Demos

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.   Select 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.
