These symbols, Dlls can be belongs to same project or any other references from other projects. There are various reasons for this. I will explain few tips that you can try. Check for multiple solutions If the same reference libraries are referred from other solution and if it is in open in a visual studio solution, assemblies might being held with file lock by other visual studio; that cause not to deploy reference assemblies to GAC (global assembly cache).    Full Debug Information This is first to try.  Check the project build information and make sure full debug information is specified. Go to properties for SharePoint Project. Then go to build and advanced section.   Then check for debug information and make sure it is set to full.   Check Load Symbols in debug mode This is a quiet a handy way to check the symbols debug files.  First press F5 or start debugging your project.

Most of you may confuse why there are two GACs available in the machine. C:\WINDOWS\assembly C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\assembly What is GAC GAC is a shared location in your machine that keeps assemblies, Dlls for common sharing purpose. Assume that you are using system.data.dll in your project. so one option is you can place the dll with your project. but assume you are creating another project which is also using the same .net assembly system.data.dll. so it is better to have it in a common place which that can be referred. since it is a common framework dll and used separately from your application logic it is good to place in a shared place for easy of maintenance and update process. What is  C:\WINDOWS\assembly Previous CLR s uses this place as its common location for Dlls. previous CRLs includes versions 1.0,1.1,2.0. these CRLs versions are used by before .NET framework 4. .NET Framework 1.0  - CLR v1.0 .NET Framework 1.1  - CLR v1.1 .NET Framework 2.0 ...

  SharePoint list does not have any direct property or method to make content type default. but it is having content type ordering. thus making content type in first of the list automatically makes that content type default. following shows a sample code using (var site = new SPSite( "url" )) { using (var web = site.AllWebs[ "yourweb" ]) { var lst = web.Lists[ "Your List" ]; SPContentTypeCollection currentOrder = lst.ContentTypes;   // make default content type var newOrder = currentOrder.Cast<SPContentType>().Where(ct => ct.Name.Contains( "Content Type To Default" )).ToList(); lst.RootFolder.UniqueContentTypeOrder = newOrder; lst.RootFolder.Update(); } }

This is a common error we are came across most of the time. When you are running inside the SharePoint common resolutions are Running the web application in 64-bit mode. Changing to target framework to 3.0 instead of 4.0 Adding app pool identity user to WSS_ADMIN_WPG Adding app pool identity user to Administrator group Ref : http://spnovice.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-web-application-at-url-could-not-be.html But when you are creating a Web Service (WCF) or a Other Web Project which is ruining inside the SharePoint server but not inside the SharePoint You need to Change the AppPool Account to; which SharePoint is running.

When creating SharePoint Solutions we need to deploy Web part pages with the solution. I'm sure most of us deploy pages as a module. But we are copying aspx page from some ware else and include it to module . (Visual studio does not allow to create web part aspx pages in SharePoint Solutions)  So I think it is good to use a method to create web part pages rather than copying from somewhere else and put it to the solution. Using below method you can add web part page to document library with  specified template. of cause you can add custom template ; in that case you can deploy custom template first and use the following method to create a web part page. First you need to generate the XML for add Web Part Page private string GetCreateWebPartPage(String list, string pageTitle, int layoutTemplate) { const string newItemTemplate = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" + "<Batch>" ...

I had a recent requirement to check whether bit is set looking another bit. But then i found; it is easy to compare integer values it self rather than converting to bit arrays. public bool isBitSet( int value , int checkBit) { return (value & checkBit) == checkBit; } Ex: I want to check number 8 is set in 6164 , You can get it by isBitSet(6164,8)

When submitting Job task in Azure media service it is giving error “ Access Denied ”. ITask task = job.Tasks.AddNew( "My task" ,processor, "H264 Broadband 720p" ,TaskOptions.ProtectedConfiguration); // Specify the input asset to be encoded. task.InputAssets.Add(asset); task.OutputAssets.AddNew( "Output asset" ,AssetCreationOptions.None); // Launch the job. job.Submit(); This is the code segment I have used. This is working in my local machine but I published to Cloud Web Site it is giving access denied error. I found that the  TaskOptions.ProtectedConfiguration caused this error. When you use this option it is accessing client machine certificate store. Since running context does not have sufficient permission; causing  access denied error. So change the TaskOptions.None . it will work.

