Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how people manage to have a separate development server and a production server environment when they do SharePoint development. There are some obvious ways of deploying Web parts but how do you synchronize a Site or a Site Collection where you do things like customizing a Document Library by creating some Site Columns in a content type hub for instance. I mean you can't always do changes in a live environment right. So please elaborate a bit on this. Kind regards,

Hi guys, I have a problem that I'm really stuck with for sometime here. I have setup a Team site with some document management stuff but its just not possible to access it from the intranet, whenever I do that I get the login dialog. Enter the username/password and it asks again and after the 3rd time, the dialog goes away with only a blank (white) screen in the browser. Any help appreciated! Thanks,

Rocky My Blog

Hmm.. thanks Jeremy! :)

I see, thanks Wayne!

Rocky My Blog

Yes you're right. Just did that a minute ago or so :) By the way... do you know why this is so? Just curious!

Rocky My Blog

There are no errors in the output window. But you are quite right about the focus. I just added

UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged

like this

<TextBox Text="{Binding Name, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>

and it actually works... But I really don't see why this is so. Thanks for the help!

Tried that too, didn't work unfortunately. :(

Hi guys, I'm working for the first time in WPF with MVVM pattern and I have a datagrid that is populated according to search terms in textbox on top. Right now, I'm able to populate the grid with all the data but I'm not able to get the value of the TextBox so I can filter it. So here's a bit of the code: In ViewModel:

private string p_searchName;
public string _searchName
{
get
{
return p_searchName;
}
set
{
p_searchName = value;

            base.RaisePropertyChanged("\_searchName");
        }
    }

In xaml file

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

hi guys, I have a document library where I have the Document ID feature enabled and I get the ID's generated as well. Now the problem is that I wanna show the document ID as a column in the document library and I can't figure how to do that. Seems pretty simple on the face though. Would appreciate any helps or queues please! Thanks in Advance.

Rocky My Blog

well, you dont need to use coordinates in asp .net. All u have to do is save those dynamically generated images of barcodes (with probably the ID of the product or something to uniquely identify them) and then use the ASP image control to assign the URL to it. Hope that answers the question. Good luck

I'm not sure I fully understand the requirement but I think looking at using DetailsView with a TemplateField Should solve your problem coz you can do a lot of formatting in it. This might elaborate on that a bit. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288035.aspx[^] Good luck

hi, I didnt know that till now. Could you please elaborate on that a bit more coz I'm working in VS2010. When I right click the solution file (or the project file too) and go to Add then I dont see any option of Adding a mapped folder or something similar. Actually I have developed a few web parts in SP2010 so I was familiar with this option as well but can't find this with SP2007. Thanks,

Rocky My Blog

No I think you got it wrong because this article deals with SP 2010. I'm working in SP07. But thanks a lot anyway :)

Thanks for the comment Mark, I'm trying to use the embedded resources method so what I've done is I added resource file to the web part project, then I added the two pictures as resources and tried to get the URL of those by doing something like

img.ImageUrl = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(typeof(Image), "ActivityActualSignedLarge.png");

I have also tried doing it like

My.Namespace.Name.Resources.Imagename.png

where Resources is the name of the resource file but it doesn't show the image as well. While debugging I do see a relative path but that is generated even if I input a non existent name of the image as well. So... what am I doing wrong now :( Appreciate your help!

hi there, I need to know how you can add images in a web part and contain them inside the web part so that when you deploy it on another server, the images automatically go with the whole package and get mapped automatically also. It was pretty easy with SP2010 as it has the “Mapped Folder” thing in it. So far I see a pictures library to use but you’d have to do something special for deployment purposes as I understand it. What I’m doing right now is that I am developing a web part with a grid view which would have standard icon like images in a column. What’s the best way to manage these images is what I’m looking for? Thank you very much for your help in advance! :rose:

Rocky My Blog

Yes that was the problem, I didn't know you have to activate the feature before being able to see the web parts :) Thanks a lot and sorry for the delayed response, I had already figured that out actually

Rocky My Blog

I think you're missing the Register tag at the top in the master page where you specify the assembly, in your case, that would be the AJAXToolkit assembly that is to be registered in the program. I'm also new to Sharepoint and if you're trying to implement Ajax Toolkit in SP2010, its not going to be so straightforward mate, that's all I can tell you right now. You also have to get an older release of the AJAX Toolkit coz the latest one is compatible with .net 4.0 while Sharepoint stands at 3.5! :) But good luck to u though!

Hey guys, This is the first time I'm doing a deployment of a web part so please excuse me in case I'm making a silly mistake. My solution has about 3-4 webparts that I developed over the Win7 environment and now I need to deploy these to the remote server for testing which is Win Server 2008 R2. I made the wsp file which I moved over to the remote server, then I used the powerShell command Add-SPSolution and Install-SPSolution with -webapplication and -GacDeployment switches. The trouble is that the wsp gets installed, that I know because when I do stsadm -o -enumsolutions, it shows an XML output showing that wsp and its status as "Deployed". But when I open up the SharePoint administration website, go to a page, edit, add a webpart then it does not show the web part in the list of web parts. Any ideas?! Thanks in advance,

Thanks a lot Mark, I got it sorted out. Shouldn't have asked such a basic question myself :doh:

Hi guys, I'm building a Master-detail type form where the master form has a SPGridView where we have linkbuttons to enable the user to click a serial number of a product and I would like to have the details of that product opened up in a new window. But I dont know how this could be made possible in SharePoint 2010. Any suggestions, comments on that? Thanks in advance,
