Office 365, SharePoint, Azure, OnePlace Solutions & Life's Other Little Wonders
Over the years, I’ve come to rely heavily on Microsoft To Do as my daily task manager. It’s simple, it syncs across devices, and it integrates nicely with the rest of Microsoft 365. But like many tools we use every day, it has its limits—and I recently ran headfirst into one. I had accumulated thousands... Continue Reading →
It has been an amazing and rewarding week for me as Microsoft MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) and RDs (Regional Directors) travelled from all corners of the world to gather at the Microsoft Redmond Campus for an intense week of knowledge sharing, direct engagement with product teams and Microsoft leadership, providing feedback, sharing vision and discussing...

The reason I wanted this... Continue Reading →
So you've developed your application using the Microsoft Graph SDK, you are making calls to the Graph API and things are looking great. Being an awesome developer, you want to make sure that your application can handle any errors that the Graph API might throw at you. The first challenge is trying to figure out... Continue Reading →
Developing and testing your error handling code is really important to ensure the end product is resilient. I've always found this area to be a bit of a minefield when developing against SharePoint and more recently the Microsoft Graph API. I usually resort to using some software that intercepts the calls being made (e.g. Fiddler)... Continue Reading →
