CCF Tips

Problem--> "Configuration has encountered a problem while trying to access the Configuration web service. The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme"

Reason --> The user doesn't have enough permissions to access the inbuilt websites

Solution --> (1) Go to the 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot'
(2) Open the web.config file of each website
(3) Change the access write to authorized users

=============================================================================================

Problem--> "C:\Program Files\Support Tools> httpcfg set urlacl /u http://+:1000/ /a D:(A;;GX;;;s-1-5-21-3811445897-853718750-2640504884-1107) returns 1332 other than 0"

Reason --> The Operating system is not 32 bit

Solution --> (1)Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=96A35011-FD83-419D-939B-9A772EA2DF90&displaylang=en
(2) install this if you are using 64bit Server version

What is Customer Care Framework


Customer Care Framework is well known as CCF. This is not a really new technology. But now this is coming with new features with release of CCF 3.0. The CCF is consists of many components like Admin Console, Adapter Manager, Web Services + Multi Channel Services. All these are integrated with Agent Desktop. This helps agents to work in a efficient manner with less stress. The integration capability is expanded to Sharepoint, Biztalk & all other business applications.

WORKFLOW FOUNDATION ENGINE

It's time to move from sharepoint to workflow engine. Actually i have to combine these 2 technologies.

WORKFLOW FOUNDATION (WF) has 2 main areas
(1) WCF(Windows Communication Foundation)
(2) WPF(Windows Presentation Foundation)

when design the workflow it has 3 approaches
(1) No-Code (using Sharepoint Designer)
(2) Code (Using VS++++++)
(3) Code-beside (combination of above methods)

The WF came up with many advanced concepts like,
***Validator
***Executor
***Serializer

So many will come soon... :)

Programatically Add a WORKFLOW to a SPList

private void setWorkflow()
{
try
{
SPWeb web = site.RootWeb;
SPList refList = web.Lists["DepartmentDetails"];

SPWorkflowManager wfManager = site.WorkflowManager;
SPWorkflowTemplateCollection wfTemplates = wfManager.GetWorkflowTemplatesByCategory(web, null);
string test = wfTemplates[0].Name;
test = wfTemplates[1].Name;
test = wfTemplates[2].Name;
test = wfTemplates[3].Name;
test = wfTemplates[4].Name;
SPList taskList = web.Lists["Tasks"];

Guid WorkflowHistoryGuid = web.Lists.Add("HistoryOfWorkflow", "description History", SPListTemplateType.WorkflowHistory);
SPList HistoryList = web.Lists[WorkflowHistoryGuid];
//SPList HistoryList = web.Lists["HistoryOfWorkflow"];

SPWorkflowTemplate wfTempl = wfTemplates.GetTemplateByName("Approval", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
SPWorkflowAssociation wfAssocite = SPWorkflowAssociation.CreateListAssociation(wfTempl, wfTempl.Name, taskList, HistoryList);

wfAssocite.AutoStartCreate = true;
refList.AddWorkflowAssociation(wfAssocite);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}

//
SIMPLE FILTERING

//query.Query= "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='SystemName'/><ValueType='Text'>" + pstrSystemName + "</Value></Eq></Where>";


SPListItemCollection collec = refList.GetItems(query);

//
UPDATE AN ENTRY

if (collec!= null && collec.Count > 0)

Enable Search In Sharepoint Easily

1) Go to CURRENT Web application through Central Administration

2) Create a site collection using "SEARCH CENTRE WITH TABS" under ENTERPRISE tab

3) Name as "SearchSiteChanaka"

3) Go to the CURRENT site

4) Go to all site settings

5) Search settings --> set as /sites/SearchSiteChanaka/Pages/

6) When user click he will be redirected to the search result page J

One small thing that you have to do now...

Go to

use of Singleton Pattern

The use of the singleton pattern is, it creates only one instance. First tme it will create an instance, but when the next call it will return the current instance, not create new instance.

