MVC2 UpdateModel method, with custom ViewModel and cruicially.... PartialViews.

I have an external list setup with the usual CRUD methods.  The external SQL table is also being populated by another source.  I want to enable/disable deleting depending on whether the record was created from SharePoint.  I would also like the normal list permissions to work.  So if a user has permissions to delete on the list, they can only delete items created for SharePoint. 

Where should this logic be incorporated?  On the BCS Delete method, somewhere in the External Content Type or on the list instance?  Most examples I find relate to security trimming for search.  I'm only concerned about the delete method.

I'm sure there are multiple ways to accomplish this.  Which is the best?

Thanks,
Ryan

I have a requirement to add specific functionality to an asp.net mvc2 web site to provide addtional SEO capability, as follows:

The incoming URL is plain text, perhaps a containing a sentence as follows

"http://somesite.com/welcome-to-our-web-site" or "http://somesite.com/cool things/check-out-this-awesome-video"

In the MVC pipeline, I would like to take this URL, strip off the website name, look up the remaining portion in a database table and call an appropriate controller/view based on the content of the data in the table. All controllers will simply take a single parameter bieng the unique id from the lookup table. A different controller may be used depnding on different urls, but this must be derieved from the database.

If the url cannot be resolved a 404 error needs to be provided, if the url is found but obsolete then a 302 redirect needs to be provided.

Where the url is resolved it must be retained in the browser address bar.

I have had a look at the routing model, and custom routing and can't quite work out how to do it using these, as the controller would not be predefined, based on a simple route. I am also unsure of what to do to provide 404, 302 back to the headers also. Perhpas I need a custom httpmodule or similar but going there went beyond my understanding.

This must be possible someho

Hi All,

I created a SharePoint Form Library, and added a button in the form. Then, by following the steps of adding custom code. I was trying to add codes to the button click event in VSTA. When I try to publish this form to my SharePoint library, I got an error message say:

"The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened in InfoPath Filler.

There is an error in the InternalStartup method of form code.

There may be additional error detials in the Design Checker task pane."

However, I did not make any changes to the InternalStartup. and then I tried to create another SharePoint Form Library Form in InfoPath Designer, and just add click event, but did not input any code, I got the same error. So I believe this is caused by either environment or the configuration of SharePoint Server. Could anyone help me out? Thanks!

Hi,

I want to create a new site definition which, when provisioned, includes an instance of a custom list. The custom list definition is contained in a feature as part of the site definition project. What's the best method for creating an instance of this custom list?

I can think of a few ways to do it:

- Modify the onet.xml for my site definition to include an instance of the list

- Use feature stapling to enable my custom list defintion feature when a site is provisioned using my new site definition and include a list instance in the feature.

Is there another more suitable method?

Thanks,

Rob

I'm implementing the custom security trimmer for SharePoint server as outlined here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee819923.aspx

I have been able to successfully deploy the solution on to the server, but know I need to write the script that will check whether users have access to particular documents or not. The code in the walk-through is the following:

public BitArray CheckAccess(IList<String> documentCrawlUrls, IDictionary<String, Object> sessionProperties, IIdentity passedUserIdentity)
        {
            BitArray retArray = new BitArray(documentCrawlUrls.Count);
            //Use passedUserIdentity to get the identity of the user who issued the query.
            IClaimsIdentity claimsIdentity = (IClaimsIdentity)passedUserIdentity;
           //IClaimsIdentity is defined in Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims;
            for (int x = 0; x < documentCrawlUrls.Count; x++)
            {
              /*
     

I using GetVersions from the webservice http://server/_vti_bin/versions.asmx. This method works Okay in SharePoint 2007, and in SharePoint 2010 it also works Okay on documents from a document library. But when I used on an item from a custom list, it returns an error stating: "Value cannot be null.\r\nParameter name: key". In SharePoint 2007 I could retrieve the histroy on an item with the call GetVersions("Lists/MyCustomList/5_.000"), in SharePoint 2010 this fails.

Do I need to change the parameter, or use another filename for an item instead of "5_.000"? Does any one have the same experience?

Thank you

Hello,

I am creating a custom control by inheriting a server control, say LinkButton. There are properties like "BorderColor" available in LinkButton. Let's say, I don't want this particular property to be available when I create an instance of the custom control.

I want to completely hide this particular property (I don't want to override it but disable it.)

My code is as follows:

    Class MyLinkButton
        Inherits LinkButton

        'I want to hide the following method in such a way that if an object of MyLinkButton is created, the following property is not available
        Public Overrides Property BorderColor As System.Drawing.Color
            Get
                Return MyBase.BorderColor
            End Get
            Set(ByVal value As System.Drawing.Color)
                MyBase.BorderColor = value
            End Set
        End Property

    End Class

Can anyone help me with this oir provide few pointers?

I have several web services with a custom business object being used as a parameter (MyNamespace.MyBizObj).

After I create my web references that same  business object gets retyped to whatever web service that is is in Example:

webserviceRef1.MyBizObj, webserviceRef2.MyBizObj, webserviceRef3.MyBizObj

Right now my UI isn't allowing me to retype this object back to the object that I need. In essence I need one unified version of this object that I can use across web services.

using System;
using System.Text;

namespace C2
{
  class TypeSample
  {
    TypeSample(int x, int y, int z)
    {
      coordinates.x = x;
      coordinates.y = y;
      coordinates.z = z;
    }

    private struct Coordinates
    {
      public int x;
      public int y;
      public int z;
    }

    private Coordinates coordinates;

    public void AddCoordinates()
    {
      int hashCode = GetHashCode();
      lock (this)
      {
        Coordinates tempCoord;
        tempCoord.x = coordinates.x + 100;
        tempCoord.y = coordinates.y + 50;
        tempCoord.z = coordinates.z + 100;

        System.Console.WriteLine("x={0}, y={1}, z={2}", tempCoord.x, tempCoord.y, tempCoord.z);
      }
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      TypeSample sample = new TypeSample(10,5,10);
      sample.AddCoordinates();
    }
  }
}

I always get 4 methods information in method table.

Have no idea of it,  Any help will be appreciated greatly. Thank your help very much!
