Discussing the ins and outs of developing for SharePoint and the Microsoft platform

I have just finished putting together a new SharePoint project for Codeplex (again something I put together for Readify that they have let me share). This one is designed to report on broken links in a site. Basically it works by scanning a site collection to find all the links in any publishing HTML fields, link fields, summary link fields, summary link web parts and content editor web parts and then does a quick HTTP Request to make sure that there is something at that URL. This means it can reports on links to content both within the SharePoint site as well as links to external sites.

I have labeled the current release as a beta because I know there are features that should be in this that I haven’t had the chance to put in yet, but it does work quite well in its current form. Anyway if you want more info, or you want to download and try the link checker head over to codeplex and check it out!
