About a year ago I was working a CRM2011 customization project and found a website / blog that had 50+ development tools for CRM 2011. Sitemap editor was there, Ribbon Editor, VS plugins specifically for CRM tons of java & jquery tools like intellisense.
Some like the sitemap editor I remember the name but others not so much. I know this isn't specifically a programming question but I was hoping someone might know the blog or at least people can chime in with their tool(s) to help me build my toolbox back.
Thank You
I believe you're referring to the following site:
http://everythingcrm.net/2012/01/24/over-40-useful-dynamics-crm-2011-tools-utilities-scripts-controls/
You could also search in codeplex, there are tons of CRM tools available.
The CRM ToolBox is a good start

I have created a .NET Core server project that has a lot of classes. I need to generate a class diagram UML, and when I look on the Microsoft documentation site (I think it is only for vs2015), it tells me to click on the "Architecture" menu and click "Add New Diagram", but I couldn't find this button or function anywhere.
Is this function not supported anymore, or have they just not added this function yet? All the forums kept reporting it as a bug, but there's no workaround stated in the forums.
I am open to suggestions. Also I am using VS Enterprise.
Sadly Microsoft removed this functionality in VS 2017.

I'm using InstallShield Limited Edition on VS2015.
I found several articles talking about an XML File Changes view, like this article, for instance.
However, I can't locate the view in LE. It might be due to the articles being a bit old and for a different version, or it might be that LE doesn't have this feature. I haven't found an article with the specific differences in features between the various versions of InstallShield, so my question is, can we do XML File Changes in LE? If yes, which view should I use to do it?
I installed InstallShield Express Edition, and while navigating the Help, I found the article entitled Upgrading to the Premier or Professional Editions of InstallShield. In it, you'll find the following:
Features that Are in Only the Premier and Professional Editions
(...)
Ability to modify text files or XML files—Use the Text File Changes view or the XML File Changes view to configure files that you want to modify on the target system at run time.
So this answers my question. Hope it helps someone else out there.
I want to learn sharepoint, can someone give me a quick overview of the various core things to learn in sharepoint? Is it a single installation of a product or does it have various components to it that have to be installed separately?
Is there a book that you could recommend that would be the idea first book?
MSDN is great place with a lot of information about SharePoint development and Inside Microsoft SharePoint 2010.
If you plan to develop custom solution (programming) the good books are:
SharePoint 2010 as a Development Platform http://www.apress.com/9781430227069
Designing Solutions for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff770300.aspx
And a good book about some SharePoint 2010 features - Real World SharePoint 2010 http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Real-World-SharePoint-2010-Indispensable-Experiences-from-22-MVPs.productCd-0470597135.html

Possible Duplicates:
Scrum Software
Recommendations for project management software for Scrum
I checked wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(development)
But I am still looking for some insight from the genius minds using SO. I installed Microsoft Project 2010, and was assuming that it would have some template/plugin that would support Scrum. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one :-(
I'd recommend not using any software to start with. Sticky notes or 3X5 cards on a corkboard/whiteboard are a better way to start.
Focus on the differences in process, understanding the system, and what you're getting out of it first, not the tools.
I have been using scrumworks for more than a year. I really like it, the scrum board is pretty and intuitive with drag and drop, support mutiple teams etc. Not very expensive too.
I tried using Microsoft project for many years but given up because if wasn't flexible enough and I now use a mix of scrumworks, excel sheets and a bug database.
I believe that there is a Scrum project template for Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010. I suggest you download the RC of VSTS and of TFS, install them and find out.
Microsoft Project pretty much just does project management. VSTS is where the developers, testers, project managers and other stakeholders will live.
We have been using the Scrum for Team System templates:
http://www.scrumforteamsystem.com/en/default.aspx
The VSTO bit I understand. Visual Studio has the project templates to get you started with creating nice .NET based add-ins.
But where is VSTA? I installed the SDK but it seems to be gears towards adding extensibility to your own applications.
I had thought that VSTA was like the new VBA for Office 2007. Infopath 2007 seems to be VSTA enabled but I cannot seem to find where Excel 2007 is also VSTA enabled.
Am I missing something ?
As I understand it, VSTA is not a 'new VBA' nor built into Office 2007, but a separate 'Super-VBA with .NET' that must be licensed from Summit, and distributed as part of an external application. I think it's just targeted at ISVs wishing to extend Office, but the blurb about it also contains this gem:
Perhaps the feature most applauded by enterprise BDMs and SI’s is that VSTA customizations are seamlessly opened by any version of Visual Studio enabling professional developers to continue to enhance applications originally created by end user developers – a feature requested by many enterprises because applications often grow in sophistication over time.
I've not bothered googling BDMs and SI means le Système International d'Unités to me, but I took this mean that you can take the horrible mess of excel VBA that your traders used to turn worthless morgages into goldmine CDOs (and then bailouts), and your 'real developers' can open it in Visual Studio and sort the mess out (or just quit...).
also VBA and VSTA can exist together:
http://blogs.msdn.com/vsta/archive/2006/07/31/684514.aspx
If I understand correctly, VSTA is a new technology that provides a "standard" short-cut route to extensibility for application vendors. So it may appear in Office apps in the future or it may not, but it's not there now.
If it becomes supported by Excel, Word and the like, then the UI (Visual Studio Shell?) should be distributed as part of the package.
But I may be miles off-base...
VSTO 2005 is available to install by itself as a complete development environment
