I have been using Sharepoint 2010 Beta for developing an Access database solution using Issues Web Database template.
After installing the final release version of Sharepoint 2010 on the production server, I have been unable to find Issues Web Database template. Has it for some reason not been included in the final version, and is there a way of including it?
What I need to do is to install the template on the server and synchronize the content with the existing solution on the developing server.
Thanks
Web Database Templates are not available to create site collections. I dont know if this can be changed. They are available for sites and sub sites.

I am very new to Microsoft CRM , (working first time) and have requirement to call one custom webservice whenever new Account is created in Microsoft Dynamic CRM 2013.
Response returned from webservice needs to be stored as csv file in Files section of new account. Can anyone provide basic guideline how we can achieve this?
Here is a good link for getting started with writing a plug-in: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328263.aspx (The link points to CRM 2011, but this is compatible with 2013 and is a good place to get started.)
You'll also want to download the SDK. Provided with the SDK are tools for deploying the plugin, examples of plugins and much, much more. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40321
The CSV file will also be stored as an annotation. Here's an example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328429.aspx
Really, I'd start with the SDK and then look to the specific links.
I'm trying to get a SharePoint 2010 web portal working for a TFS 2012 team project. Most of the functionality is working, but I'm having a difficult time getting the custom work item controls we've built working in the SharePoint Project Portal site. (They're working fine within Visual Studio, we haven't tried getting them working in the default TFS Web Access portal.)
My questions are:
Since the TFS Web Access method for creating custom properties have been updated, is that method appropriate for the SharePoint site? (I doubt it, since jQuery is necessary and isn't included by default in SP 2010, but I thought I'd ask.)
Whenever I try to test this, all I get is "Error: Unable to create 'FieldName'" with nothing in the ULS logs. Is there any way I can debug this?
Are there any examples available online that I may have missed in my searches?
After a lot of digging and frustration, I have finally gotten a simple control working. Indeed, SharePoint 2010 expects the custom controls to be formatted similarly to Web Access 2010, not Web Access 2012. Here is an example that helped:

Also, if you install the 2008 Team System Web Access (yes, 2008), you'll get a Word document with some helpful documentation.
Here are some caveats:
The Word documentation states that the control needs to inherit from both IWorkItemControl and IWorkItemWebControl. Since IWorkItemWebControl contains all of the fields that IWorkItemControl does, and IWorkItemControl is declared in a DLL that references .NET 4.5 (not good for SharePoint 2010), I referenced only IWorkItemWebControl and it seems to work.
The documentation states that your control needs to inherit from System.Web.UI.Control to work, but the UserControl doesn't work. I had to inherit from one of the WebControls to get it to work.
The custom controls need references to TFS 2012 versions of several DLLs (which are listed in the sample download), but the only place I found them were in the GAC on the SharePoint server. So I copied them from the GAC onto my local machine for development.
Deploying is easy - all you need to do is place the .wicc file and the DLL into "Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\Tswa\CustomControls".
If I find anything else, I'll post it here.
I'm trying to create a EventReceiver project in Sharepoint 2010 Templates, but VS always ask me to pass a valid local URL of a Sharepoint Site. Without a Sharepoint Site the project is not created. Why?
Why if I want to create the project and use it direct in production without local tests?
This is a requirement of VS development for share point -- you need a local install of the sharepoint foundation server. It is a free download.
But if you question is more along the lines of "Why make this a requirement", I don't know ;). You can still have a sandbox server to deploy to.
I understand that you can't develop in Visual Studio 2010 for a remote Sharepoint 2010 server because you need a local copy running on your box. (I know there is a hack)
In my situation I have Sharepoint Foundation installed locally for development purposes but I'm not sure how to get the custom lists, etc from the remote server to my local box so I can develop against the same objects.
I've tried exporting the site on the remote box and then creating a new Visual Studio 2010 project from it. This resulted in exceptions when deploying to my local box - more problems which I'm sure given time I could work out...but more problems. (It was types not being installed properly on my local box that the custom object was using)
So I've been thinking there must be an easier way to pull down data structures.
I've spent a while looking for this and while there is quite a lot of information out there I'm finding it hard to find basic information like this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
What objects do you need from the remote server?
If it is lists, you can export the lists from the remote server as templates then use the resulting stp files to create the lists locally. If it is dlls you can get them form GAC and add the required entries in SharePoint site web.config.
You can also try to export the entire site and create a site locally based on the site template.
I have made a site in SharePoint Foundation 2010. I used team site as a starting template. I have saved it as my own custom template.
Next, I have added that solution to SharePoint Server 2010. When I tried to create a new site in SharePoint Server 2010 based on it, I got an error that a feature is missing. Missing feature guid is e8389ec7-70fd-4179-a1c4-6fcb4342d7a0. Looking at the solution's ONet file, it appears to be a 'ReportServer Feature'.
Now, my question is: Is it really possible that SharePoint Foundation 2010 may contain features that do not exist in SharePoint Server 2010? Isn't SharePoint Server supposed to be wider set of SharePoint Foundation?
Please help. Thanks.

Paul, an MVP has answered this topic on MSDN forum. You may find the link to the thread in the question above.
In short, any feature that exists in default SP Foundation instance must exist in SP Server as well. In my case, I have had installed Sql Reporting to the server machine running SP Foundation, which has subsequently added 'Reporting Server' feature. That's where all the commotion came from. Cheers everyone!
