2012-02-01T14:48:00.001+07:00

Following errors occurred to me when InfoPath form services trying to access user profile service. my profile connections are stored in a udx file.

The following query failed: User Profile (User: domain\user, Form Name: Template, IP: , Connection Target: http://server/sites/capex/DataConnectionsLibrary/userprofile.udcx, Request: http://server/sites/capex/SitePages/Home.aspx, Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:list:-AutoGen-2011-02-21T05:15:34:497Z Type: DataAdapterException, Exception Message: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. Server was unable to process request. ---> Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation. The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.)

in here first i looked for cross site reference issue (here). but it is not the problem. then i found running Application Pool set to Anonymous Access true. Then i disabled the anonymous access and it worked for me.

Set Default Zoom Level in Visio Web Access Web Part in SharePoint 2010

2012-01-26T17:15:00.001+07:00

Here i got a problem of Visio Web Part (actually problem for me) It is changing zoom level to view maxim as possible. so in my requirement i want it to be 100 in default.

So i opened the page (That is having the Visio Web Part ) in SharePoint Designer and search the word “Zoom” and it returned Web part configuration line as follows.

ViewSettings="{"pageIndex":0,"viewBounds":{"x":-97,"y":-44,"width":938,"height":775},"zoomValue":100}"

here you can see zoom level is specified. So i changed it to 100 and save it back.

hooray…. It worked for me.

This worked for me.

How to Customize SharePoint List Content Display using Content Query Web Part

2011-12-20T16:54:00.001+07:00

Here I'm going to describe how we can use Content Query Web Part to Style SharePoint List. Thus Assume we are having a SharePoint List Called Projects with Following Fields.

As you already knew default look and feel would be like below.

Now I'm going to render this list in to format something like below.

Step One

First you need to define Some names for these place holders (Yeh., I know this do not make any sense to you. But don’t worry just do the step). Thus I'm going to define these columns as follows.

Title –> MyTitle
Logo –> MyLogo
Project Summary –> MySummary
Project Description –> MyDesc

Step Two

Now you want to define a XSL Style Sheet using these names. Therefore I'm going to use <table> to layout the list item as below.

<xsl:template name="MyStyle" match="Row[@Style='MyStyle']" mode="itemstyle"> <table border='1'>    <tr>        <td colspan="2"><h3><xsl:value-of select="@MyTitle" /></h3></td>    </tr>    <tr>        <td>            <img>            <xsl:attribute name="src">                <xsl:value-of select="@MyLogo" />            </xsl:attribute>            </img>        </td>        <td>            <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="@MySummary" />         </td>    </tr>    <tr>        <td colspan="2">            <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="@MyDesc" />        </td>    </tr>    </table> </xsl:template>

here i used XSLT to position the content inside my html tags. There are few attributes which are mandatory in this section.

Name and Match should have equal names.
- name =’X’ match=Row[@style=’X’]
mode = ‘itemstyle’

now you have created XSLT which can given as a list style in the SharePoint.

Step Three

here we are going to put XSLT to the SharePoint.

First you need to open the SharePoint designer with the particular site. Then navigate to All Files and Style Library.

Here you can see many Folders inside. Now you have to go to XSL Style Sheet Folder.

Now you can see XSL files which are used by SharePoint to render it’s content. Here we are using ItemStyle.xsl for enable custom rendering.

Thus open this xsl file and put your xsl (when we created in step two) in the bottom of the xsl as follows.

Now difficult things are over.

Step Four

Add a Content Query Web Part

then go to edit web part and and browse your list. ( here our list is Our Projects )

Then go to presentation section. and go little bit down. You can see style drop down.
Wow .. Now you can see your style.

Ok the then select your custom xsl ( here MySample).
When you select you can see something like below.

Now you need to put actual list column names to these text boxes as follows.(Title column should use with the scope)

Then Click ok to Save. Now Every thing ok. You can see your new list rendering now.

Happy SharePoint :)

How to use SharePoint Feature to Activate and Deactivate Custom SharePoint Master page

2011-12-14T12:44:00.001+07:00

Below example only set the Master page Url but not the custom master page URL. thus Layout pages will be same after you deploy the master page. You can also change the Custom master page URL also.

Feature Activation

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
    SPWeb web = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;

    string urlMaster;
    string urlCustom;

    if (@"/".Equals(web.ServerRelativeUrl))
    {
        urlMaster = @"/_catalogs/masterpage/BLLICT.master";
        urlCustom = @"/_catalogs/masterpage/v4.master";
    }
    else {
        urlMaster = string.Concat(web.ServerRelativeUrl , @"/_catalogs/masterpage/BLLICT.master");
        urlCustom = string.Concat(web.ServerRelativeUrl , @"/_catalogs/masterpage/v4.master");
    }

    web.MasterUrl = urlMaster;
    web.CustomMasterUrl = urlCustom;

    web.Update();

}

Feature Deactivation (Reverse to Original Master)

public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
    SPWeb web = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;
    string urlCustom;

    if (@"/".Equals(web.ServerRelativeUrl))
    {
        urlCustom = @"/_catalogs/masterpage/v4.master";
    }
    else
    {
        urlCustom = string.Concat(web.ServerRelativeUrl,  @"/_catalogs/masterpage/v4.master");
    }

    web.MasterUrl = urlCustom;
    web.CustomMasterUrl = urlCustom;

    web.Update();
}

How to impersonate SharePoint Programmatically

2011-12-07T18:47:00.001+07:00

There are many occurrences that we need to impersonate our SharePoint requests to server. Otherwise SharePoint will use system account or context credentials to perform the task.

