Write a SPFieldUser

If you have a list which contains a SPFieldUser field (with multiple selection), you can add users too it with the following code: using (SPSite site = new SPSite(“http://site”)) { using (SPWeb web = site.AllWebs[“Web”]) <span style="font-family:Consolas;font-size:10pt"> {<br /> </span> <span style="font-family:Consolas;font-size:10pt"> <span style="color:#2b91af">SPList</span> list = web.Lists[<span style="color:#a31515">"List"</span>];<br /> </span> <span style="font-family:Consolas;font-size:10pt"> <span style="color:#2b91af">SPListItem</span> item = list.Items[0];<br /> </span> <span style="font-family:Consolas;font-size:10pt"> <span style="color:#2b91af">SPFieldUserValueCollection</span> values = (<span style="color:#2b91af">SPFieldUserValueCollection</span>)item[<span style="color:#a31515">"Users"</span>];<br /> </span> <span style="font-family:Consolas;font-size:10pt"> <span style="color:#2b91af">SPUserCollection</span> users = web.

Ajax Webpart displays Webservice data

In this post I want to show how to create an Ajax Webpart, which receives its data from a Webservice – and until the data arrived – shows a status bar. As base for the Webpart, I took the one from Mark Collins and his great article http://sharethispoint.com/archive/2006/11/15/Build-web-parts-with-ajax.aspx. The approach is to render the Webpart with only a , and let the client – after it finishes querying the Webservice – fill the data into the previously created.

Webpart Development

Visual Studio Extensions If you want to write your own Webpart, you can start from scratch with a Class Library, or use the templates from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=19f21e5e-b715-4f0c-b959-8c6dcbdc1057&DisplayLang=en The downside of this VS templates is, that they can only be used on a computer, which has SharePoint installed, and you cannot open a project created with the VS templates with a VS on which the templates are not installed. Server side controls Ishai Sagi wrote a great article about Webpart development.

Extend the simple Webpart

Now that we know how to create a simple Webpart, we want to add more functionality to it. Let us start with some Controls. Declare a Control as class variable Create it in CreateChildControls Modify the Control in OnPreRender Render the Control with its content Declare a Control public class simpleWebpart:WebPart { private HtmlGenericControl _MyDiv; CreateChildControls This method creates the control. After the creation, we will be able to access the control from elsewhere, to modify its properties or its content.

Create a simple Webpart HOWTO

In this blog post, I want to show you how to create a simple Webpart. All you need is a Visual Studio 2005 (e.g. the express version) and of course SharePoint. Start your VS and create a new “Class Library” Add a reference to the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll. We will create a SharePoint Webpart, to be able to add Properties. To display some text, override the render method. You have to create a reference to the Microsoft.

Sending Email from SharePoint

You can configure a task list, to send an email if you assign a task to somebody. This works fine if this somebody has an internal email address. If you happen to have an account inside the environment of the SharePoint Server, and configure it to have an external email address, sending an email to this account might fail. In the SharePoint Logs there is an entry: 03/12/2007 14:40:42.29 OWSTIMER.

SharePoint Event Handler

If you want to modify the current listitem, the OnAfterChange Event will trigger again. You can avoid this by disabling the trigger before the update: this.DisableEventFiring(); item.SystemUpdate(false); this.EnableEventFiring();

Remove Server from Farm

After adding a new Server to the SharePoint farm, I removed the old one. The central administration page was not accessible. It said “error 500” in the browser. By changing the admin port via “stsadm -o setadminport -port 12345” and back to the original port, I was able to regain access to the central administration page.

Remove Server from Farm

After adding a new Server to the SharePoint farm, I removed the old one. The central administration page was not accessible. It only said “error 500” in the browser. By changing the admin port via “stsadm -o setadminport -port 12345” and back to the original port, I was able to regain access to the central administration page.

Webpart, Properties and default value

If you write a Webpart with custom properties, you have to take care of the default value. [WebBrowsable(true), DefaultValue(“value”), Personalizable(true), WebDisplayName(“some property”), WebDescription(“Description of the property”)] public string PropertyName { get { return _ PropertyName; } set { _ PropertyName = value; } } Please do not specify a default value, which you might actually use. The default property value will not be saved, if you choose to configure it with the default value!

Wiki mit Bildern

Bei einem Blog Eintrag kann man Bilder mit an den Eintrag anfügen. Dies ist jedoch bei der Wiki Vorlage der Windows SharePoint Services V3 nicht möglich. Um dieses Manko zu beseitigen, habe ich ein Webpart geschrieben. Dieses wird in die editform.aspx der Wiki List eingebaut. Danach kann man bequem über die Pflegemaske der Wiki Einträge Bilder an einen Wiki Beitrag anfügen. Die Bilder werden automatisch in eine Bildbibliothek hochgeladen.
