Creating a timer job in SharePoint 2007


For the project I’m working for the moment i needed a document library with contracts. The contracts have an end date and an email alert needed to be send when this end date was received. After exploring the possibility to used a work flow created in SharePoint Designer, i abounded the idea and set looked at creating a timer job. This timer job needed to run once a day, check the contracts end date and send alerts when needed.
Handy links where:
But the most useful link I found was by Alexander Brütt (blog by Tobias Hertkorn). Onthis page you can download a fully functioning Visual Studio Template to create a SharePoint timer job and to get a deployable .wsp file after building the project.There’s even a *.bat file to deploy the solution. Nice!
I’ve created this *.bat file to easily uninstall the feature and solution when testing:
stsadm -o deactivatefeature -name customTimerjob -url http://DEVMOSS/
stsadm -o uninstallfeature -name customTimerjob
stsadm -o retractsolution -name customTimerjob.wsp -immediate
stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs
stsadm -o deletesolution -name customTimerjob.wsp
pause

Custom Form Base Login Web Part With Sharepoint 2010

In my  Last Post , I talked about creating a Form based authentication web application with Active Directory LDAP. After implementing that you have surely noticed that, when you try to sign in after creating a site collection from FBA web application, you get the following sign in page: Surely, it does not look pretty at all. So, you might want to change this default login page. In order to do this, first let us create an empty SharePoint project in Visual Studio 2010. After that, add an application page by right click-selecting “Add New Item” and you will get like the following window in Solution Explorer: Notice that, when you add any application page to your project, Visual Studio automatically creates a Layouts  folder.
