Exciting news!

Last friday I've decided to quite my job. That's right, only one month left and I will leave Ordina. Even though Ordina has been good to me, I felt it was time for something new. Only a couple of months after I joined Ordina in 2007, a colleague left Ordina to start as a self-employed SharePoint specialist. From then on, I knew that someday I'd be doing the exact same thing. On the side I will also be active in the world of Windows Mobile 7 development.

So exciting times are ahead. At the moment I'm busy getting myself certified on SharePoint 2010 Development and I've got my first job for a Windows Mobile App!

Also, I have created beijsolutions.nl to get some exposure and moved my blog to it.

Anyway, the most important thing now is to get an assignment as a SharePoint developer, so if anyone is in need of an SharePoint specialist, please let me know!

Cheers!

Field type 'text' is not installed properly

I got this error after changing a field in the deployment script from number to text.
Luckily the fix was quite easy once I knew what the problem was: The field's type attribute is case sensitive!
Well that makes sense. As soon as I changed the field's type from 'text' to Text, the deployment worked as expected.

<Field Type="Text" Name="Test" ID="{ba2b97ac-94e4-4b86-8845-279b22a82036}" DisplayName="Test" StaticName="Test" Group="My Group" SourceID="{8dfe28a0-f470-4a48-9b96-e90f759c3b2c}"/>
