Quick Tip: List View Threshold in SharePoint 2010

Most of us know that SharePoint has performance implications, when the list view has more 2000 items. SharePoint 2010 allows us to take control over the resource consumptions at Web Application Level. Resource Throttling would allow us to set the maximum limit per list view.

 

Central Administration -> (Application Management) Manage Web Applications

 

Select the web application from the list, and click on General Settings -> Resource Throttling

Set the maximum value for number items retuned in view. This is the limit to return values on views.

 

You can override the settings for object model.

Delete Button on Repeating Table InfoPath 2010

This is kind of common request from client to have kind of small delete button or image in every to delete.

I couldn’t find any approach using Rules to delete the rows. One line C# code would do the trick J

 

Add Button and Click on the “Edit Form Code” in Button Properties.

 


public
void DeleteRow_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)

{


// Write your code here.

e.Source.DeleteSelf();

}

 

 

When delete the source for the button, it deletes the current node in the DOM, the node contains the entire row.

 

Download the sample Form with code here.
