SPCalendarView in custom Webpart

Hi!
I created a custom webpart where I use dropdown list and set SPCalendarView datasource with custom filter from the selected DropDown value.
The filter is works good. My problem is, how can I set the "Add new Event" to this SPCalendarView?
Please help!
Thanks,
Mykie

using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(""))
SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("Calendar");
if (list != null)
SPListItem item = list.Items.Add();
item["Title"] = "New Event";
item["Description"] = "New Event";
item["Location"] = "room1";
item["Start Time"] = DateTime.Now;

Excel data read from users and upload in to Oracle DB using custom webpart

Hi Team,
I need to get the excel date from user using file upload control and read the data from the excel using custom webpart and validate the each rows whether having the values or not and need to upload the data to the oracle database.
Can you please let me know the best approach to read the data from excel using sharepoint custom webpart.
Thanks,
Mylsamy

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read excel data from the uploaded file and insert the data into Oracle Database.
The following way for your reference:
1.Create a Visual Web Part using Visual Studio.
2. Add an asp.net upload control into the .ascx file.
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" onclick="btnUpload_Click" Text="Upload" />
</div>
3. Add some logic methods into .ascx.cs file.
protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//read data and insert the data into Oracle database.
4.We can create a web service for adding data to Oracle database, then consume this web service in the visual web part.

Access denied error on updating list through custom webpart

hi
I have created one webpart having multiple view option.
On selection of items from one view user is clicking on next button to get 2nd view (THis is causing postback) and on selection of 2nd view items user is clicking on next buton for 3rd view.
On third view he can see the submit button. On click on submit button the selected items are updateing in one list and also updating data in other lists.
The list in which we are updating data have limited access to all users. But previously user were able to upate the list.
But after implimenting this multiple view with next button which postbacks on click user are getting access denied error while updating the list. If i provide contribute access to that list then they able to submit the changes properly. But even after
that they got the error at first time.
Any body got this type of issue?
Is the post back on custom webpart cause access denied error?
i have written my code like this to updat list,
protected void btnUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
try
SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.ID);
SPWeb myWeb = site.OpenWeb(SPContext.Current.Web.ID);
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
using (SPSite ElevatedSite = new SPSite(site.ID))
using (SPWeb ElevatedWeb = ElevatedSite.OpenWeb(myWeb.ID))
ElevatedSite.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
ElevatedWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
//code to update multiple lists
catch (Exception ex)
Please suggest any solution for this.

Yes I checked with ULS log viewer.
Its very helpfull as reading that text log file is very difficuelt.
I found that if user spend more time on that webpart then session veriables on that webpart gets expired and at the time of redirection of user to newly created list using below code currentNewList becomes empty and its redirection to wrong list(_abc) which
is dummy list and user dont have any access.
currentNewList = NewListName+ "_abc"
SPUtility.Redirect(currentNewList.DefaultViewUrl, SPRedirectFlags.Default, HttpContext.Current);
So I modified the code to reload the session data when user clisk on submit button.

Issue in rendering CustomToolpart to select data source for custom webpart..

grid is diplaying as well.But in the toolpart,not in the webpart. I cant seem to segregate the two.There is also a textbox in the toolpart in which the entered text comes in the webpart.But the same approach is failing for the gridview.Please suggest
what to do.
Also,i am failing at making a separate category for the toolpart by specifying [category("List settings")]..Any suggestion as to what i'm doing wrong in that are welcome too.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about the custom web part.
Per my knowledge, we should customize the EditorPart instead of the
ToolPart to bind the lists to the dropdown list.
There is a good article about customizing web part, you can refer to it.

Using CreatedModifiedInfo in custom webpart SharePoint 2013

We've used those lines of code in SharePoint 2010 for a long time and we never had any issues with them. We've created a custom webpart and added the modifiedinfo toolbar to the bottom. Now we've moved our site from SP2010 to a SP2013 while still using SP2010
UI. So we're still in 2010 mode while this problem occurs.
internal static void AddToolBarInfo(this ToolBar toolBar, SPControlMode mode)
info = new CreatedModifiedInfo();
info.ControlMode = mode;
toolBar.Buttons.Controls.Add(info);
The control is added properly but no information are shown inside the toolbar. Somehow not many persons have used this toolbar, so I'm not able to find many informations about it. Since we've never done more than adding the control, I don't know where to
start looking when the control is not properly filled.

