Add an assembly to your Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint Package

If you are familiar with WSP-builder for development with SharePoint 2007, the way of adding assemblies to your SharePoint 2010 project is a little different. You always start with an empty SharePoint project. From here you can add other items. In WSP-builder you had the bin and GAC folder in Visual Studio.


To add an assembly to your Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint Package (SharePoint 2010)

1.Open you Package.package file.
2.On the bottom of the window you can choose: Design | Advanced | Manifest
3.Choose Advanced




You can choose for an existing assembly or the output assembly of your project.

















You can deploy the assembly to the GAC (C:\Windows\Assembly - The Global Assembly Cache, full trusted) or the WebApplication (actually the Bin Folder of your WebApplication in your InetPub folder of your WebServer).

Customize the OOB list menus in SharePoint 2007 lists

Here is the solution

Sharepoint Customization using java script

We have a list, but we want to hide some of the fields from being displayed in the edit or new item screens. By default when you create a list and add columns, you can hide columns via custom views, but when you create or edit an item you get the lot, whether you like it or not.
Here is the WorkAround :
function getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle(tagName, identifier, title)
{
var len = identifier.length;
var tags = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
for (var i=0; i < tags.length; i++)
{
var tempString = tags[i].id;
if (tags[i].title == title && (identifier == "" tempString.indexOf(identifier) == tempString.length - len))
{
return tags[i];
}
}
return null;
}

(script language="javascript" type="text/javascript")
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("hideFields");
function hideFields()
{
var control = getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("Input","TextField","Serial Number");
control.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.style.display="none";
}
(/script)
