Is it possible to change the title of a webpart using client object model/c#/sharepoint online

Hi folks!
I have been busted my butt trying to Write a program changing the title of an existing webpart on on of our subsites on SharePoint online. But I keep getting an error in the very last context.executequery. Tried a bunch of different approaches, but I can't
make it work. Before I start posting code; I Wonder if anyone have ever done this?
Its a plain Windows form application, using Visual studio Express and the Client Object model. (Listsing the titles of the webparts Works but changing titles seem impossible. Thought it might be a checkin/out problem but it doesn't make a difference).
Any help would be highle appreciated.

It depends: are you using the default style for Text Captions? In that case you can change the default style in the Object Style Manager and have it applied to all Captions.
Or you can change one text caption, and in its Properties panel choose the option 'Save Changes to existing style' from the menu top right (see screenshot). Both methods will work if you didn't override the default Caption Style for those captions. Beware: Quizzing objects can use another style.

How to change 'Modified By' column value when a new file is uploaded in SharePoint 2013 using Client Object Model?

I want to change 'Modified By' column value of a file that is being uploaded using Client Object Model in SharePoint 2013. The problem is that the version of the file is changing. Kindly help me. The code that I am using is:
using (System.IO.Stream fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(m_strFilePath))
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(m_clientContext, str_URLOfFile, fileStream, true);
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File fileUploaded = m_List.RootFolder.Files.GetByUrl(str_URLOfFile);
m_clientContext.Load(fileUploaded);
m_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
User user1 = m_Web.EnsureUser("User1");
User user2 = m_Web.EnsureUser("User2");
ListItem item = fileUploaded.ListItemAllFields;
fileUploaded.CheckOut();
item["UserDefinedColumn"] = "UserDefinedValue1";
item["Title"] = "UserDefinedValue2";
item["Editor"] = user1;
item["Author"] = user2;
item.Update();
fileUploaded.CheckIn(string.Empty, CheckinType.OverwriteCheckIn);
m_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Hi talib2608,
Chris is correct for this issue, when calling update using ListItem.update method, it will increase item versions, using SystemUpdate and UpdateOverwriteVersion will update the list item overwrite version.
these two methods are not available in CSOM/REST, only server object model is available for this.
Thanks,

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

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();

Hi,
Please try the code like this:
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://yoursite/");
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("List1_mmsfield");
clientContext.Load(list);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
FieldCollection fields = list.Fields;
clientContext.Load(fields);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Field f = fields.GetByTitle("mms");
clientContext.Load(f);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(f.Title + "---" + f.DefaultValue);
//2;#A2|a0a95267-b758-4e4d-8c39-067069fd2eef
//1;#A1|641f5726-992c-41c8-9ddc-204a60b88584
f.DefaultValue = "1;#A1|641f5726-992c-41c8-9ddc-204a60b88584";
f.Update();
clientContext.Load(f);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(f.Title + "---" + f.DefaultValue);

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.

Is it possible to change the title of a PDF?

Titles of downloaded PDF material do not reflect the contents of the PDF in some cases. Iss it possible to edit the title?

The short answer is no, that's not possible, but it IS possible to import multiple pages at one time.
My favorite script for this is from Scott Zanelli: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files, but there's also a sample script included with ID.

How to update list item using client object model without changing created/modified dates?

Hello All,
I want to update list item using the SharePoint Client Object
Model without updating the created / modified date. Is it possible?
Please help.
Thanks.

Using the SystemUpdate method should do the trick, according
to its literature.
Additionally, would something like this be of any use for you? Taken from this

How to change the angle into front perspective using smart object vectors

Hello, I need this answered so i could succesfully do my school project.
I was using a logo mock up vector(smart object file) for my illustration and was wondering if there is any way to present it in front perspective?
This is just a sample image. I had created a brand new illustration not just a logo but the effect is same.
As you can see the wood engraved logo is presented in an angle. Could i change the position of this sample logo into a front view or i have to make this effect myself from scratch?

On your example i used the Perspective Crop Tool
1. Draw out the perspective crop and move the corner handles to line up with the inside corners of the logo
(blue circles)
2. Then drag out the side handles just outside the image
3. Press the checkmark button to complete the crop
You said vector smart object.
Is that logo something you created in illustrator?

Possible to change the default spool request title ?

Hello,
I'm SAP Basis guy, I've been asked by our functional team if it would be possible to change the default spool request title.
Our endusers have access to transaction SP01, where every morning, they can see the spools request that have been generated during the execution of night batches.
Currently, the default spool name is displayed :
Title or name of spool request LIST1S LOCL ZREPORTSUFFIX (in transactions sm37 and sp01)
Is it possible to change the default name of this spool request with some abap coding ?
Thank you.

hi,
goto transaction SPAD and change the default values as you require but i doubt whether you would be able to change the spool title after the job has been triggered i think it is nt possible
but for further requests you can change it from SPAD

Is it possible to change the automatically set image on the new iMovie Theater title screen?

I made a few movies on the new iMovies 2013 then uploaded into iTheater. I love the software and its ease of use. However, I noticed iTheater automatically sets the title image. Similar to youtube, iTheater probably uses the video mid point image as default. Is it possible to change the set image on iTheater?

Unfortunately, no.

Is it possible to change the URL of the browser corresponding to changes in the timeline?

Hello,
I'm trying to create a whole website in Edge. Is it possible to change the browser URL for different sections of the animation. For example me.com/part1 leads to 2.0 seconds in the animation. And for example when you type me.com/part2 the browser would go to 4th second of the animation. And vice versa, when the animation reaches the 4th second the browser URL would change to me.com/part2. It would be really great if that were possible. Any ideas on how to accomplish it?
Thanks!

Hi there, Joel's example seems to be exactly what you're trying to do. All you need to do is replace his functions with your functions.
There are two main parts to his example: 1) reacting to a URL change directly in the URL bar, 2) reacting to a button click, and setting the URL
Regarding Item 1: this line (this adds a listener for when the URL hash is changed, and calls the 'sym.animate' function in his example). Note that he is linking the value after the # with the symbol names 'panel1', etc. This line enables the functionality for you to be able to directly change the URL to: testStep95.html#panel2, and the site will change pages.
$(window).on("hashchange", function(){sym.animate(location.hash.replace("#",""), sym.onStage)});
Regarding Item 2: he's setting the page title (based on the active panel symbol) and URL hash, in the 'sym.animate' function. He calls the 'sym.animate' function on click of btn1, btn2, btn3:
document.title = panelIn;
window.location.hash = panelIn;
Props to Joel for his slick example!
