I try to instantiate an instance of SPSite on the farm server in a custom process (MyApp.exe) and I give it as parameter the whole URI ( http://mysite:80/ ). I also made sure that the account running MyApp.exe is Site Collection Administrator . However, I can't make an instance of SPSite whatever I am trying to do. It always throws a FileNotFoundException . Anyone got an idea? StackTrace: at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite..ctor(SPFarm farm, Uri requestUri, Boolean contextSite, SPUserToken userToken) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite..ctor(String requestUrl) at MyCompanyName.Service.HelperClass

I've written a WCF service which tries to read the list items from a particular list in SharePoint. For testing purposes I run the WCF service using Visual Studio ASP.Net Development server. I pass the Site ID to the web service and from the web service I try to open the List and read the items. But when I try to read the items I'm getting the following error - This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database. To connect this server to the server farm, use the SharePoint

I have a SPView object that contains a lot of SPListItem objects (there are many fields in the view). I am only interested in one of these fields. Let's call it specialField Given that view and specialField, I want to know if a value is contained in specialField. Here is a way of doing what I want to do : String specialField = "Special Field"; String specialValue = "value"; SPList list = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Lists["My List"]; SPView view = list.Views["My View"]; //This is the view I want to query SPQuery query = new SPQuery(); query.Query = view.Query; SPListItemCollection items =

I've had success using VBA in Excel to map a drive to extranet SharePoint to download files, however in deployment it works in one location but not another (different environments possible). I'm curious if anyone has any insight as to what user or system setting would cause this. In the code below I try to map the drive to SharePoint, if it errors out the handler creates a new instance of excel and saves it to the SharePoint site. By nature this forces IE to open and prompt the user for their login details, once submitted it authenticates them and uploads the file. They are then able to map

With WSSv2 (SharePoint 2003) you could get the version of SharePoint you were working with e.g. SPGloablAdmin.Version gives you "12.0.0.6219" for WSSv3 SP1 However its now obsolete (although still works). Does anyone know the WSSv3 (SharePoint 2007) equivalent? You have things like SPWebService.ContentService.Version but that version number is just a timestamp and doesn't seem to relate back to build versions. SPFarm.Local.BuildVersion would probably give you the same result without having to refer to a SPWebService. Cheers :) SPWebService.ContentService.Farm.BuildVersion http://msdn.microsoft

I'm putting asp server-controls into my SharePoint XSLT using SharePoint Designer. I've found it's really handy for pre-populating values into the form, or providing a different experience than the SharePoint defined layout (hidden fields, etc). For example, I can use a asp:TextBox control instead of the SharePoint:FormField control if I define it as such: <xsl:stylesheet ... xmlns:ddwrt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebParts/v2/DataView/runtime"> <xsl:param name="Name" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <!-- omitted for clarity --> <asp:TextBox id="txtName" runat="server" Text="{$Name}" __designer

I would like to display certain meta data fields in the edit form based on the value of a fields. Example: Users upload a document to the Doclib to be approved by there manager. They are allowed to change the meta data Name,Case No, Location until the item is approved by the manager. Once the item is approved I would like to set Name and Case Number to read only. What is the best way to meet this requirement? If approved = yes set Name and Case No = Read only Else do nothing. I have tried this method for about 5 hours. I believed this may be different for ModerationStatus. Might require
