Determine current Page's Context Navigation Term using server object model

I am trying to find a way to figure out the navigation term in the context of page processing that was requested through a friendly url. I cannot seem to locate anything on MSDN. The only similar functionality i see is using CSOM via _spFriendlyUrlPageContextInfo.

Hi,
Please refer to the following article, it has information how to get the friendly URL
How to get friendly URL of the current page in Sharepoint programmatically
Please don't forget to mark it answered, if your problem resolved or helpful.

Getting 'File not found' error while using server object model code

Hi,
I am using server object model code to pull list data in a console application. My machine has standalone installation of SP 2010. I am getting error 'File Not Found', however the same operation is working fine with client object model code.
Code I am using:
string strURL=http://servername/sites/sitename;
SPSite siteObj=new SPSite (strURL); //getting error here.
I have already checked the below,
1. Framework being used is 3.5.
2. I have proper access to site.
3. Running visual studio as admin.
Any help is much appreciated.
thanks
Tarique
thanks and regards Tarique Aslam

Hello Tarique ,
Couple of pints need to check:
1. User running the console application needs to have at least read permission to the SharePoint databases
2. Set application by changing the "Platform target:" option on the "Build" to "Any CPU"

Assign Group permission to list item using client object model

Hi,
I am trying to add the list item and assign the permission to the list item by using SP 2010 client object model. The problem which i am facing that when i assign the group as a permission to the item, by automatically the limited access permission
is added to the group. Please find the steps which i have followed,
Step-1: Break role inheritance.
foreach (var item in _listItemCollection)
if (item["FileLeafRef"].ToString().ToLower() == "xxx")
item.BreakRoleInheritance(true, false);
_clientContext.Load(item.RoleAssignments);
_folderItem = item;
_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Step 2: Remove all permissions of the list item.
foreach (var assignment in _folderItem.RoleAssignments)
assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.RemoveAll();
assignment.Update();
_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Step 3:
Add Group as a permission to the list item.
var role = _web.RoleDefinitions.GetByType(RoleType.Contributor);
var collRdb = new RoleDefinitionBindingCollection(_clientContext) { role };
Principal principal = _grp;
_folderItem.RoleAssignments.Add(principal, collRdb);
_folderItem.Update();
_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
After adding the group successfully to the list item, i checked the group permission and it contains the value as "Contribute,Limited Access" to the site level and "Contribute" to the list item. Please guide me how to avoid to create Contribute,Limited
Access role.
Balaji

Hi Dmitry,
When I create the group and assign contribute permission, the group has the permission at the site level(to see the permission, click group and click view Group Permission). I have added the list item and break the role inheritance permission
and given the unique permission by providing group as a permission to the list item. After providing the permission, the group permission at the site level changed to "Contribute, Limited Access". I dont know how contribute permission changed to contribute,
limited access.
I found the workaround to fix this issue. I created the group and create the folder in the shared document library by using client object model. Due to facing some issue by providing the permission using client object model, i have created the event receiver
to the document library and using server object model, i can able to assign the approprate group permission.

Custom wcf service that uses SharePoint Object Model.

Hi All,
I am writing a custom service on SharePoint. I have noticed most of the people do deploy the custom wcf service in layout folder in 12/14/15 hive. I am wondering is it mandatory? Can’t we deploy the custom wcf service that uses SharePoint Object Model as
virtual directory on a specific port?
Regards Restless Spirit

It is suggested to use WCF in 12/14/15 hive folder due to security and eas in use. Check below
http://www.dotnetcurry.com/showarticle.aspx?ID=760
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff521584%28v=office.14%29.aspx
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16008593/where-should-custom-wcf-service-for-sharepoint-2010-resides
If you want to use the server object model you have to host your WCF service on the same server as your SharePoint is installed on.
If the WCF service has to be on a different server you can use the client object model or the SharePoint webservices to communicate to SharePoint.

How do I show what menu title is active, e.g. current page, in spry navigation?

How do I show what menu title is active, e.g. current page, in spry navigation?
See website http://dorsay-easton-indian-law.com/index.html
I want to have Home menu title have a different color when on index.html and so on. I keep using the term "active" for that, and "hover" for mouseover. Is that correct? And what do I need to do so that my menu displays an indication of which page is the current one?

The CSS pseudo-classes in order are:
a = any link
a:link = an unvisited link (normal state)
a:visited = a link after it has been visited
a:hover = on mouseover
a:active = on click
a:focus = reached with tab key
See persistent page indicator on menus:

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update list column in SharePoint hosted apps using JavaScript Client Object Model.
Based on the error message, it seems not retrieve the list object in context. I suggest you debug the code step by step using Internet Explorer Developer Tools to
find the problem.
Here are some demos about using JavaScript Client Object Model in SharePoint hosted app:

Unable to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL

Please can you help with this issue.
We are not able to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL.
What we need is to use default credentials to authenticate user to get only those list which he has access to.
clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
But in this case we are getting error saying ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.’
Instead of passing Default Credentials, if we pass the User credentials using:
clientContext.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("Administrator", "password", "contoso")
It authenticates the user and works fine. Since we are developing a web part, it would not be possible to pass the user credentials. Also, the sample source code works perfectly fine on the SharePoint 2010 environment. We need to get the same functionality
working for SharePoint 2013.
We are also facing the same issue while authenticating PSI(Project Server Interface) Web services for Project Server 2013.
Can you please let us know how we can overcome the above issue? Please let us know if you need any further information from our end on the same.
Sample code is here: http://www.projectsolution.com/Data/Support/MS/SharePointTestApplication.zip
Regards, PJ Mistry (Email: [email protected] | Web: http://www.projectsolution.co.uk | Blog: EPMGuy.com)

Hi Mistry,
I sure that CSOM will authenticate without passing the
"clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" by default. It will take the current login user credentials by default. For more details about the CSOM operations refer the below link.

