We encourage you not to modify it <br /><br />It's a good (if frightening) quote.<br /><br />Unlike many people, the sites I made did tend to use the standard UI as far as possible, because even in the earlier versions of SharePoint, that was a very clean looking (and usable) UI.<br /><br />However, even given that basic approach there was still the need for some minor amendments to the UI because of company requirements etc. and apart from that there was often a need for the kind of additional functionality that DVWPs brought to the site <b>in a controlled way</b>.<br /><br />In my words that was not "modifying" the UI, it was "tweaking" it.<br /><br />It seems to me that Mr. Teper doesn't get the difference and in fact by making such minor tweaking impossible without code, he is in fact pushing people in the direction he says he wants to avoid - or in other words in the direction of sites where Visual Studio is in use to provide similar functions to those available out-of-the-box and while the programmer is at it to amend the UI for good measure.<br /><br />Surely uncontrolled code is more likely to cause problems than non-code DVWPs where Microsoft has provided the DVWP code oob?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01340539813020194551noreply@blogger.com
