I need to get hold of the Sharepoint DLL's. I understand that these are available from the Sharepoint server however the company I work for is quite large and the server is not anywhere I can get close to to copy the DLL's. Is there somewhere I can download these so I can start to develop my VB.NET application locally!
View 2 RepliesI am trying to understand how to interact with external DLLs written in C++ for use in my VB.NET application. I have some DLLs that a client wrote that do some math functions. Everything was working on a 32-bit machine. Because we were taxing the 32-bit machine we moved to 64-bit. Now we can't get the same functions to work. The DLLs were re-compiled as 64-bit DLLs and they still don't work. So my client wrote some dummy DLLs to see if we could figure out the problem. Here are the "signatures" of the DLL calls that I am making:[code]....Ultimately I would like to get to calling initialize_quiet and I am guessing at the format of the marshalling, const size etc.

I am trying to manipulate SPListItem permissions on folders in a document library but I can't seem to add any new permissions, though removing security inheritance works beautifully.I've done my best to create a slimmed down version of the code for testing purposes. The function GetListItem returns the SPListItem we are working with based on the URL. The item.BreakRoleInheritance(False) works great and I've verified properly breaks inheritance and clears out any permissions, I've also tried it with the True flag and verified that all original permissions are copied from the parent.
The code below throws no exceptions and as far as I can tell appears to work fine, until I check the actual permissions on the folder in my document library and see that "Viewers" is not listed.

I've developed a Word template in VSTO. When published it consits of several files including a Setup.exe, several msi files etc.Due to the fact that my company's security policy won't allow me to store dlls and exes on the server I need an alternative way to provide all the necessary stuff to the end user. I thoght it would be enough if I:
1) execute the setup.exe file on each client machine (it says everything got properly installed)
2) upload the xxx.dotm file to sharepoint and register it
3) edit policy settings
but it doesn't. When a user creates a new Document inside sharepoint using "New"->"xxx" the requested document loads without any error message and show the document but Word won't load any extensions / ribbons etc.
I know this might sound a little silly. but I'm confused as to what language does sharepoint code behind uses? do they use vb or c#? or is it possible to use eithe

How to get file from SharePoint portal using VBA
View 2 RepliesOKay, I'm from a PHP background, but I've just been tasked with developing some custom Web Parts in SharePoint. I've figured out how to create and deploy a basic "Hello world" web part in VB. Okay so far.
how do I lay out things in a VB web part?
For an example, here's a label and a textbox:
protected overrides sub createchildcontrols()
mybase.createchildcontrols
dim mylabel as new label
[Code].....
How would I, for example, get mylabel and my textbox to appear on different lines, rather than running one after the other as they do now? In PHP I'd just wrap them in some top break them onto differnt lines, but how do I do it here?
I know this might sound a little silly. but I'm confused as to what language does sharepoint code behind uses? do they use vb or c#? or is it possible to use either?

View 5 RepliesInheriting from the System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.EditorPart class I have been shown that it is possible to expose a public property in your VisualWebPart that when updated through the EditorPart will be automagically persisted in sharepoint.
The problem I have run into is saving strings and integers works great but when I attempt to persist the value of a collection such as List<String> the object is not saved.
The code looks like this.
Public Class MyCustomEditorPart
Inherits EditorPart
Public Overrides Function ApplyChanges() As Boolean

In the top right corner of a SharePoint site the user can select "My Settings" to update their details etc.

How would I go about uploading an entire directory and all sub-directories and files to a SharePoint 2010 Server?

View 3 RepliesI am initializing a GridView, text box and a button via code to a Webpart in CreateChildControls()The above controls are declared as class variables but initialized only later.Next, I've given the handler for button click. The handler function is supposed to work as a search - perform some operations on the content entered in the textbox, load the results in the Gridview, display the Gridview.When I type something in the text box and hit the button, the same controls load again and the content entered in the text box is lost. I've tried ViewState() and ViewState() but to no avail. The grid doesn't show because my logic skips attempting to bind it since a proper search string was not available.My questions:
1) Where/how can I get the values postback from the textbox?
2) Will it make sense to populate the GridView in PreRender() or will Event Handling happen after PreRender()? [code]
I'm attempting to add a calendar to one of our VB.NET Web Forms-based websites which will be used for scheduling purposes. We want to have this calendar sync with our corresponding Sharepoint calendar.
My problem is this: I know that I can integrate a Web Part into a Web Forms page; can said Web Part use a calendar from our Sharepoint site as its data source?
I'd like to write an app that would allow users to modify existing records in a WSS sharepoint list and/or create new records.I feel confident that its possible, but I just don't know exactly how. Sharepoint access, for me, is accessed with domain credentials, so I"d need some method for getting those from the user, in the winform, and passing those along to the WSS server.

I will be developing a program using visual studio 2008 with ms access 2007 as my database. What I only use is this type of connection string: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:mydatabase.mdb;Jet OLEDB:System Database=system.mdw;" but i was asked if it is possible to put the database in sharepoint and I haven't even tried it before. The case is like this, the program that i will do would be installed on some computer units of different branches of the company then the database should be accessible through sharepoint so that every users can access the most updated database.