In my case i want to programmatically approve a workflow task. but then i noticed it is showing modifiedby as system account so i used following code to change the user credentials to intended user.

SPUserToken ApprovingUser = web.GetUserToken(“domain\username”);

using (SPSite site = new SPSite(“Site Url”, ApprovingUser))
{
    using (SPWeb wb = site.OpenWeb())
    {
        /* Do Anything You want */
    }
}

SPWorkflowTask.AlterTask throws “Specified method is not supported”

2011-12-07T12:00:00.001+07:00

This error occurred to me when i was trying to programmatically approve a task in the SharePoint 2010.

Later on I found that the problem is the Task List do not have the content Type WorkFlow Task inherited. After i add that content type it worked for me.

How to Use & Character in SharePoint List Instance’s Field value

2011-12-01T11:13:00.001+07:00

There are some special characters which we can use in the XML. thus XML parser will return something like Entity X not defined like errors. this problem comes using ok special characters such as &, > and etc.

Following shoes hoe you can use XML special characters inside the Field values in XML or SharePoint list instance creation.

   <Data>
      <Rows>
         <Row>
             <Field Name="Value" ><![CDATA[ & ]]></Field>
          </Row>
      </Rows>
    </Data>

you can use any special character inside the  CDATA tag.

This document resides in a document library that is not trusted.

2011-11-28T10:52:00.001+07:00

This error i got when I'm opening a SharePoint Task from MS Outlook. So it is pretty forward. You need to add the source site to the Trusted Sites in the IE (Internet Explorer) or ask network security admin to trust it from the proxy policies.

Security settings for this service require Windows Authentication but it is not enabled for the IIS application that hosts this service.

There can be many reasons for this. but before checking any of those web configuration things check the Authentication section in the virtual directory in IIS.

How to do SharePoint 2010 Content Deployment

2011-10-24T13:41:00.001+07:00

There are many articles in the web by describing Content Deployment in SharePoint 2010. But most of the time (In my case it do not work fine always in first time :-( ) it is not working property and giving plenty of errors which direct us to restoring the backup rather than trying Content Deployment in the SharePoint Server.

Here I'm going to my experiences and how I'm resolving those errors and little bit of background about the SharePoint Content Deployment. Luckily i have manage to successfully proceed with the SharePoint Content Deployment most of the time.

What is SharePoint Content Deployment

Content deploy can be use to export (deploy) content from one site collection to another site collection. content deployment is taking care of following contents in the source site collection.

Web pages – Deploy corresponding images styles , master pages and etc.
libraries
lists
resources

Content Deployment do not deploy

programs
assemblies
features
configuration information(Web.config)

Most of the time Content Deployment fails due to features. in the later i will explain how to over come these issues.

How to Configure SharePoint 2010 Content Deployment

We will use following scenario for the deployment

First you need to create a site collection in the production server (Our One is production/sites/ALR) which you are going to use in the content deployment.

When you are creating I'm always using site template as Select Template Later in the Custom Tab.You can use the blank template also but I'm recommending this one because this one worked for me all the times.

After that you need to configure content deployment

For than go to Central Administrator –> General Application Settings–> Configure Content Deployment in the Production Server

go to this and

allow Accept incoming content deployment jobs in Accept Content Deployment Jobs section.

select Do not require encryption in connection security.(If you want you can use https also. but for the moment select the other one. )

Then Go to Development Server and proceed following steps to configure deployment path and job.

First we need to Configure Deployment Job. For that Go to Central Administrator of the development machine and then General Application Settings and then Configure content deployment paths and jobs.

then select New Job to create new content deployment job.

Then Specify Title and Description (Optional) and for the source application select Source Web Application as Development and Source Site site collection as /sites/ALR ( this is as per scenario you can choose your one)

then you need to give production server Central Admin URL with the Port to Destination Central Administration Web Application. here i found that some times we need to give the with IP addresses. but most of the time URL will work.

Then we need to provide authentication information. here most users are failing in this point (I were also). because what ever the selection we made we have to provide user name and password. Earlier i thought if we select windows authentication it does not need but it is not. Following shows sample values for Authentication Information

after that select the destination Web Application and Site collection in Destination web application and site collection section.

For the moment leave Deploy User Names selected and Security Information All.

The SharePoint Automatically Create a Quick Deployment Job for you.

For the moment leave this and create a Deployment Job by right clicking the Deployment Configuration.

Here you can schedule the content deployment but for the movement select following options but of cause you can change them as you want later.

SQL Snapshots --> Do not use SQL Snapshot
Scope --> Entire Site Collection

the clink and finish the job creation. then you will see following kind of a menu.

Now the hard part comes. In the Menu Click Run Now or Test Job. (I’m Recommending Test Job before actually run the Job. Because some times Run Now deploy content partially and failed thus better to Test the Job before it is actually run. ) Then Most of the Time you will get Test Failed. If Not you are very lucky, thus you can proceed with the Run Now. But if you get Test Failed (sure you are :-) ) Following are the workaround you can fixed those errors.

