    SPFx webpart fails with "Failed to load component - - There was a network error."

    SPFx development is a bottomless bag of funsies! This article describes yet another way how to fix the error with your SPFx webpart failing to load a module. In this case, you'll get an error that starts with the generic "Failed to load component" -part, but contains "There was a network error" later in the stack. I've written about this before, but I keep running into new ways to mess up, so I'll keep documenting the solutions as well!

    Thanks for coming to my session at SPS Nashville 2019!

    I had the honor of speaking at SharePoint Saturday Nashville 2019 again, and it was a lot of fun! I had the chance to meet a lot of new (and some “old”) people. And what a crowd - so many (difficult) questions about SPFx & Teams development... 😬😂 (Don’t want to crawl through the jabbering? Just here for the materials? Well, they are here: SPS Nashville 2019 materials . Thanks for your interest!

    The boring version of browser wars is upon us

    The next browser war is upon us, and this time it isn't fought on the battlefield of proprietary API implementations and badly implemented CSS and JavaScript standards, but rather it's different ecosystems battling it out with their respective variants of Blink, which itself is a part of open source Chromium. Sounds boring, right? And to some extent it really is.

    Extending Microsoft Teams is now officially awesome

    This article is something of a combination of a technology overview and an opinion piece, detailing my thoughts about extending Microsoft Teams. To me, extending Microsoft Teams has pretty much only now become relevant. Before, the palette was still quite unfinished, but now we're definitely getting to a point where there are meaningful and cost-effective extension scenarios to cover most of the relevant use cases for most organizations.

    How to resolve "Error initializing application. Error: ***Manifest not found for component id [guid]." when adding an SPFx webpart to Teams?

    This article describes one way to fix the issue, where uploading and sideloading an SPFx webpart in Microsoft Teams just brickwalls you with a fairly non-descriptive error, and no way to proceed. Luckily, this is usually simple to fix - I'll describe 2 different solutions I've found so far! Problem You've got a SPFx webpart, that you've packaged as a Teams extension. You can even find it from Teams extensions, but while adding it as a tab, you run into issues.

    I'm trying out new, more long-form content on this blog - tell me what you think about it in the comments section below! This article explains one of the only cryptocurrency initiatives I find to be kind of level-headed - Basic Attention Token - and the browser that's pretty tightly coupled with it, Brave.

    How to resolve the "You cannot edit this page"-error in Modern SharePoint

    This article describes an error situation that you might run into in Modern SharePoint, where you cannot take a page into edit mode anymore. You only get a strangely generic error message with a kinda weird failed request in the console. But, of course, there's a fix - and an easy one at that! Problem Huh - so here's a weird one for you!

    "Connecting to site failed: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character.", when trying to connect to SharePoint Online

    This was a peculiar case! A cloud-based "service account" (in quotes, since it's really just a non-personal user account) on a tenant with ADFS enabled started suddenly getting this error while running console programs configured as scheduled tasks. Connecting to site failed: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character.

    Speaking at SPS Nashville 6/15/2019

    Exciting news to share again! My session on using SPFx to extend Microsoft Teams got accepted to SharePoint Saturday Nashville next June. I'm excited to return to the Music City - it was a lot of fun last time , and I have a new session to present this time! Correction: The title has been fixed - it used to say 6/16, but the event is on 15. SharePoint Saturdays are typically on Saturday 😁 Thanks for pointing that out! What will I be speaking about?

Solution This seems to be another "gotcha", that's missing from the official documentation, but is super helpful to know when you happen to need it!

    This article describes one way how to fix seemingly non-sensical " Access denied " errors, that you get when running Set-PnPAvailablePageLayouts . Problem While running the PnP cmdlet for enabling or selecting the available publishing page layouts for a web, you run into this, fairly generic error: Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource.

    How to access Entity Framework Core's DbContext in an Azure Function?

    This post describes how you can access your Entity Framework Core model classes and the database context in your Azure Functions. In my example I'm using EF Core 2.1, but the main principle should be the same for later versions as well. Please note, that I use Azure functions runtime v2 (but it should work the same in v3 !) Another easy one, that I was unable to find much guidance on! But first, let's start with the basics. Why would you want to have this setup?

