2) Goto Tools>Options>Environment>Add In Security
You will see a checkbox with “allow add in components to load” .Just uncheck it. Restart the IDE and check the lightning speed of the IDE now…

RoboCopy Synch 2 Folders, Copy newer files between 2 dirs
Not true mirroring but its a good way to synch up a source a destination for newer files, new files and dirs, robocopy command line below:
@ECHO OFF
SET source="C:\Work"
SET dest="\\Server\Work"
ECHO ****************START %DATE% %TIME% synch
ECHO Two way mirror between source: %source% and destination: %dest%, continue?
ECHO synch excluding older file, This should preserve newer copy exist in both locations
ECHO ******* Start source to dest
robocopy %source% %dest% /E /DST /FFT /XO /XJ /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10 /NDL /NJH /NJS
ECHO ******* Start dest to source
robocopy %dest% %source% /E /DST /FFT /XO /XJ /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10 /NDL /NJH /NJS
ECHO ****************DONE %DATE% %TIME% synch

Outlook Calendar to GMail Calendar 2-way synch
Very cool tool to synch google to outlook calendars, this was the only 2way synch freware I found, Im sure it wont last as free so get it while U can and donate if U like:
Download Calendar Sync here
Once downloaded open the window to config, and voila ur Calendars are in synch!
Configure Outlook 2010 (other vers to come) to use GMail, GCalndar, and custom Domain send from
Here are articles I found helpful in setting up Outlook to use Gmail email, calendar and custom domain send to:
1. Gmail Setup via IMAP
2. SetUp custom Domain to send email, in my case namescheap @jrdtechnologies.net
Outlook ignores the Gmail "Send As" thus U will need to do this.
3. Import Google Calendar into Outlook
4. *** NOTE ** to prevent Duplicate Sent items from showing up in Sent items be sure to set "Do not save copies..." on Sent Items tab,m see #4 below
to make outlook send email as your custom domain, use the following config:
1. Set custom domain as default
2. then config Send/Receive for that custom domain to not Recieve,
3. Then on create new email, email is sent from @jardtechnologies.net not @gmail.com!
4. Set this to prevent dups:

If u see the following error when creating a gmail account in Outlook :

Detect SharePoint Version using JavaScript:
There is a JS objetc called _spPageContextInfo on that type U can use .webUIVersion property.
In SP 2010, it will return 4, in 2013 it will probably return 15. 2007 might not return anything or throw undefined.
This allows us to determine SP version from JS :
SP 2010 Example:

SharePoint Calculated Field: Extract Email UserName and domain from an email field
If you have a need to extract name and/or domain from an email column, here's how to do it in SharePoint
Go to library settins, add a new text email column via 'Create Column', call it Email,
Go to library settings again, here we are going to add 2 new columns:
Create a new calculated column called "Name" and type in this formula
=LEFT([Email], Int(FIND("@",[Email])-1))
Like So:
Create a new calculated column called "Domain" and use this formula
=RIGHT([Email],LEN([Email])-INT(FIND("@",[Email])))
We now will have:
===========================================================
| Email | Name | Domain |
===========================================================
| Jason@att.com | Jason | att.com |
| HelloJason@ms.com | HelloJason | ms.com |

sqlcmed and osql locations on Windows for SQL 2012 and above
FYI, MS did it again and moved the location of the SQL tools to here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn
in it we can find:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\OSQL.EXE"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE"
with these we can run .sql files using following format for cmd, then put the cmd in a Task Scheduler and we have a quick and easy periodic SQL polling service,
e.g:
sqlcmd.exe -S MyServer.com -d Dbname -U UID-P "SomePWD" -i "C:\Temp\Run.sql"
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn
in it we can find:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\OSQL.EXE"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.EXE"
with these we can run .sql files using following format for cmd, then put the cmd in a Task Scheduler and we have a quick and easy periodic SQL polling service,