Following are the most common errors you are getting..

Could not find Feature someFeature.

This error coming because this feature is not in the Production Server. Thus Install the Feature to the production server and run the Test Job again, then it will say another feature is missing thus keep on adding or removing unnecessary features in the development machine until it get succeed. You can find more feature details by using power shell commands (click here).

Could not find Feature FT-01-bbb35132-7695-139b-2e18-27444285e766.

These features are InfoPath Form Template Features. Thus get the relevant Form template and upload it to the production server. The run the Test Job and see the progress.

If every thing finds most of the time you are getting these kind of errors.

An unexpected error has occurred
A list, survey, discussion board, or document library with the specified title already exists in this Web site. Please choose another title.
Unable to import the folder _catalogs/fpdatasources. There is already an object with the Id d029169b-1f86-4275-bb99-dd78a48f7952 in the database from another site collection.

These errors are coming because content database is having these objects and those are orphan in the site collection. thus you can repair the content database to delete these orphan objects in the particular site collection.

thus you can use following power shell command to get rid of these errors (click here).

Repair SharePoint Database

2011-10-24T13:36:00.001+07:00

sometimes you may encountered with problems such as restoring failures and content deployment failures thus it is better to repair the database and see where is there any orphan objects in the site collection.

For that go to SharePoint Management Shell as an administrator,

use following command

stsadm -o databaserepair -url <url name> -databasename <database name>

Example,

here no Orphaned Objects found if they are listed run the command with deletecorruption option.

stsadm -o databaserepair -url <url name> -databasename <database name> -deletecorruption

Power Shell Command for get SharePoint Feature (SP Feature) By ID

2011-10-18T17:28:00.001+07:00

Use following power shell command to search and get the SharePoint Feature.

Get-SPFeature -Identity ID

SharePoint Solution deployment not working and Falling in the front end after installing the SP1 (SharePoint Service Pack 1)

2011-10-18T16:37:00.001+07:00

This issue is also generate the following event log.

Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance

Reason: Requested registry access is not allowed.

Technical Support Details:
System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed.
at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance.Synchronize()
at Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ApplicationServerJob.ProvisionLocalSharedServiceInstances(Boolean isAdministrationServiceJob)

these might be other reason also like not having correct permission to the application pool running user. But in my case i solved it by running the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard.

I had issue with resubmitting the form when user refresh the form. i had to disable this accidental behavior in the MVC3. Yes of cause we can redirect to another action to prevent this behavior. but in my case i do not want to do that. there fore i used following JavaScript to disable browser refresh and back button.

<script>
    window.history.forward(1);
    document.attachEvent("onkeydown", my_onkeydown_handler);
    function my_onkeydown_handler() {
        switch (event.keyCode) {

            case 116: // 'F5' 
                event.returnValue = false;
                event.keyCode = 0;
                window.status = "F5 disabled";
                break;
        }
    } 
</script>

How to Improve Workflow Performance in SharePoint Server 2010

2011-09-08T18:00:00.001+07:00

SharePoint workflows are getting slow for several reasons. in my environment I'm having a problem with following performance issues, therefore in my environment i got following problems.

When a item added to the library it takes some times to initiate the workflow.
Workflow mail generating is not very fast sometimes.
Workflows takes more time to process
“Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time” is coming sometimes.
I had a custom workflow approval web part and it is taking more than 30 seconds to proceed.

Work Done

I had a custom workflow approval web part and it is taking more than 30 seconds to proceed.

here in my custom web part there is the function which is programmatically updating the workflow.

SPWorkflowTask.AlterTask(item, data, false)

the last parameter mentioning whether it is synchronous asynchronous. if is it true it it will wait until workflow schedule accept the workflow task. this is taking 30 seconds most of the time. if it is false the method will return true immediately and not waiting for schedule approval.

Reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.workflow.spworkflowtask.altertask.aspx

Farm Level Workflow Improvements

There are few ways that we can improve SharePoint workflow services.

Increase Throttle Size
Increase Batch Size
Time Out
Workflow Timer Interval

Increase Throttle Size

“The workflow throttle setting controls how many workflows can be processing at any one time on the entire server farm”. (Ref MSDN) since if we can increase the throttle it will help to increase the number of workflows running at a time.

Following command shows how to get the existing value. the default is set to 15. use SharePoint shell to execute this command.

stsadm -o getproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-throttle

You can change the value by using following command. Below example change the current value to 25.

stsadm -o setproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-throttle -pv "25"

Increase Batch Size

“batch size property controls how many work items waiting to be processed by the timer service will be executed in each run” (Ref MSDN). Therefore if we increase the Batch Size there will be more workflow items ready to execute in the next time. Batch size is improving performance in Immediate Execution and Timer Job.

Following command shows the current batch size in the farm.

stsadm -o getproperty -pn workitem-eventdelivery-batchsize

as you can see default value is set to 100. following command will increate the size to 125.

stsadm -o setproperty -pn workitem-eventdelivery-batchsize -pv "125"

Time Out

Timeout specify the time which can be take maximum to complete the workflow timer job. of cause not finished timers jobs can proceed in next cycle. this value is specify in minutes. default value is 5.

