SmartPart For SharePoint x64 error and fix.

After installing the x64 release of SharePoint SmartPart template, I was prompted with the following error while trying to add a new web part to a Sharepoint page.

ERROR:

SOLUTION:

Add the following to the sharepoint’s web.config under

This redirects the binding to the new version and we can add/ create a new web part without errors.

Unable to open .chm files

Issue: The .CHM file downloaded from the internet does not open and issues an error.

Fix: Once the file is downloaded right click the properties of the file and then, click UNBLOCK.

The error is the result of advanced security update for Windows XP -KB896358.

Unblocking the file resolves this.

Happy learning!

Removable USB Flash Disc detected but driver not found

Removable USB Flash Disc detected but driver not found, ahhhh… Edit

I was trying to plug in the flash drive, my laptop gave me the traditional sound(tadum!!), found new hardware message and then recognized the hard drive. When I went to look at my drives, I could not find the pen drive connected.

Now I have plugged and unplugged multiple times but nothing happens(ok, that was a bit dramatic, didn’t have to do that as many times as I did…I was just hoping for a miracle to happen) The drive does not show up.

Then, I stopped plugging and unplugging :)

Now, what?

I tried the following steps,

1. My Computer –> Manage –>Disk Management –> Check to see if the removable USB device is added and to which drive it gets added to.—>Change the driver letter…

VOILA…we have our files from the removable USB flash disk in our new driver (in my case ‘O’)

Good luck(plugging and unplugging)

Percentage Formulas

Corresponding percentage:
What is Rate% of Base.
(Base * Rate ) / 100
Eg: 20% of 700 is (700*20)/100=140.

Percentage difference application:
What is the change expressed in percent from one number(x) to another(y); What is the change from 97235 to 126567
Difference %= ((NewAmount-Base)/Base)*100
Eg: Difference%= (126567-97235/97235)*100=30.17%

Percent of Total application:
What percent of one number is of another; what percent of 3.92 million is 1.67 million.
%T= 100*(Amount/Total)
Eg: %T= 100(1.67/3.92)=42.60%