SQL Backup then Robo Copy
1. Create sproc to backup db's with compression, copy only options.
See THIS LINK for awesomness script
Backup MyDatabase to a local folder 'E:\SQLBackUp\':
exec [master].[dbo].[sp_BackUpDatabases] 'E:\SQLBackUp\', 'MyDatabase', @backUpType = 0, @COPY_ONLY = 1, @COMPRESSION = 1
2. Create WindowsTask/AgentJob to execute a robo copy of the .bak files to a network share:
-- copy with eta, retries, top level folder
ROBOCOPY E:\SQLBackUp\ \\Server01\sqlbackup\Prod\ *.bak /MOV /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10 /LEV:1
-- Other robo copy examples
-- copy with eta, retries
robocopy I:\Pictures\_Monkeys\ \\doylecloud\Public\BB\Pictures\_Monkeys\ /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10
-- copy with eta, retries
robocopy I:\Pictures\ \\doylecloud\Public\BB\Pictures\ /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10
-- copy with eta, retries
robocopy I:\Pictures\_Monkeys\ \\doylecloud\Public\BB\Pictures\_Monkeys\ /S /MT /Z
-- copy with eta, retries
robocopy I:\ \\doylecloud\Public\ /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10 /Z /XD "I:\BB_HD" "I:\Pictures" "I:\PassportInstalls"
3. To make life most easy create a SQL Agent Job,
Step 1 is exec [master].[dbo].[sp_BackUpDatabases] 'E:\SQLBackUp\', 'MyDatabase', @backUpType = 0, @COPY_ONLY = 1, @COMPRESSION = 1
See THIS LINK for awesomness script
Backup MyDatabase to a local folder 'E:\SQLBackUp\':
exec [master].[dbo].[sp_BackUpDatabases] 'E:\SQLBackUp\', 'MyDatabase', @backUpType = 0, @COPY_ONLY = 1, @COMPRESSION = 1
2. Create WindowsTask/AgentJob to execute a robo copy of the .bak files to a network share:
Move 'E:\SQLBackUp\MyDatabase.bak' to network share '\\Server01\sqlbackup\Prod\ '
-- copy with eta, retries, top level folder
ROBOCOPY E:\SQLBackUp\ \\Server01\sqlbackup\Prod\ *.bak /MOV /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10 /LEV:1
-- Other robo copy examples
-- copy with eta, retries
robocopy I:\Pictures\_Monkeys\ \\doylecloud\Public\BB\Pictures\_Monkeys\ /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10
-- copy with eta, retries
robocopy I:\Pictures\ \\doylecloud\Public\BB\Pictures\ /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10
-- copy with eta, retries
robocopy I:\Pictures\_Monkeys\ \\doylecloud\Public\BB\Pictures\_Monkeys\ /S /MT /Z
-- copy with eta, retries
robocopy I:\ \\doylecloud\Public\ /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10 /Z /XD "I:\BB_HD" "I:\Pictures" "I:\PassportInstalls"
3. To make life most easy create a SQL Agent Job,
Step 1 is exec [master].[dbo].[sp_BackUpDatabases] 'E:\SQLBackUp\', 'MyDatabase', @backUpType = 0, @COPY_ONLY = 1, @COMPRESSION = 1
Step 2 is .bat file with ROBOCOPY E:\SQLBackUp\ \\Server01\sqlbackup\Prod\ *.bak /MOV /ETA /S /R:100 /W:10 /LEV:1
Step 3. Save that money u would spend on RedGate

How to get rid of those SharePoint Authentication Prompts
FYI:
This isn’t SharePoint specific, however Im
sure the same process could be used to save credentials for other web apps that use Windows Authentication, the below
article shows how to get rid of that pesky Login prompt in SharePoint that I
continuously get when editing MS Office docs in SharePoint,
It seems like every time I click to open or
download an Office file in SharePoint I kept getting prompted to login after I had already checked the check
box “Remember My Credential” which never seemed to work for me….Well this
article worked for me, Now I don’t have to enter my UID/PWD every time I open a
doc in SharePoint….Yay!
I tried this in SP2010 / IE11
Thanks!

Improve DataObject Serialization Performance and the Gotchas
While working on a custom reporting app I came across a little ADO.Net serialization gotcha, when we use WriteXML() and ReadXML for serializing a DataSet to stream, any column with null values in all rows will be magically removed from the de-serialization! Ina service arena, this probably isn't an issue, however when dealing with service consumers that include CSV output for users or HTML, dropping columns is a big NO NO, at least to a user, Yes the data is blank, and who really cares to look at a blank column, well report users LOVE their columns and having one disappear will result in a bug task.
After digging around, I found this stackoverflow that describes the issue, with an old invalid KB reference. The solutions remarked here are not really attractive by any means, certainly not looping over a result set just to add a String DataColumn with Empty string , yuck, Im gonna try a little Hack just to get by today: If DataTable.Rows.Count > 0, then for each DataColumn that is DBNull, set to empty string to see if that works for me. Better yet, after looking at the .Net FW, there's a param avail with 3.5+ (I believe) that does the trick:
In peruzing related articles I came across a better final solution which will involve switching over to JSON, this article is a good ref for that:

