Dear reader,
you probably know how it is spend a lot of time on one design issue and then you find solution.
Do not confuse yourself with google with SharePoint 2007/2010 stuff like:
.ms-WPTitle nobr { white-space: normal !important; }
or
.ms-WPHeaderTD nobr { word-wrap: break-word !important; white-space: wrap !important; }
The SharePoint 2013 working version:
.ms-webpart-titleText nobr span {white-space:normal !important;}
I hope it helps!
Having a great patience with SharePoint 2013
Hello dear reader,
I hope you are excited as I am. The new SharePoint 2013 certification for developers are out!
Today we can see, whole certification path for SharePoint developers. The new title is
It contains two ways, one for front-end and one for back-end:
Frond-end contain:
(syllabus)
Back-end contain:
(syllabus)
(syllabus)
The last two are still in development, but I hope it will be available some beta exams.
I hope this information make you happier!
Hello all,
Today I have survived the huge confusion, I wanted create a simple server side functionality for search on SharePoint 2013. Please look on following code which was mentioned not working with exception:
Your search cannot be completed because no Search service is available. Contact your administrator for more information.
I thought what is that? What can I do? I have checked central admin, all seem to be right, I have tried google, someone said in case of SharePoint 2010, it’s broken. Ok I have recreated search service application, and it was still there.
In the first time I saw that KeywordQuery is marked as obsolete with nice message “This class is obsolete now. It will be totally removed in O16 codebase and should not be used in new applications.”. I thought fine this is not version O16, they just try to scare us, but no this object doesn’t work at all!
After more digging and searching I found the solution, I have used all time this wrong assembly. The updated class for using search functionality is Microsoft.Office.Search.Query, they removed word Office from product but still is heavily using in API.(as you can see my previous post about client side query there is used KeywordQuery from Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.Query which was even more questionable).
The solution is just replace these assemblies and be careful which assembly you are going to reference to your solution:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Query;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://siteUrl/"))
{
KeywordQuery keywordQuery = new KeywordQuery(siteCollection);
keywordQuery.QueryText = "PopulateNewFields";
SearchExecutor searchExecutor = new SearchExecutor();
ResultTableCollection resultTableCollection =
searchExecutor.ExecuteQuery(keywordQuery);
var resultTables = resultTableCollection.Filter("TableType",
KnownTableTypes.RelevantResults);
var resultTable = resultTables.FirstOrDefault();
DataTable dataTable = resultTable.Table;
foreach (DataRow resultRow in dataTable.Rows)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}", resultRow["Title"]);
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
I hope it helps, if you have any queries just let me know.
Happy coding!
Today I have found nice way how to search on your SharePoint 2013 Online, and it is easy clean and nice. I won’t describe in more detail, just show you one little example which I hope it helps you to broaden your awareness about new SharePoint 2013 Search.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string targetSite = @"https://xxx.sharepoint.com/";
string loginName = "bbb@aaa.onmicrosoft.com";
string passWord = "ccc";
//we need use SecureString
SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();
passWord.ToCharArray().ToList().ForEach(c => securePassword.AppendChar(c));
using (ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext(targetSite))
{
//new approach how to use your SharePoint Online Credentials
ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(loginName, securePassword);
KeywordQuery keywordQry = new KeywordQuery(ctx);
//query string
keywordQry.QueryText = "Test";
SearchExecutor searchExecutor = new SearchExecutor(ctx);
//don't forget to wrap with ClientResult and call ExecuteQuery
ClientResult results = searchExecutor.ExecuteQuery(keywordQry);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (var resultRow in results.Value[0].ResultRows)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}", resultRow["Title"]);
//for more colums to uncomment
//Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1} ({2})", resultRow["Title"], resultRow["Path"], resultRow["Write"]);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Next just proven that gives you the correct results:
Finnally if you want to use this approach for your SharePoint 2013 instance, just omit the credential line.
Let’s get searching!
This article will hopefully save your day. If you are JavaScript beginner, by having read this article, you might find it enlightening and might help you removing confusion which I was going through when registering events on my HTML elements.
One of the most powerful JavaScript keyword is ‘this’. Unfortunately it is hard to use it if you don’t exactly know how it works.
Here we will be going via more approaches how to deal with ‘this’ keyword and where all that confusion comes up.
