Site Restore in MOSS 2007

To Restore the Site in SharePoint 2007

stsadm.exe is in the following installation path"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\stsadm.exe"

Syntax :
stsadm.exe -o restore -url -filename

Example :
stsadm.exe -o restore -url http://localhost:2100/ -filename backup.dat

If you are trying to restore with the empty webapplication then the above command will successfully restore your backup.

If you want to restore your backup with the existing site then use -overwrite with the command.

stsadm.exe -o restore -url http://localhost:2100/ -filename backup.dat -overwrite

.Net Source Code To be Released

Hi Devs,
Its very very hard to believe, but its true Microsoft is going to Release .Net Source Code.

Info From Jim Galasyn's Blog

We are releasing the source code for .NET Framework base class libraries under the Microsoft Reference License, and the source code will be downloadable and viewable by anyone who accepts the license agreement.
In addition, Microsoft will introduce a capability in Visual Studio 2008 to allow you to debug into the .NET Framework source code using Visual Studio. With this capability, when you are stepping through code, you will be able to step into the source code for the .NET base class libraries.
This release will include the Base Class Libraries (BCL), Windows Forms, ASP.NET, System.Data, and WPF. BCL includes many of the basic classes in the framework including collections, string and text handling, IO,serialization, remoting, and others. We plan to include additional libraries into the set as time goes on.

The Great Info is the Source Codes are included with Comments.....Check ScottGu's Article
