C# - How To Integrate Sharepoint Document Into Web Application And Adding Credentials For External Users
Sep 9, 2010
Being new to integrating sharepoint documents into web applications I am struggling with the following task, so anyI have a page in my web application that needs to display a document from sharepoint.I use the appropiate sharepoint web service to get a list of all the documents in the sharepoint list, I then pick out the one I would like to retrieve and get the path to the document so i would end up with something like:
Company%20Hire/Hire%20Site%20Price%20Lists/0.pdf
Within our network I can do following:
iframePdf.Attributes[
"src"] = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SharepointUrl"] + _filePath;
This would display the document in iframe... problem I have is coming from outside the network the sharepoint site can't be accessed (due to firewalls etc). We do have a vpn back to our network on the external server our web application sits on. If i was to use the document url in a browser on the server I am prompted for credentials and then get to view the document.Is there a way for the web application to use the vpn, use credentials i give (e.g through impersonation) to access the document and display it to exernal clients?
I am wanting to display an excel 2010 document in an asp.net web application. This document uses the new slicer functionality which I want to be available to the user.I know that excel 2010 docs can be used within sharepoint by inserting a web part which uses exceservices.But can it be achieved without sharepoint? Or can it be achieved using the the excelservices API to get the document from shreapoint and then somehow get it to the browser in .net?
Platform: ASP.NET 4.0, VS 2010My scenario is thishave the credentials of an external websiteI do a couple of GET/POST to scrape some data off of it Depending on something that I find, I want to give my user a hyperlink that, when clicked, takes him 3 levels deep into the target website beyond the login pageOf course, I could just provide a URL to the top level on the target site, and he would click through to get there. But is there a way, via ASP.NET, that I can programmatically login and then open the page on a separate window/tab?
I try to read a file from SharePoint document library through httpwebrequest.For that I have to pass the credentials.So How should I pass the creadentials.
1) I have an ASP.NET website which is the main entry point in the application.This website uses Forms authentication, which validates credentials (username/password) against a database. 2) Once logged on the website, the user is displayed a page containing several links which point to a Sharepoint 2007 application, where authentication is managed by an Active Directory. 3) Every user in the Active Directory is duplicated in the database managing the ASP.NET website authentication.
I want to open a native SharePoint 2010 page from my application (for example the Edit Properties page of a document) without the need to enter username/password, but instead to authenticate silently (prior or during the page request). is that possible?In other words, i have a windows forms application, i enter a sharepoint document path and i click on a button, this will open up a windows form with a browser control that will navigate to the native "editform.aspx" sharepoint 2010 page for this document.
I want to intergrate Document Management Library into my mvc application. so is there any Document Management Library 3rd party control or service available. so i can easily intergrate it into my site.
how to adding a file to the sharepoint document library? I found some articles in net. but i didn't get the complete concept of the same. Now i uploaded a file without metadata by using this code.
[Code]....
This code is working as fine. But i need to upload file with meta data. I created 3 columns in my Document library..
we have two identical websites. One located at apac.ourdomain.com and the other at eu.ourdomain.com. The only differences about these websites are one is hosted in Australia, and the other is in London. The databases they backed onto have identical schema, except one is in Australia, and the other is in London, each storing data related to our partners in the region.
What we want to do is implement some form of centralise landing page @ www.ourdomain.com using forms authentication. Once a partner logs on to www.ourdomain.com, we will redirect them to either the apac or the eu server. My challenge is how do I transfer the user credentials from the landing site to the regional site? By Credentials, I mean everything from their username to their roles / permissions. And once a user is redirected to the regional site, how do i get them back to the landing site should they required to modify their details?
I know I will need to have a centralised user details db for the landing site, but it is the communication to and from the regional site afterward that I'm uncertain about.
I have a site where users can register an account. To do this they have to enter various details about themselves (Name, DOB, Email Address, Password, Username etc..).
However, I would like them to just have to enter their Facebook username/password, and have all this information pulled from their Facebook user account.
