Part 1 – Identifying Use Cases – Use Case Diagrams Recently I went through OOAD and UML training. The OOAD and UML tutorial was very impressive and I decided to share it with you. Object Oriented Analysis & Design and Unified Modelling Language is very important in a life cycle of a project. Previously I was involved in project requirement study and technical design. But this time, I learned the tricks of the trade. I discovered different tips for identifying Use Cases, Actors and Classes . In this series of posts, I am planning to take you through the process of involvement of UML in Requirement analysis and Design phase. This series will include 3 parts... Part 1. Identifying Use Cases – Use Case Diagrams Part 2. Realizing Use Cases – Sequence Diagrams Part 3. Identifying Classes – Class Diagrams For this purpose we will take commonly available sample requirement – Student Registration process. From this requirement we will identify the ACTORS and US...

In my last post I had mentioned about custom actions locations and IDs. In this post you will see how to add a custom action to Central Administration's Application Management. For this we need to add 'Module' to VS 2010 SharePoint project. You can delete the text file which gets created by default when you create module. Now in the Elements.xml file add the below xml code. This will add a custom action under Web Applications which is under Application Management. You can see 'People Editor Settings' menu under Application Management->Web Applications - Vighnesh Bendre

Following are the custom action Locations and IDs for SharePoint 2010. This list will help you in putting an application page or administration page in Central Administration (CA) or site settings.

You would get this error after configuring a list which uses External Content Type (created using SharePoint Designer or VS 2010). Now you must be wondering when ECT and the list is created with the same login id, why should one get access denied error. When you create a new list which uses the ECT, it gives Access Denied error But there is one more step before you use the ECT in a list. In Business Data Connectivity Service in Central Administration we need to set object permission for the ECT. 1. Open CA, navigate to click on ‘Manage Service Applications’ under ‘Application Management’. 2. Click on ‘Business Data Connectivity Service’ 3. Select the ECT you are looking for 4. Click on ‘Set Object Permissions’ on the ribbon, In BDC service application, select the ECT and click on 'Set Object Permissions' in the ribbon 5. Enter the user name you want to give permission to, Click on Add 6. Select permissions for the selected user and click OK. In the set object permissions popup,...

In this example, we are going to format a column based on certain condition. Here I already have a list called Projects. I also have workflow associated with it. So whenever I create a new item in the list, workflow status column shows ‘In Progress’. Subsequently when the workflow in completed, the workflow status column shows ‘Completed’. For demonstration purpose, I will set the background color of workflow status column to yellow when the status is ‘In Progress’ and to green when the status is ‘Completed’. In SharePoint Designer open the site on which you are working. Click on ‘Lists and Libraries’ link. Choose the ‘Projects’ list. In SharePoint Designer Navigation, choose ‘Lists and Libraries’. In the list settings page, click on ‘New’ in ‘Views’ section. Provide appropriate name for the view and click OK. After choosing list, click on ‘New’ in the Views section. Give appropriate name to the list. Now click on any column, then in the ribbon, click on List View Tools-...
