For your convenience here are links to all my code samples: SharePoint Powershell Script to identify the patch baseline for SharePoint and language packsThis script retrieves the version information for […]
A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article which explains how to deal with memory pressure situations in MOSS/WSS. Roger Lamb has now created an article which discusses one of the issues – missing Dispose() or Close() for SPWeb, SPSite and PublishingWeb objects. When to dispose and when not to dispose can be confusing […]

The standard RobotsMetaTag control included in WSS generates the following tag: <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOHTMLINDEX”> Unfortunatelly most search engines do not understand the NOHTMLINDEX content […]
Some of our field controls shipped with MOSS show a quite ugly behaviour as they add an extra entry after the field. Means an extra space.
