Change the Subsites and Pages navigation setting by code

February 27, 2008 11:12

It took me quite some time to figure out how to change the Subsites and Pages settings by code. I finally manged to change them. The setting “Show subsites” can be altered in 2 ways. I was only able to change the “Show pages” on a publishing site.

Method 1 (”Show subsites” only)
With this code you will access the AllProperties setting of the Sharepoint Site and change the __IncludeSubSitesInNavigation value. Somehow there is no such property for the “Show pages”.

SPWeb web = new SPSite(webCollection).OpenWeb();
web.AllProperties["__IncludeSubSitesInNavigation"] = “False”;
web.Update();
web.Close();
web.Dispose();

Method 2
With this code the “Show pages” and “Show subsites” option are disabled. To access these properties your site must be a publishing site.

SPWeb web = new SPSite(webCollection).OpenWeb();
PublishingWeb publishingWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);
publishingWeb.IncludePagesInNavigation = false;
publishingWeb.IncludeSubSitesInNavigation = false;
publishingWeb.Update();
publishingWeb.Close();
web.Close();
web.Dispose();

BizTalk 2006 Recipes - A problem-solution approach

January 13, 2007 19:26

I would like to mention that there is a great book available about BizTalk 2006. It is called BizTalk 2006 Recipes, published by Apress and written by Mark Beckner, Ben Goeltz, Brandon Gross, Brennan O`Reilly, Stephen Roger, Mark Smith and Alexander West. (ISBN 1-59059-711-7)

Biztalk 2006 Recipes

In the book you will find a comprehensive guidance on working through complex deployment challenges, including tested, reusable code snippets for use in production, enabling faster deployment and minimal post-implementation engineering support.

The book is intended for starting BizTalkers as well as the seasoned BizTalk professional, but in my opinion it might be useful to have already a little introduction to the BizTalk development environment before starting with this book.

I already did a quick read in the book during my BizTalk 70-235 study, the book gives a detailed step by step overview of solutions (with lots of images) on how to work with BizTalk. The authors really did a good job to provide you with solutions that work, but best of all that works well.

In the next month(s) I will read this book and try to run all the provided solutions. Of course I will post feedback about this book on this blog.
