I've created a quiz web part in SharePoint 2007, but am stuck on one permission. It needs to write the quiz score to a list, which it's throwing an error now when trying. I'm under the assumption that if the web part has the appropriate permission level, the user's permissions (the quiz taker) don't matter. Is there a particular permission that should allow the webpart to write to a list? Specifically:
View 1 RepliesWe have several asp.net web applications we've built and we also want to embed them into various sharepoint pages. We need to have them look like standalone applications when viewed in their own pages, but also have them look like they fit within the sharepoint page when embedded. We are doing this currently with IFrames and it works ok, but I'm wondering if there is some sort of proxy web part where we can configure the web part to point to an existing web app and it will proxy the contents through from the web app into the sharepoint page removing the need for an IFrame. Possible?
View 2 RepliesI want to create a custom web part in SharePoint 2007 that allows me to take items from an existing custom list (i.e. Title, Hyperlink, Description and photo) and then render it in a format of my choice. How can I do this using C# asp.net and a web part?
View 1 RepliesWhen using SPWeb.GetCatalog(SPListTemplateType.WebPartCatalog), it returns an SPList which of course contains a SPListItemCollection of the web parts in the web part gallery. When looping through the items, is there any easy way to get properties of the web parts? Such as AllowClose, CatalogIconImageUrl, etc... I know I can probably accomplish this using the listItem.OpenBinaryStream etc and loading the xml of the .webpart file, but I wondered if there was an easier way to do this.

View 1 RepliesI am working on an ASP.NET web application in Visual Studio 2005. I am using a trace listener to check the values of variables as I test the web application. Every time I publish the web site it overwrites the entire web site so I need to give my log file write permissions for the ASPNET account again. Is there a way to automate this chore as part of the publishing process?
View 1 RepliesHow does one stream files, html or custom AJAX responses from web parts? Our current quick-and-very-dirty solution is to make the web part call the current page with certain query parameters, which the web part checks and instead of performing normal load it writes the required things to output and calls response end.
This sounds bad since SharePoint might load other web parts and execute their code before reaching our web part. The web part is configured with data source settings which means the streaming context must be specific to the web part so it can acquire the correct data source settings.
I have a need to integrate a third-party Java applet into a custom web part I wrote for SharePoint 2007. The web part simply loads a user control I created that contains the bulk of the functionality, and that's where the applet will go. I added it to my user control project and it works fine outside of my SharePoint environment.
I installed the updated web part onto my MOSS 2007 development site and the part's page loads fine. The applet is triggered by clicking a link button on the page, which runs some client-side JavaScript to start it. The problem is nothing seems to happen when I click the link. No error messages appear, and the stuff the applet is supposed to do never occurs (it's for doing file transfers via FTP). I have the .jar file as an embedded resource in my user control DLL, which is deployed to the bin folder, and SharePoint fully trusts this DLL.
I used Firebug to step through the initialization code and I saw an HTTP GET that failed with a message about not being authorized, but it didn't give any details and I'm not positive it was related to the applet. Is there anything special I need to do to make the applet work? Or am I going about this the wrong way?
EDIT: The problem turned out to be the .jar file for the applet couldn't be found. SharePoint is clearly doing something different here, and I need to find out what. Can Java applets be used within a SharePoint site? This question suggests they can, but in that case a Page Viewer web part was used, which isn't going to really work for me.
Is there any way to restrict a web part to a certain zone? I know I can restrict it by using the AllowZoneChange flag, but is it possible to make sure the web part can only be added to certain zones? I have some web parts which are only viable in a wide column (zones), so I want to make sure that no one tries to add the web parts to narrow columns (zones). Is there any way of accomplishing this?

I currently have a client with a SharePoint site that wants to incorporate an (already written) ASP.NET application within a webpart in the SharePoint site. The ASP.net application currently uses an IIS impersonation account to connect to the SQL database.
Some added functionality the client is requesting would require me to grab the user's windows login identity to use the SharePoint UserProfileWebService to query the PropertyPages for that specific user. Because the (already written) ASP.NET application uses impersonation, when I grab the WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, I get the impersonation account and not the actual user's account.
Is there a way to keep the current setup (impersonation account on IIS to connect to SQL) and still grab the logged in user's credentials? Or would a better way about this be to change IIS to consume the Windows Identity of the logged in user and encrypt the connection string in the web.config?

