Some AD attributes unavailable for User Property mappings?

Hi,

I have a User Control (ascx) and a property which a want to display in my categories tab in Visual Studio in the category named "Styles".

[Category("Styles"), DefaultValue(""), Description("The value for formating something.")]
public String MyFormatProperty
{
  set { /* the code for set */; }
  get { /* the code for get */; }
}

And here is the problem: Actually I do not need a get, because I only have to set the property (write only property). But when I omit the get, the property is displayed in the "Misc" category in the categories tab in Visual Studio. Only when I code the get as well, then the property is displayed correctly in the "Styles" category in the categories tab in Visual Studio.

Does anybody know why? How can I display the category correctly only with set?

Thanks, S.

I created a user control (.ascx) that contains a paging-user-control, a repeater and some other controls.
I want to use the property DataSourceID. How should I get the data from the datasource and when?
What is the recommended way?

I did it this way:
- Create a method to get the data by reflection, like:
 

private void PerformSelect()
{
	if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(this.DataSourceID))
	{
		Control control = Page.FindControl(this.DataSourceID);
		if (control == null)
			control = Parent.FindControl(this.DataSourceID);

		MethodInfo method = control.GetType().GetMethod("Select");
		IEnumerable data = (IEnumerable)method.Invoke(control, new object[0]);

		this.DataSource = data;
		this.DataBind();
	}
}

I think that way is not the optimum, is there any better way?
Do you have any suggestions or links?

Thanks for your help, Andreas

I have a composite control (Called Dialog) which has a property "ContentControl"

At design time, I'd like this property to bind to a user control that is on the page.

When I add the items in the designer, the designer loads as expected.

However, when I try to run the web page, I get the following error:

Parser Error Message: Cannot create an object of type 'System.Web.UI.UserControl' from its string representation 'EditTerm1' for the 'ContentControl' property.

Please let me know if there is another way to bind a user control as a property of a composite control.

Thanks.

Hi ,

I have created a custom user property,and created metadata property and added mapping to it, still i m not able to Search in People,Please advise

I have inadvertently deleted the user profile property SPS-PhoneticDisplayName which means that users now get an error when trying to view their profile as the page tries to use this field. With cutom errors turned off in the web config file the message states  that the property must be created by an administrator using the profile administration tool.

When I try to re-create the property I get the following error Invalid Property name. Please enter a property name that matches the specification of URI schema name (RFC2396), which must begin with a letter, and must contain only letters, digits, and the characters ".", "+", or "-".

The property name appears to meet these requirements but it still fails. (if I remove the '-' from the name the property is created)

anyone know how I can recover the SPS-PhoneticDisplayName property?

Hi,

I created an asp.net user control with a property named 'TabList' , the property is visible when I place my control on a page, the default editor for this property was a simple text box, but I needed a DropDownList for editing the TabList property of my control, so I added following code to implement it:

<Category("Navigation Bar"), Editor(GetType(DropDownList), GetType(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor)), Description("List of Tabs"), DefaultValue("SHISHIR WAHI")> Public Property TabList() As String
        Get
            Return _tablist
        End Get

        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _tablist = value
        End Set
    End Property

The Category() and DefaultValue() are working fine but Editor() and Description() are not, what could be the problem?

Please help.

I am trying to add a user profile property, when I tried to map this field to a AD attribute, I realized not all the attributes are exposed. Is there anything I might be missing in SP, or something I have to setup in AD?

Please advice, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have problem with the Profile Synchronization in SharePoint 2010.

I have made a connection to our Active Directory and the Synchronization of profiles is working like a charm but when I try to map User Properties to attributes in our AD I can't see the custom attributes we made in the AD. The attributes are added to the AD after the initial connection and synchronization was made. 

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
