Upload a document in DOCUMENT LIBRARY in WSS 3.0 programatically.

As I mentioned there are two ways to interact with WSS 3.0
1)WebService Approach
2)Object model approach.

So below is the code you have to do while following the service approach to upload a document programatically.


[WebMethod]
public bool UploadTemplate(Byte[] fileInBytes, string FileName, string MetaInformation)
{
try
{
NetworkCredential objCredential = new NetworkCredential();
objCredential.Domain = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["NetworkDomain"];
objCredential.UserName = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["NetworkUserName"];
objCredential.Password = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["NetworkPassword"];

string[] destURI = { ConfigWrapper.WebSiteUrl + ConfigWrapper.DoucmentDirectory + "/" + FileName };

Copy webCopyObj = new Copy();
webCopyObj.Credentials = objCredential;
webCopyObj.Url = ConfigWrapper.CopyServiceUrl;

FieldInformation myFieldInfo = new FieldInformation();
myFieldInfo.DisplayName = "MetaInformation";
myFieldInfo.Value = MetaInformation;
myFieldInfo.InternalName = "MetaInformation";
myFieldInfo.Type = FieldType.Text;
FieldInformation[] myFieldInfoArray = { myFieldInfo };

CopyResult myCopyResult2 = new CopyResult();
CopyResult[] myCopyResultArray = { myCopyResult2 };

CopyResult[] result;

uint documentId = webCopyObj.CopyIntoItems("http://null", destURI, myFieldInfoArray.ToArray(), fileInBytes, out result);
byte[] temp;
uint tempId = webCopyObj.GetItem(destURI[0], out myFieldInfoArray, out temp);
Guid myItemGUID = myFieldInfoArray[0].Id;
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}



webCopyObj will be the object of the copy web service taken from the site.So for example you have to include the web reference from http://localhost:15182/_vti_bin/Copy.asmx.which referes to /_vti_bin/Copy.asmx.


Will write about the second approach (Object model approach) later.


ConfigWrapper is the object of the class written for fetcing the information from appSetting section from web.config

Sharepoint Starting.

Hi,

I am new to sharepoint these days and I have seen some pepole who have heard about this sharpoint but never used its feature.

So, I decieded to share my knowledge upon share point with the Guys who are just starting this technology.

I came to know that we can access sharepoint programatically also.The good thing about sharepoint is it exposes 2 ways to interact with sharepoint site.

1. Sharepoint as a object model.
2. As Web Service Interaction.

Well hope you have heard of WSS 3.0. The full form of WSS is Windows Sharepoint Server. It exposes some web service for the developers who want to handle the site programatically and when you install sharepoint 2007 it also give some some more web services which a developer and use to manage the web site.

The second approach is the object model approach. In this approach developer has to include the dll and play with the web site as a object model (like namespaces, classes and Object etc.)

Hope this helps for the beginners.I will keep updating you about the sharepoint or WSS R&D, I will do.

Thanks

A constructor can call another overloaded constructor

A constructor can call another overloaded constructer but there is a trick to make this call possible.

So in the following example when you create the instance of CallConstructor class without parameter constructor. This will internally call the constructor with parameter.

below is the code for the same.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace InterviewCodePractice.CallConstructor
{
public class CallConstructor
{
public CallConstructor()
: this(5)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Default");
}
public CallConstructor(int i)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("parameter");
}
}
}


Output of the above problem will be
1. parameter will be printed in the messagebox.
2. Default will be printed in the messagebox.

Upload File in .net

I was search for uploading the large file in asp.net and got the following article. I found this useful and that is why I am publishing the same on my blog.

Upload larger files
By default, ASP.NET permits only files that are 4,096 kilobytes (KB) (or 4 megabytes [MB]) or less to be uploaded to the Web server. To upload larger files, you must change the maxRequestLength parameter of the section in the Web.config file.

Note When the maxRequestLength attribute is set in the Machine.config file and then a request is posted (for example, a file upload) that exceeds the value of maxRequestLength, a custom error page cannot be displayed. Instead, Microsoft Internet Explorer will display a "Cannot find server or DNS" error message.

If you want to change this setting for all of the computer and not just this ASP.NET application, you must modify the Machine.config file.

By default, the element is set to the following parameters in the Machine.config file:
executionTimeout="90"
maxRequestLength="4096"
useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
minFreeThreads="8"
minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
appRequestQueueLimit="100"
/>

The Machine.config file is located in the \System Root\Microsoft.NET\Framework\Version Number\Config folder.