View 1 RepliesI have a web part that is deployed in a MOSS 2007 application. The web part has a text box for entry of an ID number and a button that fills a dataset from the db based on the supplied ID and binds this to a details view. The details view is a private variable declared at the top of my web part class, the details view is then instantiated and various properties set along with the event handlers in the CreateChildControls() Sub.

The details view is then rendered in the RenderContents() sub.

After checking the user inputted ID number for malicious chars I fill a data set.

I have also tried entering new values into the text boxes and clicking the Insert link and then looping through the NewValues collection inside the ItemUpdating event but this displays nothing!

I used to deploy developed web parts to a remote sharepoint site by Build->Deploy menu inside Visual Studio 2008 months ago ( I am not a regular web part developer). My network engineer also asked me how to deploy web parts without stsadm commands. anyway now I can't. Visual Studio keeps complaining that the specified site doesn't have sharepoint site contained. "No SharePoint Site exists at the specified URL."
After googling, it is said web parts can't be deployed to remote sharepoint sites from visual studio. Only can to local site. However I did it before. Visual Studio 2008 service pack or hot fix made this feature (remote deploy) removed? Or is there any workaround?

View 5 RepliesI need to convert a SharePoint List to ASP.NET, including its column filters etc.
Aside from the underlying data which will be housed in a SQL Server table, what are good control choices on ASP.NET side for this? (I'm not sure if ASP.NET Gridview will have all the necessary features.)
I'm doing some custom code for a SharePoint webpart in C#. Specifically, I'm making a quiz, my main point here addressing the list that holds the question, answer choices, and correct answer.
At the last stage of the quiz I need to check the answers selected by the user against the correct answer in the list. Currently, I'm doing the following to check if each is correct, which I'm assuming isn't very efficient because it iterates through each question. Is there a method, specifically for the SPList foreach loop, that would be more efficient?
// 1. Store questions and answers in class
List<submittedAnswers> answeredQuestions = new List<submittedAnswers>();
// 2. From POST pull answered question IDs and answer IDs (which correspond to the question primary key and answer choice number both stored in the list)
// INSERT BEAUTFIUL AND EFFICIENT WHILE LOOP HERE
// 3. Loop through each question is list, if question was given, test if correct/incorrect
using (SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb())
{
SPList answerList = myWeb.Lists[questionList];
foreach (SPListItem quizEntry in answerList.Items)
{
int pullAnswerId = int.Parse(quizEntry["Answer"].ToString()); // Pull answer number from list
int pullQuestionId = int.Parse(quizEntry["ID"].ToString()); // Pull primary key of question
submittedAnswers result = answeredQuestions.Find(delegate(submittedAnswers e) { return e.questionId == int.Parse(quizEntry["ID"].ToString()); });
if (result != null)
{
if (result.responseId != pullAnswerId) // If the response was different from the answer
incorrectAnswers++;
else
correctAnswers++;
}
}
}

View 2 Repliesi was wondering if there is a way to prepopulate sharepoint list item values into a webform fields if the loggin user's information is matched with the information in the list item.
what i have done is that i made a query function to determine if info is matched, and then i try to pull some infomation out from list item. this method works fine for printing these values to some labels on the form, however, it is not working for prepopulation, which happens in the page_load function.
here is my query code:

here is the read from list code:

SPList oList = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["/en/admin"].Lists["TTCVIP"];
SPView oListView = oList.Views["All Items"];
SPListItemCollection collectListItems = oList.GetItems(oListView);
foreach (SPListItem oListItem in collectListItems)
{
SPWeb web = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);
SPUser loggedinUser = web.CurrentUser;
LabelFirstName.Text = SPEncode.HtmlEncode(oListItem["First Name"].ToString());
//LabelLastName.Text = loggedinUser.Name;
LabelLastName.Text = SPEncode.HtmlEncode(oListItem["Last Name"].ToString());

I have an (unordered)list (generated by a repeater) of items. However, I'd like to show the first three items, and have the rest hidden by the main content div. When a button is pressed, I would like the list's div to expand, pushing the main content div down and showing the rest of the list. I was thinking of using slideDown(), but that closes the entire div ( and I would like to show the first 3 items of the list). What would be the best way to achieve an effect like this? Is there a plugin that can easily show X items of a list and the display the rest upon request?edit: Adding current code:
<div id="name_links">
<asp:Repeater ID="rptName" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
