Sharepoint 2010 unextend web application - sharepoint

I am trying to unextend a web application.
First i tried this code:
getWebApp.IisSettings.Remove(SPUrlZone.Internet);
It is working fine but not deleting the IIS website or physical folder of this extended web app. So i started to delete IIS website manually by using the following code:
int instID = getWebApp.IisSettings[SPUrlZone.Internet].PreferredInstanceId;
SPIisWebSite iisWebSite = new SPIisWebSite(instID);
iisWebSite.Unprovision();
or:
ServerManager iisManager = new ServerManager();
Site s1 = iisManager.Sites["MySiteName - 1234"]; // you can pass the site name or the site ID
iisManager.Sites.Remove(s1);
iisManager.CommitChanges();
IIS website is not getting deleted.
Any help?

You can do this without code. In SharePoint 2010, all you need to do is go to Central Administration, Manage Web Application, select your application, select the drop down below the 'Delete' button and select 'Remove SharePoint from IIS web site'. Select your extended site, then also be sure to select 'Yes' to delete the site from IIS.

SPWebApplication getWebApp = GetWebAppById(GlobalVar._webAppId);
getWebApp.IisSettings.Remove(SPUrlZone.Internet);
getWebApp.Update();
Directory.Delete(GlobalVar._exWebAppPhyPath, true);
ServerManager iisManager = new ServerManager();
Site getSite = iisManager.Sites[GlobalVar._webAppExtendedName];
iisManager.Sites.Remove(getSite);
iisManager.CommitChanges();
getWebApp.Update();
getWebApp.Provision();

Get the SharePoint URL for a Team Project programmatically

I want to find out by coding if a given Team Project has an associated SharePoint. If yes I also want to get the URL for the SharePoint in order to create a specific link to it.
I do not mean the web access of the TFS but the associated SharePoint. Is there a way to find this out without knowing the URL of the SharePoint server that is different from the TFS server?
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Server;
private static string RetrieveProjectPortalBaseAddress(TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs, string teamProject)
{
IRegistration registration = (IRegistration)tfs.GetService(typeof(IRegistration));
RegistrationEntry[] entries = registration.GetRegistrationEntries("TeamProjects");
ServiceInterface endpoint = entries[0].ServiceInterfaces.FirstOrDefault(si => si.Name == teamProject + ":Portal");
return endpoint.Url;
}

IIS reverses web site settings when stopping

I have an issue with configuring IIS. I programmatically create a web site and an application (virtual dir) under the web site. Among other settings, I add a wildcard application map in the applications settings. When IIS is restarted, it removes the wilcard application map (and some other settings, but I just mention the wilcard map for simplicity). I can re-add the map, using IIS manager, but when I restart IIS, the map is removed. BUT - if I add the wildcard map and then, without restarting IIS, use a browser first to hit a page in that application, then any subsequent IIS restarts do not cause the map to disappear. Any idea what's going on?
here's my code:
// root virtual dir object
string strRootVirtDirPath = "IIS://localhost/w3svc/" + strWebSiteID + "/root";
DirectoryEntry deRootVirtDir = new DirectoryEntry(strRootVirtDirPath);
// add new virtual dir
DirectoryEntry deNewVirtDir = deRootVirtDir.Children.Add(strAppName, "IIsWebVirtualDir");
deNewVirtDir.Properties["Path"].Value = strPhysicalDir;
deNewVirtDir.Properties["AppFriendlyName"].Value = strAppName;
deNewVirtDir.Properties["AppRoot"].Value = "/LM/W3SVC/" + strWebSiteID + "/Root/" + strAppName;
deNewVirtDir.Properties["AppPoolId"].Value = strAppPoolName;
// create the application
deNewVirtDir.Invoke("AppCreate", 1);
// commit changes
deNewVirtDir.CommitChanges();
deRootVirtDir.CommitChanges();
deNewVirtDir.Close();
deRootVirtDir.Close();
Figured out the problem. It's described in Microsoft's KB article 286196: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286196
All my affected machines were Windows Server 2K3 R2 just like described in the article.

