    How to resolve issues when loading DLLs in PowerShell?

    This post describes a few different things that can (and will) go wrong when you're trying to load DLLs in PowerShell , and a couple of ways you can try to fix them. Typically, you'd run into an error message like "Exception calling LoadFrom with 1 argument(s): Could not load file or assembly.... " These issues most typically arise when you're running a PowerShell script that depends on certain DLLs to be loaded (to then execute some of the methods from them).

    How to resolve the error "The alias is being used by another group in your organization"

    Okay - another simple one. When you're creating a new Office Group (or "Unified Group", as they're called as well), you might get an error for the alias already being used. Pretty simple, but still - let's see how to fix it. Problem So, this error pops up, while you're trying to create a new Office Group: The alias is being used by another group in your organization. Please try a different alias.

    How to fix Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers not being rendered!

    Ha - another one, that ended up being a simple fix, but since nobody actually explains it well, took me an hour to figure out. This post ended up being another example of my "I'm going to document every single fix that took me more than 10 minutes to figure out, since that'll help me (and others) the next time the same issue arises." blogging strategy. Snappy name, right? 😅 Ah, well, naming things is really, really difficult. Anyway, I ended up banging my head to the wall for a while.

    Sync local repo with the original on GitHub (Git merge upstream)

    This is one of those "note to self" -kinds of entries. This workflow is probably so natural to a lot of you all, that you won't need to ever google it - but since I don't do that much development using git with the full "fork - clone - branch - submit pull request" -process (which is really typical with GitHub - and I guess Open Source in general), I always need to look up the instructions on how to add pull any changes from the original repository to yours.

    How to fix "AADSTS700054: response_type 'id_token' is not enabled for the application" error

    Another day, another unsuccessful authentication attempt, and another cool error code. I encountered his one whilst building a little POC that was supposed to authenticate against Graph API. This time, I was thrown an "AADSTS700054" error... But no worries!

    How to fix an "AADSTS500113: No reply address is registered for the application" error?

    This article describes how to fix the " AADSTS500113 : no-reply address is registered for the application " error. You typically get this error, when your app is trying to authenticate your users against Azure Active Directory. I have been posting about different versions of the Azure Active Directory authentication errors (different errors with AADSTS -codes) a lot - I'll need to find a better way to categorize them in the future. But, for now, onto the issue!

    How to enable verbose logging for Azure Functions?

    This post describes how you can easily enable debug/verbose information for your Azure Functions for a lightweight and built-in way to extract just a bit more information out of your Azure Function executions. There are different methods available for Azure and your local development environment. Problem Azure Functions are awesome. But by default, your tools for gathering information without some additional configuration are not that great.

    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!

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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?

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?

    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.

    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.
