Sharepoint 2010: Updating From Client Object Model?
Feb 17, 2011
I am not sure where to post this as I didn't see a forum for SharePoint on here. I hope someone can help me with this.I have a form sitting on a webapp outside of the sharepoint server (which is why I am using the Client Object Model). To make a long story short the form is sending data to a SP list. This list is made up of regular string fields, date fields, lookup lists, choice lists and user data.
I am able to insert data that isn't part of a list with no issues. However, when I update any of the lookup lists i receive the following error:Invalid look-up value. A look-up field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again. So I then wrote code that went to the list and got the entire item as follows (please bare in mind this is not very eloquent, but it gets the data)
I have a .net asp app that updates a SP form. I am using the Client object model. Currently when inserting a record the record is inserted using the App pool ID. Is it possible to somehow set the context to use the ID of the person logged into the webapp or a custom ID separate from the default. I can't find any data in this in the web or gong through the context methods.
I am currently developing a service using the SharePoint 2010 Client Object Model to programmatically upload Excel worksheets to a Drop Off Library and then set the properties on the file. This process is working well. However, the Drop Off Library is governed by Content Organizer Rules that aren't being applied to the uploaded file. I have examined every property I thought I could have missed: [code] What's most frustrating is that if I edit the document properties using the Web UI and check it back in without making any changes, the file is moved to its final location. What might I have overlooked that is preventing Content Organizer Rules from being applied to newly uploaded files when using SP2010 COM?
MVC 3, VB.NET, RAZOR app, using EF. I am having an issue in my post function with the database not updating at all... Using a break at db.savechanges() I look at the variable and all of the correct information is contained in the UpdateModel( ) part. But no dice the code executes and returns no errors so all looks fine but when I look at the database table it has not been changed at all, all of the old values are still present.. Function is as follows:
<AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)> Function EditCourse(ByVal _eCourse As cours) As ActionResult Dim id As Integer = _eCourse.course_id
I've installed sharepoint server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 in my server. So I want to start to programming, do I have to install MOSS 2007 in my client computer? or just only with sharepoint designer? How do I start with that?
Using Office automation in Word 2007, I view the Document Information Panel, showing me properties of a document that resides in a SharePoint location. Using VS 2008, I interrogate the following in the Immediate Window:
[code]...
but I don't see a corresponding change to the screen. I do however see that, on Advanced Properties/Custom Tab that a Custom Property by the name of "Process Name" has been recorded with the value "New Value"There seems to be some kind of one way mapping going on between "server" and "custom" properties, but the really strange part is:I can update SOME server properties, others I cannot.I don't know a darn thing about SharePoint, other than as a dumb user. And getting any help from a SharePoint admin in my company is probably a very long shot...I checked all of Word's Built-in Properties and Custom Properties, I decided that none of them can be used to update the "Process Name" "server" property.How can I update this stubborn property? Most of the server properties I can update, a few I cannot.I see some articles referring to using what looks like "SharePoint objects." Do I need to download an SDK just to populate these properties? So far I've used Office automation, because I am running locally on the user's PC and pre-filling documents using the Word object model. All that is left is to finish populating the last couple of server properties after I copied the doc to a Sharepoint folder.
I created a report using report document object model in visual studio 2008 with vb.net. But I found one error. When the user clicks export button in client side, the following error will show. But the first time is OK before the user clicks export button.
Logon failed. Details: ADO Error Code: 0x Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Description: Login failed for user 'zanhtet'. SQL State: 42000 Native Error:
This is calling report code.
