How to Create Custom List in SharePoint 2010 Programmatically ?

Hi,
i have tried the following way,
http://devendra-sharepoint.blogspot.in/2012/01/creating-list-programatically-in_30.html
But i am not able to create list.
Becuase i am getting the following error.
'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb' does not contain a definition for 'EnsureList' and no extension method 'EnsureList' accepting a first argument of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Please advice.
Thanks,
Aasai

Hi,
You can use list.Fields.Add() to add column in list. See below blog:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/3764/create-sharepoint-list-programmatically.aspx
Use this to delete list:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/54db21/delete-list-in-sharepoint-2010-programmatically-using-vs-201/
See this for remove user/group from list:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/54db21/remove-group-permission-to-list-in-sharepoint-2010-programma/
Hope it could help

How to manage big custom list in SharePoint 2010

Hi All experts,
I am working on Time Attendance Management System, where I have to generate a weekly schedule at once for each employee every year.
Custom List columns are
Employee Number
Employee Name
From Date(Mon)
To Date(Sun)
Total numbers of employees are: 2800
Eg: In January 2015(5 weeks): 5 * 2800 = 14000 items
Likewise total, if I generate one year schedule which contains 53 weeks (53* 2800 = 148400 items/year)
How to overcome with the below problems
List threshold limit which is 5000
Efficiency of list
How can I manage such a big list? Can someone please suggest me here?
MercuryMan

Hi MercuryMan,
Possible ideas regarding you problems are:-
1. Increase size list and take timely back up delete list item from source list ( but problem of maintenance every now and then, not completely feasible.)
2. Better to store all the entries in the database (ex: SQL) and so in this way you won't have to worry about growing list item numbers. But for this, you need database access to save and retrieve.
Thanks,

How to Archive a list in sharepoint 2010

Hi
I think large list is the inevitable trend and will be a very common issue faced by everyone. We are a medium business using sharepoint 2010.
For past 3 years, one of our SharePoint lists is over 20000 items.
From my end:
1. I have indexed some important columns and created filtered views but it does not help much.
2. I have increased the list threshold value to 25000( Even though the best practice is 5000).
3. Also, I have set the list template size to 500MB
4. When I try to save the list as a template, SharePoint throws an exception error.
5. I tried working on the code
mentioned in the link
below but it looks complicated for me.
http://spboom.com/sharepoint-development/moving-sharepoint-list-items-to-archive-list/
What I need:
I need to archive old items in the list. After archiving, I might need to refer to the archived items from time to time.
As I'm newbie to SharePoint, it would be great, if someone can elaborate in detail with what can be done.
Again your help in this is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
SweR

What vesion of SharePoint are you using? If you want to move items across from one list to another (as per your prefered option), something like: -
Create a list template of you list with no content
Recreate it on the same level as the main lis
Create an SPD workflowthat'll copy an item to the new list and delete the original. Make sure it doesn't have a triggering action
Use an Expiration Information Rights Policy to triger the workflow.
Please note that this won't preserve the original author / create metadata as Alex has already said.

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 create purchase order using SharePoint Custom List

Hi All,
Can you please provide some example or link to create Purchase Order using SharePoint List / SharePoint Designer.
Thanks

Hi,
It would be difficult to achieve what you want with the OOTB features of only one list.
Per my understanding, there would be two main functionalities in the solution you want:
1. Calculate and display the “Balance Qty” dynamically based on the values of “Order Qty” and “Deliver Qty”;
2. Trace the “Deliver Date” and “Deliver Qty” as per “Purchase No”;
As a workaround, I would suggest you create two lists as below:
1. List “Orders”: Saving the upcoming orders per “Purchase No”, one “Order Qty” related to one unique “Purchase No”.
Columns in this list:
Purchase No(Number);
Order Date(Date);
Order Qty(Number);
2. List “Deliveries”: Recording each delivery, one “Deliver Qty” to one unique existing “Purchase No” in list “Orders”.
Columns in this list:
Purchase No(Lookup “Purchase No” in list “Orders”);
Order Date(Additional Lookup column along with “Purchase No”);
Order Qty(Additional Lookup column along with “Purchase No”);
Deliver Date(Date);
Deliver Qty(Number);
Balance Qty(Number);
More information about
Lookup column in SharePoint List:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff728095(v=office.14).aspx
http://zimmergren.net/technical/sp-2010-how-to-relational-lists-in-sharepoint-2010
In the “Deliveries” list, we can trace each “Deliver Qty” and “Deliver Date” easily by filtering the “Purchase No” column in the list view page.
For the dynamic values in “Balance Qty” column, Event Receiver with custom code would be needed as we will need to query the “Order Qty” in “Orders” list and all the
existing “Deliver Qty” value per “Purchase No” in “Deliveries” list.
An idea about
how to implement a Purchase Order system in this blog would be helpful:

How to create time column in SharePoint custom list.