Following command shows how you can view the current configuration.

stsadm -o getproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout

Following command will change the existing value to 10.

stsadm -o setproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-timeout -pv "10"

Workflow Timer Interval

Workflow timer Interval how often SPtimer job should run to process workflow items. this is specify in the application level not in the farm level like others.

following command shows the current setting of the web application.

stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-workflow -url http://Webapplication

If you type wrong URL following error will come.

The server administration programs and the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web applications on this Web server are not compatible. Ensure that the administration program is the same version as the Web application.

Following table shows the values you can set for the property.

SPTimer schedule string format	Meaning
"Every 10 minutes between 0 and 30"	Timer fires every 10 minutes from the top of the hour to half past the hour
"Hourly between 9 and 17"	Every hour from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.
"Daily at 15:00:00"	Timer fires every day at 3 P.M.
"Monthly at 15 15:00:00"	Timer fires on the 15th of every month at 3 P.M.

Following command set the workflow timer interval.

stsadm -o setproperty -pn job-workflow -pv "Every 10 minutes between 0 and 30" -url http://webapplication:port

2011-08-15T12:54:00.001+07:00

you can use following code segment to load data from SharePoint list using client object model. Microsoft.SharePoint.Client DLL should get from the 14/BIN folder.

ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web);

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List oList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(tasklistName);

This error cause to have an error occurred querying a data source in InfoPath when trying to query User profile service.

This error is very strange because it is happening only some times. most of the time in the first time.

I found that following workout resolve the problem. in here i change the User profile service running application pool identity to someone who had access in the user profile service sharing.

Following are the steps..

Then go to advanced settings and change the identity.

Make sure the account has accessed in user profile service sharing.

The error description is 'An invalid character was found in text content.'. sp_xml_removedocument: The value supplied

2011-08-03T12:13:00.001+07:00

This error happened to me when i try to add xml to the SQL server. this is because of i didn't mentioned the proper character set in the XML.

Thus is used following character set definition in the top of the XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>

User profile synchronization service starting issues

2011-07-29T13:44:00.001+07:00

There can be many problems which can cause to this issue, I will explain few which i found and how i address.

user profile synchronization service stuck on starting

here though i delete and recreate the user profile service application the synchronization still stuck in the middle.

let briefly see how user profile working ..

User Profile Service Application and User profile Synchronization share same Sync BD and Profile DB. But User profile synchronization service access AD through Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization service.

Workouts

First Check Forefront Identity Manager is Working (miisclient.exe). If this is starting most of the time their are no issues in Forefront Identity manager service and Sync Service. If so we have to check the databases for permission.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Synchronization Service\UIShell\miisclient.exe

If this not working (Most of the time this is the issue).

we need to check following windows services. (Services.msc)

if miisclient.exe is not working either above service may not work. so try to start the service. if it is a login problem it will say that can not strat due to login problem.

then go to Properties

and check logOn username,password and Account.

After correcting this try to restart the profile service and synchronization in the SharePoint after restarting the IIS.

How to get Username , UserID in CAML Query

2011-07-07T13:22:00.001+07:00

If you are want to get the userID you can simple use following code.

in here you should declare the UserID variable before it uses. normally If you make a user filter in the SharePoint designer it will automatically create the parameter in parameter binding section in the web part.

But assume you want to filter using a user name and the field is not a persongroup feild and it is just a text field. then you can use following query to archive it.

Cannot connect to the LobSystem (External System). Timeout expired. the timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the system is not responding.

2011-07-05T15:19:00.001+07:00

This error might come for different scenarios. In my case this error occurred when i going to connect to the SQL server using BCS (Business connectivity services in SharePoint). though i provide correct user name and password the error is coming.

when i look in to the problem i found that SharePoint SQL database server is running on different port to protect unauthorized access.

But then how we going to connect ?

It is pretty simple but i wasted whole 3/4 hours to figure out that. normally we are giving port like Servername:port but unfortunately this is not working but if we give ‘comma’ rather than semicolon it is working fine.

servername,port

InfoPath adjust connection do not work properly.

2011-07-04T18:16:00.001+07:00

Normally in the we are developing InfoPath in a test server and published it in to the production server. when we are going to publish in to the different server InfoPath asked to change the connection files accordingly. But sometimes when we are changing the publish location it is giving wrong URL’s for the connections.

thus you can manually change the connection URL properties in the InfoPath manifest files. but please be careful of what you are doing.

Howe to Change InfoPath Manifest manually

Export Info path as source files.

change the manifest and save it.

Tips: InfoPath data connections are stored in the section <xsf:dataObjects>
You can change the urls by using site collection, baseurl , relaliveurl attributes.

Open manifest as design.
save it again as xsn.

I got this error when i open the InfoPath Form using Form server. This form location is different to the original location (actual scenario is earlier this form was in the root site collection and now in the sub site collection) .

This form access the user profile web service (Userprofileservice.asmx) using UDC file. When i check the UDC connection i figured out it is still pointing to root site. so you have to change this file to match with the sub site collection. otherwise there may be a cross domain access issue.

