We completed and published the SharePoint VSeWSS Import tool. This tool is an add-in to Visual Studio 2010 and it adds a new SharePoint project template for importing a VSeWSS project.

VSeWSS or the Visual Studio 2008 extensions for Windows SharePoint Services are the Microsoft tools for creating SharePoint 2007 projects on Visual Studio 2008. In Visual Studio 2010 we have built in tools for creating SharePoint 2010 projects. This import tool takes a VSeWSS project that is targetted at SharePoint 2007 and migrates it to Visual Studio 2010 where it is targetted at SharePoint 2010.

The import tool is distributed as source code so you will need to compile it before using it. There’s a batch file provided for this and you just need Visual Studio 2010 installed and to run the batch file.

The import tool works at the project level, not the solution level. So if you have a solution with multiple projects you will need to import them one by one and get them all going.

I am trying to Create a website for work, and I would like to use CSS to change the layout of the page, and appearance, but I can not find out how to link my CSS script to Sharepoint. if anyone knows anything about CSS and Sharepoint 2010, can you please help me? thank you in advance.

Chosen Answer:

Use should use SharePoint Designer. This utility makes it incredibly easy. Here is a Google thread that you can peruse, but most (in spite of the search terms) discuss using PowerPoint to create a theme and import that theme into SharePoint. The thread:

I have ms office sharepoint portal server 2003 and office 2007. When I click import contacts from outlook 07 I get a message stating:
To import contacts, you must have an address book compatible with windows sharepoint services and you must have internet explorer 5.0 or greater.

It is a VBS script error.

I have IE 6.0 and I need to find a patch or workaround for reverse compatibility between office 2007 and sharepoint 03.

Any ideas?

Chosen Answer:

To be honest, I’d consider forgetting sharepoint altogether. I used to use it, but I kept having issues with it and it cost me wayy too much. There are some great alternatives out there. I started using hyperoffice and it been a great solution. Best of luck with your compatibility issues!

I Have 2 public calendar.. i want to merge this two calendar and show it in my sharepoint calendar.. and also the modifications done in my sharepoint calendar should be reflected to its corresponding public calendar..

Chosen Answer:

Import one calendar into the other allowing for duplicates. Then, manually compare and clean up. You can export that merged calendar to sharepoint. Make sure that you maintain only one – the right one – going forward.

Before doing any of this, make a backup. Remember that some differences cannot be reconciled automatically.

The Sharepoint document library is running off of a MS Small Business Server 2003. It is full of Word documents (order forms), with fields inside the documents. I am looking to extract information from the fields in those Word documents and import that data into a MySQL database. If that is not possible, is there a simple way to install a search function into Sharepoint? Thanks for your help.

Chosen Answer:

If your looking for a straight up code from me to do this, that’s not what your going to get.

Is it possible?

Absolutely, you probably need to write the code to extract what you want, make it into a easy to use function. I would continue looking on the internet, because looking for a answer on yahoo answers for something so specific would be very rare to have somebody give you the actual code. But if you do get it, then thats great. good luck.