Hi,
Actually my requirement is, I should create a Custom List in SharePoint which should has "Effort" column with the "Time" type.
User Should enter only Hours and minutes in that field. How should i do it?
By Default we can have "Date and Time" or "Date" alone. There is no feature to have only "Time" :(
Thanks in advance.
Poomani Sankaran

you can use JSLink script for that. You can use text field attache JSlink script and change her client side rendering. some information and samples about client side rendering: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Client-side-rendering-JS-2ed3538a
I's good because in worst case you will have pure SP text field. In case of migration to new version or cloud you will have no problems.
Even more you can attache Jquery UI Time spinner http://jqueryui.com/spinner/#time or you can download Time picker extension http://trentrichardson.com/2010/04/19/timepicker-addon-for-jquery-ui-datepicker/
and create fancy time picking design.

Creating custom lists that are links to SharePoint sites.

I am new to SharePoint 2013 Online and was wondering if there is a non-coding way to build a sub-site from a template that is not initially connected to a site collection. Attach this sub-site to a site an already existing site collection afterwards and
use data from the sub-site that is created, to generate a custom list items that can also be used as links to the sub-site itself.
How I thought this might work would be to create templates for site collections (if that is even possible), and then use a links list or some other type of linked list but not exactly sure how this is done in SharePoint.
Any input on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated as well as any insight as to whether this is even possible to do with out coding. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create custom lists that are links to SharePoint sub-sites.
I recommend to create a custom list and add a multiple line column to display the sub-sites url.
Then create a workflow associate a custom list and use “Call HTTP Web Service" action and “Build Dictionary" action to get the count of the sub-sites.
Then use the Loop Stage to create a new item in the custom list and set the multiple line column to the url you get in the dictionary.
Here is a great blog for you to take a look at:
http://sergeluca.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/calling-the-sharepoint-2013-rest-api-from-a-sharepoint-designer-workflow/
In addition, you can use the build-in webservice via SharePoint Designer.

How to raise mail notification when ever the new event is added to calendar list in sharepoint 2010?

Hi experts, I need guidance or the way how we can raise mail,
When ever the new item is added / updated / deleted / cancelled to a calendar list in SharePoint 2010.
Shall we achieve it through using SharePoint designer 2010.
If its help to fix the requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Dhayanand Kalimidi

>I need to send the mail before 1 week from the date
This is different requirement. Initially you said you want send email when item is added / updated / deleted in list. For this you can use default alert to send instant email as suggested before.
Now if you want to send reminder email then you can use designer WF and calculate the due date by using variable. Refer this link for your ref:
http://mysharepointchronicles.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/sharepoint-list-with-workflow-email-reminder-set-to-send-30-days-from-created-date/
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/3211ee00-92de-47f1-b611-4c9609f92ab7/how-do-i-set-sharepoint-2010-to-send-a-reminder-email-a-month-after-a-date-already-listed?forum=sharepointdevelopmentlegacy
Remember event receiver can not send reminder email or scheduled email so for this either use designer WF or create timer job.
Hope it could help

How to create custom content placeholder in sharepoint 2013

Hi, I would like to create custom content placeholder don't know how to and add to my custom master page in sharepoint 2013. I have no luck searching on how to create custom content placeholder, any help?
Thanks,
Johnweb

Hi,
If you’re not fixed your requirement with the Out of the box SharePoint place holders, you can create as many as you want as long as the ID doesn’t conflict. On the master page add the content place holder
<asp:ContentPlaceHolderid="CustomName" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder> and add this to your page layout
<asp:Contentrunat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="CustomName"></asp:Content>.
I suggest you provide your basic requirement for further research.
If you want to customize a master page, the Rajendra's method would be helpful.

Ribon mising when first opening a list in Sharepoint 2010

Hello.
When opening a list in SharePoint 2010, I do not get the ribbon. If I click on a list item, the ribbon appears. Then I can come back to the original task I had in mind.
Can you advise how to fix it so that the ribbon always appear when loading a list?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks dear Alex,
Probably... I am not the programmer, but the user. The programmer told me that it was impossible to have the ribbon available unless an item of the list is clicked on first, so I wanted to investigate if that is true and if there is a way around it. Does
not seem natural to have to open an item on the list before creating a new one.
