send an e-mail with attachment from SharePoint

One of the ways to send an e-mail from SharePoint as developer, is to make use of the “SPUtility.SendEmail” classes. But unfortunately I did not find any possibility to include an attachment with the help of these classes.

I have used SPAdministrationWebApplication for used shaerpoint email credential and send email with attachement through system.net class.


using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities;
using System.Net.Mail;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;
using System.Net;


//Get the Sharepoint SMTP information from the SPAdministrationWebApplication
string smtpServer = SPAdministrationWebApplication.Local.OutboundMailServiceInstance.Server.Address;
string smtpFrom = SPAdministrationWebApplication.Local.OutboundMailSenderAddress;

//Create the mail message and supply it with from and to info
MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage(smtpFrom, smtpTo);

//Set the subject and body of the message
mailMessage.Subject = "Test";
mailMessage.Body = "test email .";

//Download the content of the file with a WebClient
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();


//Supply the WebClient with the network credentials of our user
webClient.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

//Download the byte array of the file
byte[] data = webClient.DownloadData(imagepath);

//Dump the byte array in a memory stream because
//we can write it to our attachment
MemoryStream memoryStreamOfFile = new MemoryStream(data);

//Add the attachment
//mailMessage.Attachments.Add(new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(memoryStreamOfFile, insert_filename_attachment, insert_content_type));
mailMessage.Attachments.Add(new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(memoryStreamOfFile, ImageName));
//, insert_content_type));


//Create the SMTP client object and send the message
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient(smtpServer);
smtpClient.Host = "hostname";

//Delivery mothod which get attachement which size is more than 1 MB and immediately send email to user
smtpClient.Port = 2095;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);



Hopy this stuff is useful for every developer.

Sharepoint Development: Object Model vs Web Services

When you've to develop a custom solution based on WSS/MOSS, I see that sometimes there are doubts on what technology to use in order to interop with the Sharepoint platform: should I use the Sharepoint Object Model APIs or should I use Sharepoint Web Services?

Use the Sharepoint Object Model if your code will be executed on a Sharepoint server farm machine. This is the best way if the final application will run on the Sharepoint server or if you're developing a Sharepoint WebPart.

To work with the Sharepoint Object Model, Right-click your Visual Studio project and add a reference to the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll located on the following directory:

C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\isapi

If you're planning to develop a custom application that needs to interact with Sharepoint from a remote client, the best way is to use Sharepoint Web Services (the object model is not designed to support Remoting).

Using SPQuery to filter lists by User & Group Column

If you want to filter a list based on the value in the look up field that is of type ‘Person or Group’, We have to consider the following options:

• Filter by the User Name.
• Filter by SPUser ID Property
• Filter by Domain User account

Filter by the User Name:

By default the settings for the ‘Person or Group’ column will have the following settings.

The Show Field will have the “Name with Presence” selected.

When we run a SPQuery search on the list using the following code we will be able to filter the list based on the fullname of the user.

 using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite("http://moss:80"))

          {

              using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())

              {

                  oList = oWeb.Lists["Project Tasks"];

                  SPQuery query = new SPQuery();

                  query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' /><Value Type='User'>Tushar Parikh</Value></Eq></Where>";

                  SPListItemCollection items = oList.GetItems(query);



            }

         }

Filtering by SPUser ID :

If you want to filter the list based on the SPUser ID then follow the steps below.

• Add an additional attribute ‘LookupId’ for the queried field in your CAML query

<FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' LookupId='TRUE'/>

using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite("http://moss:80"))

           {

               using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())

              {

                  oList = oWeb.Lists["Project Tasks"];

                  SPQuery query = new SPQuery();

                  query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' LookupId='TRUE'/><Value Type='User'>7</Value></Eq></Where>";

                 SPListItemCollection items = oList.GetItems(query);

               }

         }

Filtering by Domain User Account :

If you want to filter the list based on the Domain User Account then follow the steps below.

