Demos delivered in this session
-
Building your first Power Platform community connector – start with this brilliant lay-of-the-land overview. Presenter advises learning by looking at configurations of existing connectors, of code samples, and by reviewing best practices documentation. Build your connector in the UI - naming, security (authentication requirement), definition (actions, triggers, references, responses…), code, and test operations. Then download it - the swagger or Open API file, using Paconn CLI.
-
Operators for Precision within List Formatting – Microsoft Excel like formatting in a SharePoint list is possible. Once you understand what you have – numbers or strings, precision formatting is easily achieved. Learn how to display folder and file sizes or numbers generally in lists with 2-digit precision / formatting (0.00), using various operators - toString, indexOf, substring, padStart, padEnd, ceiling, floor AND/OR with formulas in sample code.
-
Getting stated with Microsoft Teams Toolkit and Blazor – focusing on how to use Web Technologies to create a tab (Blazor app) inside of Teams using Visual Studio. Open new project (Microsoft Teams App) in Visual Studio. Install/open the Teams Toolkit (Preview) for Visual Studio. Configure for SSO. Click F5. Presto, a default page/tab is created with sample code and implements GraphClient. Register the AAD app and modify it as you please.
Thank you for your work. Samples are often showcased in Demos.