I want to build a custom document management web application that ties in with sharepoint for the actual document versioning and storage. I'm hoping for something like a sharepoint widget that I can plug into my web application that would allow me to tie in with sharepoint and download documents, make edits to them, and upload them back to sharepoint, with sharepoint handling all of the versioning and storage. Basically I'm looking for a sharepoint API. If WSS is the answer to this, are there licensing issues that I need to consider?
I am creating one new silverlight webpart from VS Sharepoint 2010. If i am creating the silverlight application its asking for the sharepoint local site url, i gave the valid url but its showing the ["could not contact sharepoint server for list of document libraries. check your sharepoint URl"].
I am using webclient object to download a file to a windows folder from a sharepoint document library. The credentials I am passing to the webclient object are that of site collection administrator. everything works fine while i test it by uploading a file to the document library. But since the document library is email enabled; when an email is received the file is not transferred to the windows folder. i have put some workflow history events to see which user account is used when the email is received. the user account shown is the network service account. I have given write permissions on the folder to all the users; Everyone, Network service, the site collection administrator user etc. but still i cant figure out what is the problem.
We have created an ASP.NET web app that upload files to WSS Doc Libary. The files get added under 'SYSTEM ACCOUNT' in the library. The FullTextSqlQuery class is used to search the document libary items. But it only searches files that has been uploaded by a windows user account like 'Administrator' and ignores the ones uploaded by 'SYSTEM ACCOUNT'. As a result the search results are empty even though we have the necessary data in the document library. What could be the reason for this? The code is given below:
public static List GetListItemsFromFTSQuery(string searchText) { string docLibUrl = "http://localhost:6666/Articles%20Library/Forms/AllItems.aspx"; List items = new List(); DataTable retResults = new DataTable(); SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate { using (SPSite site = new SPSite(docLibUrl)) { SPWeb CRsite = site.OpenWeb(); SPList ContRep = CRsite.GetListFromUrl(docLibUrl); FullTextSqlQuery fts = new FullTextSqlQuery(site); fts.QueryText = "SELECT Title,ContentType,Path FROM portal..scope() WHERE freetext('" + searchText + "') AND (CONTAINS(Path,'"" + ContRep.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl + ""'))"; fts.ResultTypes = ResultType.RelevantResults; fts.RowLimit = 300; if (SPSecurity.AuthenticationMode != System.Web.Configuration.AuthenticationMode.Windows) fts.AuthenticationType = QueryAuthenticationType.PluggableAuthenticatedQuery; else fts.AuthenticationType = QueryAuthenticationType.NtAuthenticatedQuery; ResultTableCollection rtc = fts.Execute(); if (rtc.Count > 0) { using ( ResultTable relevantResults = rtc[ResultType.RelevantResults]) retResults.Load(relevantResults, LoadOption.OverwriteChanges); foreach (DataRow row in retResults.Rows) { if (!row["Path"].ToString().EndsWith(".aspx")) //if (row["ContentType"].ToString() == "Item") { using ( SPSite lookupSite = new SPSite(row["Path"].ToString())) { using (SPWeb web = lookupSite.OpenWeb()) { SPFile file = web.GetFile(row["Path"].ToString()); items.Add(file.Item); } } } } } } //using ends here }); return items; }
The behaviour I would like is for a user to be able to visit a custom built website and if they are already authenticated against sharepoint for the custom website to know who they are and give them various rights. If they are not recognised by sharepoint then I would like them to login to sharepoint and be directed back to the custom website. Sharepoint picks its users and groups up from Active Directory. I don't know much about the internals of the server, but the custom one will be in a separate domain (I think) though I have full control over the custom and moderate control over the SP infrastructure.
Need to develop a Web application that will be used to authenticate and authorize internal and external users to log and then re-route to web applications for the organization. The login application should be able to provider smooth integration with any future applications that needs a secured authentication. Should I be using WIF - Claims based Identity/ADFS or asp.net Role membership provider to develop this app.?
I have a problem on adding a webpart to sharepoint page.
I have a blank page in the sharepoint, and I have a custom control uploaded to the site, on adding the webpart the the sharepoint page I get the following error:
"Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030102 (STG_E_REVERTED))"
I get that error even if the sharepoint page is totally blank and so is the web part.
