Old Skool VB Trickery

Recently I had need to modify some column values in an Excel spreadsheet.

I used the following combination of the InStr and Mid functions to modify values on all rows in Sheet1.

Sub RemoveHashesFromAM()

Dim b
Dim v

Dim lresult As String

For i = 1 To 1124

If InStr(1, Sheet1.Cells(i, 16), ";#") > 0 Then

b = InStr(1, Sheet1.Cells(i, 16), ";#")
b = b + 2

Sheet1.Cells(i, 16) = Mid(Sheet1.Cells(i, 16), b)


End If

Next i

End Sub


And I used the following Replace and Trim functions as necessary

Sheet1.Cells(i, 31) = Replace(Sheet1.Cells(i, 31), ";#", " ")
Sheet1.Cells(i, 31) = Trim(Sheet1.Cells(i, 31))

Elevation nightmares

Recently I've been struggling with an all too common error in Sharepoint development:

"The operation is not valid due to the current state of the object"

Elevation of code is necessary in Sharepoint coding because, depending on the user in context at the time the application code executes, an un-elevated version of the code may or may not work. You need to have the correct rights as the user running the application code at a given point in time in order to have it execute successfully.

Up until now I'd been doing all my elevation like so:

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()

    {

        using (SPSite elevatedSite = new SPSite(siteUrl))

        {

            using (SPWeb elevatedWeb = elevatedSite.OpenWeb())

            {

                SPList elevatedList = elevatedWeb.Lists["Tasks"];

                if (elevatedList != null)

                {

                    SPListItem elevatedListItem = elevatedList.Items[0];

                    Console.WriteLine("The task is: " + elevatedListItem["Task"].ToString());

                    Console.WriteLine("The due date for the task is: " + elevatedListItem["DueDate"].ToString());

                    Console.WriteLine("The task was created by: " + elevatedListItem["Creator"].ToString());

                }

            }

        }                

    });

This code block will work flawlessly - the details of the task output to the console.

But the problem comes when I try to update the list item...

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()

    {

        using (SPSite elevatedSite = new SPSite(siteUrl))

        {

            using (SPWeb elevatedWeb = elevatedSite.OpenWeb())

            {

                SPList elevatedList = elevatedWeb.Lists["Tasks"];

                if (elevatedList != null)

                {

                    SPListItem elevatedListItem = elevatedList.Items[0];

                    Console.WriteLine("The task is: " + elevatedListItem["Task"].ToString());

                    Console.WriteLine("The due date for the task is: " + elevatedListItem["DueDate"].ToString());

                    Console.WriteLine("The task was created by: " + elevatedListItem["Creator"].ToString());

                    try

                    {

                        elevatedListItem["DueDate"] = DateTime.Now.AddDays(12).ToString();

                        try

                        {

                            elevatedWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

                            elevatedListItem.Update();

                        }

                        catch (SPException updateEx)

                        {

                            Console.WriteLine("There was an error updating the list item. " + updateEx.ToString());

                        }

                        finally

                        {

                            elevatedWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

                        }

                    }

                    catch (SPException updateFieldValueEx)

                    {

                        Console.WriteLine("Error updating field value for column 'DueDate'. " + updateFieldValueEx.ToString());

                    }

                }

            }

        }                

    });

The error will occur:
"The operation is not valid due to the current state of the object"

Basically, in short, there appears to be a bit of an issue with updating an item inside an elevated wrapper. My best guess as to the reason this is occurring is that it is due to the fact that elevation of code will not allow for updates to occur because then the update would be occuring as an elevated user and would not contain information on the user in context running the code which is of course used to update the modified by value on a list item, though I have not found any official line to support this theory.

The Solution

The solution is to rejig your code slightly and do your update outside of your elevation wrapper, like so:

// Declare list item, list and web variables outside of elevation block

SPListItem elevatedListItem = null;

SPList elevatedList = null;

SPWeb elevatedWeb = null;

// Elevate to get hold of the list item

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()

    {

        using (SPSite elevatedSite = new SPSite(siteUrl))

        {

            elevatedWeb = elevatedSite.OpenWeb();

            elevatedList = elevatedWeb.Lists["Tasks"];

            if (elevatedList != null)

            {

                elevatedListItem = elevatedList.Items[0];

            }

        }                

    });

// Do the output and update

Console.WriteLine("The task is: " + elevatedListItem["Task"].ToString());

Console.WriteLine("The due date for the task is: " + elevatedListItem["DueDate"].ToString());

Console.WriteLine("The task was created by: " + elevatedListItem["Creator"].ToString());

if (elevatedListItem != null)

{

    try

    {

        elevatedListItem["DueDate"] = DateTime.Now.AddDays(12).ToString();

        try

        {

            elevatedWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

            elevatedListItem.Update();

        }

        catch (SPException updateEx)

        {

            Console.WriteLine("There was an error updating the list item. " + updateEx.ToString());

        }

        finally

        {

            elevatedWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;                                           

        }

    }

    catch (SPException updateFieldValueEx)

    {

        Console.WriteLine("Error updating field value for column 'DueDate'. " + updateFieldValueEx.ToString());

    }

}

That should do it! There should be no more operation is invalid error.

AJAX call within the same page

There is a way you can trick the code behind on an aspx page into believing it's a web service.

Example

First set up your code behind like so:


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.Services;

namespace PostAuthenticateRequestModule
{
public class SignOut : Page
{

[WebMethod]
public static string GetServerTime()
{
return DateTime.Now.ToString();
}
}
}

And then your ASPX page goes something like this:

ASP.NET 2.0 ObjectDataSource Madness

Ok so after several days and nights of torment, I have learnt quite a lot about GridView controls and binding (or not, as the case may be) to them.