• Change the ‘Show Field’ Settings of the Person or Group lookup column to ‘Account’

Modify your code to include the domain account in the filter value.

using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite("http://moss:80"))

{

using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())

{

oList = oWeb.Lists["Project Tasks"];

SPQuery query = new SPQuery();

query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' /><Value Type='User'>komal\tparikh</Value></Eq></Where>";

SPListItemCollection items = oList.GetItems(query);

}

}

Move Wss 3.0 site to Moss 2007 -> error : version problem

Hi guys,

Today, i am trying to restore wss 3.0 site into moss 2007. My wss 3.0 site's version is 12.0.0.6421 and new moss server site's version is 12.0.4518. During restore time, i get error message regarding version.

Cause : Your backup is from a different version of Windows SharePoint Services and canno
t be restored to a server running the current version. The backup file should be
restored to a server with version '12.0.0.6421' or later.

Solution :
(1) Install wss 3.0 sp2
(2) Install Moss 2007 sp2
(3) Reset IIS

After installation, moss 2007 version is same displayed as wss 3.0.

(4) Restore you wss 3.0 site to moss 2007.
(5) Browser your web application.

SharePoint 2007 Versions

The first approach is to open a web browser and got to the site settings page (Site Actions > Site Settings > Modify All Settings).

The second approach is against the databases. Open SQL Server Management Studio, Connect to the server, new query, run the following:

SELECT [VersionId]
,[Version]
,[Id]
,[UserName]
,[TimeStamp]
,[FinalizeTimeStamp]
,[Mode]
,[ModeStack]
,[Updates]
,[Notes]
FROM [SharePoint_Config].[dbo].[Versions]
WHERE VersionId = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'
ORDER BY Id DESC

This returns (columns reduced for readability):

VersionId	Version	Id	UserName	Updates
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000	12.0.0.6219	4	MOSS\user	3
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000	12.0.0.4518	1	MOSS\user	2

The top row is the latest version. The query is performed on the SharePoint Configuration database. If you have called this database something instead of "SharePoint_Config" change the query to reflect this.

You can also look at the versions for Content Databases, by changing the database name. For example: FROM WSS_Content_MySites.[dbo].[Versions]

Server Error: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=96177

In order to protect MOSS 2007 using DPM 2007 SP1, a few updates/ hotfixes need to be applied on MOSS 2007 server. One of the hotfix is "Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 post-Service Pack 1 hotfix package: January 31, 2008 (KB941422)". You may get details on this Knowledge Base from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941422

After installing the update on MOSS 2007 server, you might experience that the MOSS web site is no more accessible but with a blank page and "Server error: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=96177" on it. After some troubleshooting and we solve the problem by running this command on the MOSS 2007 front-end web server:

stsadm –o upgrade –inplace [-url <http://mosswebsite URL>] forceupgrade

PSCONFIG.EXE -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force

IISRESET

This normally will happen even when you upgrade from WSS 3.0 to MOSS 2007 or install MOSS service pack 1 or Moss Service pack 2.

Show Currency with different locate in Sharepoint Data View Web Part

Suppose you’d like just a single DVWP to display numbers (either currency or regular numbers) in a different locale than the host site. This trick lets you do just that.

1. Open the page you need to customize with Sharepoint Designer. Switch to code view. Perform a search to find the tag xsl:decimal-format. Change the whole line with:

<xsl:decimal-format name="European" decimal-separator="," grouping-separator="." minus-sign="-" NaN="error" />

2. Now, locate your <xsl:value-of select=”@Total”/> and replace it as follows:
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(@Total, "€#.###,00;-€#.###,00", "European")"/>

WSS 3.0: When trying to search on sharepoint site, Getting message “No results matching your search were found.”

1. Symptom –
=============

–>When you are trying to perform search on your SharePoint site on your sharepoint server, you are getting following error message:

No results matching your search were found.
Check your spelling. Are the words in your query spelled correctly?
Try using synonyms. Maybe what you’re looking for uses slightly different words.
Make your search more general. Try more general terms in place of specific ones.
Try your search in a different scope. Different scopes can have different results.

