Auto Populate Textbox in sharepoint Visual Webpart

Hi all,
I have requirement in My organization. all the web users need to be auto populating while typing letters.
I have done this earlier in .net with web method but web method scenario is not working in visual webpart
Can any one help me out ....
Thanks
Nag

Hi Nag,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to ac auto populate/suggest all the users from current web in textbox in visual webpart.
You could use jQuery to AutoComplete text box in SharePoint 2010 Visual Web part. Please refer to this article(you need to replace the data source ”availableTags”
in the demo):
http://sharepointwings.blogspot.in/2012/05/autocomplete-textbox-using-jquery-in.html
Please refer to this article about how to add jQuery to SharePoint Visual Web part:

Create an InfoPath Form to Auto Populate Data in SharePoint 2010

In Anne Stenberg's Blog from 2 Nov 2011 3:00 PM "How to Create an InfoPath Form to Auto Populate Data in SharePoint 2010" she artfully steps through how to create an InfoPath Form to Auto Populate Data. It works but... Jason, another user,
wrote whenever the form is opened again either to view or edit, it displays the current users information instead of the value of the person who completed the form in the first place.
Anne's response was "Hi Jason - I had forgotten I had that problem, too. Change the Form Load rule's condition to
DisplayName is blank and that should work."
My problem is I can't find anything other than AccountName in "Select a Field or Group" [GetUserProfileByName (Secondary)] to use in the Condition statement that will correct the problem.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I recommend to add one more condition in Form Load to make the form not be populated with current user’s information (You can change Title to another column which should not be blank when users create a new item).

Perform CRUD operation on List using Gridview control (SharePoint Visual webpart)

Hi Friends,
I have SharePoint Visual webpart and I want to perform CRUD operation on SharePoint list using Gridview control.
Is there any other way to implement it , please suggest me the solution approach.
Thanks,
Digambar Kashid

Is there any specific reason you dont want to use Out Of the Box list CRUD operation? Anyways, if you want to use custom approach I think SPGridView is good approach.
There are some samples available for what you are trying to achieve.

How to auto populate a column/SharePoint list with Current Date?

I have a SharePoint list and I created a column called ‘CurrDate’.
I need this column to;
Display the current date,
Auto populate all rows with the current date in the SharePoint list
Dynamically update with the current date
I first tried creating the column using the default SharePoint interface Date Time but it’s not doing any of the steps listed above:
I even tried entering =[Today] in the Calculated Value field.
Still nothing…
So, I’m sure you will toss out a code snippet to make this work, which is great.
However, I’m a total noob with SPD, where the heck do I insert this snippet?
Always in need of help.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to add a column to a list to hold current date. Here is a workaround:
Add a single line of text column to the list. Name the list as Today.
Add a calculated column to the list. Use the [Today] as the formula. Set the calculated column to be Date and Time type.
Delete the Today column from the list.

Sharepoint 2010 Custom Visual Webpart button click event firing on page refresh

I have developed a Visual Webpart to create a list in SP using vs2010 and the button click event I have written the list create method. If I click the button list is created successfully. And I refresh the page again list is creating(Again button
click event is triggering).please help me to solve the issue.
protected void Button1_Click(object sender,
EventArgs e)
            SPWeb web
= SPContext.Current.Web;
            //SPList list=web.Lists["Auto"];

                list.Update();
Label4.Text =
"Field Created Successfully";
TextBox1.Text =
string.Empty;
// Label4.Text = string.Empty;

Hi,
This is because the request is sent to the server when you refresh the page.
A workaround for this is that we can “provide a refresh link that redirects to the same page (or if you have some action causing the refresh programmatically, you could just
redirect to the page after that, with Response.Redirect)
so that page is requested by the browser (with GET method, default with hyperlinks)”.
More information:

Or we can use the Session to save a value which used as a flag for us to check whether it is a page refresh and perform accordingly.

Asynchronous visual webpart for SharePoint 2013

HI,
How to create asynchronous visual webparts in SharePoint 2013 (VS 2012) . I can see lot of examples for 2010 version, but not for SP 2013.
I have 2 visual webparts, which I want to make it as a asynchronous webpart. One webpart has the code written in Javascript client object model(loads lot of images), another is a server side webpart which has a SPGridview.
Is there any sample code available for SP 2013?
Thanks

Hi,
Please try to convert the SharePoint 2010 project to SharePoint 2013.

SharePoint DatePicker is not working in Visual webpart

Hi,
The sharepoint date picker is not working for Visual webparts created in VS 2012 (SP 2013).
In my visual webpart, I added the form digest, and then the sharePoint date control.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/datepicker.js"></script>
<SharePoint:DateTimeControl ID="dtDate" runat="server" DateOnly="true" />
I get the "/ error in Application". Many websites are saying to add the below line to the datepicker:
<SharePoint:DateTimeControl ID="dtDate" runat="server"
DateOnly="true" DatePickerFrameUrl="<%
$SPUrl:~sitecollection/_layouts/15/iframe.aspx %>" />
But adding the "DatePickerFrameUrl" gives error in the "InitializeControl()" method available in OnInit().
Error: The name InitializeControl does not exist in the current context.
I have checked this:
http://developmentsimplyput.blogspot.in/2013/04/sharepoint-datetimecontrol-issue-when.html
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/57092/sharepointdatetimecontrol-crashes-in-sp2013-webpart
but did not solve the issue. Also creating a root site for just a DatePicker control is not an option for me.
Has anybody found a solution to this?
How to use the SharePoint datepicker in visual webpart for SP 2013?
Thanks

hi
did you try to investigate the initial error more deeply, e.g. check stack trace in the logs? In our case it worked quite straightforward (but it was in SP2010) by adding the following control on ascx control:
<SharePoint:DateTimeControl ID="Foo" OnDateChanged="StartTimeChanged" HoursMode24="true" FirstDayOfWeek="1" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server" />
If it is problematic to check logs, you may create custom control which inherits OTB DateTimeControl, override appropriate methods in it and then check the error in debugger:
public class MyDateTimeControl : DateTimeControl

