Development

Sometimes even I forget what I have developed and blogged on my page. To give an overview I have created a page which lists all of them and helps you find what you want. You can find the overview of my developments here.

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…

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 🙂

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!

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.

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("

Just a small update for my Display all my alerts Webpart. Handling search alerts is improved the assembly will not install in the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) to get rid of the FullTrust setting in the web.config Tags: SharePoint Webpart