–>Windows SharePoint help search is working fine and it gave results when we searched for “SharePoint”

–>Unable to get results on the SharePoint site

2. Cause –
==========

–>Issue due to windows Updates

3. Resolution –
================

–>We created a registry entry in the following location

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

–>Created a new DWORD key named “DisableLoopbackCheck” and modified the value to 1

–>We performed Full Crawl by the command

stsadm -o spsearch -action fullcrawlstart

–>We performed Search and it worked successfully

Setup and Install SharePoint 2007 Server (MOSS) on Virtual PC

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/sharepoint/Install_SharePoint_on_VPC.aspx

Hiding the Search Box When Printing

* Open the master page in SharePoint Designer
* Add the following style either to a CSS file included in the master page or as a style within the master page itself:

@media print{
.HideForPrinting
{
display:none;
}
}

* Locate the delegate control used to display the search box and add the code shown in italics:

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id=”PlaceHolderSearchArea” runat=”server”>
<span class=”HideForPrinting”>
<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat=”server” ControlId=”SmallSearchInputBox”/>
</span>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

This defines a span that uses the style HideForPriting, the content of which will be hidden when the page is printed.

Change size of Rich Text Editing Control

When using the rich text column type in SharePoint lists the edit control has a fixed width of 384 pixels. This is often too small for easy editing.

If you need to change the width for a single form, open the form in SharePoint Designer and add a style defining ms-rtelong at the top of the content place holder in which the form is displayed with new dimensions, e.g.


<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderMain” runat=”server”>

<style type=”text/css”>
.ms-rtelong {
width:700px;
height:600px;
}
</style>

How to access inetpub root folder using programatically in sharepoint

Call Javascript on Page Load in Sharepoint Application Page

http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/06/21/using-javascript-to-manipulate-a-list-form-field.aspx

Customize Edit Page and Redirect page after update using java script

1. In Sharepoint Designer take your EditForm.aspx and copy it.
2. Rename it
3. Open this new form and click on the PlaceHolderMain (leave your ListFormWebPart on the page)
4. In the ListFormWebPart scroll down the properties in the xml which describes the webpart and change to false. For some reason the form will not work unless you leave the original on the page.
4. Click on Insert->Sharepoint Controls->Custom List Form
5. Choose the appropriate List and select Edit Form
6. Sharepoint generates the form for you.

To customize the save button, find the following control on the page Sharepoint:SaveButton

1. Delete the SaveButton
2. Add

input type="button" value="Save" name="btnSave" onclick="javascript: {ddwrt:GenFireServerEvent('__commit;__redirect={Thanks.aspx}')}"

Delete Title Column in custom list sharepoint

Title column in custom list could be confusing in sharepoint. When you create any new custom list, Tital column is default column in list. You can't delete it but rename column name.

There is no way to Hide or Delete “Title” Column from List Settings User Interface. You can hide it by deselecting this column in your View but then you cannot edit the item as you wouldn’t have any Column linked to edit menu.

he only way to hide the “Title” Column is by writing a Custom List Definition, remember every Custom List MUST have this column as this is included in the Global ONET.xml (for Type “0″ List).

Upload File/Document in DocLibrary/List using Sharepoint Object Model

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
{

using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{

SPList list = web.Lists["MyList"];
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPListItem item = null;
item = list.Items.Add();

item["Title"] = "Test by Tushar";
string fileName = "";
if (File1.PostedFile != null)
{
Stream fStream = File1.PostedFile.InputStream;

byte[] contents = new byte[fStream.Length];
fStream.Read(contents, 0, (int)fStream.Length);
fStream.Close();
fStream.Dispose();

SPAttachmentCollection attachments = item.Attachments;
fileName = Path.GetFileName(File1.PostedFile.FileName);

Improve Sharepoint Site Performance using Blogcache

When a SharePoint is application is created, a web.config file is created in the application folder you specified. One of the entries inside the SharePoint element is BlobCache. By default, it looks like this:

<BlobCache location="C:\blobCache" path="\.(gif|jpg|png|css|js)$" maxSize="10" enabled="false" />

In order to improve the performance of your site, the BlobCache should be enabled.

<BlobCache location="C:\blobCache" path="\.(gif|jpg|png|css|js)$" maxSize="10" enabled="true" />

The maxSize attribute is in GigaBytes, so make sure you have enough room at the location.


See this article for more information about other caching techniques: http://blogs.msdn.com/ecm/archive/2006/11/08/how-to-make-your-moss-2007-web-site-faster-with-caching.aspx

Store Metadata in Property Bag for SPWEB

Property bags are a new feature of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. A property bag enables you, as a developer, to add properties to objects in a Windows SharePoint Services site. Property bags are implemented by Windows SharePoint Services as a simple hash table of property names and values.

