Some simple BCS examples would be very useful; ones which do nothing complex from a LOB application perspective, just a simple text/xml/csv filestore or something, but something that demonstrates the BCS infrastructure. This is a great idea, I look forward to seeing the results!

A sample content type feature using managed metadata (Taxonomy - single and multi) fields that hooks to the managed meta data service in any farm you deploy it to. I had quite a time getting this to work to where it worked in any farm i deployed it to. Also, setting a default value for the fields in this same scenario. (Since the values are specific to the MM service because of the guid the service assigns to the values)

AJAX-enabled web part deployed as a part of a sandbox solution. Based on what I've seen, there doesn't appear to be anyway to put an update panel within a web part because the ScriptManager isn't available to web parts on a UserCodePage, though clearly it should be possible as the ScriptManager is on the base SharePoint v4 master page.

A Server -> Client example depicting the mirroring of a document library to a client machine using a thin .NET desktop client would be helpful. This does not need to depict full synchronization, but a one-way push to the client machine would be sufficient. Thank you, Brandon

Please provide sample code for modifying new lists or existing lists permissions. The challenge is that many document libraries are created which contain records which need to be accessed by specific employees and their direct managers. The name of the list contains the name of the employee. How can one identify this employee, assign access exclusive access to the list and then using AD, determine the employee's manager and grant them access as well. just a thought.

For the love of all that is good, please include a sample of how to implement an ISPDocumentParser. I'm wading through a lot of internet to try to figure this out, and it seems to be nearly impossible, and very poorly documented on the site. Thanks.

I agree with most of Juan's samples. But even more simple would be a good BCS example, something with Chart Webpart or Excel Services to show the BI side off a little more. Maybe a quick chart tied to a list?

Basic examples of common things we do with each service application. How to create a new service app of each type, how to connect to and view/edit properties, how to do some common tasks with each. Add some more code samples using Publishing namespace and capabilities - we do a lot of heavily publishing-leaning sites and find we need to dig hard for these types of code examples frequently.

Hello! -It would be great to have a web part example that includes changing the settings of the web part to include custom parameters. -use the model dialog, but open the page layout instead of the properties page for publishing content.

The new InifoPath form viewer web part has lots of potential to reduce the navigational drag imposed when IP web forms open in their own window. However information regarding methods to interact with this new web part via code are lacking. So is an understanding of the object model and methods that are exposed for customizing this interaction.

How does a user create a web part where they can specify to a Form Web Part what form and what view in the form will open from a given form library? How does one create a Submit method in the IP form that will submit back relative to the form library it is displayed from? We can "hard code" this data connection using the data connection wizard, but if this form web part is embedded in for example a site template, there is no good way to retrieve the URL from which the form is opened from. this is because the URL always references the InfoPath forms server rather than the form library from which the form was opened. How do we determine or pull what form library the form has been opened from when it appears in a form library web part? tx dave

We want to customize the existing sharepoint tree view control to concatenate columns (folder ID and name) to show. We developed a custom tree view control to do so but when we use it the performance of the site becomes very slow. When we take it off the performance is fine. Following are the columns on our document library:

IndexID
Type
Name
Version
Location of Original
Created By
Created
Modified By
Modified Out of this 9 columns we need to concatenate column (IndexID + Name) to show on the tree in a sorted form. Is there any way without compromising on the performance this can be done. Regards George Thomas