Collaboration portal approval workflow

The company I work for has recently taken over a SharePoint 2007 project form another company. The other company created a site using the Collaboration Portal Publishing template. Since this is an internet web site, this is causing me a couple of problems.
By default the approval workflow is not activated on the Pages Libraries of the site, and the client requires the workflow to be active on all of the Pages Libraries. The problem is that the site is massive, and doing this manually will take too long, and because it’s such a large site I can’t recreate it from scratch.
Is there a way I can activate the approval workflow on all the Pages Libraries of the site? Could I maybe change something in the site definition? Or is there a way to activate it programmatically? Then I could create a console app that will recursively iterate through the sites and attach the workflow to the Pages Libraries?
Your can try with this code :
using (MossFramework.DocumentLibraryHelper docLibraryHelper = new MossFramework.DocumentLibraryHelper("SITENAME"))
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(docLibraryHelper.MossSiteAddress))
{
SPWeb siteCollection = site.OpenWeb();
siteCollection.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPFolder folder = siteCollection.GetFolder("Document Centre");
SPList list = siteCollection.Lists["Document Centre"];
Guid wfBaseId = new Guid("{5703E6AC-1C65-440F-88DC-EB65F2C6DF82}");
SPWorkflowAssociation wrkFl = list.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByBaseID(wfBaseId);
foreach (SPListItem spListItem in list.Items)
{
site.WorkflowManager.StartWorkflow(spListItem, wrkFl, wrkFl.AssociationData);
// Error occurs here
}
site.Close();
}
}

WSS 3.0 Site Provisioning

Is there any way to do WSS 3.0 site provisioning? My client's requirement is attributes as variables that will be defined in XML format: Organization Name, Logo, Address, User and Role information. The client should be able to install this web application to any WSS production server by just defining the attributes in the XML file.
Is it possible to to write a utility to parse that well defined XML and provision the site accordingly?
It's possible to provision sites from the object model, but creating entirely customized sites is beyond the scope of a single question. To get you started, you should take a look at the SPWebCollection.Add as well as the SPSiteCollection.Add.
To create a site collection and some subsites into one of your web applications, you could use something like this:
var farm = SPFarm.Local;
var solution = farm.Solutions.GetValue<SPSolution>("YourSolution.wsp");
var application = solution.DeployedWebApplications.First();
var sites = application.Sites;
using(var site = sites.Add("/", "Root Site", "Description", 1033, "YOURTEMPLATE#1", "YOURDOMAIN\SiteCollectionAdmin", "Site Collection Admin", "admin#yourcompany.example")) {
using(var rootWeb = site.RootWeb) {
// Code customizing root site goes here
using (var subSite = rootWeb.Webs.Add("SubSite", "Sub Site", "Description", 1033, "YOURTEMPLATE#2", false, false)) {
// Code customizing sub site goes here
}
}
}
Yes, there are more than one.
Take a look at SharePoint Solution Generator which is in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Tools: Visual Studio 2005 Extensions.
You may create a site with all requirements of yours (pages, lists, document libraries...) and then generate a VS project that will create a SharePoint feature with all of your site. Then you may deploy that feature to any WSS production server.
You may alter the VS project to implement the logic to read your attributes from an additional xml file.
If the structure of your site is plain or you can save it as a template you may also write a small console application that reads the attribute xml file and create the site.
Create a regular solution, or use the aforementioned solution generator to generate the .wsp file. Then create a small console application, that expects the variables you mentioned as parameters.
With the code listed above, provision the new sitecollection from that solution, and store the entered parameters (Company name etc.) in the site in a list, or in the SPSite.Properties propertybag, from which you can then read them in custom webparts etc..
The SharePoint Data Population Tool available on CodePlex allows you to define sites with XML.

