I see that Designer 2010 now opens a Formula dialog and offers up XPath functions rather than how in Sharepoint Designer 2007,  I was able to change the XSL value in the dataview to @FileRef by editing the "value of"

I have a document library and a dataview displaying the documents of the library thru a view.   My dataview columns are
Title | Description |    -  but these don't link to the document itself.  The behavior I want is clicking the title to open the pdf or word doc, etc. within the library.  (the name column is a link, but the filenames are not user friendly).
 
Could someone tell me how to render the Title column text as a hyperlink to the document?

We are using SharePoint 2007 for our Intranet and created a survey. When I check the surveys I see that they are not in order as the most current on top. Is there any way to fix this? I would like to have the most current survey response to the old response. Hope you can help.

Thanks

How do you tell which process to attach to from Visual Studio if you for some reason aren't able to just hit the magic 'f5' button?

Thanks!​

I added a custom property to my User Profile service. I configured it to pull the value from Active Directory.  It is populating the value to the user profile and I can verify this when I look at the profiles in Central Admin.

 

How do I get this property to show up on the Person.aspx page? You know, the page users see when they view a user profile?

​Hi Gary -

We have a Documents Library that contains lots of documents that are available to everyone in the company.  I'd like to make the process of downloading a copy as easy as possible (i.e. one mouse click).  Is there any way I can link the "Title" of a document with the action of the "Download a Copy" button in the ribbon?  I know that the "Name" field contains a link that allows users to edit the document (which we still want to allow), but I'd like to make the "Download" action work similar to the Edit action - only on the Title instead of the Name.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer -

Ken Stockton

This locks a content type form being able to delete needed columns or other settings which may have a requirement.