Dim ReportDocument As New ReportDocument() Dim ReportPath As String = Server.MapPath("~/ReportDocumentOM/DBlogInRDOM.rpt")
Private mdbContext As PFModelContainer Private mdbTransactions As Object
Before I did it this way:
Private mdbContext As New PFModelContainer Private mdbTransactions As mdbContext.Transactions
Thinking maybe I was doing something wrong I changed it over to the first way, then I do:
Public Sub New() mdbContext = New PFModelContainer mdbTransactions = mdbContext.Transactions End Sub
Once I hit mdbContext = New PFModelContainer it takes me over to the PFModel.Designer.vb Where it steps through the following:
Public Sub New() MyBase.New("name=PFModelContainer", "PFModelContainer")
At which point it terminates execution of the code. This is the error it gives me on the Immediate window:
A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Data.Entity.dll
Is there something I can do to make this error go away? I tried deleting the project and recreating it with my old .edmx model that I downloaded from Mozy from when it used to work. It stopped working (as far as I can tell) after I changed the .edmx model and updated it. Maybe I did something else in the other project too, but I'm not recalling anything.This is what is in the app.config:
Should I be referencing System.Data.EntityClient and System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5 somewhere?The EDMX property Entity Container Name is PFModelContainer and the Namespace is PFModel.
I'm developing a business model for an application where I am representing physical entities. The hierarchy created from this is neat, but as I'm doing this, I'm beginning to think about things like, what properties should be included in one that may already be apart of another? Or what if some properties are expected to be in one object, but another object needs to return that value, how does it communicate that request through the hierarchical chain? And what is the best practice for this design?
[Code]...
But then I got to thinking, what if I have a ConnectionPoint entity and I want it to return which Panel it has? Should it have it's own Panel association as well? Or should there be a method/pattern for communicating the request up the chain? And again... what's typical best practice?
I have some data that is contained in HTML tables within a webpage. I need the simplest means of extracting the data for storeage in SQL tables. I am knowledgeable of how to add the data to SQL tables...this portion of the code is already written. I would like to pull the data into the VB.NET 2008 environment using the XML DOM or a more efficient option.
If I am using with WebBrowser how I can add tags to source code of the page in runtime (Make a changes on site). For example: I have site with this <html><head> Test page </head><body> this is the text </body></html> Now how possible to add elements/tags to text in runtime?
I have an application that creates desktop shortcuts. To do this I have to reference the Windows Script Host Object Model. When I add it as a reference, it always creates the DLL, Interop.IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll, in the objx86Debug directory, then references itself to it, rather than looking at wshom.ocx. Even if I add reference wshom.ocx it reverts to saving the file in the objx86Debug directory. The problem is if I move my application to another computer without that DLL being present, the program fails to run.
How would I go about uploading an entire directory and all sub-directories and files to a SharePoint 2010 Server?
I don't think this function is specifically built into SharePoint (just uploading multiple documents in one folder). But the way I understand it, I can write something in VB or C# to accomplish this.
webpart vb.bet 2010 not visual webpart I want to grab the selectindexchanged, and run the code after button click. I only really need is the SelectedItem.Text
here's how I did it in VB.net asp page.
Protected Sub listbox_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Click_button
I have some code that locates all the contact folders that a user has access to by iterating through the Application.Session.Stores collection.This works for the user's contacts and also all the public contacts folders. It also finds all the contacts folders in additional mailbox accounts that the user has added via the Tools -> Account Settings... menu command.
However, this requires the user to have full access to the other person's account. When a user only has access to another person's contacts, then that person's contacts show up under the "People's Contacts" group in the Contacts view. How do I find those contact folders that don't show up under Session.Stores?
In order to see the other user's contacts folder without adding access to their full mailbox, click File -> Open -> Other User's Folder... from the Outlook menu. In the dialog box, enter the other user's name and select Contacts from the Folder type drop down list.
Here's the code (minus the error checking and logging) I'm using to find a list of all the user's Outlook contact folders. I know this can (and maybe should) be done using early binding to the Outlook.Application type, but that doesn't affect the results. EnumerateFolders is recursive so that it searches all sub folders.
Dim folderList = New Dictionary(Of String, String) Dim outlookApp = CreateObject(Class:="Outlook.Application") For Each store As Object In outlookApp.Session.Stores EnumerateFolders(folderList, store.GetRootFolder) Next
I am currently working on a Database that collects information. Firstly, i use a new windows form to collect that data. I have it set up to where, when the form loads, the database is ready to collect the information fields. And then the form closes on the button click to add that data, it does not update that data table view. It adds it once i close the program and debug it again.
Code: (Open the windows form) Private Sub btnAddNew_Click_1(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddNew.Click AddNewClientData.ShowDialog()
[Code].....
