Hello Everybody,

I am very new to Sharepoint Development, I have created a web part for Sharepoint Server 2003, I am also able to successfully install the CAB project for the web part.

But,when I try to drag the web part onto the page at the server I get error "A web part or web form control on this web part page cannot be displayed or imported because it is not registered on this site as safe", eventhough I've marked the web part as safe in the web.config file of the server, I also tried to change the security settings from WSS_minimal to WSS_medium ,but of no use.

 Has anyone encountered the problem before ?? Please help me out..

Thanks,

Sumit Sharma  

This is a snippet that was suggestions by a friend, but it seems to be incomplete. I don't get any errors, but it doesn't upload file, what am I missing? What do I do with NewFile to make it work??

                 Dim FileContents As Byte
                Dim Site As New SPSite("http://sharepointsite.com/qc/")
                Site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = True
                Dim Web As SPWeb = Site.OpenWeb()
                Web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = True
                Dim DocumentLibrary As SPList = Web.Lists("System")
                Dim DocumentLibraryFolder As SPFolder = Web.Folders("System")
                Dim NewFile As SPFile = DocumentLibraryFolder.Files.Add(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(NewFileName), FileContents)
                Site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = False
                Web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = False

I have a site successfully setup and running forms authentication. I noticed though, that there is a Remember Me check box, and unless this is checked the site does not create a cookie and thus cannot properly check out or check in a document, which kills our functionality completely.

I have tried editing this login.aspx file, but I have been unsuccessful. I've tried adding "checked" "checked='true'" and more... but it just isn't happening. Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

Ideally, I want to  have this check box hidden and checked by default, so there is no way for a user to uncheck it.

We have an InfoPath form, whenever an user submits a form it is saved to the share point library. Here we have to maintain item level security to the InfoPath forms in the forms library i.e. the form which is created by one should see and edit by himself only. Is there any way to provide this functionality without writing code?

Otherwise we will create folders to each employee. But the InfoPath form published to the form library should save to the respective folders instead of saving in single folder so that we can maintain folder level permissions. How to submit a form to the respective folders?

I work for a big industry that have lots of power excel users.

Some of them that work in the supply department can build really complex excel spreadsheets of great value for the company.

But they don't have a database of this valuable information.

So they asked me to build a solution that stores this large amount of data in an Oracle database for future use.

They are able to use this data to create even more complex reports.

So my system needs to generate this reports as well.

I know Sharepoint offers me a great solution for keeping all this valuable information in a SQL Server Database without loosing the usabillity of excel, which the users all love and I wouldn't dare to try to recreate.

Excel services seems to be a solution to think about.

But, what if they don't agree to pay for more licences? Can I still use SharePoint and, kind of, simulate what excel services does on my own?

Or is it better to keep the Oracle approach?

Thanks

I have used sample code for exploring web services of sharepoint to create folders and list and upload documents. First i have tried to create a floder. Its creating folder in my central administration site always. How can i create the folder inside my newly created site collection, e.,g. My site collection is http://localhost:89/sites/60/ --- on which i want to create a folder. but it is always creating folder under central admin site. -- http://localhost:81/

I also tried to give absolute url as parameter folder name in method DwsCreateFolder(string FolderUrl) but it is not taking full url here.
Can anyone help me out.

I am using WSS V3 Beta 2 for Custom Site Definition. I am presently working on changing Authentication mode from Windows to Forms

I have created my Own Custom Membership Provider that will talk to Oracle Database for Authentication. I have made an entry in Application's Web.config, Site's Root's web.config and web.config of Sharepoint Central Administration Site. I have creted a class custommembershipprovider which inherits MembershipProvider class and I have implemented methods GetAllusers(), Validate Users(). I added Assembly of this custom class to bin folder of application, Site Root and sharepoint central administration app_bin directory.

From Sharepoint Central Administration I have changed Authentication mode from Windows to forms and provided my membership Provider.

Now when I browse to site, it shows me custom login page. If I try to put invalid user name or password, it prompts me so, and If I put correct username and password, it autheticates the user and moves back to the default page of site. Here the problem starts, it is authenticating the user but not authorizing him for accessing sharepoint site content. Then again when I moved back to sharepoint central administration, Site Collection Administrator to change the site collection administrator from domain\username to username (from oracle db). Here it shows be ADD PEOPLE dialog box, but when I try to search it does not return me any user. Hence I am not able to change site collection administrator. Unless I do it I will not be able to access the site.

My question here is where do I miss a step? Secondly that ADD PEOPLE dialog box uses which Membership Provider, I think its not at all fetching data using my own provider but using its own provider somehow.

Can somebody help me out.

I would like the ability for customers to be able to add their own users to their wss sites. However, I do not want to have to add these users to Active Directory if possible. Does anyone know what I have to do to enable this?

Thanks

Hi all,

Hi,

 I'm new to SharePoint and need some help!

I want to write an introduction on the homepage but I do not know how to do it.

Please Help!!!

 Thanks

Hello, I have been struggling for four days now with a sharepoint webparts issue and did not manage to solve it.

I developed a personal webpart using chart fx charts for .Net. In order to test this webpart, I was using a test site.