You thought with .NET 2.0 that all your data binding woes had been answered. Oh how very wrong you were, you poor, poor developer (emphasis on poor; these are hard times, what with house prices soaring and whatnot).

It is true to say that you can use an ObjectDataSource in conjunction with a GridView control to present data to the user in a nice tabular format, though you are not likely to achieve this without a) pain b) coffee and c) (in extreme cases) a near-death experience.

Here are some brief and scattered notes on my experiences whilst attempting to use Object Data Sources:

- Update methods can get easily out of synch. There is a hack-around/fix for this - use the ODS 'OnUpdating' method, like so:

//protected void DtypesODS_Updating(object source, ObjectDataSourceMethodEventArgs e)
{
// Modify input parameters because ODS is too dumb to figure it out.
if (e.InputParameters.Contains("DType"))
e.InputParameters.Remove("DType");
}

And obviously add a ref to that in your aspx, or initialise the event by overriding OnInit.

[More to come.]

Using A Class From A Seperate Assembly With An ObjectDataSource

First, add a reference to the assembly at the top of the page:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="MyAssembly" Namespace="MyAssembly.Data" Assembly="MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=zj1251fcc32b5cg6" %>

Now set the ObjectDataSource's "TypeName" property to the specific class:

TypeName="MyAssembly.Data.MyDataClass"

Now right click on the object data source in design view and select 'Configure Data Source' and you'll see the methods on your class to choose from.

ASP.NET 2.0 - Some Basic Things To Remember

- When you want to use simple binding with no evaluation:

# Bind("MyFieldName")

- When you want to use evaluation, for example a value against a protected method, use:

# IsLead(Eval("Lead"))

Code behind:
protected string IsLead(object val)
{
if (val.ToString() == "True")
return "Yes";
else
return String.Empty;
}

Sharepoint rollup web parts

I've recently been working with Sharepoint 2007 on a large scale project. A common requirement for many Sharepoint-enabled web portals is to create what is termed as a 'rollup' of data. In a nutshell, this entails the amalgamation of one or more Sharepoint 'Lists' - e.g. Tasks, Shared Documents, etc. But not simply an amalgamation of that data on one level - For if, as is commonly the case, you have set up sub-sites underneath your top level site, then you'll want to collect data from the lists within those sites too. The term associated with this bundling of site and sub-sites' data is known as a rollup.

One of the requirements for the portal I've been working on was to create a rollup webpart of all the Tasks lists across the entire site collection. Using VS.NET, I created the following WebPart-derived class and deployed it to the Sharepoint server.

A Fairly Painless Way To Combine Dataset Data

foreach (DataRow dr in ds2.Tables[1].Rows)
{
object[] vals = dr.ItemArray;
ds.Tables[1].Rows.Add(vals);
}

ItemArray is key.

Using Resource Files

Recently, I had a case to use an XML embedded resource file. After adding the following XML file to the solution and setting its 'Build Action' property to 'Embedded Resource'...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Config>
    <VariablefileName>../Projects/RealEstatePostcard/PostCard.xvp</VariablefileName>
    <ProjectFileForVariableEvaluation>../Projects/RealEstatePostcard/PostCard.pf</ProjectFileForVariableEvaluation>
    <JobForVariableEvaluation>PDF_Job</JobForVariableEvaluation>
    <ShowScrollBars>Yes</ShowScrollBars>
    <BevelThickness>1</BevelThickness>
    <BevelThicknessInset>3</BevelThicknessInset>
    <BevelColorInset>lightGray</BevelColorInset>
    <BevelColorTopLeft>lightGray</BevelColorTopLeft>
    <BevelColorBottomRight>darkGray</BevelColorBottomRight>
    <uiConfiguration> PanelPostCardConfig.xml</uiConfiguration>
    <EditImage>Edit Image: Crop and Scale Your Image</EditImage>
    <bitmapUpdateMethod>xor</bitmapUpdateMethod>
</Config>

I grabbed a hold of it and set its contents against relevant public property names within my class. Like so:

private void LoadConfigValues()
        {
            // Create a new XmlDocument object and select the appropriate values.          
           
            // Reference the running assembly.
            Assembly thisAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
       
            Stream oStrRead = thisAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Burrows.PageFlex.WYSIWYG.Config.Configuration.xml");
           

            XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();

            try
            {               
                xDoc.Load(oStrRead);
            }
            catch (IOException ioEx)
            {
                throw ioEx;
            }
            finally
            {               
                oStrRead.Close();
                oStrRead.Dispose();
            }

            // Loop through doc nodes and assign values to public properties.
            XmlNodeList oNodeList = xDoc.SelectNodes("//Config/*");
            foreach (XmlNode xN in oNodeList)
            {
                switch (xN.Name)
                {
                    case "VariablefileName":
                        this.strVariableFileName = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "ProjectFileForVariableEvaluation":
                        this.strProjectFileForVariableEvaluation = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "JobForVariableEvaluation":
                        this.strJobForVariableEvaluation = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "ShowScrollBars":
                        this.strShowScrollBars = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "BevelThickness":
                        this.strBevelThickness = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "BevelThicknessInset":
                        this.strBevelThicknessInset = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "BevelColorInset":
                        this.strBevelColorInset = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "BevelColorTopLeft":
                        this.strBevelColorTopLeft = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "BevelColorBottomRight":
                        this.strBevelColorBottomRight = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "uiConfiguration":
                        this.strUiConfiguration = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "EditImage":
                        this.strEditImage = xN.InnerText;
                        break;
                    case "bitmapUpdateMethod":
                        this.strBitmapUpdateMethod = xN.InnerText ;
                        break;
                    default:
                        break;
                };
            }          
        }
