"No content databases are available for restoring this site collection. Create a new content database and then try the restore operation again

This is because the globally-unique identifiers (GUID) for lists are preserved in the backup file and reused during restore, but the content database requires list GUIDs to be unique. Therefore, you cannot restore a site collection twice to the same content database, and must instead use a different content database.

Change Feature Folder Name in VS 2010

http://www.ride-the-bytes.com/?p=1116

http://www.townofbedrock.com/blog/?p=219

The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters -- Usually if we have a big feature folder name.


Double-Click on Feature and then Hit F4 to change the feature folder deployment name.

By default the value for Deployment Path is:

$SharePoint.Project.FileNameWithoutExtension$_$SharePoint.Feature.FileNameWithoutExtension$

Change the Deployment Path value to:

$SharePoint.Feature.FileNameWithoutExtension$

Site Columns Delete - Prerequisites

1. Site columns which are included in content types cannot be deleted. Remove all references to this site column prior to deleting it 

2. The Site column will be removed and all list columns which were created from it will be permanently orphaned. Are you sure you want to delete this column.

From Drop Off Library

1. This Column will be removed and all the data stored in the column will be permanently deleted. If this column is currently being used by any content types, it will be removed from those types. Are you sure you want to delete this column?

Notes: It is talking for only that library

Custom Edit Form - Document Library (Make Sure you have one entry before you start)

1. To create a custom edit form where you can edit the editform page and create the controls.

2. Just go to the particular list you wish to customize in Sharepoint Designer, copy the original editform.aspx and open up the editform.aspx copy. In there delete the listform webpart and go to insert -> Sharepoint List Controls -> Custom list form.

2. Edit/Customize

3. Save

Note: If you open editform with no items in document library, you will just see Save and Cancel Button.
So, Make sure you have atleast one item and then try to see the changes in the browser.

McAfee doesnot like the port number, change the port number :)
