I want to make my visualwebpart to communicate with other webparts like (Provider and Consumer) I am thinking can I make my VisualWebPart which has a ascx file which is drived from UserControl, can I make it a Provider or a Consumer. I am adding these webparts on Sharepoint 2010 webpartpage.
View 3 RepliesI 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?
We 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 would like to create and deploy an ASP.NET web form on SharePoint server which can create document in SharePoint list (or library). Since I'm not experienced in both these technologies so would appreciate if someone guides me to the right tool. Should I use Visual Studio or SharePoint designer ? Also, I was reading an article on MSDN about "Deploying ASP.NET Web Applications in the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 _layouts Folder". Is it the best practise or should I go with webpart/solution based deployment?
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'm not really a developer but I have experience in PHP, Java and want to have a go at developing some really simple SharePoint web parts (for WSS 3.0, MOSS 2007 and in future 2010).I assume it requires knowledge of ASP.NET. Should I start learning C# or get stuck straight into web parts.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to get up to speed with SharePoint, coming from ASP.NET Web Forms. We're looking to use SharePoint exclusively for several reasons; one of the main selling points is to consolidate our development efforts. So for example, today we have several one-off websites with anywhere from 1-5 pages (smallish) on several servers, IIS installs, etc. and seem to be a bit fragmented.
Let's say I have a requirement for a smallish site (1-5) pages. What is the SharePoint way to handle this situation? Do I create several Web Parts, then create the pages in SharePoint and plug them in or do I simply create an ASP.NET Web Forms application and provide a link within SharePoint to it?
Update.I'm going with neither. Based on feedback and additional research it seems that Application pages are what I'm looking for. Here's a good article:
http://grounding.co.za/blogs/brett/archive/2008/07/13/sharepoint-the-role-of-a-web-part-vs-using-application-pages.aspx
Let's say you had a page like an eBay auction, where some of the content (top bidder, bids, history, etc) needed to be up to date but other sections would likely never change, like the description. I'd like to know the "right" method for getting that static section cached.
The "cheezy" solution would be to code it up in a separate javascript .js file as a bunch of "document.writeln()" calls, but that's plain evil and ugly.
If I made it a Content section of a master page, that might get it cached at the server, but the client has no way to know that this particular section of the page will never change.
I could IFRAME it but I don't always know the dimensions.
I'm sure this has all been done before, and as much as I love my own wheels, I'd rather not reinvent this one :-)
I have one web part (the provider) which displays insurance claims in a gridview. When user clicks on one this value(case number) is passed via IWebPartField interface to another web part(consumer) which displays detailed info about the claim. So far so good. I can select different claims in the provider and the details show up in the consumer just fine. The moment I add a TextBox to the consumer, the consumer no longer recognizes the case number passed. I need the user to be able to enter a value in the textbox and click a button to update that claim info. I can debug and attach to process and it looks like it is getting the case in the callback function, etc, but when it is setting parameters for the stored proc in CreateChildControls, it is null. Comment out the TextBox and it works fine.
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?

View 2 RepliesI 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?

I 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.
