SharePoint Office 365 development
We want to do some POC on SharePoint Office 365 development so that with same expertise later we can develop for our customer. Here I have few question on this:
Can we use SharePoint Office 365 development for Farm level deployment ?
Or SharePoint Office 365 is used exclusively for development of Apps ?
Is Napa tool necessary for Farm level solution? (I know it is required for Apps development)
Basically we want to develop farm solution not any apps, can we use SharePoint Office 365 for this?
Can we develop office 365 application in a virtual machine without any internet connection i.e. without connecting to the web or Microsoft online?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Answers for your questions
1. Can we use SharePoint Office 365 development for Farm level deployment ?
Answer : No. Only Sandbox
2. SharePoint Office 365 is used exclusively
for development of Apps?
Answer : No. It also supports for .Wsp with some restrictions on code
3. Napa
tool necessary for Farm level solution?
Answer: Office 365 doesn't support Farm Solution.
Apps only run in different context or web.

Help Needed with getting Started With Office 365 Development C# Rest API
We have a O365 Tenant Setup with a Federated Active Directory Setip we want to be able to right code that will connect to our tenant and perform basic CRUD operations against it (ex. Creating mail boxes)
The problem is we want this to be contained in a CLR trigger In SQL so say if a new user is added to our user table then we would create a new AD account for that user and also create a mailbox.
But I cannot find and example on how to connect to Office 365 using the REST API (Not the SDK because you can not add the connected service to a class library) and before the required actions that we need to do. All the example I have found are with the
SDK API and/or require window 8 and that is also not an option.
Please help I do not know where to start, and I would love to see some examples done in c# and not using the SDK.
Thanks,
Andrew DayHi,
>> Instead of SharePoint URLs I would use the O365 API URL?
Yes, in my sample code, I was accessing the File resource by using the O365 File API. In your case, you need to acquire the token to access the Mail resource and use O365 Mail API.
By the way, I think the article
Understand Office 365 app authentication concepts will help you to understand the authentication process in Office 365 Development.
>> Why can I not use the SDK API with a class Library?
Actually, you are able to reference the Office 365 .NET SDK in the class Library. But the class library project type was not supported by Visual Studio Office 365 Development Tool. As a workaround,
you can reference the SDK manually in your project.
Since your original question is about “getting started with Office 365 Development C# Rest API”, if you have more questions about the Office 365 SDK, I will suggest you posting a new thread
to discuss the Office 365 SDK. It will involve more other community members to share their ideas and experience on a specific a question and for others who had a similar question could also find the valuable information quickly.

Office 365 Developer Subscription from my MSDN subscription not activating
Hi,
I have a "Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN" subscription. As part of the subscription is the bundled "Office 365 Developer Subscription". I tried to activate the subscription 3 months ago but it failed with some temporary error. Now if I
try to reactivate the subscription, it says
"It’s no longer offered by Microsoft.
You’ve already tried this service. You can sign up for a trial only once.
The beta or trial you’re requesting has expired.
The promotion code has already been used."
How do I avail the benefit of the subscription?
Thanks & Regards,

http://www.bushel.inHi Cindy,
I have already called the support helpline there 3 times and it was of no use. (My company is based in India and our experience for MSDN support here hasn't been that good compared to US support).
I got to this forum here via link on "MSDN TroubleShooting and Support" page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/hh361695.aspx)
Anyway, I see that this is not the right place, I will look elsewhere.
Thanks

Why don't some users have option File SharePoint/Office 365 Server Check In?
All team members have the same permissions in SharePoint. We can all check a doc out in SharePoint. Some of us then have an option on the File menu in Acrobat that says "SharePoint/Office 365 Server" with a "Check In" option under that. Some team members do not have that option.
How can we fix this so that everyone has the ability to easily check in an update to SharePoint?
Cheryl BowsherHi Cheryl,
Check version of Acrobat of all users, it should be same and updated, i.e. 11.0.6
Does your user get "Check In" option through web browser?
What is the version of SharePoint you are using and what is the exact workflow?

Possible ways to connect SharePoint Office 365 to External databases
Hi,
Is there a way we can connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases and also is it possible for these databases to feed data to SharePoint Office 365 rather than SharePoint pulling the data from these databases.
ThanksHi,
As far as I know, it is not feasible to connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases by OOTB. But you can consider deploying the Business Connectivity Services (BCS) which can access data from WCF Data Services and SQL Server Azure Connectors.
Also you can consider three part tools.
For more information, you can have a look at the thread:

Trying to access SharePoint / Office 365 Server options from the browser
When I use the Open With Explorer view of a SharePoint library and open a document from there, I am prompted to Check Out & Open (or just open) the file. And then from the open file, under the File menu, I have an option for SharePoint / Office 365 Server, to check the file back in and/or to update Document Properties. This is the exact functionality I am looking for. My question is, why don't I have this option when I open the PDF in one of these scenarios:
direct from the browser (within SharePoint)
from a synced library
outside of SharePoint (i.e. from the Desktop)Seems like a good question for a SharePoint user forum.

