Deploying a Custom Web Part

Posted By: Posted Date: September 10, 2010 Points: 0 Category :SharePoint

Deploying Visual Web Part with Custom Server controls

I created a Visual Web Part with VizStudio 2010. In this web part I have a custom server control that exists in a project I added to the solution.

When I deploy from the menu can I tell Studio to deploy the Custom Library or do I install that manually?

It builds fine, but when I add the web part to a web part page I get an exception that the assembly cannot be found.

Windows XP: Escape from DLL Hell with Custom Debugging and Instrumentation Tools and Utilities, Part

Building on his article published in the June issue, which demonstrated several ways to get process and DLL-related information from APIs such as PSAPI, NTDLL, and TOOLHELP32, the author presents some unusual ways to get system-oriented info that you can easily integrate in your own toolkit. There are three tools included as samples: LoadLibrarySpy, which monitors an application and detects which DLLs are really loaded; WindowDump, which retrieves the content and a detailed description of any window; and FileUsage, which redirects console-mode applications to tell you which process is using any opened file.

.NET Framework: Building, Packaging, Deploying, and Administering Applications and Types-Part 2

Part 1 of this series discussed how types built for the common language runtime can be shared among applications in the Microsoft .NET Framework regardless of the .NET languages used to build them. This second part continues with building assemblies by first covering security, sharing assemblies, versioning, localization, and side-by-side execution. Because in .NET two DLLs with the same name can be loaded as long as another attribute-which can include the localization language-differs, versioning is much easier than it used to be, so DLL Hell may become a thing of the past.

Deploying Web Part - Available on features and activated but not available on Web Parts

Deploying custom Web Parts on SharePoint 2007 production server

I would like to develop a custom SharePoint 2007 Web Part for a client. Currently I'm using Visual Studio to deploy my solution to a test environment (since it's a SharePoint Project I choose just Build -> Deploy from the menu). What are the appropriate steps to deploy it to the production server?

I'd like keep it simple and safe (i.e. use the principle of least privilege). Therefore (if possible) avoid using stsadm, achieve this through web interface, or avoid using administrative rights.

Also, can I specify the scope of my Web Part, i.e. choose on which Web Application or Site Collection will it be installed?

Need Suggestions for my Custom Web part

Hi All,

This may be a little longwinded to give you all the details so please bare with me. I'm hoping someone has some creative suggestions regarding how to approach a problem I'm having.

I've created a web part which reads list items from an announcement list. I then display the "title" field as a link on the web part for the most recent 5 items. When the title link is clicked, it uses jQuery UI to pop open a window and display the body. Currently, when a list item is displayed, I programmatically give that table row a class name.

Example: If there are 3 list items, item 1 would have a class name class="item1", item 2 is class="item2" etc.. Currently I have a hard stop at 5 items. This is because the jQuery looks for the class names in order to know which body to display. So in my js file I have those class names hard coded up to 5 items.

Finally! The problem I'm having is that I can't have multiple instances of this custom web part on the page due to the class names. If I have 2 instances of this web part on the same page and I click the first item from one of the web parts, the body of the first item on both web parts opens. Because both have the class name "item1". I am looking for suggestions regarding how I can implement this in a way that will allow the class names to be auto generated (proba

Overriding web.config in sharepoint webpart/using custom membership in web part

I'm developing a web part for MOSS 2007. The web part is being deployed to a web application which utilizes forms-based authentication, and role/membership providers to control users. The membership table has been edited to include addition user info (I am aware, that this isn't the best way to handle additional user, i.e. profiles etc., however, this is a requirement from another department). Since my web part needs to access this information, I was thinking of implementing a custom membership provider. So far I've followed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6tc47t75.aspx and I've got my custom membership class, and a very stripped down membershipprovider-class. But how do I enable/use this membership provider in my web part? I've tried creating a simple web.config in the "WebPartCode" folder of my solution, next to my webpart code file, with connection string and membership provider tags. But I don't even really know how to build/reference/use the membership provider itself, so I don't know what else I need to do. I've built a C# class library project with the two classes (membershipprovider and custom membershipuser) and compiled it and installed it in the global assembly cache - is this correct? and how do I access them from here? Hope someone can help

Custom Web Part Problem After SharePoint Restore

Hi, I've recently moved our sharepoint site and databases (using Microsoft Internal Database) to another standalone server. I did a catastrophic backup and then restored it on the destination server successfully via the central Administration page. I have also copied our custom web part library dll to 'c:\windows\assembly' directory and 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\bin' directory. I also copied over the old web.config file to 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80'. However, I still seem to be missing something as I get the error below while loading the site. I haven't been able to find a solution so hoping someone has seen it before here. Has anyone seen this happen before? Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Deploying custom 2007 site definition to 2010

For a customer I am upgrading their SharePoint 2007 enviroment to SharePoint 2010. After a succesfull upgrade I am stuck with one last annoying problem: when creating a publishing site collection using a custom definition the provisioning of the site definition fails. Interesting about this is that the provisioning works from the central admin UI, but this customer has an custom webpart for creating site collections in a web application outside of Central administration. The simplified code for this is: public static bool Create(SPWebApplication webApp, string Url, string siteTitle, string siteDescription, uint lcid, string siteTemplate, string ownerLogin, string ownerName, string ownerEmail) { SPSite site = null; try { SPSite newSiteCollection = webApp.Sites.Add(Url, siteTitle, siteDescription, lcid, siteTemplate, ownerLogin, ownerName, ownerEmail); newSiteCollection.Close(); newSiteCollection.Dispose(); site = GetRootSite(webApp); bool r = (site != null) ? true : false; return r; } catch { return false; } finally { if (site != null) site.Dispose(); } } The exception is thrown when webApp.Sites.Add() is executed. The user we are logged in as, as wel the appID, are Farm Admin's. The ULS shows this exception: Exception thrown while fetching field by internal name 'Wiki_x0020_Page_x0020

Custom Web Part deployment with class library reference

Hi All, We have class library as a project in our solution as well as a web part project. Our web part simply references and executes a service utility class in the class library and outputs it into a label. The deployment is successful but when attempting to add the web part to the page, it comes out with a error page saying "File Not Found" with a correlation ID and date/time reference. Once we take out the code that executes the utility class, it deploys fine and we're able to add it to the page without any issues. It seems evident that any reference to our class library causes this "File Not Found" issue... but we're not sure how to implement this solution. Any ideas? Do we add the class library dll directly into the GAC? If so, how? Is there another reference we have to implement in the AssemblyInfo.cs? If so, what does that look like? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Eric

Encapsulating custom list into a deployable web part.

Hello,I have created a custom list (using the internal create column method and not infopath) and then created new pages (EditForm.aspx, NewForm.aspx) using sharepoint designer so that I could format the pages as I needed. I need to somehow 'deploy' the entire custom list as a single web part whereby when another sharepoint instance could use the web part and utilize all the pages (new, edit etc)ÃÂ but always stay within the web part. - the only way i can see to do this is to create a new wep partÃÂ using sp designer and using div's to hide / show different content.ÃÂ or, could i actually do a master page thing.Please help.If what I have said above is total gibberish then please say and I will try to explain it differently. Many thanks for any help I really am stuck in a hole.Kind regards,Jason.

Custom Web Part doesn't work with in anonymous access

Hi there, I have a custom webpart in a farm solution deployed to my site. Anonymous users should be able to view the site, however they can't because they are required to login due to the custom web part. If i remove the webpart from the page, anonymous users can view the site perfectly without the need to login. There is nothing really special about the webpart. It's a visual web part which uses the site and it's web data to display a sort of menu. Any idea? Thx in advance! Brecht