How to Create a Managed Path through SharePoint Object Model

This is a question for a WSS/SharePoint guru.
Consider this scenario: I have an ASP.Net web service which links our corporate CRM system and WSS-based intranet together. What I am trying to do is provision a new WSS site collection whenever a new client is added to the CRM system. In order to make this work, I need to programmatically add the managed path to the new site collection. I know that this is possible via the Object Model, but when I try it in my own web service, it fails. Sample code extract below:
Dim _ClientSiteUrl As String = "http://myintranet/clients/sampleclient"
Using _RootWeb As SPSite = New SPSite("http://myintranet")
Dim _ManagedPaths As SPPrefixCollection = _RootWeb.WebApplication.Prefixes
If Not (_ManagedPaths.Contains(_ClientSiteUrl)) Then
_ManagedPaths.Add(_ClientSiteUrl, SPPrefixType.ExplicitInclusion)
End If
End Using
This code fails with a NullReferenceException on SPUtility.ValidateFormDigest(). Research suggested that this may be due to insufficient privileges, I tried running the code within an elevated privileges block using SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(AddressOf AddManagedPath), where AddManagedPath is a Sub procedure containing the above code sample.
This then fails with an InvalidOperationException, "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object."
Where am I going wrong?
One workaround I have managed to do is to call out to STSADM.EXE via Process.Start(), supplying the requisite parameters, and this works.
Update: whilst developing the web service, I am running it using the built-in Visual Studio 2005 web server - what security context will this be running under? Can I change the security context by putting entries in web.config?
Update: I think the problem is definitely to do with not running the web service within the correct SharePoint security context. I decided to go with the workaround I suggested and shell out to STSADM, although to do this, the application pool identity that the web service runs under must be a member of the SharePoint administrators.
Update
I think you have proved that the issue is not with the code.
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges: Normally the code in the SharePoint web application executes with the privileges of the user taking the action. The RunWithElevatedPrivileges runs the code in the context of the SharePoint web application pools account (i think)
The description on MSDN could go into the details a tiny bit more.
The issue with the call may be that the web service is not actually running the code within a SharePoint process, so explaining why it cannot elevate (wild guess alert).
Have a crack at changing the user of your web services application pool and see if that gives any joy.
It is likely to be a permissions issue.
Maybe try:
Dim clientSiteUrl As String = "http://myintranet/clients/sampleclient"
Using SPSite = new SPSite(clientSiteUrl)
webApp As SPWebApplication = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri(clientSiteUrl));
If Not (webApp.Prefixes.Contains(clientSiteUrl)) Then
webApp.Prefixes.Add(clientSiteUrl, SPPrefixType.ExplicitInclusion)
End If
End Using
This is not exact code.
Since the above code is not the exact code, here is the exact working code for a Web Application scopped feature in the Feature Activated event:
On feature activation at the Mange web application features page, activate feature will create a new Explicit managed path in the specified web application (I want to replace the hard coding, maybe with Properties.Feature.Parent, or something similar.)
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://dev-moss07-eric/PathHere")) {
SPWebApplication webApp = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri("http://dev-moss07-eric"));
if (webApp.Prefixes.Contains("PathHere"))
{
//
}
else
{
webApp.Prefixes.Add("PathHere", SPPrefixType.ExplicitInclusion);
}
}
Code can probably be improved, but its my attempt at converting the above code.
If you want to create a managed path (explicit) and a site collection at that path, do the following:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://dev-moss07-eric")) {
SPWebApplication webApp = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri("http://dev-moss07-eric"));
if (webApp.Prefixes.Contains("ManagedPathHere"))
{
//
}
else
{
webApp.Prefixes.Add("ManagedPathHere", SPPrefixType.ExplicitInclusion);
}
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
SPWebApplication webApplication = web.Site.WebApplication;
try
{
webApplication.Sites.Add("ManagedPathHere","Site Title Here","This site is used for hosting styling assets.", 1033, "STS#1", "6scdev\\eric.schrader", "Eric Schrader", "eric.schrader#6sc.com");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//ex.ToString;
}
}
}
