SharePoint Saturday: Indianapolis - Post Conference

So, I had the pleasure of presenting the topic of "Introduction to the SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model" at SharePoint Saturday in Indianapolis. This is the 2nd time of covering this topic after the Paul Stubbs covered the topic at the 2009 SharePoint Conference.

As promised, I put up my two applications on my SharePoint Developer SIG site, nSpin.net. You can download both projects in one zip file using this link.

The two projects are:

- Console application - demonstrates using .NET CLR to grab and then update SharePoint data using Client Object Model

- Web Application Page - demonstrates using ECMAScript (JavaScript) to grab data and have a JavaScript alert.

- Web Application Page - demonstrates using ECMAScript (JavaScript) to grab data from an Announcements list and populate a jQuery sortable list


For these projects, you will Need:

- Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2
- SharePoint 2010 Site running
- Annoucements (or other list you configure in code)


Cheers!

Hyper-V Virtual Machines: Wireless Connection: Receives IP: Cannot Browse Internet

Ever since I've converted my laptop into a Windows 2008 R2 workstation, I've had issues with some wireless networks where my Virtual Machines receive an IP Address, Gateway and DNS servers, but could not browse Internal or External Web Sites.

The Problem? DNS Servers.

For whatever reason, the Internal DNS Servers that are getting assigned to my Virtual Machine are not able to resolve web sites like Google.com. So, I edited the properties of my connection (in the Virtual Machine) and put in static DNS servers like the Level 3 DNS Servers:

- 4.2.2.1
- 4.2.2.2

The issue seems to be that the IP Address that my Virtual Machine was getting assigned was a different IP Address Schema than the main network (and Internal DNS servers). So, while my VM was 10.8.8.24, the DNS server was 10.4.4.10. Normally, the host machine still works fine with this setup, but the Hyper-V VM cannot deal with this setup.

My setup for my laptop is Windows 2008 R2 (x64) (Host OS) running Hyper-V Virtual Machines that are all (x64) bit.

Hope that helps you (if you needed it).

Cheers.