Theoretically, the maximum file upload size is fairly large. However, because of ASP.NET health monitoring, you cannot upload very large files in ASP.NET. The ASP.NET worker process has a virtual address space of 2 gigabytes (GB). However, the ASP.NET worker process only uses a little more than 1 GB because of health monitoring and memory fragmentation.

During the upload process, ASP.NET loads the whole file in memory before the user can save the file to the disk. Therefore, the process may recycle because of the memoryLimit attribute of the processModel tag in the Machine.config file. The memoryLimit attribute specifies the percentage of physical memory that the ASP.NET worker process can exhaust before the process is automatically recycled. Recycling prevents memory leaks from causing ASP.NET to crash or to stop responding.

Additionally, other factors play a role in the maximum file size that can be uploaded. These factors include available memory, available hard disk space, processor speed, and current network traffic. With regular traffic of files being uploaded, Microsoft recommends that you use a maximum file size in the range of 10 to 20 megabytes (MB). If you rarely upload files, the maximum file size may be 100 MB.

Note You can upload files that are larger than 100 MB in ASP.NET. However, Microsoft recommends that you follow the maximum file upload sizes that are mentioned in this article. To determine more precise file sizes, perform stress testing on computers that are similar to the ones that will be used in production.

You may notice the following error messages if you encounter file size limits during the file upload process:
• The page cannot be displayed.
• Server Application is Unavailable
In the event log, the error message will be similar to the following:
aspnet_wp.exe (PID:PIDNumber) was recycled because memory consumption exceeded the SizeLimit MB (Percentage percent of available RAM).
• Exception of type System.OutOfMemoryException was thrown.
You may also find that uploads occur very slowly. If you watch the Aspnet_wp.exe process in Windows Task Manager, you will notice that the memory delta changes by 64 KB every 1 to 2 seconds. Depending on the size of the file, this delay may cause the ASP.NET worker process to recycle because of a responseDeadlock error.

Paging Procedure.

I was need to do the paging at run time and get the page specific data.
Below is the procedure for the same i found while surfing the net and i belive this is a grat findings.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[utilPAGE]

AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE
@STMT nvarchar(max) -- SQL to execute
,@recct int -- total # of records (for GridView paging interface)

IF LTRIM(RTRIM(@filter)) = '' SET @filter = '1 = 1'
IF @pageSize IS NULL BEGIN
SET @STMT = 'SELECT ' + @fieldlist +
'FROM ' + @datasrc +
'WHERE ' + @filter +
'ORDER BY ' + @orderBy

EXEC sp_executeSQL @STMT, @params = N'@recct INT OUTPUT', @recct = @recct OUTPUT
SELECT @recct AS recct -- return the total # of records

DECLARE

@ubound int

SET @pageNum = ABS(@pageNum)
SET @pageSize = ABS(@pageSize)
IF @pageNum < 1 SET @pageNum = 1
IF @pageSize < 1 SET @pageSize = 1
SET @lbound = ((@pageNum - 1) * @pageSize)
SET @ubound = @lbound + @pageSize + 1
IF @lbound >= @recct BEGIN
SET @ubound = @recct + 1
SET @lbound = @ubound - (@pageSize + 1) -- return the last page of records if -- no records would be on the

END
SET @STMT = 'SELECT ' + @fieldlist + '

row < ' + CONVERT(varchar(9), @ubound)
EXEC (@STMT) -- return requested records
END

utilPAGE 'TableName', 'OrderBy', '*', '', 4, 10

@datasrc
- the table (or stored procedure, etc.) name
@orderBy
- the ORDER BY clause
@fieldlis
- the fields to return (including calculated ex-pressions)
@filter
- the WHERE clause
@pageNum
- the page to return (must be greater than or equal to one)
@pageSize
- the number of records per page

Javascript validation in Grid

In the row Data Bound event of the grid User has to find the Update control which will normally be in the first cell of the every grid row.Then after finding the control user has to add the attributes to the link button of the grid row.

if (e.Row.Cells[0].HasControls())
{
for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells[0].Controls.Count; i++)
{
if (e.Row.Cells[0].Controls[i].ToString() == "System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlLinkButton")
{
LinkButton lnkbtnUpdate = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[0].Controls[i];
if (lnkbtnUpdate.Text.ToUpper() == "UPDATE")
{
lnkbtnUpdate.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return onUpdateValidation('" + e.Row.FindControl("txtName").ClientID + "');");
break;
}
if (lnkbtnUpdate.Text.ToUpper() == "EDIT")
{
break;
}
}
}
}

Execute sql query with exec or execute and Passing Comma Seprated List of IDs to Store Procedure

Hi,

I was in need to create the query in string variable and execute the same.I found the solution which fits in my situation.

