How do I remove IT?
Since you need to view the page to edIT IT and delete the web part IT’s tricky when you add a web part to your page that causes an exception every time IT’s loaded. Here’s two simple options:
1) retract the solution in Visual Studio
2) use the ?Contents=1 parameter on the web page to see the list of web parts wIThout loading them. for example: http://intranet.contoso.com/SITePages/Home.aspx?Contents=1
Then fix your error or at least add exception handling

A while a go a write a short post on how to hide web part headers in SharePoint 2007. Recently I had some inquire how to do the same thing for SharePoint 2010. So, here is what to do in order to hide a web part header in SharePoint 2010.
1. Add a content editor web part to your page.
2. Edit the Web Part
3. Click in the content area of the web part, click HTML and select “Edit HTML Source”
4. Put the following code in the web part:
- <style>
- TR.ms-viewheadertr > TH.ms-vh2 {
- DISPLAY: none
- }
- </style>
5. Click “OK”
6. Expand “Appearance” (on the right side of the page)
7. Set the chrome type to “None”
8. Click “OK” and then save and check in your page.
The headers of your web part should now be hidden. This can be extremely helpful when your page contains a web part using “boxed” for your style when creating a list view. The only downside to this approach is if you have multiple web parts on a single page, it will hide the headers for all the web parts on your site.

I often get questions about how can a particular web part be branded separately from all the rest or be branded by type. For example you want every Contacts list to have a green header bar instead of a tan header bar. Or perhaps you want a column of web parts on a page to look different than the main area that contains other web parts.
The latter I have always had a solution for, the former I figured out something today. As with everything that I focus on, these are “no custom development” / “no .NET code” solutions. You can usually build whatever customization you need with custom code. If you would like to just rely on CSS however, here you go….

Y’all, the Content Editor Webpart in SP2010 has been totally redone. This is great because I distinctly remember people coming upto me and posing me with the following problem in SP2007 –
“I used the content editor webpart on my intranet to maintain some content, and now when I share this content over the extranet (different URL), all the URLs are now broken!”.
Well fear not! The content editor webpart in SharePoint 2010 has been new-i-fied. And I’m glad that it has been because seriously, it is a very useful webpart. Business users love the simplicity it offers. So what’s new in SP2010’s CEWP?
- Wiki like editing in edit mode – you edit the webpart, click on it’s client area, and .. well just type in what you want
- While editing, rich MS-Word like ribbon .. so it feels like you’re typing in word!
- Ability to still edit the HTML directly, and check this out, convert the typed in HTML to XHTML with a single button click. WOW! No longer can a business user blame you for unclean HTML, instead you can blame them .
- Right above the XHTML convert link on the ribbon, there is a very convenient link that allows you to select individual tags, and apply styles to individual tags. VERY VERY useful in producing clean and maintainable HTML right through WYSWYG.
- You can edit the content editor webpart, and point it to a txt file location where the actual content is. If you put in an absolute link to where the content is, the CEWP will try to make it a relative link per your AAM settings.
- If you put in an absolute link within the CEWP content, the CEWP will try to make it a relative link per your AAM settings.
- The ribbon shows you commands down to the tag level. Here is the ribbon for the Table, when you have time, check out the “icon” functionality in the hyperlink tag.
