SharePoint DateTime control not loading for some user (DateTimeControl Access denied )

It is a permission issue.

 

DateTimeControl field uses the iframe calender page to render the actual calender. The location of iframe.aspx is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS

The problem appeared to be with managed paths in the site collections, the Users with "Contribute access" were accessing the following path:

http://myserver/_layouts/iframe.aspx (Path to Root site collection where user doesn't have access)

 

 

The solution:

Why to Dispose SPSite and SPWeb objects in SharePoint?

Several of the SharePoint Foundation objects, primarily the SPSite class and SPWeb class objects, are created as managed objects. However, these objects use unmanaged code and memory to perform the majority of their work. The managed part of the object is much smaller than the unmanaged part. Because the smaller managed part does not put memory pressure on the garbage collector, the garbage collector does not release the object from memory in a timely manner. The object's use of a large amount of unmanaged memory can cause some of the unusual behaviors described earlier. Calling applications that work with IDisposable objects in SharePoint Foundation must dispose the objects when the applications finish using them. You should not rely on the garbage collector to release them from memory automatically.

Simple PowerShell to get Event Receivers attached to SharePoint list

$spWeb = Get-SPWeb -Identity "SiteUrl"

$spList = $spWeb.Lists["ListName"] 

$spList.EventReceivers | Select Name, Assembly, Type

Cleared MCPD 70-576 exam / Prepartion material and links for 70-576

I sat for 70-576 – PRO: Designing and Developing Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Applications exam last Saturday and it went very well. I cleared the exam with good score. Though score was less than my last certification exam 70-573 I was happy to earn the score of 830 after spending lot of month for preparing myself for exam and getting the required confidence and Knowledge.

I discovered lot of SharePoint areas which were in dark for me before exam preparation. The amount of knowledge I gain is huge. Hoping that I will get chance to implemented all my learning in some of the projects I do then only it will stay with me forever and I will never forgot.

How I prepared for the exam?

There is no specific book which will cover all syllabus required for exam (even I don’t like reading book from start to end, I get lost in them). So the best way was to know the syllabus and learn all topics one by one with Google search.

While searching for the topic and learning I was gathering all the links in Excel for this blog post. Find below all relevant links for study:-
