I created an application which rendered a report in HTML. To improve it, I wanted it to open the rendered file in browser to simplify the viewing one. In the beginning I thought about using the CMD file, but I found a better solution.

To sync the time on a computer with Windows OS you can run the command in console:

w32tm /resync /force

Today in a test SharePoint environment I found that I don't have one of SharePoint features which I have in the productive environment. I reinstalled the solution with this feature several times, but it hadn't appeared.

By default, in SharePoint display form the multiline text field is written as a string without html-tags. To display text as the multiline one with HTML-tags, you should modify the default parameters of the XSL expression.

Recently I was looking for the solution about how to add the button to "Save and Stay on page" for SharePoint Edit Form page. I read several articles how to do it, but most of them were no good. But also I found one useful page which became the base for my solution.

I made a simple HTML page with JQuery UI tabs. But the customer asked to give URLs for each tab. I was a bit surprised with it, because I remember only how to make default tab on page load. You can do it with the syntax like this:

$("#tabs").tabs( { selected: x  });

 where 'x' is integer index of tab. So, the task was to determine which tab is requested.

To flush blob cache on SharePoint servers you should execute a PowerShell script on each front end server. Blob cache is set on each front-end server in a farm, that is why you have to do this way.

It is a very common task to truncate log files. You don't notice them and they reach the limit size always not in the appropriate time. And when this moment occurs, it's much better to have a quick solution to decrease the size of log files. But even much better to clean logs automatically on the schedule.

In my application I had rendered JSON data with AngularJS and I had to send it to a controller in my MVC application to render PDF file and to allow a user to save it. So, the task was dynamically to submit the request, render a file and allow user to save it.

Ubuntu is one of the most favorite operation systems. It is free, it is easy to install it to any PC, you do not worry about viruses and other no good things, which Windows systems have. But in Ubuntu you can have different problems with proprietary software and drivers. One of the common problems with Ubuntu is the upside down image from webcamera in Skype.
