Fix to Report viewer problems in IIS 7 or later

When we migrate web applications from IIS 6 to IIS 7 or IIS 7.5, we will face some problems in http handlers, mappings etc. I faced some problems with reportviewer control. So, below are all problems I have faced and solutions to them. And one more thing is, the server to which we migrated the application may or may not have all the report viewer dlls available in the system. If they didn't install then we need to install them. Otherwise you will get compilation error as we are using that in our application.

First of all, before proceed what are the dlls needed for the report viewer to run?
Microsoft.reportviewer.common.dll
Microsoft.reportviewer.processingobject.dll
Microsoft.reportviewer.webforms.dll
Microsoft.reportviewer.winforms.dll - For windows applications.

Fix for Not able to connect to SharePoint 2010 server web sites through Visual Studio 2010

Today, I started working on SharePoint 2010 server side object model to delete all the files from the document library using batch command. I have written all the code but, I failed to connect to the web site using SPSite class. I tried all combination like with server name, ip address and many more. Always I am getting the exception that "not able to connect to SharePoint site".
This is the actual exception :
"The Web application at http://nb16 could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application."

SharePoint 2010 Silverlight Client Object Model - How to use

As part of the introduction series, I want to present the advantage of the client object model introduced in SharePoint 2010. There are great advantages with this model as it don't require SharePoint needs to be installed on the client machine. We just need to refer the client dlls which Microsoft SharePoint provides and based on them we will write code to communicate with SharePoint server. In this article we will go through Silverlight Client Object Model. If you want to know the other client object model types go here. ECMAScript and Managed client object models.

To communicate with the SharePoint server in Silverlight context we need to give two client SharePoint DLL references to the silver light project.

SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model - Managed Client OM - How to use

After I have written nice posts on complete details on Client Object Model and ECMAScript introduction planned to write introduction posts on Managed Client OM and Silverlight Client OM. So, in this post, we will discuss on Managed Client Object Model.

So, Managed Client Object Model is simple .NET code written based on CLR. So, you can use C#.net or VB.net to write code and execute whatever you want against SharePoint server.So, you can use any c# project to write code and run it. But, are there any prerequisites to write code? Do we need to follow some rules or process?

First, to write client side code, we need SharePoint libraries which has all the methods and classes to communicate with the SharePoint server. For this reason Microsoft SharePoint 2010 provides us the client side dll's to write Managed code. Below are the details.
DLL's needed: Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll. Find these files in the 14/ISAPI folder. Usually, the location would be at "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\ISAPI".

SharePoint 2010 LoadQuery Vs Load Methods

In SharePoint 2010 we can speak about a year continuously about the new features and APIs. They have included plenty of things and should be made developer life easy!!!
Here is a nice concept I want to tell to my readers about what is the difference between the load() and loadQuery() methods. The main definition both will use to load the data or objects you want from the SharePoint server. Then where is the difference?

To reduce the confusion, first, we will discuss these in the Managed Client OM [C#].
1. Difference in syntax:
Managed Client object model supports two types of syntax in data retrieval process. One is Query syntax [Linq] and another is Method Syntax.