Problem two: I need to make a button that will increment a cell that was set as an Int, by one, but can't figure out how to put it into code.
I have developed a website that allows users to upload office documents then uses the office object model to convert the document to an HTML file that it then displays in an iFrame. I have, of course, included references to Office.interop.word, and the site works fine on my development machine. When I uploaded it to my production server the site functions fine until I try to upload a document. I initially got a similar error that said "COM object not registered". I realized that Word wasn't installed on my production server. So I installed word and now when the server tries to access the word object model I receive the following error:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
I searched the registry for the corresponding CLSID and found a corresponding folder. I added full control to the IUSR_ account and due to the persistence of the error I eventually added full control to "everyone" and ensured these permissions inherited down to the rest of the folder. I then added full control to IUSR_ and again eventually added full control to "everyone" to my microsoft office folder.
I don't know what other permissions to grant and where in order to make this "Access is denied" error go away. I must be granting them in the wrong place, because as far as I know I can't be any more permissive than "Everyone" "Full Control".
Am having problem updating in gridview with vb.net, the C# version worked fine but the VB is throwing this error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. below is my code:
Can't find any free ones so thought I would work on one on my own for the heck of the learning experience with TCP stuff.I'm about ready to start on the messaging aspect of it.The biggest thing I'm wondering about is figuring out when people are online.I'm not too sure how the whole thing works.Say I turn on my messenger. Would my messenger just send a message to all IPs on a certain port to say I'm online and then wait for a message back from the IPs that can return messages and then figure out who is online that way?
Hey guys, I am trying to send data from client to server (encrypted) and the string sent from the client is not the same as recieved from the server. I've been killing my brain for hours to get this to work but I cant manage. Im converting everything to Base64 string.
Client:
Public Sub SendMessage(ByVal msg As String) Try SyncLock myclient.GetStream sw = New IO.StreamWriter(myclient.GetStream)
Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
I am trying to switch from a SingleCall Remoting infrastructue to a client activated object infrastructure. But can't get it to work. Probbaly a setting. On the hosting server (a console application) I have:
I would like to know the best, or standard, way to accomplish real-time client updates in a small multi-user application using an access data table as a data source.Specifically, this application will be used by 3-4 people. It uses a datatable which is filled on form load and bound to a datagrid at design time. The datatable is stored on a shared drive. The data table on the shared drive is updated in two ways:
1) Users can update the datagrid which then updates the datatable on the shared drive via the data adapter's Update method.
2) A server application does some work on some text files, periodically updating the data table.
I need the clients to reflect the changes to the data table on the shared drive as closely to real-time as possible. I know that the data table stored in memory on the client is disconnected from the data table on the shared drive, so I must query again to get the updates.
1) Is there an alternvative model I can use which is connected, and which will automatically reflect the updates in the data table on the shared drive?
2) If not, what is the best way to check for changes in the data table (so I can know when to call the data adapter fill method)? I am planning to poll the drive for a change to the .mdb file, raise an event and then fill the data adapter when the event is triggered. I am using this method successfully now to check for changes to a text file in another application, and I know how to implement it?

I am writing in VS2005 what, on the face if it, should be a relatively simple DLL, which will allow me to build a list of custom objects when called from within Excel 2007. To do this I have a Column and Columns class. As implied, Columns is a list of Column objects. The relevant classes are defined as follows:
I'm trying to concatenate an object that instantiates the client class (for example) with their respective property that ONLY through a variable, like this:Dim fieldx As String fieldx = "Name" Dim customer As New Customer customer.fieldx = "Joseph" customer.Name = "Joseph"
Actually I use array, but to simplify my question, I used a variable as an example.The error is that the compiler tries to find a property with the name fieldx in my class. How to tell the compiler to retrieve the value contained in the variable instead the name of it?
I am trying to send an Arraylist over to my server to broadcast to all other clients but I am not sure after serializing it, how do I proceed to send across. [code]....
I'm trying to serialize an object so that I can send it over the internet to another client. There is 1 problem however I wrote the code and it threw an exception, I searched google to see what I had done wrong.