Has anyone used the CreatedModifiedInfo before in his code?

Hi,
I assume you are attempting to add this to a standard page layout and not a HTML Page Layout.
My suggestion is that you add your webpart to a standard content page in the browser first. Save the content page and check in / publishing a major version. Now open your site in SPD and navigate to the Pages library. Your content page should be listed.
Right click this content page and "Detach" the page from its page layout. You will receive a warning, ok that.
Once the content page has been detached from the page layout, open the content page in SPD and view the HTML source. Look for your custom webpart in the source. This is the tags / source that you need to add to your custom page layout. You can reattach this
content page to its page layout now if you wish.

Read contents of Pages library and show in custom webpart

Hi,
How to read the contents of "Pages" library (Published pages and custom created pages only and not reading OOB pages)?
I have a publishing site, in which I need to read the "Title" and URL" of the pages which are created by users and show in a custom webpart. If a new page is published, that page data should be added to the webpart.
Is it possible to achieve this? I know of Content Query webpart, but I need to custom create a custom webpart with custom styling. Is it possible to use the logic of content query webpart in a custom visual webpart? How to achieve this programmatically?
Thanks

The process in 2013 is essentially the same as it was in 2010. The only difference is that you don't have to manually add additional fields to the datafields list in the .webpart file. But the .XSL customization is identical. That's why
you won't find many articles on how to do it in 2013. It was already covered in 2010 and hasn't changed. Here is one example from 2013.

Did you have the correct "register" on your application page :

Adding a custom webpart to webpart page not a safe control issue

Unable to add selected web part(s). (Web Part Name): A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported.

Hi,
Here you go. This should help you.
ow many times have you guys faced an issue like this ?"The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe." .To resolve this, make sure that you add safe controls around your web part assembly in web.config.
<SafeControls>
< SafeControl Assembly=”WebPart, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=abcdeddf23232″ Namespace=”Mywebpart.WebPart” TypeName=”*” Safe=”True” />
< /SafeControls>
The above ensure that your web part code is secured and wont let any anonymous users to access the web part.
Happy SharePointing ;-)

Changing the Custom Properties of Custom Webpart in Sharepoint 2013.

Am working on a requirement , where i need to create a quick poll , for that i am using some Third party webpart,
http://www.amrein.com/apps/page.asp?Q=5755 , this is the link of that Polling webpart , where the source code is not available.
Question : where by default we have to open the edit properties of that webpart in UI and then can configure those properties. But am facing a requirement like there should be UI with textboxes ,like in a form view in a page itself , and
after if we could enter those details, guess there is a button in a name " create a poll" ,
So in a click event , i could add this third party webpart to the page and now i need to change the custom properties based on the values we enter in the textboxes , how i can access the custom properties after if i got the instance of the that third
party webpart in a page using splimitedwebpart manager programmatically....??
Any One can guess this scenario...??

Hi,
If you use Third party web part, I suggest you contact the author of this web part to extend some custom requirements.
From your description, my understanding is that you want to create a quick poll.
Here are two solutions from codeplex with the source code for your reference. You can refer to the source code and customize your own solution base on your requirement.

404 error while adding custom webpart to the page

I have my solution working in development environment. I deployed the wsp in prod env. While adding one specific webpart to the page leads to 404 error page.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
boreal123's reply makes sense.
I would say that somewhere in your specific method call a web service, but it cannot find. You can check the related code snippet.
I suggest that you can try to store the url in a webpart property so that it can be modified easily.

Update: i believe the error is with "executeQueryAsync". How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
I suggest you create a simple demo first, once it works, then add other customization into your project gradually. It will be easier to composite the correct code.
Please apply the code below in your project for a try:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("callCSOM");
var clientContext;
var website;
var str="";
// Make sure the SharePoint script file 'sp.js' is loaded before your
// code runs.
function callCSOM()
//alert("call");
$("#Button1").click(function()
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(sharePointReady, "sp.js");
// Create an instance of the current context.
function sharePointReady() {
clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
website = clientContext.get_web();
clientContext.load(website);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onRequestSucceeded, onRequestFailed);
function onRequestSucceeded() {
str="website.get_title(): "+website.get_title();
alert(str);
function onRequestFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Error: ' + args.get_message());
</script>
