HTML Viewer and MOSS 2007

Some of you already know that SharePoint 2003 (and WSS v2) provide a functionnality which convert Office document on HTML page for client which has not Office installed. This function is called HTML Viewer and need to be downloaded as an add-on. Now, if you check on MOSS/WSS v3, you still have the capablity to manage this function (like in SPS 2003). However, the download for HTML Viewer currently available DOESN'T WORK with MOSS/WSS v3. Mainly, this is due to some security issue found after the realease and for some other part for the new code used by MOSS. Actually, the product group doesn't plan to release a newer version of HTML Viewer which can works with MOSS. Seamily, due to a very low usage (counted thanks to the number of download for HTML Viewer) of HTML Viewer in SPS 2003. So, if you plan to use this functionnality, you have to wait for third party or news for the product group.

NHibernate and Sharepoint 2007

NHibernate and Sharepoint 2007

Sharepoint webpart that uses NHibernate to do Database operations.

It was a hard task, spent 2 days fixing deployment errors and assemblies dependencies.

At the end it worked :)

Make sure:

- Hibernate mapping file build action is embedded resource

- Use NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle not NHibernate.ByteCode.LinFu (I donno why!)

- hibernate.cfg.xml and NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle.dll should be in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\bin

- NHibernate required libraries put them in the GAC C:\WINDOWS\assembly
