How to Create a Custom Project Site Template Using Visual Studio

I know how to make changes and save a site as a template but I need to be able to create a new project site template during deployment to different environments. Trying to have this not be a manual process.

Hello,
This article might help:

Start with a default Project Site (create a new site from the Project site template) and save out the WSP then import into VS.

  • Question about creating association between Sharepoint BDC entities using Visual Studio 2010

    I am following this tutorial:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vssharepointtoolsblog/archive/2010/08/02/walkthrough-of-creating-association-between-sharepoint-bdc-entities-using-visual-studio-2010.aspx
    I am getting the following error:
     There is an error in the TypeDescriptors of Parameters on Method with Name 'CustomerToOrder' on Entity (External Content Type) with Name 'Customer' in Namespace 'BdcAssociationSample.BdcModel1'. The TypeDescriptors incompletely define where the Foreign
    Identifiers of Entity 'Order' in Namespace 'BdcAssociationSample.BdcModel1' are to be read. That Entity expects exactly '1' Identifiers, but only '0' TypeDescriptors with the correct Association were found from which to read them.
    I have viewed the following:
    http://lightningtools.com/business_connectivity_services/the-typedescriptors-incompletely-define-where-the-identifiers-of-entity-x-are-to-be-readbcs-error/
    after reading that article, I am still not sure what setting I am missing.  Does anyone have the full working source code from the msdn article linked above?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got the symbols not loaded error.
    First try rebuilding your project by right mouse click the project > Rebuild If that doesn't work, try a clean of the project (right mouse click on the project > clean)
    If that didn't work check this:
    Right mouse click your project
    select [Properties]
    select the [Build] tab
    make sure [Define DEBUG constant] and [Define TRACE constant] are checked
    Click the [Advanced] button at the bottom of the Build tabpage
    Make sure that [Debug Info:] is set to [full]
    Click [OK] and rebuild the project ;
    Hope that works for you! (step 6 generates the .pdb files, these are the debugging symbols)
    What’s more, you can clean & re-compile the code, then install the respective dlls one more time to GAC (just remove them before adding to GAC again), do an IISReset to check whether it works.

  • How to create the Custom project System as Web Project

    Hi,
    I have created a custom project system using this walkthrough. But
    this walk through is targeting Visual C# project system. I need to create the Custom project system as Web project and set the start up page as index.html file. How can I achieve this?
    Note: 
    I have got the Custom project system sample from VS2013 SDK samples(https://mpfproj12.codeplex.com/).
    But it demonstrate the Custom console applications only.
    - Abbas K

    Hi,
    So you didn't even follow this walkthrough yet? If you did, how did you do it?
    I failed to create such a web project system because I finally messed up my VS experimental instance. But it's possible to create a custom web project system, by following this walkthrough. Someone else has successfully made it, check this
    link.
    The difference is that you have to use web project type instead of the console application project type. You could copy a web project's .csproj file into the VSPackage project and rename it to xxx.myproj. There's an error in the walkthrough that the AssemblyInfo.cs
    file should be put into Properties folder and set the "Build Action" property to Content, "Include in VSIX" to true.

            //MessageBox(NULL,ProjectInfo[i].ProjectName.c_str(),"Project Name",0);
        return 0;
    In the above code im geeting project D which is an integer value. But not able to get the project name.
    Please some one guide me.

    As I said in the other thread, this really isn't the place to ask questions about a database API unrelated to the Illustrator SDK. You're far more like to find people familliar with your problem on a forum that is dedicated to answering those kinds of questions instead.

  • How open a report with Viewer 2008 without using Visual Studio and Java

    Hi,
    There is a way to open a report (with parameters) save in a web server with Crystal Report Viewer 2008 without using Visual Studio or Java ?
    I've an asp page and i want to open this report using some command (I know asp, vbscript and html)
    In the past it was very easy because we use CR 9, but now it's already many days im looking for a solution but seem impossible.
    I know the craxdrt.dll is not included with Crystal Reports 2008.
    It seem me i can use OpenDocument, but i'm not sure. Someone has some easy example to help me ?
    Remember i have only Crystal report viewer 2008 on the server and on the clients.
    Thanks in advance

    If you are looking to create a web application or view report through a web server using only Crystal Reports then you do have to either use Java, or .NET.
    If you have Crystal Reports server or Business Objects Enterprise you can use OpenDocument to view managed reports but this does require one of our server products.

  • How to create a custom Project Preset Premiere Elements 9?

    Hi,
    In the help documentation of Premiere Elements 9 it says that i can create a new Project Preset: "The procedure for creating a preset differs if you’re changing settings for an open project versus establishing settings for a new project. Presets you create can be applied to new projects, and if you want to back up or distribute preset files, you can find them in the Settings subfolder of the Adobe Premiere Elements folder on your hard disk." (url).
    Sadly, i can't find the specific instructions that would help me to establish settings for a new project and save it.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • How to create a custom transition for further use?