The webpart works well, the graphs show correctly and I am absolutely sure everything is ok with the webpart. Once I was sure I could deploy it on the production site ( myserver:80 ),

I tried to do so using WSS extensions for VS (WSSeVS). There was no problem deploying the webpart and it appears in the webpart collection of the site. But, when trying to add it to a page or to preview it, I have got an error : 

Cannot import myWebPart Web Part. à Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartImporter.CreateWebPart(Boolean clearConnections) 

à Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartImporter.Import(SPWebPartManager manager, XmlReader reader, Boolean clearConnections, Uri webPartPageUri, SPWeb spWeb) 

à Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPreview.get_WebPart() à Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPreview.CreateChildControls() 

à System.Web.UI.Control.EnsureChildControls() à System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() 

à System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() à System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() 

à System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() à System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() 

à System.Web.UI.Control.PreRenderRecursiveInternal() à System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) 

Both sites are on the same server. The only difference is that my test site port was 40560 whereas main site's port is 80.

The webpart still works on the test site but whatever I try I do not manage to get it working on the main site.

I do not have any idea on how to solve it now. Hope you will be able to help me.

 Thanks a lot and have a good day.

I'm writing a search utility for a web app that is suppose to search sharepoint.  So after doing a little research, I find out that there exist a web service called search.asmx that I can use to do my searching.  Unfortunately, no matter what I try, I get the following response back from the SharePoint server:

<ResponsePacket xmlns="urn:Microsoft.Search.Response">
<Response domain="">
  <Status>ERROR_SERVER</Status>
  <DebugErrorMessage>System.ArgumentNullException</DebugErrorMessage>
</Response>
</ResponsePacket>

1        string queryXML =
2                "<QueryPacket xmlns='urn:Microsoft.Search.Query'>" +
3                    "<Query>" +
4                        "<Context>" +
5                            "<QueryText language='en-us' type='MSSQLFT'>" +
6                                "SELECT Title, Path, Description, Write, Rank, Size from SCOPE()" +
7                            "</QueryText>" +
8                        "</Context>" +
9                    "</Query>" +
10               "</QueryPacket>"; 

I am new to Sharepoint and wondering if it is used for version control, like Subversion and the likes. I just got me a hosting account and trying to figure out how to connect my VS 2008 directly to it, to access and edit and update files and media. Is this possible? If yes, how?? Thanks in Advance

Hi all,

I've got a hosted WSS 3.0 site (using MPS) and a user that's reporting that when he tries "to run a workflow manually" he gets the following error:

Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '<Xoml.a5ccab7c_7a0c_461f_b9fc_60d2fa87d722.32.2560.33.2560.dll><Cfg.a5ccab7c_7a0c_461f_b9fc_60d2fa87d722.34.2560.>'  Key being added: '<Xoml.a5ccab7c_7a0c_461f_b9fc_60d2fa87d722.32.2560.33.2560.dll><Cfg.a5ccab7c_7a0c_461f_b9fc_60d2fa87d722.34.2560.>'

 Any idea what to do with one of these errors?  I confess I'm not extremely skilled at SharePoint.

Thanks for any help at all. 

Hi all,

I developed asp.net application with vs2005, sqlserver2005, in my application I used master pages, business access layer, and data access layer, each and every page will integrate master page (except login page). In master page I am verifying the user is authentication and authorization based on the sessions.  It is working fine and also lunched online, the users are working very well.

Now I need to integrate this site (asp.net application) to share point 2007, I created one document management application in share point 2007, I created folder structure and now I need to give permitions for those folders, based on my asp.net application roles and groups. Once the user login into my asp.net application or login to share point application (I need to give some links in botch applications), I need to do operations based on users authentication and authorization.

In asp.net application authentication mode is forms, but as of now my share point application mode is windows only, if I need to change this mode to forms I need to map the data base by asp.net application data base. But my asp.net application is not have any membership providers and role based providers.

So, this my long story, now I need to integrate this both applications with one or two data bases.

Is it possible, if possible please give any tips or ways to do this. If not possible please give a alternate solution for this. If possible give any links to rectify my problem. Please help me out.

Hi there, I didn't find a group for SharePoint Development Issues so I'm posting here on the Windows SharePoint Services Hosting group. If there is a more appropriate group please let me know.

As you know, WSS 3.0 provides a three-state workflow pattern. If I need a four-state workflow what is the best solution?

Does MOSS 2007 has that pattern?

Can I create one with ShrePoint Designer?

Thanks

 Hi!

    I am trying to add ItemAdding and itemUpdating receivers on a share point list but facing few problems. Can anybody help me on this and give me reference to some web resource.

Thanks

 

When launching my main sharepoint site I'm given a stack trace. I'm not quite sure how to read the stack and thought I'd see if anyone could be of help here.

I have 7 'solutions' globally deployed on my SP farm and everything was working fine. I deployed 6 other web parts and solutions to the virutal site '/'. After I did that is when the site would no longer load.

 I retracted all of the solutions that I had deployed, I've deleted and recreated the web application and IIS sites but im still having the same error. Any help is greatly appreciated!
