Unchecking the 'send email' option when adding users to a group.

Most of the time we don't want to send extra emails to people so we wanted to uncheck the send email checkbox from the New User form. Here's how: Repeat this process for each front end-web server: Open C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\AclInv.aspx Find the control with ID="chkSendEmail" change the Checked="True" attribute of this control to Checked="False". No IISRESET is required

Dynamically add a ScriptManager in a WebPart

I've been working on creating a web part that populates a ASP.NET Ajax ReorderList with SharePoint list content, allowing you to reorder based on a column. Since all ASP.Net AJAX components require a ScriptManager you need to either add one to the MasterPage or do it dynamically. I chose to do it dynamically so only the pages that had ASP.Net Ajax components would have it (making the pages a little less bloated). To get a ScriptManager to dynamically add for your web part, add a ScriptManager declaration to your class: ScriptManager _scriptManager; then add this code to your CreateChildControls method: if(_scriptManger == null) { //first check to see if there is a ScriptManager loaded on the page already _scriptManager = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(this.Page); if(_scriptManager == null) { //since there wasn't one on the page, we create a new one and add it to the controls collection _scriptManager = new ScriptManager(); this.Controls.Add(_scriptManager);
