May 16	comment	How to consume a custom sharepoint webservice service application from outside SharePoint You're deploying it as a custom service application .Now you can go to Central Administration->Application Management->Configure service application associations and assign your new proxy group to the web application. In the code, just use url of Web application to get your custom service application.
May 8	comment	Copying SharePoint 2010 farm to a different server TFS is a tool that has grown way beyond source control. It can surely be deployed to production to enter user stories, track progress, and run reports. But, SharePoint application development life cycle's core is to use automated TFS builds to perform automation with builds to QA and Production and generate TFS builds directly to those environments. But, performing SharePoint development on production is simply out of question, with and without source control; one must avoid it.

May 7	comment	sharepoint 2007 to 2010 list migration issue Ishan, could you please post the code for systedata.xml? Why don't you just upgrade the Product version from 3 to 4 in manifest.xml, if list templates are merely stp files?

Mar 10	comment	Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': The parent content type specified by content type identifier 0x0101 does not exist `OO` separator is required if the suffix being added to the ID is a `GUID` and to make it unique (agree with the fact being used by most of developers) but the `01` and `02` approach makes it much more simple to generate unique IDs in large scale development. I myself use `OO` in most of implementations but expect developers to know both :)

Jan 28	comment	Search Scope across multiple farms, Exam question 70 - 667 You can create multiple Search service applications if you have to have multiple search indexes. For example, if you want to segregate sensitive content, such as employee benefits information, into a separate index so that the content does not appear to users who do not have permission to that content, you can create a separate Search service application, which will have a separate index.

Jan 10	comment	Add script reference to all pages in a site collection when a feature is activated Delegate control is also an option to inject JS into a Master Page without editing it. This usually is doable with a delegate control with control id `AdditionalPageHead`
Jan 10	comment	Add script reference to all pages in a site collection when a feature is activated Just to elaborate more, this method requires an element file to inject the script into site. The source JavaScript can be either manually placed in appropriate location in the SharePoint farm or it can be deployed through a Module. The location attribute in CustomAction element should be set as `"ScriptLink"`. The sequence number attribute in CustomAction element decides the order in which the script has to be loaded into the page.
Jan 10	comment	Add script reference to all pages in a site collection when a feature is activated It's one of my fav approaches where you place the scripts without having to modify the pages or master pages, in real.
