Setting the default value to taxonomy column in sharepoint 2010 using client object model

I am creating a metadata column and I want to set its default value in sharepoint 2010 using client object model. Can anyone help me?
My code for creating metadata column is as below:
            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
            Web site = clientContext.Web;
            List list = site.Lists.GetByTitle("LibraryName");
            FieldCollection collField = list.Fields;
            string fieldSchema = "<Field Type='TaxonomyFieldType' DisplayName='SoftwareColumn' Name='SoftwareColumn' />";
            collField.AddFieldAsXml(fieldSchema, true, AddFieldOptions.DefaultValue);
            //oneField.DefaultValue = "ASP.NET|4c984b91-b308-4884-b1f1-aee5d7ed58b2"; // wssId[0].ToString() + ";#" + term.Name + "|" + term.Id.ToString().ToLower();
            clientContext.Load(collField);

Hi,
Please try the code like this:
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://yoursite/");
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("List1_mmsfield");

How to activate Custom Feature in SharePoint 2010 using Client Object model

I am trying to Activate a custom feature using Client Object Model in SharePoint 2010. Here is the code I used. When I execute the code, I got the error "Feature with Id 'xx' is not installed in this farm, and cannot be added to this scope while
creating site collection". Can anyone help?
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(spURL);
//GUID of the custom feature
Guid districtFeatureId = new Guid("5b3529de-5045-46da-af87-8d2e32c121a7");
Site clientSite = clientContext.Site;
FeatureCollection clientSiteFeatures = clientSite.Features;
clientContext.Load(clientSiteFeatures);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Activate the feature
clientSiteFeatures.Add(districtFeatureId, false, FeatureDefinitionScope.Site);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Hi shil chan,
When you activate a feature on the site collection, the feature should be scoped to site or farm, the error message shows it cannot find the specific feature, this will happen when you have a feature in web
scope or the feature isn’t installed.
So, to troubleshooting this issue:
Verify whether the feature is scoped to web. Please go to
Site Setting->Site Features . If the feature is a web scope feature, then add the feature to webfeatures.
Make sure the feature is installed correctly.
Please inform me freely if you have any questions.
Thanks

Assigning External content type field column value using Client Object Model

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?
Igor S.

I think I understand your problem.
In my example I have an external data column "Beneficiary Name", using a Beneficiary external content type (accessing a table of beneficiaries in a SQL table).
I want to set the "Beneficiary Name" property using the client object model. I know the name of the beneficiary but not the ID value.
It is a fairly simple solution. You just need to identify the name of the property SharePoint assigns to the ID field, in my case it is called "Beneficiary_ID". Then set the two properties as follows:
thisItem["Beneficiary_Name"] = "Charitable Trust";
thisItem["Beneficiary_ID"] = -1;
thisItem.Update();
Setting the ID property to -1 causes the server to do an automatic lookup for the ID from the value assigned to the item.

Custom content type and choice field

Hi,
I try to create costum content type in visual studio, and I want to add choice field to this content type, but I didn't found, how can I programmatically fill choice datasource
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,

I've only done this one but I seem to recall packaging these up as XML as normal columns and sompl referenced them in the Content type definition. Having had a quick look on the inertubes for a refresher, I think this might point you in the right direction.

How to Set Item limit for Picture library Slideshow webpart in SharePoint 2013

Picture library Slideshow webpart is using the default view "All Pictures" and if I set a filter condition in the view, the images are displaying based on it but if I set an Item limit as "5" or any number in the "All Pictures"
view it is not reflecting in the slideshow webpart.
Any suggestion would be a great help as the users want to see only the latest 5 images in the slideshow webpart.
Thanks & regards,
Asha

I don't think so there is any way to set a item count limit on Picture Library Slideshow web wart.
Web Part setting only allows to provide library and View, In List view also you can only set Item Limit to be shown on the 'List View'. Slideshow web part take all the items in the list and show, view is only used to provide which field needs to be shown.
There could be 2 options:
- Write a JavaScript to limit the count, and in the view add Sorting by 'Created' date. You can get some example on how to modify "Library Slideshow web part" javascript here: http://blog.vgrem.com/2013/04/27/beyond-the-slideshow-web-part-capabilities-in-sharepoint-2010/
This link does not have solution of what you want, but it gives a very well idea on what you can look and modify. It will not be that straight forward for sure.
- Create a custom webpart, it could be a easier approach. As there are many slideshow Javascript library present, and through code you will just need do a query and pull data from library with required number of items to be shown.

