SharePoint Server 2010 is the trending topic these days. And when talking about SharePoint 2010, how can I miss to mention one of the most valuable interface changes provided in it, i.e., the new Ribbon Menu. SharePoint Ribbon Menu is a contextual interface that allows users to execute any action related to ribbon controls depending upon the context the user is currently dealing with. Simply put, Ribbon Menu helps to add or replace buttons, groups, tabs or even the whole ribbon. You also remove the custom button from the ribbon. However¸ the designers and web developers, who until now were quite comfortable with designing master pages for SharePoint Server, are somewhat puzzled now with this thing called Ribbon Menu in the middle of their page. But there’s nothing to get confused about because the SharePoint 2010 API allows developers to extend and customize the ribbon using SharePoint features on site/site collection level.

There are several types of controls which can be deployed to SharePoint Ribbon, which are as follows:

· Button

· CheckBox

· DropDown

· FlyoutAnchor

· ToggleButton

The above given controls can be collected for usability purposes to containers such as Group and Tab. Consequently, it is possible to add controls with custom functionality not only to existing containers, but deploy new tabs and groups, and then add necessary controls to them. However, any ribbon customization should be mounted within XML in-feature declaration.

Loan modification having an affect on your credit rating entirely depends on a few events: Have you been prompt on your payments before you opted for loan modification or have you lagged behind sometimes? Were you and your lender in agreement about reducing the principle recoverable as chunk that is part and parcel of modification contract? It will not trigger a negative remark on your credit. This would be by reasons of unpunctual or missed and not sticking by the conditions of the loan agreement got into initially.

Loan modification also sometimes involves the lender waiving off some part of the principle amount owed. These cases are reported as paid less than what was owed and does not augur well for a good rating. Most of the time, there are already defaults in payment on record before the modification can come about. In these cases the modification benefits the borrower as his credit rating is now current and henceforth the loan is rated that way.

Loan modification happens to be a new alternative for homeowners and even lenders and hence there are no procedures framed or any precedence set up as to how credit agencies deal with it. One good way of going about it is to settle for an agreement come to with your lender which will secure your credit rating.