Truthfully, this one is kind of simple and stupid - but as I've seen before, it's surely worth documenting anyway! Below is an example of such an error.

    Sudden "Function compilation error" for an Azure Function

    Welp - another interesting error encountered while deploying Azure Functions to Azure. So, everything runs nicely locally, but when you deploy your well-tested, functional and pretty code to run them in the cloud, you'll just get these ugly and unfriendly errors. Long story short, " Function compilation error " is what you're faced with. Example error below: Function compilation error Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.CompilationErrorException : Script compilation failed.

    Current User in ASP.NET Core

    This post describes how to get the currently logged-in user using ASP.NET Core. This is compared with how it's done in ASP.NET Framework. Background In ASP.NET Core (and .NET Core in general), a lot of things are done a bit differently than what you might be used to if you're coming from the .NET Framework world. That's what I've been learning building more and more stuff with it, instead of good old .NET Framework.

    How to disable the footer in Modern SharePoint?

    Modern SharePoint Online recently got a new, super useful and much-requested new feature: a site footer. This little buddy now makes it possible to create informative, stylish and useful footer areas for your intranet sites. But what if you already implemented such a solution based on, say SPFx extensions, and now you've got 2 footers? Well, you might want to disable one of those two.

    How to revert Modern view back to Classic for SharePoint libraries using PowerShell

    If your customers are anything like ours, some of them love the new modern library view, some will adjust and some just hate it and want to get as far away from it as possible. While embracing the new stuff is usually smart, there's some value to sticking to what works as well. The Modern view is going to be the superior choice of the two (if it isn't already!

    SharePoint linguistic search features

    I've been posting about different localization/globalization / multilingual options of SharePoint for quite some time. It's a topic that's kind of close to my heart, being a non-English speaker with a really difficult native language - one, that Microsoft always gets wrong even though it's not for the lack of trying! Weirdly enough, while Microsoft messes up the Finnish translation and localization all the time, they do detect and recognize the language surprisingly well.

    How to remove Azure Functions without deleting the Functions App?

    Have you ever run into a situation, where you just wanted to remove the currently standing function definitions from your app service without actually nuking the whole Functions app? I have! App Service configuration is usually easy to manage programmatically or by scripting, so even if you need to redo the deployment, it should be fairly straightforward.

    A couple of days ago, I got a comment asking how to fix error AADSTS90008 when developing an application using Azure Active Directory The error in question was this: AADSTS90008: The user or administrator has not consented to use the application with ID ‘[guid]’. This happened because application is misconfigured: it must require access to Windows Azure Active Directory by specifying at least ‘Sign in and read user profile’ permission.

    How to format DateTimes in ASP.NET Core?

    Have you ever struggled to make your ASP.NET MVC views format your properties of type DateTime correctly? I have. And I've been shot in the leg by weird hacks made by both myself (just 6 months earlier) and someone else. .NET Date/DateTime formatting is an endless bag of funsies in general . So I thought I'd finally document the different ways one can set up the formatting of DateTime fields in ASP.NET Core projects specifically. Or at least all the ways I've found so far!

Description I've mentioned the Chrome SP Editor before, and for a good reason. It's a great tool for any IT Pro or Dev working with SharePoint on a daily basis. It's maintained by a very talented developer, one of the people behind Valo Intranet, Tomi Tavela . If you're using the tool, [let him know on Twitter!]( https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?

    Resolving the Version conflicts for a downgraded .NET Core 2.1/2.2 web app project

    I ran into compatibility issues with .NET Core 2.2 on my Azure Functions projects, so I downgraded my whole solution (an Azure Functions project, a helpers library, and a web application project) to 2.1, and got rid of that particular nuisance. This introduced a few new issues, though - namely, I started getting this error whenever trying to restore nuget packages or build the project: NU1107 Version conflict detected for Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Language. Install/reference Microsoft.
