Can we customize the built in Calendar webpart and enable the Year view in it? Or do we have any way to create a webpart that supports Year view in a calendar and be able to link it to the default calendar web part of SharePoint.
There is no out-of-the-box web part included in any version of SharePoint (as of SP2013). I've placed my solution on my blog, here: http://thesharepointhive.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/sharepoint-calendar-view-as-year.html
It may or may not solve your problem ... but it'll require SharePoint Designer.

I'm new using SharePoint. I am having trouble with find the code or workflow structure of a list or a library. In the left menu i can see the "Workflows" button but all workflows are not there.
There is a workflow section In the "List and libraries" view showing the running workflows in these list, but when i click on one of them it just move me to its settings in the browser and no to the structure or code that is what i'm looking for.
Is there a way to find the code or structure of my running workflows?
PD: I am working in place of the previous developer who build the entire site, however, he didn't show me anything about.
Thanks.
If these are workflows created using SharePoint Designer then:
Open SharePoint Designer
Open the site
Click on Lists and Libraries
Click on the list name
There will be a heading titled "Workflows"
Click on the workflow you are wanting to look at
Click "Edit Workflow" to view it
Go From there
If you are wanting to see the status of a workflow in regards to the item:
Go to the list
I recommend creating a personal view (so only you see it)
You can select the fields you are interested in and each workflow should have a column in the list associated with it. Include the column in your view
Go to your new view and you can click on the link to view the current status of the workflow
Go to All Files > Workflows Folder. Then select the workflow you want to work with. Right Click on the "xoml" file then select "Open With" > "SharePoint Designer (open as workflow)"
Once it's opened, published it again. Then it will show up again in the Workflow tab.
The workflow was a visual studio sequential workflow deployed in the site as a feature. It was not a SharePoint Designer one. Thanks
The manager was some specific fields added to the standard TFS web parts.. I could just make a Sharepoint List but then it would not haev a relation to the TFS bug/Task list..
So is there a way to do this ?
Open Team Explorer for that project.
Menu -> Tools -> Process Editor -> Work Items Types -> Open WIT from Server
From here, you can add additional fields and publish it back out.
Here is an article that will walk you through something similar to what you are trying to accomplish:

I am helping a client correct a masterpage issue. I have close to no experience with SP2010 so I may be missing something simple.
The site is referring to a custom master page special.master. How can I find this file and edit it?
The masterpage is saved in the database rather than on the hive, so you can't edit the file just using VS2010 without first retrieving it from the database(and then upload it again). OR, you can edit it from SP Designer, as moi_meme has described.
use Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010 and find it in the masterpage library
see this video How to create a Master Page in SharePoint 2010 Designer
In the RDLC report, in Design view in Visual Studio 2008, we don't see anything in the Website Data Sources tab and the button to Add New Data Source is grayed out. Only the Refresh button is enabled, and clicking it doesn't do anything. Our business logic layer returns Lists of business objects and the business logic and business object projects are both referenced by the MVC project. This is an MVC app, so there is no App_Code folder.
How do we get our business objects to appear in the Website Data Sources list so we can drag and drop fields from the object onto our RDLC report?
I think I suffered the same problem as this.
I solved this by closing all open VS windows, cleaning, rebuilding the solution then adding a new WebForms page (yes I know its MVC) but it then seemed to trigger a refresh in something and the data sources showed up when we reopened and editted the rdlc file.
I have also been frustrated by this, using VB.NET, but this should fix it:
In addition to the reference to:
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Winforms or
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms
You need to also add a reference to:
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common
The Data Sources panel is still blank, but when you select Add Dataset, you'll see the correct options.
Try this...

On the menu bar, choose View, Other Windows, Data Sources (or choose the Shift+Alt+D
I had the same problem in Visual Studio 2008. The solution I accidently found was to do the following:
1 - Launch VS 2008
2 - Open Solution
3 - Open report file (rdlc) and make sure "Website Data Sources" pane is showing
4 - Close VS 2008 (with the rdlc "having focus"
5 - Launch VS 2008
6 - Open Solution
You should now see the data in the Website Data Sources pane
One of the problems I had was that my DataSource class didn't have a parameterless constructor...after the parameterless constructor was added "the class" showed up in the DataSource list.
Small detail, but lost some time to figure it out. :)
I've created a class project in VS 2010 Beta 2. I've added one Activity to it. Saved it. Created another Activity. I would expect the first Activity to appear in the toolbox so I could drag it into my workflow, but it's not. Any ideas?
I had this problem with Visual Studio 2010 RTM as well. I wrote a blog post with a potential solution here.
Essentially, the toolbox doesn't load your custom activities if you have two projects in your solution that share the same folder.
Make sure your Custom Activity class is marked as public.
I experienced this issue too. My workflow service project was part of a solution with other projects. I removed the workflow service project from the main solution and created a new solution only containing the workflow service project. After a build, the custom activities were generated and listed in the toolbox.
I don't know if this is still relevant for you but I had the same problem.
I could solve it like this:
Right click on the Toolbox to open context menu.
Select Choose Items...
Select the tab System.Activities Components
Click on browse and select the dll that contains the custom activity
Make sure that the activity shows in the list and is checked
Click OK
Not really the same question but in Visual Studio 2012, on a 64 bit windows, I had a 64 bit application with CodeActivity and NativeActivity and they were not showing up in the toolbox. I changed the application to AnyCPU and built it, and the activities are now displayed...
I hope it will help someone :)
I resolved this by creating a Windows Workflow 4.0 Console application and then removing out the Program.cs. Very odd, but it worked.
