SharePoint makes HTTP POST to any http endpoint, the only task for us is to parse body correctly and send a response back. In this tutorial I’m going to show how to set up Azure Function, which acts as http endpoint for SharePoint Remote Event Receiver,...

Out of the box modal dialog framework has some number of methods for manipulating dialog window, but some methods (that might be useful) missed. For example programmatically maximize or restore dialog window. Here is a couple of extension...
