Do you have a bank of prompts you copy/paste into the Cursor chat when you want to achieve a specific task? Maybe it's when you want to do a code review, maybe it's when you want it to write unit tests for some new code, maybe it's when you what it to add OpenAPI specification... Continue Reading →
What is sideloading an Outlook add-in? This is the process of installing a modern web-based add-in directly from an add-in manifest file rather than from the store (AppSource). Sideloading is a common practice for developers during the development and testing of their add-in. It can also be used for Enterprise applications which are developed in-house... Continue Reading →

Lets start with a little bit of history, the year was 2008, Windows PCs and Microsoft Office had been entrenched throughout organizations around the globe. We saved all our files on a network drive (if we were smart), or SharePoint if we were really smart and had a dedicated engineer that could keep up with... Continue Reading →
Very handy tool that developers and admins can add to their toolbag. Similar to the SharePoint Manager 2010/2013 tool that has been a great resource for many years now. SharePoint Client Browser has the added benefit of supporting different credentials modes, remote SharePoint Sites and handy PowerShell integration.
Finally after 2 months I decided to build the 1.0 version of SharePoint Client Browser and released it to the community! Although the preview (beta) status did not prevent people from downloading it. The counter is currently set at 555 downloads since start of the project on the 2nd of July (only 2 months ago).

So what got changed? I guess almost everything changed from authentication support for default (username and password), SharePoint Online, anonymous and forms based all the way to almost complete coverage of the Client Side Object Model (CSOM). That’s a bit over the top, but the basics for Foundation are in the tool. New capabilities for future releases will focus on Server components like taxonomy.
A hidden gem is the PowerShell support. It’s very easy to start a PowerShell session and use…