First step of the of the app development is to correctly get the access to SharePoint client context. I have struggling with develop a simple model to initialize the SharePoint Client context. Most of the App development include ASP Master pages. So I need to figure out a working model for app development. First you need to know how SharePoint offer the contextString . contextString Offers when SharePoint is getting redirect from appredirect.aspx url. Ex :- https://rajee.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appredirect.aspx?instance_id={B0D5D768-303F-4AE7-A4D3-F94B687C6AB3 that point we need to capture the contextString and generate either AccessToken or RefreshToken and save it for access the SharePoint  Client Context in later time. other wise it will result in generating the  error The parameter 'token' cannot be a null or empty string (This is nasty error which drove me crazy) Normally AccessToken is valid for 12 hours and RefreshToken is valid for 6 months. In my approach ...

First you need to refer relevant JavaScript files. <script type= "text/javascript" src= "../Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" ></script> <script type= "text/ecmascript" src= "/_layouts/SP.core.debug.js" /> <script type= "text/ecmascript" src= "/_layouts/SP.runtime.debug.js" /> <script type= "text/ecmascript" src= "/_layouts/SP.debug.js" /> Then approach is Get reference to current clientcontext get web site reference get reference to existing list break the inheritance define a role get the user finally add user and related role to the list <script type= "text/ecmascript" > function CustomPermision() { var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current(); var oWebsite = clientContext.get_web(); // provide the list name oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle( 'ListName' ); oList.breakRol...

Other Related Posts Creating a List In My previous post i described how to add a list to SharePoint. In here I'm going to  describe how to add fields to existing list.  First you need to refer same JavaScript files in your script page ( SP.core.js,SP.runtime.js,SP.js )  There are few approaches that you can use to add fields to existing list. But in my personal opinion i like following approach because It is easy rather that use XML to add entire field Intelligence are support based on field type (text, choice, user ..) Code is more readable than xml <script type= "text/ecmascript" > function addFields() { var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current(); var oWebsite = clientContext.get_web(); //Geting reference to the list oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle( 'CustomList' ); // Get filed collection var fldCollection = oList.get_fields(); va...

JSOM (JavaScript client object model) heavily used in SharePoint App model. I'm going to post series of basic operations that can archive using jsom. First add these references to your page. //Add jquery version correctly <script type= "text/javascript" src= "../Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" ></script> <script type= "text/javascript" src= "https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/4.0/1/MicrosoftAjax.js" ></script> <script type= "text/javascript" src= "/_layouts/15/init.js" ></script> <script type= "text/javascript" src= "/_layouts/15/sp.runtime.js" ></script> <script type= "text/javascript" src= "/_layouts/15/sp.js" ></script> Then add following script to create the list. <script type= "text/ecmascript" > function createList() { var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current(); ...

Introduction to asp.net from Melick Baranasooriya

I think you already know about hosted approaches in SharePoint 2013. There are three types of hosted approaches ( SharePoint-Hosted, Provider-Hosted, Auto-Hosted ).  Though there are similarities as well as differences. Thus there are slightly differences in developing client app part in SharePoint Hosted Model.    This is Step by Step Guide to Create a Client App part. Create a Visual Studio Project by specifying SharePoint Hosted option. Then Visual Studio will create a project for you. ( If you looked closely you can find out it is referring jQuery 1.6.2 version that is quite old. So if you want you can right click the project and go to NuGet Manager and install new version. ) Now we are going to add a Client App part. Client App Apart is concept which allows to run SharePoint pages inside the iFrame. Therefore you can theoretically display any page inside the client app part. As a guide I will show two types of Client App Parts. Simple A...
