Update web part properties programatically

Earlier in MOSS 2007, we used SPWebPartCollection objects to modify the web part properties through code. But now it is obsolete.
Now we have a new class called SPLimitedWebPartManager which we can use to do the same thing.

I have created a Visual web part with a button. On click of this button, we will make a page viewer web part show the www.google.com page.

Below shown is the code


The code will loop through all the web parts in the page where this web part is added and check for a web part with title Page Viewer. When a match is found, it will update the ContentLink property of it and reload the page for the changes to be observed.

You can use the above code for any web part by casting it to an appropriate type

Create web part pages with custom layouts in SharePoint 2010

SharePoint provides web part pages with eight layouts by default. Unfortunately the process of creating web part pages with custom layouts is a little complex.

Go to http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/customspcf  and download the wsp file with the name CustomSPCF.wsp Deploy the solution. This will deploy an application page at /_layouts/customspcf/customspcf.aspx It will add four web part page layouts at 14\Template\1033\Sts\Doctemp\Smartpgs\CustomSPCF\ and four images corresponding to the layout at 14\Template\Images\CustomSPCF\ The below image shows how the application page will look like You can customize the application page and replace the deployed custom layouts or add new layouts.

Create a Custom Timer Job in SharePoint 2010

Image
I had to create a custom timer job in SharePoint 2010 recently, but could not find a blog which explained the complete procedure to do this. So I decided to write one. In this post I will give a step by step process to create a Custom timer job in SharePoint 2010 using Visual Studio 2010. Timer jobs are created by extending the SPJobDefinition class and deployed as features. So we will create a class which extends the SPJobDefinition class. Then we will create a feature and we will handle the featureActivated() event of that feature. In that we will instantiate the class created. Let us see how to do all this. Create an empty SharePoint project in VS 2010. Give the Site Collection URL where you want this feature will be activated. Create a class in the project.   Add these namespaces using Microsoft.SharePoint; using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration; class MyTimerJob : SPJobDefinition { public MyTimerJob() : base () { } public MyTimerJob( SPWebApplic

SharePoint list forms display HTML instead of rendering

Image
I have recently come across a problem where a custom list form i created using SharePoint designer was displaying the HTML directly instead of rendering it. As shown above the HTML for the Assigned To column value is not being rendered. To overcome this you just have to add a simple property to you XSLT. Select the HTML that is displayed and go to the code view. You will see the statement as <xsl:value-of select="@Assigned TO"></xsl:value-of> To this you have to add a parameter called display-output-escaping <xsl:value-of select="@Assigned TO" display-output-escaping="yes"></xsl:value-of> As you can see, this time the HTML is rendered properly.
