Writing a Custom Web Service for SharePoint

Rajendra Rawat — Wed, 29 Jun 2005 00:28:00 GMT

While writing a custom web service for SPS, I got a "Debugging is not supported under current trust level settings“

setting <trust level="Full" originUrl="" /> in web.config got me thru

Also, While consuming this custom Web Service
I faced difficulty to add web reference as suggested in msdn article
(http://Server_name/_vti_bin/Service1.asmx) the add reference button was simply disabled
even though to support service virtualization I had both disco and wsdl aspx's in [right] place(_vti_bin)

As you know developing a custom Web service for a SharePoint server is different from creating a traditional ASP.NET Web service because of enhanced security model used by Windows SharePoint Services

MS Word - password protection vulnerabilty

Rajendra Rawat — Mon, 13 Jun 2005 19:07:00 GMT

this still worked in word 2003!!

Example 1
1) Open MS Word with a new/blank page
2) Now select "Insert" >> "File" & browse for your password protected doc
&
select "Insert" & "Insert" into your new/blank doc
3) Now select Tools >> & Whey hey, voila, there's no longer an "Unprotect
document" ... password vanished ...

Example 2
1) Open your password protected doc in MS Word i.e. you can't edit
protected fields (apparently)
2) Save as a Rich Text Format (RTF) & keep this RTF file open in MS Word
(YES, keep open)
3) Whilst your new RTF file is open in MS Word, go "File Open" & find your
newly saved RTF file & open (YES, you DO need to do 'tis even though you
already have it open)
4) If prompted to revert say YES, if not prompted stay calm. Now in your
MS Word menu go & "Unprotect Document", amazingly, voila, you don't get
prompted for a password

Beta2 product activation error

Rajendra Rawat — Thu, 21 Apr 2005 03:42:00 GMT

I tried to activate VC# 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 (several times), just after downloading it. But it just said

"We are unable to send your e-mail verification mail. An unknown error occurred while processing your request. This is most likely due to a connection failure. Please try again."

Is anybody facing the same problem?

Well, what ever it is...perhaps got to test this version before it expires :)
