Great item! Only just discovered it!

Any chance of getting the images back after the server blow-out?

Thanks

Hi Todd, nice to have you back. Is there any chance you will be posting your missing posts?

I could really use your post from July 7th (2006) entitled which talked about creating a VSTO document and integrating with MOSS 2007.

I only caught it on a google cached page, and I can't download the application you created (www.sharepointblogs.com/.../entry8175.aspx) or visualize any images.

Thanks for your help and your work.

Cheers

Download link is broken.

I Todd, I sent you an e-mail with all the information I had on the mentioned post.

Thanks once again.

Best regards

Todd - Excellent information! Thanks for compiling it for everyone--it will save a lot of people a lot of time.

I would like to mention one caveat. Although when you create a new Publishing Portal, all new sub sites are of type "Publishing Portal with Workflow", by default. This can be changed to allow most any template in the "Page layouts and Site Template Settings."

I'm looking for something similar to this post, but not really.

I'm trying to create different dashboards per department and tailoring each to their specific needs. I haven't found examples of different sites yet though, only webparts and so on.

Are you sure these instructions are accurate?  When I follow these steps, it keeps pointing to the newsbweb.aspx file.

The below given URL is broken.

So I am unable to download the zip file package. Can you please help on this?

Hi,

I am trying out your example and others too. SPD recognizes the custom activity, but it is not displaying the Fields specified in Rule Designer, not even the sentence.

Do you know whats the issue is ?  

ahh, I am sorry restarted SPD and it worked

I have a question about sharepoint Services 3.0. I installed one of the Microsoft Templates. So far it went fine, however I want it to be set so anonymous users can view the site. I did set anonymous access for site in the Administration Site. I also set anonymous access on the Top Level site. But when I created a sub site off the main site using Application Templates, I was able to set anonymous access it does not work. Is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

I am trying out your example

I am able to view the custom activity in my Sharepoint designer actions list

but after clicking on it nothing happens.

Can u plz help me?

Now with .NetFrameWork 2.0 developing connectable web parts has become much simpler. I need not override 8-9 methods as it was in WSS 2.0. I just need to implement the IWebPart field interface and override 3-4 methods each containing 2-3 lines. Moreover in WSS 2.0 if I had to develop a CellProvider and a FilterProvider it was a nightmare where as in this case its much simpler.

Hi Todd,

you can read the lookup values with the Helper.ProcessStringField Method. Take a look at this article msdn2.microsoft.com/.../aa979694.aspx

This looks like a great solution- nice work!  

Being new to SharePoint, though, I wonder if anybody could be so kind as to provide a little bit more guidance on deploying the web part.  I realize that's fairly well-covered ground, but it seems like different downloadable web parts have different methods of installation.

So-

I copy your code to a text file and save it as????

Create a dwp file?  (How???)

Something about strong name encrpytion code?  STSadmin?

I hate asking so many questions, but I want to have a good idea of exactly what I am asking our administrator to do before I ask them to do it.

Thanks,

Very good blog. I tried this with a normal document. Unfortunately I get HRESULT 0x80131418 "file or assembly ... not found" when opening it, although the DeployManifestPath is correct. I think I must give up ...

It seems it were security reasons. So Step 9 seems to be necessary at a local computer, too.

When I save a new Document to the SP Doclib, SP automatically refresh the screen and show the new document. Do you know what the mechanism behind it ? I'm trying to duplicate it in the VSTO code.

Thanks for this article,

helped me work out how to programmatically generate my custom sites. Important to note that in the template section you need to add 'templatefilename.stp' instead of the 'STS#0' if its a custom template.

Thilakka, Microsoft outlook can do this - you create a resource and you can add it to meetings and it is recurseively rebooked isn't it? perhaps you could tap into that somehow.

Thanks,

I want to add another field to the listtemplate, so I would have list title, list description, and a lookup field, this is for the list not items in a list.

I have tried to find this in the elements listtemplate for the lists xml and can;t find anything.

Do  you know how to add another field that is actually a lookup for the listtemplate

I'm trying to do the same thing as Judy.

I would like to add a lookup column. Any clue?

Thanks

I am not getting a "sample" category as indicated in number 10 of the instructions.  I have SharePoint Designer 2007, is there an additional installation option I missed?

"Architect" is a noun, not a verb.  Therefore, "architecting" is not a word.

Hey Meemers, While you may be gramatically correct, your feedback provides little value to the dialog.

Hi Todd,

We need to access the BDC via web service and came across this post, but the link to the code is dead.  Any chance you could re-post it or send it to me in an email bbolleman [at] colligo.com?

Hi

Thanks for a nice article. Just one question: supposing i have a VSTO Document Template in WSS secured by Forms Authentication, and the logged-in user opens the document template in word, will the sharepoint user credentials get passed on to word?

And how to get the User details, so that we can do some user role specific action-pane stuff like say display or lock word sections for some user roles.

Kind Regards

I was trying to create a template file which is a Microsoft Excel 2003 document and created a directory named "Forms" (thinking since it was a form that we use) and I was going to attempt to assign this form as the template for that directory.