Disable Windows 10 Update Pesky Notifications
On Win7, here are steps I did to remove this painful Win10 update notification that kept popping up due to an implicit (not invited) windows update, Accidentally enabling Windows Update caused MS to install this pesky troll on my machine and Im sure U may encounter the same (I am not sure if Win8 although I assume is the same) on a Win8(.x) box:
1. Go to C:\Windows\System32\GWX take ownership to urself/admin account
2. Set permissions to Full Control Everyone
3. Kill any GWX.exe process via task manager or akin,
4. Rename the folder C:\Windows\System32\GWX to C:\Windows\System32\GWX.old\
5. Delete the Tasks under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasks
- backup of course this reg key
- search for *gwx*
- delete subkeys
See here for more details
6. Delete C:\Windows\System32\GWX.old\

SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow Error : the attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold
Hello
After some trial and error and
tracing I found that the cause of a SharePoint Designer Workflow error:
"...the attempted operation is
prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold..."
Summary:
This error appears when trying to edit any action that has a string builder, resulting in a delay, an error prompt and the inability to edit an exiting string.
Cause
The cause is a call to an existing SharePoint 2010 Workflow which
results with the below error showing in the Designer.
Workaround:
A simple re-name of the SharePoint 2010 Workflow resolves the error,
the underlying causing in SP is unknown at this time, however this work-around will allow you to edit your workflow without error.
See below document for full details.

run cmd:
VSIP.exe extract
VSIP.exe inject
2. Color: Download Theme Editor: (2.2 has Blue, latest does not, dont ask me why?)
http://mirror.nienbo.com/visualstudio-extensions/ColorThemeEditor.vsix
Install and set theme to blue, e.g:
http://prntscr.com/6bmj11
3.: Text: Regedit and then this simple DWORD:

Macro to get around: Outlook Issue : "Send Time" time stamp information is incorrect when you send a delayed delivery message in Outlook
' UPDATED 20160302 to include capability to support specific Outlook Accounts, Set the ACCOUNT_NAME const to mailbox, macro will run in that context.
Download latest here:
'******************
' This macro module was created because Outlook DeferredDelivery sets the SendTime to the time you click Send not the actual time the email leaves the Outbox
' SEE HERE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247176
' So I created this macro, download below,
' DeferSendWithRealSentTime
' This Module will check outbox if item has DeferredDelivery time set then this macro will send that item to recipients with the REAL SEND Time
' To automate this we use a periodic function via win32/64 Timer will poll outbox every 1 min
' Items with Defered Deliv set and now is within 10 min of Defered Deliv, this will clone the email item, send it.
Example of how it works:
In Outlook:
Create new email set DelayDeliverTime to something like for example:
As an example Times:
DeferDeliveryTime: 3:00PM
now is 2:30PM
Click Send
At 2:50PM the macro will fire, the email will be sent to recipients and the SentTime will be 2:50PM and NOT 2:30!!!!!!! Voila the MS issue is fixed.
Related MS Issue: "Send Time" time stamp information is incorrect when you send a delayed delivery message in Outlook
Download the Macro Here, Unzip and add to Outlook!
' Cloned Item will then appear in SentItems and Original will appear Deleted Items

' This macro module was created because Outlook DeferredDelivery sets the SendTime to the time you click Send not the actual time the email leaves the Outbox

SharePoint 2010/2013 Library Does not Open in Windows Explorer
Its great using the drag/drop features of the shell with SP, however if some pre-req's are not installed then the Toolbar item will not be enabled and we can't use the lovely "windows explorer browse SharePoint document library" feature.
Working on a servers via RDP I have run across this several times where the toolbar item is greyed out, after trial and tribulations here was a solution I found that worked:
1. Make sure the The WebClient Service feature is added to the Win2008 server (and maybe 2012 server via Desktop Experience feature?)
2. Ensure the SP Site is added to trusted sites
3. Use IE 7 or above
The toolbar item Open in Explorer should then be enabled.
