Software developers can use the SharePoint 2010 business collaboration platform to build enterprise-class solutions for intranet portals and the web. Use these ten modules to get started with development for SharePoint 2010 using Visual Studio 2010.
Share about technology and the Tools (i.e.Windows Azure, SQL Azure, AppFabric, SharePoint 2007, SharePoint 2010, Lotus Notes, Dynamics CRM) that I come across. I am always looking out for new technologies and Tools to share them with everyone :-).

Change Create By / Modified By fields display
Recently one of our customer ask me how to change Create By and Modified By names that appears on Display form, New form and Views. Out of the box SharePoint systems only display Created at <time> by <username>. Our Customer request to change Display Photo with Name and other details?. Can we do it without customization?
The answer is “YES”. SharePoint list setting has options to change.
Go Settings > To List / Document Settings and Click Created By / Modified By fields.
Select Show fields type to Name (with picture and details) and click Ok.
SharePoint All document view display modified fields with picture and name.
When you visit Display form or New form will display created by and modified fields with picture, name and other details.

List Validation
You can only compare column values to one another in a list level validation.
A validation formula at the column level cannot include any other columns besides itself. For example, [Column1]>[Column2] is an invalid formula and SharePoint will not allow it to be used at the column level.
=AND([Paper 1],[Paper 2],[Paper 3],[Paper 4],[Paper 5]<=100,[Paper 1],[Paper 2],[Paper 3],[Paper 4],[Paper 5]>0)
Limitations
1. What if you have both column level validation and list level validation?
The column level formulas will be evaluated first, then the list formulas
2. What if the column and list level validations are in conflict?
Example - at the list level, you require that [Text1] = [Text2],
but each column has it's own validation; [Text1]="AAA", and [Text2]="BBB".
In this case, it will be impossible to actually submit a list item.
3. The column validations are evaluated first, but if the values validate here, they will of course fail the list validation.

Unique column
In SharePoint 2007 you couldn't enforce uniqueness on a column in a list or document library to ensure that the column would never have duplicate values.
Supported Column Types
Single line of text
Choice (single value)
Currency
Number
Date and Time Lookup (multi-valued)
Person or Group (single value)
Unique column Limitations
1. Remove the index of a unique column.
You must change the column from a unique column to one that allows duplicate values first, and then remove the index
2. Change existing column to unique values.
If existing column contain duplicate values You must remove all the duplicate values to a unique column and then set to unique values.
3. Change the data type of the unique column
Change the column to allow duplicate values, remove the index, change the column to the other supported data type, and then make the column unique
4. You cannot copy a file to a library by using the Open with Explorer command.
5. You cannot break inheritance of permissions from a list to a list item.
6. Item-level permissions for not allowed
7. If list that contains items with unique permissions.
8. List items with content approval enabled
9. Case-insensitive “Product 1” and “product 1”. This is because these two values are considered equivalent.
10. Lookup column supported uniqueness in this case means that more than one list item in the child list cannot look up to the child list cannot look up to the same list item in the parent list
