Open CAD files in Document Library

I would like to write a small program in Visual Studio 2010 that when a user clicks on a file or maybe selects 'Edit with
Program Name' in a SharePoint 2010 document library that it will download the file to the users desktop then open it up in the associated program. It will also need to check it out as well.
Would the OpenDocuments activeX be my best option here to develop with or is there a better method.

No code needed. You simply need to add a filetype and the appropriate mime handler in IIS.
Check out Add new file type in SharePoint. The screenshots are in french but you'll get the gist.

Unable to open html file in document library without saving first

I've uploaded a bunch of HTML files from a DVD to a document library on our Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise server. When I try to open one of the html files it wants to save the file instead of opening it. If I choose to open the document library in Explorer
I'm able to open the html files w/o issue.
What's causing this? I know there is an option to set the file handing to permissive, but I'd rather not do that.

Carl,
See this link - http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/39020/how-do-i-prevent-sharepoint-from-asking-to-download-html-files-to-my-local-machi
The allowed mime types are defined in theSPWebApplication.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes
Property
Here is small PowerShell utility function I use:
function Add-SPAllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType{
[CmdLetBinding()]
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0, ValueFromPipeLine=$true)]
[Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPWebApplicationPipeBind]$WebApplication,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=1)]
[string]$MimeType
process{
$actualWebApp = $WebApplication.Read()
if ($actualWebApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes -notcontains $mimetype)
Write-Host "Adding MIME Type..."
$actualWebApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes.Add($mimetype)
$actualWebApp.Update()
Write-Host "Done."
} Else {
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "MIME type is already added."
And it can be used like this:
Add-SPAllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType -WebApplication http://mywebapp -MimeType "text/html"

The way SharePoint open office documents will differ if the user try to open them from the document library directly, or if users try to open the document from the search result page.

I have a document library where I have uploaded an excel sheet to it. Now If I click on the excel sheet directly from the document library page , I will get the following error ““The webpage cannot be displayed””. While if I do a search and I open the excel
sheet from the search result page , it will open the excel sheet using the excel services inside the browser !!.
So can anyone advice on this ?
Also if I have a PowerPoint document , and I try to open it from the document library I will get the following error “The webpage cannot be displayed” , and the URL will be prefix with the following “ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|”. while if i do a search and i open
the PowerPoint from the search result page i will be prompted to either open or save the document ? So why SharePoint is reacting totally different when trying to open document library items from the document library Or from the search result page?

Hi,
The behavior in the document library could be probably because of the Documents handling setting. Please try setting it to default behavior (Open in browser) as i hear from you that the default behavior is to open from browser.
Thanks, Suneetha
Currently I have set the following;-
1. On the library advance setting :- I define “Open in the client application”
2. On the web application setting:- I define stricked for Browser File Handling
And I have noted if I delete the browser cache and I access the document , then I will be prompted with the download dialog. but if I re-click on the same document I will be redirected to the
The webpage cannot be displayed
And the ms-powerpoint:ofv|u| will be added to the beginning of the URL. So could this be a caching problem ?

Unable to add aspx file to document library using REST and JSOM in SharePoint Hosted App

Hi,
I am unable to add an aspx file to document library. I was actually trying to create a WIKI page and upload to Pages library but that wasn't working so I tried simple document library. It keeps failing with Access Denied error. I have checked
the blocked types and aspx is not included. I can upload it directly from the browser so that shouldn't be the case. I have read that it can be achieved with CSOM but I need this to work with a SharePoint Hosted App. Here is my JSOM:
factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appweburl);
context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
appContextSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostweburl);
oWeb = appContextSite.get_web();
oList = oWeb.get_lists().getByTitle('Documents');
fileCreateInfo = new SP.FileCreationInformation();
fileCreateInfo.set_url("mywiki.aspx");
fileCreateInfo.set_content(new SP.Base64EncodedByteArray());
fileContent = "<%@ Page Inherits=\"Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.TemplateRedirectionPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c\" %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~TemplatePageUrl\"
%> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~masterurl/custom.master\" %>";
for (var i = 0; i < fileContent.length; i++) {
fileCreateInfo.get_content().append(fileContent.charCodeAt(i));
newFile = oList.get_rootFolder().get_files().add(fileCreateInfo);
context.load(newFile);
context.executeQueryAsync(function () {
alert('yo');
}, function (sender, args) {
alert(args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
If I change the file extension to "txt", it works. Same with REST implementation, it works with "txt" but fails with "aspx". Maybe what I am trying to do will not work using JSOM or REST. Any suggestions? Your
help is always appreciated.

kashif

Your code works fine in both my on-premises and SharePoint Online. I have given the app full control, so I suspect this is a permissions issue. I would check your permissions on your appmanifest. Must be something to do with publishing permissions. Try
giving full control and work the permissions down.

Download files from document library in zip file using javascript

Hi,
I am developing SharePoint Hosted App which needs to download all the files in the document libraries of SharePoint site in a zip folder where in that zip file each document library should be a folder, in that folder the files of that document library will
be shown. Currently I am display all the document library in a table with check boxes as shown in the below figure. Now when user selects the check boxes and click on download button, the selected document libraries along with the files should be downloaded
in a zip folder. This should be achieved through javascript. Can anyone share me the code to solve this problem.
Thanks & Regards,

You can use
zip.js, but the best way - implement your solution on the server-side.

