Displaying the AssignedTo Field Value using the Client Object Model

Hi, I am using Client Object Model to get all items from a list and display theme with "Modified By" information. Everything works nice until I start using test users. I have noticed that for user who is in Domain Admins group i have no problem for others I cannot read "modiefied by" field value. var context = ClientContext.Current; activitySPList = context.Site.RootWeb.Lists.GetByTitle("Activities") activityItems = activitySPList.GetItems(CamlQuery.CreateAllItemsQuery()); context.Load(activityItems); context.ExecuteQueryAsync( ClientRequestSucceeded, ClientRequestFailed ); All items in activityItems collection doesn't have "Modified By" fields. Do you know why and how to fix it? Thanks for your help.

Hello, I need to modify formula for existing field and can't do it because this code raise exception - (Cannot cast 'fld' (which has an actual type of 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Field') to 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldCalculated').   using (var clientContext = new ClientContext(@"http://Server")) { var web = clientContext.Web; var lst = web.Lists.GetByTitle("MyList"); <strong>var fld = (FieldCalculated)lst.Fields.GetByInternalNameOrTitle("Formula1");</strong> clientContext.Load(fld); clientContext.ExecuteQuery(); }   I can't use fld.SchemaXml modification by some reason. May be you can help me? Thank you.

I am working on the project that is based on Client Object Model which should be able to create/update document sets form client side with possibility to fully manage column values. I've managed so far to manipulate from client most of field values but i'm still struggling with managed metadata fields. I know that there isn't any support for this type of field in CSOM so I used TaxonomyClientService which is available from server side and managed to retrieve data necessary for displaying field info. I also discovered that value for this field should be assigned in string form like [WssId]#[TermName]|[TermGUID] to be valid. My problem is how to retrieve WssId. I know it can be found in TaxonomyHiddenList of site collection but since it contains only values that were used in site collection so far it doesn't represent full solution for my problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance..

Hi,

I am having an issue when trying to add a field to the web.AvailableFields.  I am using web.AvailableFields.AddFieldAsXml(...)  but it seem that you need to associate the field with a list.  Is it not possible to add a field to the site collection columns using the client object model?

What I am doing is creating a content type and then adding fields to this content type, if the fields dont exist I what to create them but an having a problem doing so.

Thanks,

 

I have a problem assinging External column value to ListItem object with client object model-based application I'm developing. To be precise, I am able to retrieve data related to external content type by reading external list created from this content type but I don't know how to properly use it to assign value to this field. By doing some research on my own I concluded that BDC ID column from external list is the way to go since it uniquely defines selected row from external list but that doesn't tell me much since I don't know what to do with it. Currently I ended up with partial solution - to assign plain string value of picker column but that makes this value visible only in "View Properties" option on Sharepoint and not in "Edit Properties" which pritty much makes sence since it isn't properly related to rest of the data in specific row. Does someone have a better solution for this?

Are you creating client applications that access SharePoint data remotely? Find overviews, guidelines, and programming tasks for all three flavors of the SharePoint Foundation client object model: .NET managed, Silverlight, and ECMAScript.

Learn how to create a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application that uses the SharePoint 2010 client object model to retrieve data from a SharePoint Web site.

Write client-side applications that work with Open XML documents that are stored in document libraries by using these two technologies together.

Write applications that are based on the .NET Framework and access SharePoint content from clients without installing code on the server that runs SharePoint Foundation 2010.

In SharePoint 2010 there are a number of object models that can be used by developers to access the server. For example, the Client Object Model (Client OM) can be accessed via Web services, via a client (JavaScript) API, and via REST. (Length: 12:22)

  Sorry for my bad english. With WPF, I can get authentication using below code             ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("URL");             clientContext.AuthenticationMode = ClientAuthenticationMode.Default;             NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("ID", "PASSWORD", "URL");             clientContext.Credentials = credential; But with silverlight, I can't find AuthenticationMode property with ClientContext.   I want to get authentication using client object model with silverlight. Can anybody help me?   thanks!!   

Hello, I am looking for where in the SP Client Object Model that I would find where the View Definitions are Located. For various reasons, I am displaying in my own custom listview a list of Documents and I would like these list results to share the same look as if the user was looking at the list in SharePoint.Please note this is NOT web based, but an application. Can someone give me a hint as to how to pull a view definition? Thanks, Andrew
