SharePoint: Visual Web Part CSS Reference

Adding a CSS reference to a visual web part is quite simple:

<SharePoint:CssLink ID="Test" runat="server" DefaultUrl="Url/blah.css" />

The problem comes when referencing a relative url with spaces in it. To URL Encode or not, that is the question.

Initially, I have the reference as DefaultUrl="/Style%20Library/blah.css", but it was not being picked up by the web part. When I opened the source of the page, I found why - the url was being URL encoded by Sharepoint. This means that the URL in the source was

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Style%2520Library/blah.css"/>

The URL was now double encoded.

I removed the %20 from the Url to resolve the problem.

SharePoint 2013: Error updating managed account credentials

I encountered the following message when trying to change a password for a managed account: Error deploying administration application pool credentials. Another deployment may be active. An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition named "job-admin-apppool-change" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4".  Rename your object or delete the existing object. The error message is self explanatory - Rename your object or delete the existing object.  I choose the latter. Powershell to the rescue. $job = Get-SPTimerJob -Identity "job-admin-apppool-change" $job.Delete() Reset the password and all should be good.
