Querying a SharePoint List: Creating a Report Parameter based on a SharePoint List field

Hello! Hopefully a quick question for you gurus :) So, I have two relevant fields in my InfoPath 2007 form: A drop-down list called Contact Name, and a text field called Contact Phone Number.  Contact Name is populated through a SharePoint Contacts List, retrieving their Full Name from that list. What I'd love to have happen is, when the user selects a name from the Contact Name list, have the form auto-populate the Contact Phone Number based on the phone number of the selected name from the SharePoint Contacts List. I tried to set a rule in Contact Name to, when the field is Not Blank, populate the Contact Phone Number with the phone number from the Contacts List, but all that does is populate the field with the top-most phone number, not the one matching the selected name. Any way to do this more accurately, and preferably without custom code? (Client has an explicit requirement to not have any custom code on the form or its associated workflow)   Thank you so much!

Hello Everybody!

I have a repeating list that seems like that

List 1

Title    Number

=========

A        10

B        11

A        11

B        9

 

I need to create a list with a field that contains each different titles from list 1 (A + B) and another column with the sum of the numbers associated with A or B in list 1.

List 2

Title     Number

==========

A         21

B         20

 

My problem is that I don't know which method using to do that.

Calculated field can only use list field (not external list), infopath can get this but I don't know how to do it.

I wanted to know if someone has an issue other than developing. Because my client doesn't want to pay for a development.

Thank you very much!!!!

 

Hi experts,

I created a sharepoint list instance in visual studio 2010 with English field names and not-english display-names.

when I deploy the solution and browse to the list I get non-readable field names. I tried to add
"xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" "
to the schema.xml file but didn't change anything. any clue?

Search and Destroy,,,

Usually we do this by performing the action under RunWithElevatedPrivileges method and updating the listitem using SPListItem.SystemUpdate() method (see here). but this approach has its own flaws like (RunWithElevatedPrivileges will run under system account, we cannot use SystemUpdate for SPSite,SPWeb,SPList, since it runs under system we will "CreatedBy" by as SystemAccount).

Hi,

I have 1 dropdown in my sharepoint list with other columns. If dropdown value equal to 'xyz' i need to display some other controls, otherwise these controls should be hidden.

I know we can achieve this with javascript. If any one can provide code or sample then it will be appreciated. or is there any other alternative methods to do this ........

Learn to use Visual Studio 2008 Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services to create a SharePoint list definition that implements custom list columns.

SharePoint supports the ability to create Excel-like field validation formulas to validate field data in a list, which greatly reduces the amount of custom code that a developer must create and deploy. (Length: 1:44)

My infopath form used to read these email addresses from a web service and web.config file. Now i would like to get these user email addresses from a contact list in a sharepoint server. I am trying to do this without writing any codes. Here is what i have done so far: 1. Adding a new "data connection to receive data from SharePoint library or List" where i selected Email Address column of the contact list. 2. I added a new Text Field and define a new rule with "Query using a data connection" defined above. When i try to access the newly created Text field above it always return empty as if the Query attached to it did not executed at all. What did i do wrong? Is there a better way? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, I want to read the data from BLOB field and write it into sharepoint list item. Please provide some pointer to archive above objective.   Thanks in Advance.

I cannot get SQL Reporting Services 2008 R2 to work with a datasource that is a sharepoint list.  Reporting services seems to work fine setup in SharePoint 2010 Integrated mode. When I try and run a report that is based on a sharepoint list, I immediatly get the following error: The report execution tp15sp4515l3seqqo4do3e45 has expired or cannot be found. (rsExecutionNotFound) This seems to be something I am doing wrong with the sharepoint configuration, I would guess.  I haven't tried a regular database query, but they used to work when reporting services was configured for native mode.  So I assume this is just a problem connecting to sharepoint 2010 lists, with the new SharePoint 2010 List connection type. Edit This has got to have something to do with a permission setting for the app pool account of sharepoint.  I read something once where it said you had to grant it permissions, but every guide I've found since then doesn't mention anything about it. This log entry is where the problem seems to be occuring, I just don't know what permissions to give TESTDOMAIN\spweb which is the app pool account. library!ReportServer_0-3!1bdc!09/01/2010-09:58:03:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ReportServerStorageException: , An error occurred within the report server database.  This may be due to a connection failure, tim

In terms of high-level requirements, I need to pull in lists from a couple of different web apps.  To do this, I’m using SPD 2010 to create an External Content Type for the list of interest.  I’m able to create a SOAP Service or WCF Service connection just fine.  However, when I try to create the external content type and create a Read Item Operation on one of the GetList or any other Get* (or other Update methods for that matter) methods, I get the following error:"The method that your operation is based on has parameters with complex types that do not have default parameterless constructor.  This kind of data source methods cannot be used in Business Data Catalog."I tried defining an operation on the “AddAttachment” method, and that worked just fine.  I also tried providing default values to the listName and viewName parameters when creating the SOAP Service connection, but still get the error.  Same issue with a WCF Service connection as well. Does anyone know if this is a 2010 issue, or am I approaching this requirement incorrectly?  What are other approaches for connecting to lists that reside in a different web app than yours?

Hello, I am querying a SharePoint 2007 list which contains 7000 folders and 25000 items. My application always query a minor subset of this data. (we don't query large data sets). but still I get timeouts in the webservice call to extract the elements. Can you please give me some guidance on how to resolve this timeout issue? My list may be big, but I am querying only small volume of data.

I'm developing a Reporting Services 2005 report that includes a Hierarchy field from a SharePoint 2007 list.  The Data Source for the report is an XML type. I would like to display the Hierarchy field on 1 line.  However, it is displaying in 2 or more lines. The field also wraps when rendering to Acrobat (PDF) file.  How can I get rid of the embedded line feed (I believe it's "&#xA").  I've tried using the Replace function in an expression, other functions and changed the properties, e.g., the CanGrow property.  Nothing seems to work. Does anybody have any suggestions?  Thanks.
