Run Visual Studio 2010 as administrator

To create SharePoint projects in Visual Studio, we need to run it as administrator. I find it cumbersome to right click on the icon and click on run as administrator. So i figured out a way to run the Visual Studio 2010 as administrator whenever it is started.

For this go to properties on Visual Studio icon.


Go to the Compatibility tab and check Run this program as administrator


The next time you click on Visual Studio 2010 icon, it will run with the administrator privileges.

Now when you go to the list, you will see the lookup values without the hype...

SharePoint Edit Page and Personalize page using Javascript

I had to dig deep to find out what are the javascript functions called when we click the Edit Page button the SharePoint ribbon. I had to hide the ribbon for one of my client's requirements and i had to provide links for Edit Page, Personalize page and Save page. I have used three hyperlinks for each of these functionalities.

So you just have to place this html on your page and there you go.