MetaInformationByUrl:CrossSite check failed for site URL= …. and file URL=: … .xsn

2011-06-22T14:01:00.001+07:00

This error you can find in the SharePoint LOG with relevant to Correlation ID.

.This error is happened to me when i tried to content deployment to a Production server.

In the SharePoint Server side following errors may come due to this error.

The form you are attempting to open may be located on a different server. This form can only be opened using Microsoft InfoPath.
The form has been closed.
The InfoPath form template for the selected content type cannot be loaded.

These errors can be solved using changing the following settings. this error generates because Form Server XSN refers separate form server template in a separate server.

To change this Go to SharePoint designer and navigate to content types and click administration page.

then go to advanced settings. In here it will show the Form Template URL. Check It is relevant URL if not change it.

in External Data Types Creating Using Business Data Connectivity Services

this error coming because of , External System not getting proper identity to connect. thus if you change the Business Data Connection Authentication mechanism to BDC Identity it will work.

But sometimes you might get following error message when you going to change the Authentication method to BDC Identity.

To Overcome this message you need to run following Power Shell Scripts in Administrator Mode.

First you need to get the list of running services.

PS > $apps = Get-SPServiceApplication

Then you need to get the correct item from this collection. In here you can use pipe ( | ) operation or you can simply increase the element Id and look what is the element is. $apps[0] , $apps[1] … In my case it is 15. but this may differ.

then you need to update the RevertToSelfAllowed to true. Following commands will do it.

PS C:\Users\shpdevadmn> $apps[15].RevertToSelfAllowed = $true

PS C:\Users\shpdevadmn> $apps[15].Update()

How to Automatically Refresh SharePoint WEB Parts.

2011-03-02T10:23:00.001+06:00

(How to asynchronously update SharePoint web parts )

Option 1

In SharePoint 2010 there is a option called Enable Asynchronous Load in the AJAX Option section. thus we can set a Automatic Refreshing Interval as a refresh time.

Option 2

But this option is not available for all web parts. thus i did a little trick.

First I created a blank ASPX File.

Then put the what ever web part that you need to show. this can be a custom SharePoint list also.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function timedRefresh(timeoutPeriod) {
    setTimeout("location.reload(true);",timeoutPeriod);
}
//   -->
</script>

then put above JavaScript to refresh the page.

Finally but a page viewer web part to your page and browse and give the page created earlier. now you have automatically refreshing section.

How to cancel SharePoint server deployment

2010-12-13T17:04:00.001+06:00

This can be also used to cancel InfoPath Form template deployment

using this command you can stop the deployment of InfoPath form template to a server. not only that basically you can stop any deployment to the SharePoint server using this command set.

In here i count find the power shell command to do this. but you can still do it by using stsadm in the SharePoint 2010.

First step is to find the current running deployments. for that

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN>stsa
dm -o enumdeploymets

Then it will show running deployments. After that finding relevant template and get it is ID and run following command.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN>stsa
dm -o canceldeployment -id 3478e091-aeed-48db-8366-e2d2fe267e87

Still it is not working may be the admin services are not running then type the following code.

How to make a Modal Page (Dialog Page) in the SharePoint 2010

2010-11-30T17:25:00.001+06:00

(SharePoint JavaScript Modal Framework )
Place a Content Editor Web Part in the page and Switch to the Source Edit Mode in the editor and place the following code by putting your page URL. You can put either relative or absolute URLs.
If you are not going to use content editor you can edit the row HTML as well.
Put the following script to the page. you can put the code to

<script type="text/javascript">
   function OpenDialog(myurl) { 
        var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions(); 
        options.url = myurl; 
       // options.width = 500; 
       // options.height = 400; 
       //options.dialogReturnValueCallback = Function.createDelegate(null, CloseCallback); 
        SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options); 
    } 
</script>

 You can put this code to Additional page header section in yout page.SharePoint will allow to put in that section.

Then you can call as follows.

<a onlick=”javascript:OpenDialog(‘/sites/alr/SitePages/Reservation.aspx’)” >Show</a>

This is sample URL I have Put.

You can even use for trigger a call back event using the modal frame work. in a later post i will show you how to it.

this is also sample dialog i have created to display workflow visualization.

Following are the list of options you can put as dialog options.

Property	Data type	Default value	Description
allowMaximise	boolean	true	Determines whether the maximise button is present on the rendered dialog.
args	object		We’ll examine this property in more detail later. The args property allows us to pass arbitrary properties into our dialog.
autoSize	boolean (true/false)	true	Determines whether the dialog should be automatically sized to fit within the parent browser window. Where a value has been set for width or height, this value is deemed to be false regardless of the actual setting.
dialogReturnValueCallback	function		We’ll examine this property in more detail. By passing a function, we can specify a section of script to be executed when the dialog is closed.
height	numeric		The height of the dialog to be displayed. If this value is not set the dialog is automatically sized to fit the window.
html	string		Where a Url is passed, an IFRAME tag is rendered pointing to the appropriate Url. AS an alternative to this, it is possible to pass arbitrary HTML instead, in which case, rather than an IFRAME tag, the arbitrary HTML is rendered instead.
showClose	boolean (true/false)	true	Determines whether the close button is visible in the titlebar of the dialog.
showMaximized	boolean (true/false)	false	Dictates whether the rendered dialog should fill the available space in the parent window.
title	string		Specifies the title of the dialog. Where no title is specified, the title of the document referred to by the Url property is used instead.
url	string	null	The url of the page to be shown in the dialog. Where a url is set and IFRAME tag will be rendered by the Dialog framework and the src of the IFRAME will be set to this url.
width	numeric		The width of the dialog to be displayed. If this value is not set the dialog is automatically sized to fit the window.
x	numeric		Specifies the starting position of the rendered dialog. If this value is not set the dialog is shown in the middle of the viewing area. This value represents the offset from the left edge of the parent browser window.
y	numeric		Specifies the starting position of the rendered dialog. If this value is not set the dialog is shown in the middle of the viewing area. This value represents the offset from the bottom of the parent browser window.

