Back from SharePoint Conference 2009!

Lots of new stuff coming in 2010.  Looks like the best bet is to use the keyword  #SPC09 for all the new stuff.

Good news is that HtmlFilter will be just as useful, if not more-so.

HtmlFilter published to CodePlex

See it here: http://htmlfilter.codeplex.com

You can download a sample VS 2008 project from the Source Code section.

Web.Config Custom Configuration sections with RSA

After spending awhile playing with RSA and Custom Configuration Sections I added the following community content:

• You must compile your ConfigurationSection class as a strongly named assembly (dll) and deploy it to the GAC
• If you don't, it will try to locate your class in System.Web
• You should add this to the Compilation\Assemblies section of the Web.config if you will be using the values within a Web Site project (non pre-compiled)
• Ex: <add assembly="Samples.AspNet, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=DllPktHere" />
• The following section declaration should include the full strong named assembly
• Ex: <section
  name="pageAppearance"
  type="Samples.AspNet.PageAppearanceSection, Samples.AspNet, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=DllPktHere"
• Follow the RSA encryption instructions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998283.aspx)
  except for the following:
• You may need to use the -pef format instead of -pe
• If you have your section within a group as in the example above, you should use this format: "SectionGroupName/SectionName"
• This would be instead of the "connectionStrings" section used in the RSA encryption instructions examples.
