Document Library ItemUpdated event occurring twice

Hello

I have been working on Document Library ItemUpdated EventHandler and getting very frustration result, each time it runs twice, this is bad, as it calls back database requests and makes slow system.

Now what to do? Well, we do have one workaround; write this one in the ItemUpdated event of documentlibrary.

if (properties.AfterProperties["vti_sourcecontrolcheckedoutby"] == null &&

properties.BeforeProperties["vti_sourcecontrolcheckedoutby"] != null)

Enjoy this Workaround!!!

Thanks

How to create Custom 404 Error Page in SharePoint 2010

Hello Readers

It is very good practice to create Custom 404 Page for SharePoint Web Application because users always love some custom and meaningful text on pages rather than “this resource can not find please go back to site”.

So Let us see how to create custom 404 Page in SharePoint 2010.

Let us see step by step process for that

Copy the original sps404.html located at Local Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033 and rename that file and give some useful and meaningful name like spsCustom404.html in the same directory.

2. Write this code in spsCustom404.html file

<html>

<head>

</noscript>

var requestedUrl = escapeProperly(window.location.href);

STSNavigate("/_layouts/CustomError.aspx");

</script>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

3 3. Create an aspx file named as customerror.aspx under Local Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\

4. Write the content you want to write for users in the aspx page.

5. Now It is time for deployment so easy in SharePoint 2010. Write these command lines in Poweshell Script

$webapp =Get-SPWebApplication http://www.webapplicaion.url

$webapp.FileNotFoundPage = "spsCustom404.html"

$webapp.update()

Enjoy!!!