How to Link Two List and Create a combine view in the SharePoint 2010

2010-11-30T15:42:00.001+06:00

In this way you can join multiple list together and can create a combine view. for an example assume that you are managing a list for some events. And also you are having a participants in separate list. Thus you want to join the two list and create a composite view.

SharePoint 2010 allows you to create this kind of view using Linked Data Source. in this approach you can create your own custom list in the SharePoint.

How to Create a Linked Data source

Go to SharePoint designer and go to the link called data sources.

And Click the Linked Data Source button in the ribbon. Then SharePoint designer will prompt following kind of a dialog.

In there add two list, that you wan to linked together.

I'm adding airline schedule and booking list. those are the two list that i wan to merge. then click next. And it will guide you another screen. it will ask you to select either

Merge
- Merge use to combine list which are having same columns definition. for and example we can say this is like a Union operation in the database.
Join
- Join operation use to link two or more lists. this do not need to having a same column definition in the lists. this is equal to join operation in the database.

I need to join the two list to get the passengers for particular schedule. thus I'm using join option and click finish.

Then switch to the general tab and give some name to identify the data source.

Now you are done with the linked data source.

How to create a custom view using linked data source in the SharePoint designer

In here I'm going to create a custom aspx in the SharePoint designer and create a view on it. For that go to SitePages and create new aspx file.

In the designer now you can see a empty aspc file as follows.

Now you want to add the data source into the page. There are many ways. Best thing is go to Insert and then select you data source to add data source to the page, But in this way i found that it is not always visible in the data source task pane, Thus you can go to Data View and add your data source.

This action will generate a table in the page. But we don't need it. therefore delete it . we will want the data source in the data source task pane. (Select all and press delete in the key board.)

now Go to the task data source pane and select the columns you want to add to the page. and click add as a multiple view item.

This will generate a table for you. now click the right most column and go to table and add a new column to the right in the table as follows.

Now place the mouse cursor to the column and select the second list in the data source pane and select the columns you want and click Join Sub View.

Then it will ask relation between columns to Join (like foreign key ). In here in link data using ID of the AirLine Schedule.

Note : – Some times this Join Sub view not coming. then click two or more columns then this view will come. I don't know why it is happening but it happened to me several times. And in this way i manage to solved the issue.

Now you can see a composite list view in the page that you can use for ..

In here I'm going to explain how to customize the SharePoint Item From to take parameters from Query String and set them as default values using SharePoint designer. Using this you can open a new Item From by providing parameters as query string. For an example you can customize one item Display form and taking query String Parameter from that and view New Item view for another list by providing default values using the Query String.

Steps

Open the SharePoint designer and go to list and libraries and open the list that you want.

Click the New and create a New Insert View by providing the name of the view.

Then created one will come to the list. then click and open the view.

Then default New Item Screen will be loaded as follows.

Then Delete the default list view and make that empty. You can delete the controls by selecting the area in the design view, If it fully cleared you can view the following message from the designer.

Then go to SharePoint Controls and add the a Custom List as you want.

Then select the New Item Form and click ok to add the view.

In My Example I want to set the comments by using Query String Parameter. there for first i change the comments field’s controller to textbox.

Then Add parameter field to get the comments form the Query String.

I'm passing my comments using query string ID com and it is storing in to the variable param.

Then select the comments text box and switch the view to code or split designer mode,

In here go and change the text property to {$param} This will set the query string parameter to the text box.

Then you done.

How to get User’s Information in the SharePoint Workflow

2010-11-17T13:12:00.001+06:00

We can use SharePoint user profiles to get the users information in a SharePoint workflow. For an example by providing the Users AccountID/Account Name we can get the user’s information.

Thus this will address the questions such as

How to get User’s First Name in the SharePoint Workflow
How to get User’s Last Name in the SharePoint Workflow
How to get User’s Birthday in the SharePoint Workflow
How to get User’s Email in the SharePoint Workflow
How to get User’s Manager in the SharePoint Workflow

as well as huge information list that will populated by the user profile service.

How to add a custom visual studio workflow to SharePoint designer

2010-10-22T23:31:00.000+07:00

This article explains step by step guide line to add a custom visual studio work flow to the SharePoint designer. In here I'm using VS 2010 and SharePoint 2010.

