SharePoint 2010 Designer Lists and Libraries View Returns an Empty View

This can happen if you restore a site from a SharePoint farm where a feature dependent list was created and this feature is not installed in the farm where the site is being restored. Please note that sometimes solutions such as U2U CAML Query Builder can create lists during feature activation. Once you have identified and removed the orphaned list, this issue should resolve. If you don’t have access to SharePoint Management Shell, you can delete the orphaned list in SharePoint Designer by selecting All Files –> Lists.

SharePoint 2010 Sandboxed Event Receiver doesn’t Fire

This can happen if feature activation is set to manual in the Visual Studio solution. Check the Site Collection Features or Site Features page by going to Site Settings and activate the feature if needed.

SharePoint Designer 2010 – You do not have permission to do this operation

I came across the following error while trying to open a SharePoint 2010 site in SharePoint Designer 2010:

“You do not have permission to do this operation. Ask your web site administrator to change your permissions and then try again, or log in with a user account that has this permission. To log on with a different user account click OK”

After spending sometime, it turns out the anonymous authentication was disabled in IIS for some reason.

After enabling the anonymous authentication, I was able to open the site collection in SharePoint Designer 2010.
