Here are some more SharePoint hacks (continuing on from my last post here)

First off some hacks for the SPGridView which is actually a pretty useful control, but fails to do a few things, like displaying attachment columns as-per SharePoint's default List views (with a little paper-clip symbol), and the second (and much more annoying) it doesn't use the current users regional settings / timezone for formatting DateTime values.

The hacks:

• Attachments bound field
• Localized DateFime bound field

And finally support for a ListForm replacement web part - after trying to customize the ListForm to suit a customers requirements by creating a CustomListForm in SharePoint designer I gave up in disgust because it's just too limited in what it lets you achieve, and worst of all, it breaks attachments support!  So I wrote a small web part to replace it, which allows for fine-grained control of visibility and editability (if that's even a word) of each field, and as an added bonus it doesn't break the attachments functionality.  I also wanted to add additional links/buttons to the form which triggered a save including validation etc. - so I did a little hack to implement that as well.

• Web part to replace New or Edit ListForm
• Adding links to the Edit Form web part
  

I might have a few more to post before the end of the project - but it's almost wrapped up, so these may be the last for a while.

Hopefully someone out there finds them useful.