Create a Empty Sequence Work Flow project.

then select .Net Framework 3.5 and select the Sequential Workflow Project.

in this sample we are going to add custom string functionality to the SharePoint designer. after creating the project you will get a blank activity as follows.

then delete that activity and add the Activity item to the project as above. I named that as subStringAfterText.cs

after that you will get a blank Sequence Activity.

Add references to the Project

After that you need to add Microsoft.SharePoint.dll and Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowActions.dll to the project. those dlls can be found in the following paths.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowActions.dll

Cording

My task to develop a simple string function it will return the text after the search text. This is so simple but you can use this method to develop any Custom SPD workflows.

Code Explanation

dependency properties are used to exchange data from work flow instance. therefore following properties needed to exchange primary data.

//The SharePoint workflow properties activation object
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for WorkflowInstanceIdProperty. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...

public static DependencyProperty __ActivationPropertiesProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("__ActivationProperties", typeof(SPWorkflowActivationProperties), typeof(subStringAfterText));

public static DependencyProperty WorkflowInstanceIdVariableProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("WorkflowInstanceIdVariable", typeof(string), typeof(subStringAfterText));

// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for WorkflowInstanceIdProperty. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
public static DependencyProperty __ContextProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("__Context", typeof(WorkflowContext), typeof(subStringAfterText));

//These properties should have getter setter methods. attributes define the visibility , validation and etc..
Ex :-

[Description("The WorkflowInstanceId for the workflow.")]
[ValidationOption(ValidationOption.Required)]
public string WorkflowInstanceIdVariable
{
get { return (string)(base.GetValue(WorkflowInstanceIdVariableProperty)); }
set { base.SetValue(WorkflowInstanceIdVariableProperty, value); }
}

// Then you need your own properties and getters setters

public staticDependencyProperty SourceStringProperty = System.Workflow.ComponentModel.DependencyProperty.Register("SourceString",typeof(string),typeof(subStringAfterText));

public static DependencyPropertySearchStringProperty = System.Workflow.ComponentModel.DependencyProperty.Register("SearchString",typeof(string),typeof(subStringAfterText));

public static DependencyPropertyFoundStringProperty = System.Workflow.ComponentModel.DependencyProperty.Register("FoundString",typeof(string),typeof(subStringAfterText));

// Override the activity execution
protected overrideActivityExecutionStatus Execute(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext)
{
           //Set up the Event Logging object
            eventLog =new EventLog("Workflow");
            eventLog.Source ="SharePoint Workflow";

            try
            {
               // Your Method
                getTheString();
            }
           finally
            {
               //Dispose of the Event Logging object
                eventLog.Dispose();
            }

            //Indicate the activity has closed
            returnActivityExecutionStatus.Closed;
}

Sign the application.

After that you should sing the application using a strong key. Thus you can go to project properties and sing the application as follows.

Build your application. and place the assembly to the GAC. In here there are are two GAC maintaining with framework 4.0

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly
C:\Windows\assembly

To work the assembly this should be registered under “C:\Windows\assembly” if you use Target Framework as 4.0 then it will register the assembly in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly. Therefore use target framework as 3.5

Register Assembly Under “C:\Windows\assembly”

Make sure the target framework is 3.5 of the project. if so it will get add to the location “C:\Windows\assembly”

For that

Go to the Visual Studio Command Prompt as administrator
Go to your bin/debug folder (place where the dll is build)
Type gacutil /i getSubStringAfter.dll

if you did it correctly you can see your assembly in the GAC. to view the GAC you can type “C:\Windows\assembly” in the Run Window. Creating work flow template actions file.

Then you need to create .ACTIONS file. This is the file that used by the SPD to get the workflow information. Therefore create a file named getSubStringAfter.ACTIONS and put the following code there. you need to put correct public key token, namespace and class name.

   1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>   2: <WorkflowInfo Language="en-us" >   3:   <Actions Sequential="then" Parallel="and">   4:     <Action Name="get the substring after the text"   5:         ClassName="getSubStringAfter.subStringAfterText"   6:         Assembly="getSubStringAfter, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d98a44afbf8ccb86"   7:         AppliesTo="all"   8:         Category="Custom String Actions">   9:       <RuleDesigner Sentence="Search %1 from %2 and store in %3.">  10:         <FieldBind Field="SearchString" Text="this text" DesignerType="stringbuilder" Id="1"/>  11:         <FieldBind Field="SourceString" Text="this address" Id="2" DesignerType="stringbuilder" />  12:         <FieldBind Field="FoundString" Text="variable" Id="3" DesignerType="ParameterNames" />  13:       </RuleDesigner>  14:       <Parameters>  15:         <Parameter Name="SearchString" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Direction="In" />  16:         <Parameter Name="SourceString" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Direction="In" />  17:         <Parameter Name="FoundString" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Direction="Out" />  18:       </Parameters>  19:     </Action>  20:   </Actions>  21: </WorkflowInfo>

then copy this file and put in to the following SharePoint server location
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\1033\Workflow

Modify the web Config

Then you need to modify the web.config of your site. you need to put SafeControl and authorizedType in here also please make sure public key token , namespace , version and class is correct other wise it will not work for an example it may not show in the SPD , or it will not get added to the work flow step though it showed in the SPD.