Practical Example:- Normally a user can’t get two credit cards from same bank

public sealed class Logger

{

static Logger instance=null;

static readonly object padlock = new object();

private TextWriterTraceListener listener;

public void Create(string filename)

{

if (listener == null)

{

listener = new TextWriterTraceListener(filename);

}

}

Logger()

{

}

public void WriteLog(string message)

{

listener.Write(message);

}

public static Logger Instance

{

get

{

lock (padlock)

{

if (instance==null)

{

instance = new Logger();

}

return instance;

}

}

}

}

Add a OOB webpart programatically in to a page

//
Add a webpart programatically in a easy manner
J

I tried to find out a method to add OOB webparts directly into a page.
Today I managed to do it!!!!!!!

This
is very useful if we are going to add Events, Forum(Discussion
board), Tasks list into our page with the OOB features.

using(SPLimitedWebPartManager wpm =web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(siteMapPage.Url,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared))

{

//am creating a Task list

Guid WorkflowHistoryGuid = web.Lists.Add(ConfigurationInfo.Tasks, ConfigurationInfo.Tasks,SPListTemplateType.Tasks);


SPList TaskList = web.Lists[ConfigurationInfo.Tasks];

TaskList.OnQuickLaunch = true;
TaskList.Update();

//actual
work starts

ListViewWebPart webPart = new ListViewWebPart();
SPList
taskList = web.Lists[ConfigurationInfo.Tasks];
SPView
viewMyTasks = taskList.Views[“My Tasks”];
viewMyTasks.DefaultView = true;
viewMyTasks.Update();

taskList.Update();

webPart.ListName = taskList.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper();

webPart.ViewGuid = taskList.DefaultView.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper();
wpm.AddWebPart(webPart,"MiddleRightZone", 2);

}

VSTS 2010 your ultimate tool

Today i had a chance to look about the VSTS 2010....
It's going to be the next revolution in the programming world....

It will be consists of
(1) Discover and identify existing code assets and architecture with the new Architecture Explorer.
(2) Design and share multiple diagram types, including use case, activity and sequence diagrams.
(3) Improve testing efforts with tooling for better documentation of test scenarios and more thorough collection of test data.
(4) Identify and run only the tests impacted by a code change easily with the new Test Impact View.
(5) Enhanced version control capabilities including gated check-in, branch visualization and build workflow.

There will be so many features...
The best chance that you are getting with the VSTS is, it manage all the things from the design phase to the deployment phase...

Create a webpart using Visual Studio

This is an old method, but i think this will be useful if someone has very basic knowledge.
User can add a usercontrol & any code can be in your usercontrol

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI;

namespace UCAddSubjectNewsWebpart
{
public class UCAddSubjectNews : WebPart
{
UserControl usercontrol;
protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
usercontrol.RenderControl(writer);
}

protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
base.CreateChildControls();
this.Controls.Clear();
usercontrol=(UserControl)this.Page.LoadControl("~/usercontrols/Name_of_user_control.ascx");
this.Controls.Add(usercontrol);
}
}

Install a feature into sharepoint

1) Open Visual Studio Command Promt

2) Navigate to 12 hive folder
a. cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN

3) stsadm –o installfeature – name myFeature

4) Activate the feature by using the site settings --> site administration --> site features --> Click activate button of myFeature (new feature)

When you create a Document Management System

Factors that should be considered before make a document library (SharePoint)
1) Types of document that we are going to store (upload)
2) Templates that we are going to use
3) Metadata that associated with the documents
4) Access control
5) Policy of the documents
6) Conversion of documents (if needed in future)
7) Ability to move documents away from the document library

Most of these features can be done by using the OOB features
1) Permission setting of the document libraries
2) Target audience of the document libraries
3) Select main type of the document that we are focusing on library

How to plan the document library
1) Define the roles
2) Estimate the usage of documents
3) Organize the document
4) Content types (metadata, features, properties)
5) Content control
6) Workflows
7) Policy management
