SharePoint Brain Freeze - Josh Carlisle's Blog

Well SharePoint Saturday Charlotte is now behind us. I had a really great time. Thanks again to Dan Lewis and company for putting together a great event. It was great to catch up with everyone and especially meeting some new folks like Laura Rogers, Heather Waterman, and Shadeed Eleazer. I’m hoping to make it to some more SharePoint Saturday’s soon.

A couple follow-ups on my session on using a SharePoint Build Environment. In case you missed the SharePoint Saturday Charlotte site you can also download my presentations and the demo build script project. 

I also wanted to share a solution on a issue I reported in my session related to WSPBuilder. In my experience WSPBuilder at times exhibited a very long build time for solution packages, sometimes as much as 5-10 minutes. A recent community post on codeplex provides a solution to the issue. It would appear that wspbuilder historically made use of reflection to gleam information about references, in a recent release they moved over to a a mono related project called Cecil that is causing the performance impact. Checkout http://wspbuilder.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=56751 for more details and the fix.