SharePoint 2010 Query string parameter pass between visual webparts

Hi
I should pass a query string value from one visual webpart to another visual webpart in SharePoint 2010 .
Could you please help me like how we can pass
Thanks
Siddartha

In the webpart you can add the code like "Response.Redirect("Page2.aspx?CustomerID=326");"
Once you develop the webparts, add them to the respective pages based on your required functionality.
Please check the similar thread

SharePoint 2013 Query string parameter pass between visual webparts

Hi,
I have created one web part called Latest News in SharePoint 2013 which is
visual web part(Sandbox Solution).
In that, there is button called "Read More". Now when I click on that button I want to show only that item in the new page which is clicked using query string. but the data which will be shown after Read More button will be coming
from a different Visual Web Part.
How should I pass a query string value from one visual webpart to another visual webpart in SharePoint 2013 ?
Could anyone please help me like how we can pass.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
To pass information from one web part to another, we can use the consumer and provider web part with the
IWebPartParameters interface.
There are some articles about this topic, you can refer to them.

How to use existing SharePoint Data Source in Visual WebPart in Visual Studio

I want to create a SharePoint Visual Web Part using Visual Studio, which will query SQL database and will display some data (e.g. Latest News from Database)
I already have a SQL Data Source (rsds file) in SharePoint. Can i use this rsds to connect SQL database for my Visual Web Part ?

I will use web.config as last option but can you please explain how BdcService will connect external SQL database.
What if I use SharePoint property to store connectivity information and all web parts will use it to make connection string?
Following code returns 0 entities
// Get reference to BDC Service
BdcService service =
SPFarm.Local.Services.GetValue<BdcService>();
// Get MetaData Catalog
IMetadataCatalog catalog = service.GetDatabaseBackedMetadataCatalog(SPServiceContext.Current);
// Some heading for the literal control
string dbData =
"<h1>Lob Systems and Entities … </h1> " +
"</br>";
// Get all the external content types from the meta data catalog
foreach (IEntity
ect in catalog.GetEntities("*"))
// Add external content type’s name and lob system name to the literal control
dbData += ect.Name +
"," + ect.GetLobSystem().Name +
"</br>";
ltMsg.Text = dbData;

How to auto-populate dates in a calendar based on radio buttons?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an availability form that is submitted on a monthly basis. What I'd like is to have a radio button the user could click to indicate what day the first of the month falls on (Monday through Sunday), and have fields auto-populate with the remainder of the dates on the calendar. As it stands right now, I've got the radio buttons and the text fields, but I'm running into serious issues getting the text fields to auto-fill based on the selected radio button.
I've labelled the radio button group "First Day of Month" and the individual values are "Monday" "Tuesday" "Wednesday" "Thursday" "Friday" "Saturday" "Sunday" and "Start". The "Start" button is hidden but is checked by default.
My text fields are even simpler: "Monday 1" "Monday 2" "Monday 3" "Monday 4" and "Monday 5" (and then, obviously, repeated for each day of the week.
I am horrible at scripting, so I think that might be where I'm running into issues. What I'd like to put is something like this (only, you know, functional, and for each days' text value):
For "Monday 1"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Monday 1.value" ="1"
else "Monday 1.value" = ""
For "Wednesday 3"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "11"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "17"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Tuesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "16"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Wednesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "15"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Thursday", "Wednesday 3" = "14"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "13"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "12"
else "Wednesday 3.value" = ""
For "Sunday 5"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Sunday 5.value" = "29"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Sunday 5.value" = "31"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Sunday 5.value" = "30"
else "Sunday 5.value" = ""
Is this possible? I have no doubt there's a better way to do it (with proper coding and everything), so any help would definitely be appreciated!

Hello,
Which sharepoint edition you are using? I would prefer to customize your list form in infopath form then add new connection which will connect to your SQL. Later you can filter data based on cust ID. Here is the link to add connection in infopath:

Hello,
You can either use jquery/jaavscript or infopath form to achieve this. There is no default way to do this.
I would suggest jquery because you can put script in newform/editfor.aspx page using content editor webpart. Refer this link for jquery:

If you use infopath form, then you need to create two data connection to get data from both lists. Later you can set value in fields based on selection using rule. This can be possible without code.
Hope it could help

Visual studio 2012 the name "initializeControl" does not exist in the namespace in visual WebPart

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a visual webpart in SharePoint 2013 using Visual Studio 2012 and I am seeing that the file ascx.g.cs
is missing and i have this error in file ascx.cs : the name "initializeControl" does not exist in the namespace.
And like i said i use VS2012 Ultimate
Can anyone Help me please!!!
thanks.

In most scenarios this is caused by some error in code preventing Visual Studio from generating the designer file. You could try to undo the latest changes and see whether the item is being generated or not. Additionally you could try checking if the custom
tool is still associated with the Visual Web Part SPI in the Properties Window.