I have found a number of issues with this:

"Form" is reserved for WSS (that's what we use).  There is no stopping from anyone creating this, but you sure aren't ever going to delete it!

You cannot create a template for a specific directory, only for the entire "Document Library" which means even those subdirectories use the same template.  (I use the term directory because of our old DOS days, and I hate the term "Folder).

You are limited to only one template in a document library, but isn't a "LIBRARY" supposed to contain many different types of information?  Since when have you gone to a library and only seen magazines but not books???  Or books but no shelves for them to be organized on?

Microsoft is really limiting business to their standards and I really wish we could "stretch our arms" or at least organize the way the company has been for the past 19 years, which I must say, seems better than conforming to Microsoft's version of business.  (Watch "Pirates of Silicon Valley")

Hi Todd,

Nice post!

Will there be any issues if I just used vmware player to convert the MS virtual PC environment?

Hi, the above is brilliantly succint but how do I put the information that makes the list feature appear as default on my new site within a feature itself (such as TeamCollab - that references other features) rather than hard coding this into the site definition onet.xml?

Hi Todd Baginski,

THis article is really nice. Right now I have different requirement.

I want to add a menu item in sharepoint 2007. If you open the sharepoint home page you can see the webparts available there. If you click document library link it will take you to the respective page. There you can see list of documents under related documents. If you click any document it will show a combobox with options as view properties, edit properties, manage permissions, edit in Microsoft office word, delete, sent to option as other location, e-mail a link, create document workspace, and download a copy. Here in this send to menu I want to add another item called Fax. I want to do this in C# 2.0. Should I create web application or website for this? How to do this? Please help me.

Have you read sharepointstudio.blogspot.com/.../document-library-template-selector.html   It tells how to setup multiple selections

Wow, what a gift to the sharepoint admins out there... this is great stuff Todd, thanks again for the tool and we'll be keeping an eye on the good things you'll be doing in the future!

Warm Regards,

Matthew Workman.

Thanx for getting this online so quick!  This is sure to become an often used tool in my arsenal!

I started off by trying out Veli-Matti Vanamo's Introduction to Web Part Development presentation

Your presentation on your toolset was one of the best of any conference I've been to: few slides, all code.  Much in line with the "No Fluff, Just Stuff" conference (except they're 90% Java...)

Thanks!

Well, today was already scheduled to be a short day, but between a VPC failure (seems to be a common

either my MOSS isnt working properly or that stp isnt! cant get it to run. Comes up with "The template you have chosen is invalid or cannot be found. ", pretty sure i uploaded and used sso as the url

Thanks Todd, your sessions were really good.

Todd,

Glad we had a chance to chit chat.  Thanks for posting this resource.  I will definitely add it to my MOSS Resource Links.

Mark

Todd,

Great Stuff.  Thanks again for your sessions, best of the conference by far.  It was a pleasure speaking with you on Thursday, along with the gentleman from NYC, loved his accent.

I hope you go to the Roller Coaster prior to departing Vegas!

Todd,

Thanks for your presentations, they were most excellent.  

Aloha

Fantastic series of posts, very very helpful. When I went to add the view of the custom document library to my site I got hung up for a long time though, as the post reads:

"<View List="$Resources:core,lists_Folder;/Custom Document Library" BaseViewID="0" WebPartZoneID="Left" WebPartOrder="3" />"

But actually it should be:

"<View List="Custom Document Library" BaseViewID="0" WebPartZoneID="Left" WebPartOrder="3" />"

Otherwise fantastic, thanks very much

Hi,  The Rar file , which contains all the code to replicate your demo, is a dead hyperlink. Please could you kindly repost, Many Thanks,

Todd,

how can i find out which template was used when a site was created?

Rich,

Actually, the inaccurate part is where the list is being created.  It should be:

<List

URL="$Resources:core,lists_Folder;/Custom Document Library" />

Accepted practice is to put lists in a Lists folder, thus:

portal/.../CustomDocumentLibrary

instead of

portal/CustomDocumentLibrary

Todd, thanks for the great article and tool.

Question: does this solution apply to excel VSTO workbooks as well? Any red flags there? Thanks in advance for any info!!

I am stuck at the last step. When I start the workflow, I get an "Error occurred" instead of "Completed. Any idea how to debug it?

Thanks.,

I was able to do my setup just like you described except that I published to a website instead of a share. I ran into an issue where if the user tried to run my template by getting it from sharepoint that the install would not run the setup to load the pre-requisites. If the user went to the URL to install the template the pre-requesites got loaded.

Do you have any ideas of why the pre-requesites would not get installed if I open the document from SharePoint?

i am gettting the following error.

Failed to activate site-scoped features for template 'SAMPLE#0' in site http://mysite/custom/

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

please help me out.

for other templates,

For anyone copying and pasting code above, remember to dispose of the SPSite and SPWeb objects.

If I have Publishing web under Publishing site, anonymous works great for father (site) and still brings auth dialog for son (web). For other templates, like Team, it works without issues

Creating unique permissions for the child site and setting anonymous settings to true for the child site also doesn’t work.

If I have already form library. Can I use this solution with created form library? ...

Or I must create new site from new features.