    Hi,
    I created a transition which looks like CoverFlow (like in iTunes): clip moving from full screen to the left hand side in a distorted position with a reflection underneath, then fading out while on the right hand side the new clip fades in and moves then to full screen. Looks rather nice...
    Instead of typing all the keyframed coordinates again and again, I would like to make it into an transition effect which I use just like all the other transitions.
    Is there a way to do this in FCP 5.1.4?

    Well...
    One way to do this would be to razorblade apart the actual keyframed portions of the outgoing clip, then past attributes> motion and filters

  • Import Workflow from Site-Template to Visual Studio 2012

     
    Hi,
    I would like to import a SiteCollection Template into VS 2012 to create a sandboxed solution WSP Deployment Package.
    The Package should contain some document libraries, some content types and a reusable workflow running in one of the imported content types.
    So when I create the package and deploy it on a new sitecollection, all libraries and content types has been created.
    The only problem is that under "site setting"->Site Content Types"->"My ContentType"->"Workflow Settings" there is no workflow, like it was in the original sitecollection.
    When I then use Designer 2013 I see the old workflow. I can make a copy there and publish it again, then I can bind it to my content type.
    What do I have to import from the template / or change in my VS project to bind the workflow automaticly at deployment time.
    Thanks a lot
    Stephan

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about save site as template with the workflow.
    Did you do some customization for the wsp template in the VS?
    By default, when we save a site as a template, then the workflow attached with list or content type would be preserved.
    You can save a site as template, and use the template to create a new site directly to check whether the workflow preserved in the site.
    Thanks,

  • How to create CD tracks into a DVD using DVD Studio Pro 4

    I would like to know if it is possible to create a simple audio track list from the menu and program it to play without having to enter a track file. I have 6 songs and I want click on the song and it would start to play, so on etc....and of course be able to use all of its functions such as play, stop, pause etc... without leaving the menu.
    thanks
    Gab

    Hi Shawn thanks for your quick response. You are right, musci tracks use a cd. But I'm a musician and a filmmaker and I wanted to create a showreel for myself with my works all together. I bought about a year ago a superman (R. Donner 1977) DVD in the US with 3 DVDs and on one of the bonus dvd they created a menu where you could play some of the music used on the film, you clicked and the music was on. I'm preparing my new showreel and if I could do the same with my dvd, it would awesome. Is there anyway I could control control the background music by a click of a button? If this software can't do it, they should try to correct it of a future release.
    thanks

  • WPF 4.5 doesn't show the option to open the project in Blend for Visual Studio 2013

    Hi,
    In my WPF 4.5 project in Visual Studio 2013, when I right clicked the name of my project it doesn’t show the option to open in Blend for Visual Studio 2013….. and when I try to open the project with Blend for Visual Studio 2013, it doesn't show anything.....
    I don't see the project nor the UI of my WPF 4.5 project
    How I can open my project in Blend for Visual Studio 2013???
    Thanks!!!
    Regards,

    Hi Jaquense,
    open Blend. Open Project/Solution and select the .sln-file of the project you've created in visual Studio. That's it. In the Project Explorer in Blend you should see your files and you should be able to open up your XAML-files.

  • How to create a site column through Visual Studio 2010?

    I was trying to create lists, content type and site columns through Visual Studio 2010. But I could not figure out how to add site column? What item do I need to add for this and what kind of coding is to be done?

    Try this
    1. Create a Empty project in Visual studio.
    2.The Empty SharePoint Project template does not include any Features in the Features folder. To add a new Feature to this project, right -click the Features folder, and click Add Feature. This adds a new Feature component to the folder; double – click the
    Feature1 icon in Solution Explorer to modify the Feature ’ s
    metadata using the Feature designer. The Title and Description values appear on the Features pages in Site settings. It is a good idea to make these values
    descriptive so that administrators will know what they are adding to the site when they activate the feature.
    The feature ’ s scope determines where the feature can be activated within SharePoint. Please Note – Certain components, such as site columns, content types, Master pages, and Page Layouts, are installed at the site collection level and made available to all
    sites within the collection. These components require that the scope for the feature be set to “ Site. ”
    3. Next, add a new item to the project (Right – click project name ➪ Add ➪ New Item) and select the Empty Element template from the Add New Item dialog box.
    The Empty Element template is an XML fi le where you can enter CAML Field definitions.
    Following is what you will add in your elements.xml file –
    < Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" >
    < Field ID="{76C140E1-D827-433B-AD38-257F9594B846}"
    Name="CustomCol"
    DisplayName="My Custom Site Column"
    Group="Custom group"
    Type="Text"
    Required="FALSE"/ >
    < Field ID="{5F516D92-969C-4661-81B9-C9210E2A2FDC}"
    Name="Choice Type"
    DisplayName="My Choice Type"
    Group="Custom group"
    Type="Choice"
    Required="FALSE" >
    < CHOICES >
    < CHOICE > Medical < /CHOICE >
    < CHOICE > Dental < /CHOICE >
    < CHOICE > Vision < /CHOICE >
    < CHOICE > Insurance < /CHOICE >
    < /CHOICES >
    < /Field >
    < /Elements >
    4. To deploy the Site Columns defined in the Elements file, right – click the project name in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, and select Deploy. This will deploy the solution file to the solution store and activate the Feature in the targeted site collection.
