validate sharepoint datetime control

I am using Content Control Mapping to pull certain fields from a Word Document and include it as columns when a document is uploaded into a Document Library. We're using MOSS 2007 and Word 2007. It is required that the user digitally signs the document before uploading.  Is there a way to get the signature to appear as a column in a similar fashion?  I'm new to this mapping business, and Google hasn't been much help. I realize I could use the Collect Signatures workflow, but that seems cumbersome to 1) have the user submit it, 2) have an admin open each document and start the workflow and 3) have the user THEN sign the document.  That's more steps than simply manually opening and verifying digital signatures. I figure I'm missing something obvious here.  Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I am currently trying to develop a custom asp.net control that can be deployed to SharePoint 2010 and then included on something like a New item form. I have been able to build the control as part of a webpart but it needs to be done as a stand alone control that can be used on various webparts including the out of the box webparts like the WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart. Are there any good examples of building a custom control, deploying it to SharePoint and then using SharePoint designer to add that control to an existing web part?

I've ready everything I can find on the built-in validators but can't figure out how to do the sort of validation I need on the client-side (I can do it on the server-side).  Business rule I want to enforce (review the gridview snippet below) is if user checks the CheckBox_EditLifeCycleRpt control but doesn't enter a value in the TextBox_LifeExpectancy control then the validation should fail.  <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Life Expect*" SortExpression="LifeExpectancy"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox_LifeExpectancy" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("LifeExpectancy") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label_LifeExpectancy" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("LifeExpectancy") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> <ControlStyle Width="50px" /> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Life Cycle Rpt" SortExpression="LifeCycleRpt"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox_EditLifeCycleRpt" runat="server" Checked='<%# Bind("LifeCycleRpt") %>' /> </EditItemTemplate&g

Topic This is maybe my last post about the Team Site Wiki Page customization with the aim of exceeding its limitations. This time we are going to customize the unique template ( wkpstd.aspx) by replacing the control that renders the editable content by a custom one. In this post example, we will take advantage of the use of this custom control to render not editable additional contents, for instance, a header and a footer that could be the same for a specific Wiki Page Library. Of course, we are not going to really customize the template, but we are going to use a delegate control to replace the control at runtime. Here are the screen shots of the result: We can see a non editable Header and Footer on the Team Site Wiki Page In edit mode these additional contents are not rendered, but we can add new content as usual And of course, after having saved the page, the new content is rendered wtih the non editable Header and Footer. Steps required   If you look at the Team Site Wiki Page template, wkpstd.aspx, you can see the control that is rendering the editable content/ <SharePoint:EmbeddedFormField ID="WikiField" FieldName="WikiField" ControlMode="Display" runat="server" /> We are first going to create a custom EmbeddedFormField control Then, we are going to use a delegate control to replace the native EmbeddedFor

Dear Experts, I had installed SharePoint 2010 Foundation in my Windows 7 64 bit OS.  It did not have performance point server so, I later installed SharePoint 2010 Server Enterprise Version.

Hi,I would like to validate a People Editor field. I have tried using the property Allow Empty, but unfortunatly it doesnt work. I have used a Required field validator. Luckily it works to some extent. But the problem starts if there is any postback happening on the page. After the postback, it takes the value to be empty even if there is an entry in the control.Could anyone help me if there is any perticular property to be enabled or any other solution to acheive the validations on People Editor Control Raj
