7910 Topics- PNP Search Results sort by titleHi. I have a PNP Search results webpart, that brings me all the Document Libraries in SharePoint site (that are not the standard ones Like site assets, pages etc) I want the results to be sorted, but i tried with sort column and it does not work, I want it to show in alphabetical order If i use "edit sort order" and select by title, it gives me an error I added a RefinableString where i have the title but it is still not sorting it How can i get this list sorted without having to add another column for the Title (with out the link) THank you7Views0likes0Comments
- CSOM: My “one query to rule them all” plan backfired — got “Request uses too many resources” 😅Hey folks, So I’ve been playing around with CSOM (Client-Side Object Model), feeling fancy about making one super-efficient query that loads everything I need at once. Something like this: clientContext.Load( clientContext.Web, w => w.SiteUsers.Include(...), w => w.Lists.Include(...), w => w.SiteGroups.Include(...) ); Basically, my thought was: “Why make multiple calls when I can just get everything in one go?” But CSOM had other plans. Instead of being impressed, it hit me with the dreaded: "Request uses too many resources." Even when I tried to be nice and limit the properties, it still said “Nope.” 🙃 So now I’m wondering: Is it actually more efficient (and safer) to create a new ClientContext for each object I want to query (like Web, SiteUsers, Lists, etc.)? Or am I just thinking about this the wrong way and missing some batching trick? Would love to hear how others handle this — or if there’s a secret sauce to making CSOM not freak out when you ask for too much.5Views0likes0Comments
- CSOM batch request: “Request uses too many resources” when loading multiple sites with GetSiteByUrlI’m currently exploring CSOM (Client-Side Object Model) and analyzing how property values for client objects such as Web and Site are requested and returned in XML format. I used Fiddler to inspect the request and response bodies. I’m now trying to implement a batch-based query where I load multiple sites with a limited set of properties using the GetSiteByUrl method. However, I’m running into this issue: When I load 10 sites, I get the error: “Request uses too many resources.” When I reduce the number to 8 sites, it works fine. I also compared the bytes sent and bytes received for different batch sizes (screenshot attached). So my question is: Is there a specific limitation on the total request size (bytes sent/received) or number of operations in a single CSOM batch request? If yes, is there any official documentation or guidance on how to determine these limits? Thanks in advance!11Views0likes0Comments
- Please tell me how to disable the Pin Copilot messageMorning! I wrote a message yesterday but nobody replied, so here's another one so it doesn't get lost Can somebody tell me how to disable the annoying "Pin Copilot Chat" popup? every morning I have to say "Maybe Later" when I really mean to say NEVER IN A THOUSAND YEARS42Views0likes1Comment

- Announcing Public Preview: AI Toolkit for GitHub Copilot Prompt-First Agent DevelopmentThis week at GitHub Universe, we’re announcing the Public Preview of the GitHub Copilot prompt-first agent development in the AI Toolkit for Visual Studio Code. With this release, building powerful AI agents is now simpler and faster - no need to wrestle with complex frameworks or orchestrators. Just start with natural language prompts and let GitHub Copilot guide you from concept to working agent code. Accelerate Agent Development in VS Code The AI Toolkit embeds agent development workflows directly into Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot, enabling you to transform ideas into production-ready agents within minutes. This unified experience empowers developers and product teams to: Select the best model for your agent scenario Build and orchestrate agents using Microsoft Agent Framework Trace agent behaviors Evaluate agent response quality Select the best model for your scenario Models are the foundation for building powerful agents. Using the AI Toolkit, you can already explore and experiment with a wide range of local and remote models. Copilot now recommends models tailored to your agent’s needs, helping you make informed choices quickly. Build and orchestrate agents Whether you’re creating a single agent or designing a multi-agent workflow, Copilot leverages the latest Microsoft Agent Framework to generate robust agent code. You can initiate agent creation with simple prompts and visualize workflows for greater clarity and control. Create a single agent using Copilot Create a multi-agent workflow using Copilot and visualize workflow execution Trace agent behaviors As agents become more sophisticated, understanding their actions is crucial. The AI Toolkit enables tracing via Copilot, collecting local traces and displaying detailed agent calls, all within VS Code. Evaluate agent response quality Copilot guides you through structured evaluation, recommending metrics and generating test datasets. Integrate evaluations into your CI/CD pipeline for continuous quality assurance and confident deployments. Get started and share feedback This release marks a significant step toward making AI agent development easier and more accessible in Visual Studio Code. Try out the AI Toolkit for Visual Studio Code, share your thoughts, and file issues and suggest features on our GitHub repo. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us!

- The Diagonal Suite: Gentle thunking goes a long way!I've become a big advocate for gentle thunking - using thunks to delay eager evaluation wherever possible in generalized Lambda development. The timings are quicker and the logic is cleaner. On the other hand, thunking the results of MAP, BYROW, or BYCOL - especially when it leads to rows of thunks - tends to introduce recombination overhead and complexity. I think thunking is often dismissed as “too complex,” and that’s understandable if someone’s first exposure involves unwrapping a row of thunks. When used gently thunking becomes indispensable. Typically, I introduce the thunks after the initial benchmarking to see the difference in the calculation times and the after is always quicker. To illustrate, I’ll share The Diagonal Suite - a collection of functions where thunking is used at every opportunity. Simple, clean, deferred logic. What are your thoughts on gentle thunking?