<authorizedTypeAssembly="getSubStringAfter, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d98a44afbf8ccb86"Namespace="getSubStringAfter"TypeName="subStringAfterText"Authorized="True"/>
<SafeControlAssembly="getSubStringAfter, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d98a44afbf8ccb86"Namespace="getSubStringAfter"TypeName="*"Safe="True"/>

Finally ..

reset the IIS
Now open the SPD

I took nearly one week to do figure this out. anyway finally i got a solution. :-)

Give permission user as a site admin in a Site Collection

2010-08-23T17:15:00.001+07:00

for that you should be in a farm administrator group of the SharePoint site. using following stsadmn command you can grant permission to the user.

stsadm –o adduser –url “http://websites/sites/abc” -userlogin "domain\user" –useremail “some@some.com” -username "name" -role "Full Control" -siteadmin

How to deploy a SharePoint 2010 solution developed by visual studio 2010 to another server using Powershell commands

2010-07-21T12:50:00.001+07:00

Normally we can deploy the visual studio solution using the IDE. but then we need to SharePoint run on the same local machine which is used to the development. using powershell as well as stsadm commands you can deploy it to another server.

copy the content of the bin folder. ( Normally 3 files with .wsp solution file). if the files are not available you can click build and package menus in the IDE to create those files. (of cause you also can get the release folder content if you change the IDE mode to the release)
then copy the content to the server which you want to deploy. (for the moment assume you copied it to C:\solution folder , and assume you have a wsp file named abcsolution.wsp)
open the powershell window. if the current user have no permission you may need to run is s administrator.

Then you need to add the solution to the solution store. for that

Add-SPSolution -LiteralPath C:\Solution\abcsolution.wsp

then you need to install it to the web application.

Install-SPSolution –Identity abcsolution.wsp -WebApplication http://server

some times it asks for GAC permission then you need to specify –GACDeployment

Install-SPSolution –Identity abcsolution.wsp -WebApplication http://server -GACDEployment

This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions ..

2010-07-21T12:00:00.001+07:00

This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database. To connect this server to the server farm, use the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, located on the Start menu in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.

I came across with error when i going to restore the SharePoint site to another farm. in here i ran the application as “run as administrator”. the problem is we want to have permission to SharePoint database. so you can put your username to SharePoint SQL server database and give the sys admin permission.

or else you can use already configured user.

How to Backup and Restore SharePoint 2010 site collection

2010-07-13T10:42:00.001+07:00

There are two options available (May be many) .

Using PowerShell
Using stsadm

In 2010 PowerShell is recommended. But in my case PowerShell commands not worked. I mean the midlets commands are missing in the pc. Therefore I used second option.

Option1

Backup
- Go to the PowerShell (you should have execution permission and at least read permission to the SharePoint database)
Apart from that you can provide many other parameters to the command.

Backup-SPSite [-Identity] <SPSitePipeBind> -Path <String> [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Force <SwitchParameter>] [-NoSiteLock <SwitchParameter>] [-UseSqlSnapshot <SwitchParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Refer
Restore

Go to the PowerShell and type following command. This command will create a site collection and restore the site. Other wise you can use force command to override the content

Option2

You can also use stsadm commands to backup and restore.

Backup
- Open the command prompt
- Goto C:\program files\common files\Microsoft shared\web server extensions\ 12 \ bin
- Stsadm –o backup –url http://server/sites/name -filename C:\site.bak
Restore

Stsadm –o restore –url http://server/sites/name -filename C:\site.bak
You can use –override to replace the existing site.

Datasheet view is read only in the SharePoint list

2010-07-07T22:28:00.001+07:00

If the content approval is enabled to the list disable it. then it will remove the read only mode.

A Datasheet component compatible with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation is Not installed

2010-07-07T22:12:00.001+07:00

when I opened the datasheet view i engage with this error. I am using SharePoint 2010 with office 2010. This error is because office2010 still do not have the datasheet edit component in 64 bit. these i open the SharePoint site with a machine installed office 2003 and it worked perfectly.

there is a office2007 driver that you can also installed with office2010 to overcome this issue.

How to create a Simple Feature for SharePoint

2010-03-08T16:12:00.001+06:00

This feature is simply add the existing file to the existing list.

Open the visual Studio and add following file to you empty project. When you are writing the xmls in is better use schema that provides intellicence.
To add the XML sheme, in the XML file go to properties and

after that create following files in you project

feature.xml(you cannot change the file name)

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 <Feature xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"
          Id="616CE205-AFD6-4823-9519-2A2AEF7C8BB0"
          Scope="Web"
          Title="Really Simple Feature"
          Description="A feature to place a doc in a library">
 
   <ElementManifests>
     <ElementManifest Location="elements.xml"/>
   </ElementManifests>
 
 </Feature>
 
  

elements.xml

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
 
   <Module Name="Document" List="101" Url="Shared Documents">
     <File Url="TextFile1.txt" Type="GhostableInLibrary" />
   </Module>
  
 </Elements> 

After create those files copy those 3 files and put them to

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\SimpleFeature

And install the feature to the site using command prompt.

stsadm -o installfeature -n SimpleFeature

This is under

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN>

Now the feature installed to your site. To activate the feature goto

Site settings –> Site Features –> realy simple feature.