The below mentioned way gives you idea where i need that.As i have the list of values and i want only those records to be retrive from the Database.

EXECUTE(@STRQRY)

ALTER procedure [dbo].[spGetData]
@strDataIDs varchar(max)
as
begin
DECLARE @STRQRY NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @STRQRY= 'select * from DataMaster where accnum not in (' +@strDataIDs+ ')'
EXECUTE(@STRQRY)
end

Passing Array to Store Procedure in SQL

Passing the array as SQL Parameter is always a concern becuase running the ExceuteQuery for multiple Insert is not a good option through .NET gives you the Implementation of Transaction but this will only serve concurrency issue but somewhere er have to face the performance issue because of this.

So, the need to pass the array to Store Procedure is very comman and the best approch to do this is pass the xml to the Store Procedure in ntext variable.


Create procedure [dbo].[spSendXML]
(
@RecordXML ntext
)
AS

Begin

create Table #tbl (ID int)

DECLARE @idoc int
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc OUTPUT, @RecordXML

insert into #tbl
select ID
FROM OPENXML(@idoc,'/Root/Comp', 1)
WITH (ID varchar(50))


End


By doing this you can get all the data in SQL Temp Table.


Calling of the same Store Procedure.

spSendXML ''

Custom Text Box with ID and Text in read only mode.

I was having the situation where I have to show the account name in the application and consider accountid in functioning like insert, update.

Point to note here is i don't want to se any kind of list control like dropdown,listbox,etc.

So, I have created my own Text Box control which will provide me the facility to maintain the ID of the text.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication5
{
public class MyTextBox : TextBox
{
private string _valueID;
public string ValueID
{
get
{
return _valueID;
}
set
{
_valueID = value;
}
}
protected override void OnCreateControl()
{
this.ReadOnly = true;
base.OnCreateControl();
}
}
}

Thanks

Fetching Values Of Sql Table as Comma Seprated Values In SQL Variable

Declare @Str varchar(2000)

Begin

(Select @Str=COALESCE(@Str, '','') + Cast([Employee_name] as nvarchar(100)) + ','

from dbo.Employee )

Select substring(@Str,0,len(@str))

End

Max Length Validation (Display remaining character while typing)

Max Length validation is sometime doesn't give the right impact on the user as user has something in mind to type but at the end he/she came to know becuase of the max length of the field user is not allowed to type that long comment/value. So, better way is to display how many characters left from the total max length which user can enter in the field while he/she is entring the value of the field.

Code for the same is mentioned below.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>

<script language="java-script">
function textCounter(field, countfield, maxlimit)
{
if (field.value.length > maxlimit)
{
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
}
else
{
countfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length;
}
}
</script>

<style
.txtBoxes
{
border:solid 1px DarkGray;
width:100px;
}
</style>

</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<textarea "textCounter(areaTxtDetails, remlen, 10);" "textCounter(areaTxtDetails, remlen, 10);"
id="areaTxtDetails" "textCounter(areaTxtDetails, remlen, 10);" "textCounter(areaTxtDetails, remlen, 10);"
name="areaTxtDetails" rows="2" cols="65" class="areaTxtDetails" runat="server"> </textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:78%;">You have</span> <input type="text" id="remlen" cssclass="txtBoxes" width="30px"> <span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:78%;">characters remaining.</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>
</body>
</html>

Max Length validation

Max Length validation is generally we use like we dont allow user to enter the anything once the limit is over but most of the time we left with one loop hole in that.

Restrict the user on the keypress but we don't restrict the user on paste and if user paste something he/she can cross the limit event because at that time the key press event doesn't gets fired. So below is the solution for the same.

C# code

txtComments_Demotion.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "java-script:maxLength('" + txtComments_Demotion.ClientID + "','92');");
txtComments_Demotion.Attributes.Add("onpaste", "java-script:maxLengthPaste('" + txtComments_Demotion.ClientID + "','92');");

Javascript function in aspx page.

function maxLength(fieldName,maxChars)
{
field=document.getElementById(fieldName);
if(field.value.length >= maxChars) {
event.returnValue=false;
return false;
}
}

function maxLengthPaste(fieldName,maxChars)
{
field=document.getElementById(fieldName);
event.returnValue=false;
if((field.value.length + window.clipboardData.getData("Text").length) > maxChars) {
return false;
}
event.returnValue=true;
}