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);
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Quering the database using Client Object Model

Hi,
I have to fetch the list items from a list named "Project Status" and display it in a table using
Client Object model.
The equivalent server side code is:
SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPList list = web.Lists["Project Status"];
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
try
if (list.ItemCount > 0)
DataColumn dc;
DataColumn dc1;
dc = new DataColumn("ProjectId", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dc1 = new DataColumn("Project Name", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dt1.Columns.Add(dc);
dt1.Columns.Add(dc1);
DataRow dr;
foreach (SPListItem item in list.Items)
dr = dt1.NewRow();
dr["ProjectId"] = item["ProjectId"];
dr["Project Name"] = item["Project Name"];
dt1.Rows.Add(dr);
Repeater1.DataSource = dt1;
Repeater1.DataBind();
catch (Exception Ex)
throw Ex;
1 more issue what i face is providing two links in the Visual WebPart and their navigate url is based on a condition that is fetched from the database. This corresponding code has to be converted to
Client Object Model.
string user = web.CurrentUser.LoginName;
string userID = user.Split(new char[] { '\\' })[1];
string connString = @"Data Source=NorthWind;Initial Catalog=EmployeeDB;User ID=sa;Password=Newuser123";
string query = "select * from EMPLOYEE_PROFILE";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);
try
conn.Open();
DataTable t1 = new DataTable();
using (SqlDataAdapter a = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd))
a.Fill(t1);
DataRow[] dr = t1.Select("PsNo = '" + userID + "'"); //This will select all rows where the Name Column has current user
foreach (DataRow r in dr)
string bU = r["DeputedBU"].ToString();
if (bU == "INS" || bU == "BFS")
lnkPM.NavigateUrl = web.Site.WebApplication.Sites[0].Url + "/Dashboard.aspx";
lnkSummary.NavigateUrl = web.Site.WebApplication.Sites[0].Url + "/DashboardWithHyperlinks.aspx";
else
lnkPM.Visible = false;
lnkSummary.Visible = false;
catch (Exception)
throw;
finally
conn.Close();
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
According to your post, there would be two questions in this single thread.
It is recommended to post one question in one single thread which will make others easier to focus on one question in one thread.
For the first question, you want to fetch list items and put into a DataTable object using Client Object Model.
To fetch list items from a list using Client Object Model, you can take a look at the code snippet below from MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee534956(v=office.14).aspx
For the second question, you might need to retrieve the User object and site collections object using Client Object Model.
However, if you can develop a Visual Web Part for your site, it means that you will be able to access the SharePoint Object Model which has more powerful APIs, so there is no
need to use Client Object Model in a Visual Web Part.

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

How to upload a document with values related to document properties in to document set at same time using Javascript object model

Hi,
Problem Description: Need to upload a document with values related to document properties using custom form in to document set using JavaScript Object Model.
Kindly let me know any solutions.
Thanks
Razvi444

The following code shows how to use REST/Ajax to upload a document to a document set.
function uploadToDocumentSet(filename, content) {
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
var restSource = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/restdocuments/testds')/files/add(url='" + filename + "',overwrite=true)?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
var dfd = $.Deferred();
$.ajax(
'url': restSource,
'method': 'POST',
'data': content,
processData: false,
timeout:1000000,
'headers': {
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-RequestDigest': $('#__REQUESTDIGEST').val(),
"content-length": content.byteLength
'success': function (data) {
var d = data;
dfd.resolve(d);
'error': function (err,textStatus,errorThrown) {
dfd.reject(err);
return dfd;
Then when this code returns you can use the following to update the metadata of the new document.
function updateMetadataNoVersion(fileUrl) {
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
var restSource = appweburl +
"/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/restdocuments/testds')/files/getbyurl(url='" + fileUrl + "')/listitemallfields/validateupdatelistitem?@target='" + hostweburl + "'";
var dfd = $.Deferred();
$.ajax(
'url': restSource,
'method': 'POST',
'data': JSON.stringify({
'formValues': [
'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.ListItemFormUpdateValue' },
'FieldName': 'Title',
'FieldValue': 'My Title2'
'bNewDocumentUpdate': true,
'checkInComment': ''
'headers': {
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'content-type': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-RequestDigest': $('#__REQUESTDIGEST').val()
'success': function (data) {
var d = data;
dfd.resolve(d);
'error': function (err) {
dfd.reject(err);
return dfd;