Hello everybody from Italy.
As stated on the subject, I'd like to develop some solutions for my Office 365's SharePoint site.
I'm absolutely new to Visual Studio usage, too :-)
I downloaded and installed VS Community 2013 and SharePoint 2013 SDK (along with ... but still no luck, VS keeps saying that I need to have SharePoint installed locally in order to develop solutions for SharePoint.
What now?
F. Simonetti - UNIX Sysadmin - Sharepoint learnerOk, I managed to:
remove the "somewhat offending" custom list (I'll add it later after realizing what I was doing wrong)
create one custom list without any specific feature (I called it List1)
create another list based on Contacts, kept absolutely default (called List2)
build&deploy the app
Ok, now the "app" is there (on my devel environment), doing absolutely nothing (because I didn't create any form or page or whatever). But I have a Contact list! I should be able to sync it to Outlook desktop!
This page helped me to understand how I can reach the list created inside the app (https://devtenant.sharepoint.com/AppName/Lists/List2)
... but I had a bad surprise: no option to sync the Contact list with my Outlook desktop application. This remains true even after having activated the "Offline Synchronization for External Lists" feature inside Site Settings/Site Features menu.
So, the Contact-like list inside the app has lost about 80% of interest... not being able to sync it with Outlook is a severe limitation. I'm assuming that every list created inside an app will suffer of the same problem, is it true?
By the way, how I'm supposed, after having eventually finished my work on the app, to install it on the "real" work environment, that is completely unrelated to the development site (being the "work" site a mere "Business
Premium" Subscription)?
I tried to deploy the app to the "non devel" site with no luck: VS says that the destination site is not configured for sideloading apps.
Many thanks in advance, Ashish.

Email enabled lists/libraries in SharePoint Office 365
very specific question about SharePoint in Office 365. Can you have email enabled lists? That is, a SharePoint list or document library with an email address that enables incoming email. This is a feature in on-premise SharePoint. I
need to know if it is available in Office 365 and under which plans.

New-PSDrive to SharePoint Office 365
How can I create a New-PSDrive to an instance of Office 365 over WebDAV?
I know I can do it by using the map network drive in the Windows Shell (then specyfing connect to Web site).
Just passing -Credentials into New-PsDrive does not work, I believe because Office 365 requires passing SAML tokens.
Please help.
Thx,
AdamThere is a comprehensive example of drive mapping to Office 365 with Powershell including the automation of Internet Explorer to perform the authentication here

Can't create a new list in Sharepoint - Office 365
I am trying to connect to our intranet (Office 365) and create a new list and forms.
Whether creating a new list or customizing a current list, I get this message when I'm in the Data Connection wizard:
The operation could not be completed.
Details = The SOAP message could not be parsed.
For the location of my site I'm using https://companyname.sharepoint.com
Is there configuration that I need to ask our admin about? Is this possible with a hosted site?

Best Approach for Sharepoint/Office 365 Solution?
Hello there,
I have been asked to develop a new solution involving SharePoint Online. I know a bit about SharePoint but have not done any development with it as of yet. I need to understand the best approach to take (e.g. WebPart, Separate Web Application, something
else?)
In my opinion, the "application" needs are a bit complex. the solution must be hosted in the Cloud (most likely on Azure or within SharePoint if possible)
It needs to meet the following objectives:
Consume data from a SQL Server database (proprietary, no api available), on premises
Manipulate/Read SharePoint Lists
Launch Workflows
Provide seamless authentication (Users log into the SharePoint online service, must not have to log into a separate app)
Support additional database functionality (e.g. I will have my own tables, sps in SQL, that will be needed) and a UI for users to interact with the custom tables.
Some concerns I have from reading articles is that some functionality is restricted using the SharePoint online platform.
Any input on a viable approach would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
CoryYou will want to implement a provider hosted app. A provider hosted app gives you the ability to host your app on a trusted server where you can have your own database. You can also communicate back into SharePoint using CSOM to manipulate lists and launch
workflows. The authentication will flow through from SharePoint Online to your app using OAuth authentication. Some links to help you below:
