In the top right corner of a SharePoint site the user can select "My Settings" to update their details etc.
I am currently writing an automated app that will update user profiles from an Export we are getting on a nightly basis.
My question is...can i add extra fields to the information that is stored and editable against each user?
For example if I might want to add an "Office Location" field?
I am using WSS 3.0.
Inheriting 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
[Code].....
I'm currently refactoring an old Visual Basic DLL (VB.Net), which stores all of its data in one module called Globaldefinitions as public fields. There are about 200 fields, referenced thousands of times all around the code:
Public Module Globaldefinitons
Public a As Short
...
Public zz10 As Double
[Code]...
I need to change the module into a class with non-shared fields. This means, each and every of these thousands of references needs to reference the instance of that class:
globalDefinitionsInstance.a = 5
How do I go about this efficiently?
Regular expressions operating on the source fall flat. Refactoring tools like Re-Sharper or CodeRush don't seem to offer this functionality. Visual Studio 2010 cannot do it automatically either.
Class Foo
ReadOnly name As String
Public Sub New(name As String, dependentUpon As Foo)
Me.name = name
[code]....
The output of New Bar() is:
Dependent created. Dependent upon nothing.
Independent created. Dependent upon nothing.
It seems fields are initialized in the same order as they appear in the source code, which (a) leads to an unexpected result, and (b) seems a little puzzling, given that one is normally not permitted to read from uninitialized variables in .NET, yet that seems to be working fine above.I would've expected VB.NET to be smart enough to initialize referenced fields first, and only then those that reference it; i.e. I'd have liked to see this output instead:
Independent created. Dependent upon nothing.
Dependent created. Dependent upon Independent.
how to get VB.NET to behave like that instead, without simply having to swap the declaration order of dependent and independent inside class Bar?
I'm trying to create a table in Word using data from a table in Access. There are four fields in the access table that I need. 3 fields are text which I can populate the Word without any issues. However the fourth field is a memo with >255 characters.I'm struggling to come up with the proper code to allow me to populate the Word field with the memo data that has more than 255 characters. The code I have so far is listed below. But when it hits the memo field, it crashes on the line I marked with **. I know it's not text, but I've tried many different field types, but nothing has worked so far.[code]...
View 1 RepliesMy intent is to have the code - on a button.click event - check the Username and Password fields and return an error depending on which is wrong. Or if both are wrong, return a different error message. I've set the username as parts and the password as parts (still learning how to use external authentication). [Code]

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?

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.

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.
View 1 RepliesThe company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.
I have the following structure:OLD: frmMain (WinForm)uscStat (UserControl with Grid) In frmMain I'm able to make some settings and load the result of the settings via LinQ into the Grid of the uscStat.

I just wondered if you can or can't save arrays using the settings system object. There seems to be no way of entering it at designtime. It seems implied you cannot create new user settings.subobjects at runtime. I'm looking to find the easiest way to save a populated array of PictureBox's. If the only way is a self/custom made/managed .ini file then I need to know so i can start on that but I was hoping to use some of all this phaff in the new frameworks usefully.