Many Windows SharePoint Services objects expose property bags, including:

SPWeb
SPFolder
SPFile
SPListItem

You can create and remove properties in a property bag programmatically, and you can modify the values assigned to properties. After updating a property in a property bag, you must invoke the Update() method so that the property value is persisted in the site database.

The following example shows code for adding a property to the property bag of an SPWeb object. The code also shows how to iterate through the property bag to retrieve key names and values.
Visual C# Code Example

// Obtain a reference to the current Web
SPWeb list = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);
// Enable updates to be made to the SPWeb object
list .AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
// Add a property and update the property bag
list .Properties.Add("Project", "Development");
list .Properties.Update();
// Disable updates for the SPWeb object
list .AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
// Iterate through the properties in the property bag
for each(System.Collections.DictionaryEntry webProperty
in list .Properties)
{
this.Page.Response.Write(webProperty.Key.ToString()
+ " : "
+ webProperty.Value.ToString()
+ "
");
}

Once my metadata are added to my SPWeb properties, it's impossible to remove them.

Here is my code to delete :

site.Properties.Remove("mykey");

site.Properties.Update();

site.Update();

Bind List Items using SPDataSource using the object model

SPDataSource is a control that can be used to access data without needing declarative code


<%@ Register Tagprefix="SPwebControls" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>


<SPWebControls:SPDataSource runat="server" ID="dsPersonTitles" DataSourceMode="List"
SelectCommand="<Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='FirstName' /></OrderBy></Query>"

>

<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="WebUrl" DefaultValue="{sitecollectionroot}" />
<asp:Parameter Name="ListName" DefaultValue="Employee" />
</SelectParameters>
</SPWebControls:SPDataSource>

<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ddlPersonTitles" CssClass="title" DataSourceID="dsPersonTitles" DataTextField="FirstName" DataValueField="ID">
</asp:DropDownList>

Parameters

The SPDataSource Inherits from SPDataSourceView, basically a helper class for SPDataSourceView.
After a little Reflector-ing of SPDataSourceView I found these keys it is processing from from the parameter values collection.

• webid
• weburl
• rootfolder
• listid
• listname
• listitemguid
• listitemid
• folderid
• nextpagedata
• startrowindex
• maximumrows

SharePoint Object Model

The SharePoint object model has four top-level objects:

* SPWeb (represents an individual site).
* SPSite (represents a site collection, which is a set of web sites).
* SPVirtualServer (represents a virtual server).
* SPGlobalAdmin (used for global administration settings).

In order to perform actions on data within a web, it is necessary to first get an SPWeb object (e.g. SPWeb MyWeb = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);)

The complete object model is grouped into lists, files (documents), security and administration:

* Lists - use these objects under the Microsoft.SharePoint namespace to view and edit data in SharePoint lists:
o SPList (basic list object for getting to list data).
o SPListCollection (collection of list objects).
o SPListItem (item/row in a list).
o SPListItemCollection (collection of list items).
o SPView (view of a SharePoint list).
o SPField (field/column in a list).
o SPListTemplate (template for a list).
* Files - use these objects under the Microsoft.SharePoint namespace to access document files in SharePoint sites:
o SPFile (file object).
o SPFileCollection (collection of files).
o SPFileVersion (version of a file).
o SPFolder (folder object).
o SPDocumentLibrary (document library object).
o SPDocDiscussion (discussions on a file).
o SPDocTemplate (used when creating a new file).
* Security - use these objects under the Microsoft.SharePoint namespace to edit access rights and security information:
o SPUser (user object).
o SPRole (site group object).
o SPGroup (cross-site group object).
o SPPermission (assigned permissions).
o SPRightsEnumeration (available permissions).
* Administration - use these objects under the Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration namespace to edit server-wide administrative settings.
o SPGlobalAdmin (top level administration object).
o SPVirtualServer (virtual Server object).
o SPQuota (storage/user quota limit object).
o SPGlobalConfig (configuration options).
o SPSiteCollection (collection of sites on a virtual server).

In terms of mapping the user interface onto the object model terminology:

* Site Collection = site.
* Site = web.
* Top-level site = rootweb.
* Subsite = subweb.
