Active Directory from extranet to intranet domain... Impersonation

Crap, created a application page that reads Active Directory on a Intranet.
But the infrastructure department has deployed it on a sharepoint on the Extranet domain.

Result, could'nt query the additional information in the Active Directory of the users on the intranet.
Somebody told me to use impersonation, but have no experience with this. If someone can help me... 
don't hesitate...

If I found a solution, I will keep you informed...
   

Access Active Directory in Sharepoint Application Page

Had to create a redirection page this week that forwarded some Active Directory information 
to an external Site for automatic loggon. When deploying my solution to the Sharepoint Server 
my code didn't worked for normal users. Found the solution that my testing user 
had Farm Admin privileges, for accessing the Active Directory normal users 
had'nt enougth rights to excecute the AD call.

Solution found on msdn was to elevate the privileges for specific part of code 
that needs that kind of rights.

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() {
// YOUR CODE THAT NEEDS ELEVATED PRIVILEGES
});
 

How to update a Hyperlink column

Today I had a little problem for updating a Hyperlink Column by using the List.asmx web service. 
I wanted to insert a New item with a Hyperlink Column but not only by giving the URL. 
So I searched how to add the description to the Column. 
Quickly found that you can use a comma to indicate the URL in the first part 
and the description in the second part. 

But as you know Sharepoint you must follow certain rules that where not 
descripted in the SharePoint Documentation.

So if you need to do the same, keep in mind next rules...

For updating or inserting a Hyperlink value in a Sharepoint list using the List.asmx web services,
make sure to follow these guidelines:
- Notice that URL needs to include “http://” e.g. http://www.google.com/
- If you want to specify a description, 
  make sure to include a space between the comma (,) and the description.  

So our URL field value needs to have ,,
e.g. http://www.google.com/, Google.

batch example:

<Batch OnError=\”Continue\”> 
 <Method ID=\”1\” Cmd=\”New\”> 
     <Field Name=\”URL\”>http://www.google.com, Google</Field> 
    </Method> 
</Batch>

How to format decimal in SharePoint Dataview

To translate numbers in SharePoint Dataview, SharePoint Designer generates
following code:

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(@YourField, "$#,##0.00;-$#,##0.00")"/>

Examples:

YourField
Result
 
12345
12,345.00
1234.5
1,234.50
0.0
 0.00


If YourField contains a "," you need to use the decimal-format functionality 
which will get you something like this:
Outside the xsl:template block:

<xsl:decimal-format name="European" decimal-separator=',' grouping-separator='.' />

To display the field:

<xsl:value-of select='format-number(translate(@YourField,",","."), "#.##0,00", "European")'/>

Examples:

YourField
Result
 
12345
12.345,00
1234.5
1.234,50
0.0
 0,00