Hi,
To copy files from one site collection to another site collection, the simplest way is to open document library in windows explorer view.
Go to document library, click library tab, click open with explorer.
You can open the document library1 in explorer then copy the files which you want to paste to another site collection
document library2, then open the document library2 in explorer to paste the documents.
Besides, there are other method:

Required field in custom content type not required in custom list instance

I have an issue with a custom SharePoint 2013 solution. Among other components, it consists of:
a feature with several custom fields with different types, some of which are taxonomy fields,
a feature with three custom content types using different sets of the custom fields with partially different configuration, e.g. whether they are required or not,
a feature with a custom document library template and instance using two of the custom content types and a default picture library that is programmatically customized when the feature is activated, e.g. it is assigned the third custom content type.
When deploying the solution and activating the feature, everything is set up correctly except a single taxonomy field for one of the doc lib's content types. It is defined to be required in both content types but indeed it does not show up as required for
the default content type whereas everything works fine for the other. And it does not matter which of the two custom content types is defined first (= default) in the list template's schema.xml, the issue always occurs for the same taxonomy field in the doc
lib's default content type. When I use the built-in Document content type as default, the field is required for both custom content types. However, using the Document content type is not an option.
If you think this behavior is not strange enough: When the list content type's field is set required through the SharePoint UI, it becomes optional again when the list column is updated, e.g. its display name is changed.
Any ideas?

Select option "Show this View : in Folder of Content type : {Custom Content Type Name}" while creating view using CSOM

Hi,
I am trying to create "View" in a Document Library and need to enable following:
1. Mark as default View
2. Folders -> Show this view : in Folders of Content Type : {Custom Content Type name}
I am using following code which sets "in Folders of Content Type : " to "Folder" rather than selecting custom content type despite passing Content Type ID of custom content type.
code:
var itemContentTypes = clientContext.LoadQuery(web.AvailableContentTypes.Where(ct => ct.Name == viewContentType));
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
var itemContentType = itemContentTypes.FirstOrDefault();
view.ContentTypeId = itemContentType.Id;
view.DefaultViewForContentType = true;
view.Update();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Please highlight what seems to be missing?
Thanks
Sonal

Hi,
Before you set the content type ID for the view, you need to add the custom content type to the library firstly.
You can add the content type to library using OOTB feature “Add from existing site content types” in library settings or using Client Object Model.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
var list = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listTitle);
list.ContentTypesEnabled = true;
var contentType = context.Site.RootWeb.ContentTypes.GetById("0x0120");
list.ContentTypes.AddExistingContentType(contentType);
context.ExecuteQuery();

Having templates appear when users click the "New Document" button in a document library with custom content types

Hi all,
I'm using SharePoint Online, but I'm seeing the same behavior in an on-prem 2013 instance as well. My situation is this:
- I've created a document library
- I've created a custom content type and attached a custom document template to it
- I've assigned the custom content type to the document library, and disabled the default "document" option
What I'm expecting to see is that when I browse to the document library and click "new document", that either a) a picklist appears allowing me to specify the document template I want (using the custom template I specified) or b) open the custom
template itself. That doesn't happen - instead, when I click new document I'm prompted to upload a file, which seems to contradict the whole point of using a custom content type/custom document template combo.
Am I missing something? The custom template isn't in the Forms library, which seems to be a problem if I wanted to use the custom document template instead of the default.
Ideally I'd like a menu like the one shown here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/59ce3bd8-bf7f-4872-ae76-60d8c81dfc32/display-content-types-on-new-document-button-in-document-libraries?forum=sharepointgeneral, except with me being able to control the list of items that is shown.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Brain,
What you have done is by design behavior.
If you want to show the Office document templates list (e.g. below image from your above referenced link) to select when click "+new document" link, this will need to install Office Web App 2013 which provides this feature,
you can new document and see it is using WopiFrame.aspx page, please see more from below article about how to configure OWA 2013 for SharePoint 2013 on-premise.
