Problem: We cannot add several file types to a SharePoint Site with SharePoint Designer or through a WSP solution. Examples are: ashx, dll, exe, msi. Error: "Server error: The following file(s) have been blocked by the administrator: /Style Library/Empower/images/Imfuscator.dll" Solutions: - From Microsoft: place your files in a zip and upload them packaged - Configuring Central Admin: Security, Define blocked file types (/_admin/BlockedFileType.aspx) - For SharePoint Online / Office 365: Issue a "Service Request" (https://portal.microsoftonline.com/Support/ServiceRequests.aspx)

Where did "Connect to another library..." go? It is gone (at least for beta). My fix is to create a fully filtered and customized data view webpart in the root site, and then export it to a file to add to a subsite later. You can also use the Content Query Web Part. Here goes a post from someone on the inside: "unfortunately, we removed the UI for connecting to other lists. This feature had some issues in 2007, so we decided to cut it. Here are a couple workarounds in SPD 2010: 1. If you are a site collection admin, you can go to the library's view in SPD and save it to the web part gallery (web part tab > save to gallery). From there you can insert it into any site in that site collection. 2. If you are not a site collection admin, you can go to the library's view in SPD and save it to a file (web part tab > save to file). From there you can drag and drop the file onto the design surface. These touch on what I meant to say in my previous comment - "...

- Cannot connect to SPD 2010 Site? - Don't have enough permissions? - Not getting "All Sites" and "Masterpages" options? Here's what do do: - Make sure SPD is active in Central Admin options - Add User to Central Admin users - Add user to Web Application And then you have it
