She's the reason why I don't have that much time to blog anymore as I used to have; and I love it. :-)http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2008/03/27/my-girl-one-year.aspx Introducing the Autocomplete Text Field for SharePoint 2007- March 21, 2008 Yesterday I finally had some time to finish a project I've been working on for some time: the Autocomplete Text Field for SharePoint 2007.

SPWebConfigModification Best Practices and Guidelines- March 11, 2008 The SPWebConfigModification class allows developers to write code that will make modifications to the web.config files of SharePoint sites.