Is it possible Encrypt files in document library after uploading OOB

Is it possible Encrypt files in document library after uploading using OOB?
if so please share how the above can be achieved.
V Jean

hi
there is no easy OTB mechanism for that. The most closer OTB functionality is Rights Management Services (see
e.g. Plan Information Rights Management), which seems like can be used for configuring policy for data encryption, like mentioned in the following forum thread:
How to Encrypt SharePoint data. Also you may use the following methods to make file upload safer:
1. use https instead of http
2. use Sharepoint rights system in order to restrict access to the uploaded documents to only allowed persons (e.g. you may use unique permissions on the doclib level or on file level)
3. if encryption is crucial and you don't want to enable it to all doclibs via RMS, you may use custom solution via event receivers: during file upload it may encypt it by using some standard encryption algorithm (see
Which built-in .NET cryptography algorithm is the most secure).

How external users can upload files in document library hosted in onpremise SharePoint?

Hi all,
We have setup a document library(DL) in SharePoint site hosed on-premise with no direct access from public zone/internet being an intranet solution. We have some external users who need to upload some files that needs to go in this document
library. These files are quite confidential in nature so security is a prime requirement. Following are the couple of options I have in mind:
1. External users upload their file in their designated folder to secure FTP using their own credential set. And also there is a background process (kind of directory watcher) that keep looking at the all the folders
and moves the files to document library
2. We host a single page application which has One time password (OTP) kind of feature. External user comes to the secure site to specify Vendor team name and mobile number. OTP is generated and user is asked to specify the password along with file
they would like to upload. This page also maps the vendor name with respective folder in DL and moves the files to SharePoint there on the fly.
Pls. share your opinion about these approaches. Also welcome your thoughts if there is any other better option.
Thanks.

Hi,
I agree with the Margriet, the first option is simple and safe, the users could not access the document library directly.
For security, it is an importance for users not access the document library directly, it will reduce the risk of the documents in the library.
Thanks,
Jason

Need to open CAD files - SAP Visual Enterprise Generator

Hi Experts,
We have got a requirement where they should be able to open CAD files in SAP (i.e SAP ECC6.0 EHP6).
Can this is acheived with SAP Visual Enterprise Generator ?
If yes, kindly suggest if it comes as an ABAP Add-on that can be deployed or a Business Function which can be activated to enable this functionality ?
Many Thanks in Advance !!!
Regards,
Srikanth G

Hi Fergal,
Thanks for the quick response..
As per the Installation Guide we understand that SAP VEG is another standalone component that has to be installed(correct me if am wrong) in another WIN machine. But we are actually looking out for something like the below where in one of our IDES system we are able to view CAD files stored in DMS in a SAP Transaction (cv04n):
In SPRO we could see some options for VEG in our IDES system.
We need the same in our actual project ECC system
The above can be achieved only after SAP VEG 7.1 installation only ? Or is it something which is already a part of ECC6.0 EHP6 that needs to be activated?
Thanks !!!
Regards,
Srikanth

Can't open Acrobat pdf files in document library - SBS 2011

I've uploaded some Acrobat PDF files to a document library in the companyweb (SharePoint 2010 Foundation website) on SBS 2011. But if I click on one of them in the standard view, acrobat opens and displays a message “The URL you have provided could not be
reached. Please verify that the URL is correct and that the network location is reachable.” I'm using Acrobat Reader XI 11.0.2 and Internet Explorer 10.
I have tried a few suggested solutions, eg to edit the docicon.xml file to include <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>, check that the WebClient service is running, and
Use Remote Interfaces permission is set on the SharePoint site. But no luck.
I don't know if this is a problem with SBS 2011, or Acrobat, or Internet Explorer. Interestingly the pdf opens OK in Chrome. It looks like it is trying to edit the document instead of open it in the acrobat reader.
Anyone know of a solution?

I have found one possible solution. In my case the site was brought into Sharepoint Foundation 2010 as a migrated site from a previous SBS installation.
The site was imported as http://servername and the IIS site had a host header with companyweb so that users could browse to it, and all references to the site were as http://companyweb
All my attempts to open the PDFs were using the http://companyweb URL.
I was researching the issue and had gone through everything, but one thing got me thinking when some sites suggested that I look at the permissive or strict browser file open settings. I looked at the web application and it was set to http://servername in
the Central Administration site. I thought hmm let's try opening the Adobe PDF docs with that URL instead, and it worked!
So I changed the web application URL to http://companyweb and tried again and hey presto it's now working.
I really hope this helps someone, it took me a good couple of hours of my day researching to find the solution here.
Some extra info: we are using Adobe Reader 11.0.6 with IE11. Testing with Firefox worked, but that opens the document by downloading it locally and then using Adobe Reader. fix The above actually resolves the problem, it's nothing to do with permissive or strict
file open settings, I set the SP site back to strict and PDFs still open fine.

Hi siddiaqli,
When the user edit the excel file, whether other users also edit it.
Please try to enable Check-out/Check-in in the library, then test again, compare the result.
You can enable Check Out/In as Library settings->Versioning settings->Require Check out.
In addition, please create a new excel file in the library, and test again, compare the result.
Please create a new library, and create a new excel file in the new library, test again, compare the result.

Create excel file in document library from the data in datatable

Hi ,
I want to generate files dynamically and have then saved to my documetn library instead of some location on the harddisk.
I want to generate and excel file which will read data from the sharepoint list.
Form that data excel will be genereated in the code ,and i want the generated excel directly available in the document library.
I could use open xml of excel itneroperablity for the excel file generation.
How can i do that.

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to gather data from a SharePoint list as an excel file and upload it to a Document Library.
As you said, you can generate an Excel file using the Open XML SDK, I will provide some information about how to get data from SharePoint list and how to upload files
to a Document Library.
About the retrieving data from a SharePoint list, we can use SharePoint Object Model:
