1) Issue: SP2010 Ajax Issues

 

2) Issue: Features developed for SP2007 are not getting deployed in SP2010 and the error is "Invalid Type definition in the elements xml"

    Description: Issue is a bug in WSS, due to which several users coded the elements xml for a event receiver with Type parameter as integer value. This value need to be a Enum value and SP2010 got it fixed due to which all the earlier elements xmls with integer values will fail to deploy.

    Solution: Replace the integer values with the appropriate enum values in the elements xml and deploy.
