because it does not use a master page at all. If you look at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\SiteManager.aspx you will see no master page in the Page directive and no ContentPlaceHolders on the page.

The Site Definitions are not examined when rendering a page but during provisioning.
For a detailed explanation of the rendering see the link provided by @Moss Farmer, but let me give a shorter version here.
Application pages (from _layouts)
Application pages are just ordinary ASP.NET pages which are rendered from a virtual directory.

Ok, consider we have this environment:
We have farm-level WSP file (this also could be sandboxed in this situation, but for clarity, let's consider it is a farm one).
This WSP contains some lists and libraries definitions/instances, and also some visual webparts.
Also, WSP file contains at least one feature in it.
This WSP is added into your farm, deployed ...

I just created a fresh site collection with a standard team site template (that has a Shared Documents library by default ).
I used the following code and got the results listed below:
$web = Get-SPWeb http://spdevsp01/sites/test
$lists = $web.lists
foreach ($list in $lists)
{
if ( $list.BaseType -eq 'DocumentLibrary')
{
write-host $list.title

You can find the correct template and use it in code like this (templateName is the title of your saved template, locale is the locale ID of the template):
// Find correct template
SPWebTemplateCollection templates =
SPContext.Current.Site.GetWebTemplates(Convert.ToUInt32(locale)); // or GetAvailableWebTemplates or GetCustomWebTemplates
SPWebTemplate ...

To clarify SharePoint's permission behaviour:
Sites collections contain the people (users, AD groups) and groups (SharePoint groups) that are available for all sites within the site collection. The idea is a site collection contains sites that have some overlap in user membership or business function. They are a collection of like-minded sites (in some ...

The OOTB master page uses the ~site token as the URL to surround the site logo, just change this to ~sitecollection/ (the trailing slash is necessary) or even / depending on your particular requirements.
In v4.master the section to change is at line 297 and should wind up looking something like:
<SharePoint:SPLinkButton runat="server" ...

SPSite.RootWeb is the object you're after, in server side code ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsite.rootweb.aspx).
SP.Site.get_rootWeb() in client object model code ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee552834.aspx).

The LCID number is wrong (the fourth parameter), it should be one of this list instead than 123:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/goglobal/bb964664.aspx
The US-English is 1033.
Remember also that if you try to create sites with a non administrator user you should use RunWithElevatedPrivileges method.

There is no easy way to do it :)
First, take the back up your SharePoint Content database (which contains the site) and restore it to my SharePoint 2010 DB server. But, before you take db back up, your MOSS 2007 must be on SP2
1) Find the content Database; These are listed under Central Admin->Application Management->Site Collection List
2) Backup the ...

Not really, if the user is going to be creating and managing permissions, then that comes with the territory. Full Control grants this right so being listed as such gives them the trust that the permissions changes they are doing are desirable.
If you're really that concerned, then give her Contribute or Design rights on the site and manage the security ...

You need to create manifest.xml:

For a single site (SPWeb) try using the content migration APIs. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms453426.aspx

SPExportSettings settings = new SPExportSettings();

If you really really want to duplicate your SharePoint data twice then you can do something like this,
private IEnumerable<SPFile> AddDocuments()
{
using(SPSite site = new site(URL Of Your Parent Site goes here))
using(SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
foreach(SPWeb subweb in web.Webs)
{
foreach(SPList oList in ...

If you want to have a specific user be able to delete users posts then you will need to give them Manage Social Data permissions on your User Profile Service application.
Go to Service Applications - highlight the user profile service and click Administrators from the ribbon. Add a user account and select Manage Social Data from the permissions list.

Open the feature that includes the project item and expand the files node on the project item to verify the files that are included with the item. I suspect that your elements file will not be displayed. You need open the properties for the elements file (open the file and click F4), and make sure that the type on the file is set to "ElementManifest".

It's definitely an "it depends" question. I will say the numbers you are throwing out are well within (...by several orders of magnitude) the boundary guidelines provided by Microsoft:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspx
If you're concerned about sprawl put some sort of site provisioning/de-provisioning capability in place. It could ...

You can set the site collection to Read-Only from CA, so it is possible that someone did this:
CA > Application Management > Site Collections section > Configure
Quotas and Locks > Select site collection > check if it is set to Read
Only
I think its default that site collections are set to read only during backup, so maybe you have a failed backup ...

Here are some popular blog posts I wrote in the past:
SharePoint Site Topology Planning
Site Topology Planing and Taxonomies
I believe they are still helpful and relevant.

The OOB way to do this is to lock the site through Central Administration > Site Collections > Configure Quotas and Locks > Site Lock Information
Here you can either
Not locked to unlock the site collection and make it available to
users.
Adding content prevented to prevent users from adding new content to
the site collection. Updates and deletions are ...

I think you should specify if "by site" you mean actually a sub-site as in SPWeb or a site collection, as in SPSite. If a Site Collection, simply Lock-it by setting it to Read Only, which shall be valid across the whole site Collection (no edits though, for Site Collection Admin neither).
If you are more in the 2nd situation, where a business need requires ...

Try using Check Permissions in Permissions Management Page at List level and Item Level. Try checking the two users and another who can see the items to ensure they all have the same permissions.
You can also look what values has the list item-level permissions at List Configuration -> Advanced settings.

I've managed to make this work by using the InfoPath userName() function then passing the value back to my workflow with the extended properties of the task the opened form is associated to.
Not sure if this is the best (only?) way, but it works.
Just one thing to be aware of. Some fields in the external properties are GUIDs so you might need the ...

NOTE: This solution doesn't work for Site workflows
You can use this code snippet (Get current user in workflow sharepoint context (C#))

Instead of "Sfera.wsp", it should be the name of the Template. Now, the name of the Template is in the following format:
"{FeatureID}#TemplateTitle"
Where FeatureID is the Id of the feature which is deploying your site template and TemplateTitle is the specified Title of the Template.
Example:
SPWeb newSite = site.AllWebs.Add("RELATIVE", "TITOLO", ...

Chris maybe you have deleted the file. Since it is an application file you have to repair your sharepoint installation to resolve that. Or you can just go to another server running sharepoint copy the file Welcome.ascx and paste it in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\template\controltemplates (considering a default path ...

I'm not 100% sure which users should be allowed to do what, but if you need to give difference Controllers control of difference list items then you could look at Setting item level security in an eventhandler

You haven't created a site outside a site collection, that's imposible. What you have is the Root site of the site collection which is at the root of your web application.
You must have a site collection at the root of your web application for your SharePoint to be in Supported state.
You can't delete the Root Site of a Site Collection. If you want to ...

Run the following code in your C# Console Application and you'll get the listing all your sub-sites with their respective site definitions

foreach (SPWeb web in webs)