What does ‘this’ refer to in the function doSomething()?
function doSomething() {
this.style.color = '#cc0000';
}
In JavaScript ‘this’ always refers to the owner of the function we are executing, or rather, to the object that a function is a method of. When we define our faithful function doSomething() in a page, its owner is the page, or rather, the window object(or global object) of JavaScript. An onclick property though, is owned by the HTML element it belongs to.
‘this’ in onclick() function looks at HTML element
‘this’ in unattended function looks at page
So if we want to use ‘this’ to its full extent we have to take care that the function that uses it is owned by the correct HTML element. In other words, we have to copy the function to our onclick property. For this purpose we are using event registration model.
element.onclick = doSomething;
The function is copied in its entirely to the onclick property which now becomes a method. So if the event handler is executed ‘this’ referes to the HTML element and its colour has changed.
However, If you use inline event registration
<element onclick="doSomething()">
You do not copy the function! Instead, you refer to it, and the difference is crucial. The onclick property does not contain the actual function, but merely a functional call:
doSomething();
So it says ‘go to doSomething()’ and execute it. When we arrive at doSomething() the ‘this’ keyword once again refers to the global window object and the function returns error messages.
If you want to use ‘this’ for accessing the HTML element that is handling the event, you must make sure that the ‘this’ keyword is actually written into the onclick property. Only in that case does it refer to the HTML element the event handler is registered to. When you write
element.onclick = doSomething;
you get
function doSomething(){
this.style.colr='#cc0000';
}
and when you write
<element onclick="doSomething()">
you get
function onclick(){
doSomething();
}
When using inline event registration you can also send ‘this’ to the function so that you can still use it:
<element onclick="doSomething(this)">
function doSomething(obj) {
//this is present in the event handler and is sent to the function
//obj now refers to the HTML element, so we can do
obj.style.color='#cc0000';
}
Finally just keep on your mind two questions:
I hope this helps you to understand the problem and avoid that with smile:)
Hello all,
Today I have spent a large amount of time to solve this issue. Let me describe my solution in points:
I have tried to apply this approach:
window.onload = function(){
var treeview = document.getElementById("<%=Tree1.ClientID %>");
var treeLinks = treeview.getElementsByTagName("a");
for(i=0;i<treeLinks.length;i++)
{
if(treeLinks[i].firstChild.tagName != "IMG")
{
treeLinks[i].setAttribute("href","javascript:void(0);");
treeLinks[i].onclick =function(){
TreeView_SelectNode(<%=Tree1.ClientID %>_Data,this,this.id.toString());
}
}
}
}
Gathering information from this forum.
My solution is below:
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
ClientScriptManager csm = this.Page.ClientScript;
string clientScript = @"
window.onload = function(){
var treeview = document.getElementById('" + treeView.ClientID + @"');
var treeLinks = treeview.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(i=0;i<treeLinks.length;i++)
{
if(treeLinks[i].firstChild.tagName != 'IMG')
{
treeLinks[i].setAttribute('href','javascript:void(0);');
treeLinks[i].onclick =function(){
var parent = this.parentNode;
var input = parent.getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
var isChecked = input.getAttribute('checked');
if(isChecked == '') {
input.setAttribute('checked','checked');
}
else {
input.removeAttribute('checked');
}
}
}
}
}
";
csm.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), this.ID, clientScript, true);
base.OnPreRender(e);
}
I hope it helps !
In this post I will reference official resource for learning and preparing for exam. Also this is study material for me as well. I have spent such a great time to compare other’s preparation links and choose the right one which according to me fulfil the best expectation of new knowledge.
A few words about my knowledge of HTML5/CSS3, I’m not front-end developer I have been trying to prevent to be person who is responsible for design or style of web pages. But time has changed and now I change my mind and force myself to learn it more. Clearly I have a lot of experience with them anyway, I have developed SharePoint applications for four years, last thing which mostly support my decision is SharePoint 2013, as you can see in my latest posts on this topic. One official huge thank you I should to say guys who created video course about in Microsoft Virtual Academy or if you don’t have account you can look on channel9. Also they showed on nice HTML5 application called CodeShow.

For those who are preferring book instead of reading web source, I have found a few books which are covering most of this content. They are listed below:
I assume that all for resource of this exam, I hope it will help you. I’m using these resources and books for a while now. I will report you my result in exam. Until that point keep learning.
This is my first metion about F#, I’m not going to write more, just show you I have started paying attention on this language and functional programming as well.
What’s the F# Koans?
Big thank you Chris Marinos.
