How to retrieve sharepoint list data and show it on excel-addin using C#

Hi,
we have a sharepoint list where all students are present. we wanted to get the data from the list and show it via excel addin (VSTO) (something like save,retrieve buutons) . we have some more business logic which need to be performed before the data is retrieved
. once data is shown on excel , user modifies it and update/save the record back to sharepoint.
can you please give some samples and suggest any links to start with development.
Thanks
chaitu

Hi chaituatp,
For this requirement, I would suggest you to get familiar with how to create VSTO applications, and how SharePoint object model works. Here are some sample code about this:

How to retrieve table rows data and add into DB

Hi All,
I'm a beginner in JAVAFX, I have developed a table and adding the data into the table in multiple rows. on button click I would like these rows to be added into DB.
Please could anyone help on this. I'm copy the code for reference.
CODE:
import javafx.ext.swing.SwingComponent;
import javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent;
import javax.swing.event.ListSelectionListener;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
package class TableColumn{
public var text: String;
package class TableCell{
public var text: String;
public var id;
public var str:String;
public var str1:String[];
public var num:Number;
package class TableRow{
public var cells: TableCell[];
package class SwingTable extends SwingComponent{
var table: JTable;
var model:DefaultTableModel;
public var selection: Integer;
public var columns: TableColumn[] on replace{
model = new DefaultTableModel(for(column in columns) column.text, 0);
table.setModel(model);
public var rows: TableRow[] on replace oldvalue[lo..hi] = newVals{
for(index in [hi..lo step -1]){
model.removeRow(index);
for(row in newVals){
model.addRow(for(cell in row.cells) cell.text);
public override function createJComponent(){
table = new JTable();
model = table.getModel() as DefaultTableModel;
var selectionModel = table.getSelectionModel();
selectionModel.addListSelectionListener(
ListSelectionListener{
public override function valueChanged(e: ListSelectionEvent ) {
selection = table.getSelectedRow();
return new JScrollPane(table);
}

Instead of using a combo box, using a text ring makes it much easier to disable items in the list. Here is a vi that will do what you want. Also you can delete the last element in the table and make it enabled in the text ring for selecting again.

How do I use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?

We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization. We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones. How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us. After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account. To
solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder. The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
is not capable of automatic synchronization. There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution. We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
offer which will automatically synchronize the folders. After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server? Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync? If so, are we in the right
direction with what we have found so far?
Thanks,
Brad

You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

Retrieving Sharepoint List Item Information for SAP Best Approach

Hi
We have a request for retrieving Sharepoint list item information to create DVS objects in SAP. Has anybody been doing something like that, getting information out of Sharepoint into SAP? What would the best approach for this be, as usually implementations are the other way around, i.e. getting data out of SAP into Sharepoint. I think that Duet Enterprise would be an overkill for this and also requires additional licenses.
So I have been thinking using either a PI/Web Service using the Sharepoint WSDL to retrieve the information, or maybe there are also possibilities using WebDAV. There are some CL_HTTP_WEBDAV classes, but I am not sure whether and how they could be used for this.
Does anybody have how-tos or examples for either approach? Feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel

Without using a ridiculously long workflow (which even then may not work) I do not think this is feasible in a sharepoint list. A workflow can be used to alter other fields in an item but not incrementing items like you require. You would be better changing
to data sheet view (quick edit in 2013) and changing them all manually then, or changing to terms such as priority high, low etc. Overall, no this is not really possible.

How to display planned movement date and actual movement date together?

Hi, Professionals,
My purpose is to list delayed outbound deliveries.
Anyone could tell me how to display planned movement date and actual movement date?
Appreciate your help.

Thanks Shiva.
I tried another way to do it. It works only for a short period of time.
By using VL06O, I list all outbound deliveries by limiting both planned goods movement dates and actual goods movements dates to the same week I would like to inspect. Say both from 7th/11 to 14th/11.
then I list outbound delivery list with planned goods movement date to 7th/11 but left out actual goods movements dates this time.
In excel, I compare those two lists and filter out those unique ones because those unique documents means delayed deliveries which cannot delivery according to planned date.
However, the "delayed" list generated by this method has some noises. Not all of documents are really delayed although most of them do.
I'm also looking for a way to list sales documents number of these delayed delivery documents so i can retrieve order details from it such as order value.
Help still needed.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
"Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemLike"
runat="server"
Text="My Like"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="https://www.google.com.hk/"
/>
To remove the “Delete” menu, we can comment the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemDelete"
runat="server"
Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickScript="%SmtObjectDeleteScript%"
/>
The result is as below:
More information:
MenuItemTemplate Class (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)
MenuItemTemplate.ClientOnClickScript property (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)

SSDT - Using a SharePoint list data feed as source - "column does not exist in the rowset" error

Hey guys!
So, I want to use a SharePoint list data to create a cube/tabular model, in order to make a complex analysis in PPS using MDX.
To create the tabular model, I'm using the SS Data Tools, and importing a feed from the respective SharePoint list (using the _vti_bin/listdata.svcextension and then selecting the list(s) I wanna to import).
Everything looks fine and smooth, I can select and preview the data in the table import wizard, but in the end, when importing, I always get this error IF the table has one or more row of data (if the table is empty, it's ok...) - the <...>
column doesn't exist in the rowset.
(Curiously, when I have the same procedure in PowerPivot for Excel, I have no problems, everything works fine. The problem is that then I get again errors if I try to create a tabular model on SSDT importing a PowerPivot file).
Here's the error:
Had you already tried this in SSDT? Are you experiencing the same trouble?
Best regards, and thanks in advance!

I noticed something else too.
I can't process Tabular Models on both SSDT and SSMS (2012), but I can process Tabular Models created on PowerPivot.
I tried to create a Data Feed connection on PowerPivot, and it was successfully created. However, if restoring the PowerPivot Tabular DB on my SSAS Tabular instance and processing (full) the model through SSMS, it won't work.
Is there anything different on PowerPivot and SSDT related with Partitioning or connections to the data sources?
Regards,
Jorge
Jorge Mateus
Update:
When trying to Restore a PowerPivot file on my SSAS Tabular Server and full process the model:
The operation failed because the source does not contain the requested column. You can fix this problem by updating the column mappings.
More Details:
The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb' in table 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
X is the first column of the source table, no matter if I chose others on the PowerPivot table.
When trying to import data from a data feed using SSDT:
The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_ee6be81f-2235-4113-b404-cfcb20647a38' in table 'X_ee6be81f-2235-4113-b404-cfcb20647a38'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
X is the first chosen column to import.

How do I find the date and time stamp on pictures?

How do I find the date and time stamp for my pictures?

The Photos app will not do this but other apps will. iPhoto has an icon that when tapped with the photo open will show the EXIF information you are looking for. iPhoto is not free but you can purchase it in the App Store.
There may be other photo apps that provide this information as well.
PhotoForge2 will show the EXIF data as well as the GPS data if it is available.
