With this update the problem that SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser is sometimes null is solved. Additionally there are lots of information written to the ULS logs, if you have configured your farm to log information with the level “Monitorable” More and download…

fully qualified assembly?

Development, SharePoint
In many occasions you have to specify the class as fully qualified name. I always forget how to do so. [namespace].[classname], [assemblyname], Version=[version], Culture=[culture], PublicKeyToken=[token] Now I know where to look at, if I stumble across the fully qualified name 🙂

Flexible Migration – SharePoint 2003 nach 2007

Sonstiges
Ein wenig Werbung sei auch erlaubt. Ich habe ein Tool für die Migration von SPS 2003 nach MOSS 2007 geschrieben: Die Migrationswege von 2003 nach 2007 auf Basis der Herstellertools erweisen sich in der Praxis meist aus unterschiedlichen Gründen als unzureichend: Quell-und Zielsystem sollen unterschiedliche Strukturen aufweisen, MOSS 2007 wurde schon parallel in Betrieb genommen, die Migration soll nicht ad-hoc passieren, Migrationen von gesamten Datenbanken schlagen fehl oder sind komplex.

Using the PropertyBag

Development, SharePoint
A nice feature of a SPWeb, SPSite or SPWebApplication is the Properties Property. You can save information to this Hashtable. e.g. webApplication.Properties[“MyProperty”] = “5”; After a change to the PropertyBag, you have to webApplication.Update() the changes. But here comes the problem. The account updating the Properties has to be a member of the “Farm Administrators” group to be able to save the changes to the SPWebApplication, because you change a SPPersistantObject of your farm!

Adding SPTimerJob in a FeatureReceiver

Development, SharePoint
In one of my solutions I wanted to add a SPTimerJob through a FeatureReceiver in the feature. The feature was scoped to “Web”. I got an “Access denied” when I tried to do so. The solution I found, was to create a second feature, which was scoped to “WebApplication”. From within this feature, I was able to create my timer job. But only in FeatureActivated. When I tried to add the job from FeatureInstalled, I got the error that SharePoint did not find the assembly, even if it was installed to the GAC.

Use JavaScript within a SPGridView

Development, SharePoint
The NavigateUrlFormat property of the SPMenuField allows you to specify a Url, which will be called if you click the field in a SPGridView. 1: SPMenuField colMenu = new SPMenuField(); <pre style="padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;font-size:8pt;padding-bottom:0px;margin:0em;overflow:visible;width:100%;color:black;border-top-style:none;line-height:12pt;padding-top:0px;font-family:consolas, 'Courier New', courier, monospace;border-right-style:none;border-left-style:none;background-color:#f4f4f4;border-bottom-style:none"><span style="color:#606060"> 2:</span> colMenu.NavigateUrlFields = <span style="color:#006080">"WebUrl,AlertID,ListID"</span>;</pre> <pre style="padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;font-size:8pt;padding-bottom:0px;margin:0em;overflow:visible;width:100%;color:black;border-top-style:none;line-height:12pt;padding-top:0px;font-family:consolas, 'Courier New', courier, monospace;border-right-style:none;border-left-style:none;background-color:white;border-bottom-style:none"><span style="color:#606060"> 3:</span> colMenu.NavigateUrlFormat = <span style="color:#006080">"{0}/_layouts/SubEdit.aspx?Alert={1}&List={2};</pre> 4: colMenu.TokenNameAndValueFields = "</span>WEBURL=WebUrl,ALERTID=AlertID,LISTID=ListId"; With the TokenNameAndValueFields property, you map the grid columns to %xyz%. If you want to use a JavaScript instead, you can do so: 1: MenuItemTemplate editAlertMenu = new MenuItemTemplate("
