how do I create a wiki page and add a title, as well as some content in sharepoint (via webservices)?
This is my SOAP message so far:
<soapenv:Body>
<soap:UpdateListItems>
<soap:listName>Cooking Wiki</soap:listName>
<soap:updates>
<Batch OnError="Continue">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="New">
<Field Name="WikiField">Mix two eggs and a cup of milk.</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>
</soap:updates>
</soap:UpdateListItems>
</soapenv:Body>
It creates a new page, but it has no content and no title.
Grab a copy of SharePoint Manager it can show you heaps of interesting info.
you want the Name field (it includes the ".aspx").
The title field is not relevant in a wiki (blank), pages are indexed by thier name instead.
--update--
Using the copy.asmx allows you to upload a new document. The template page is a page that has been downloaded previously (it stores no information, equivalent to a layout page).
private byte[] GetTemplatePage()
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream("templatePage.aspx", FileMode.Open);
byte[] fileContents = new byte[(int)fs.Length];
fs.Read(fileContents, 0, (int)fs.Length);
fs.Close();
return fileContents;
}
private void UploadDoc(string pageName)
{
byte[] wikiBytes = GetTemplatePage();
string dest = "http://[website]/wiki/Wiki%20Pages/" + pageName + ".aspx";
string[] destinationUrlArray = new string[] { dest };
IntranetCopy.Copy copyService = new IntranetCopy.Copy();
copyService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
copyService.Url = "http://[website]/wiki/_vti_bin/copy.asmx";
IntranetCopy.FieldInformation fieldInfo = new IntranetCopy.FieldInformation();
IntranetCopy.FieldInformation[] fields = { fieldInfo };
IntranetCopy.CopyResult[] resultsArray;
copyService.Timeout = 600000;
uint documentId = copyService.CopyIntoItems(dest, destinationUrlArray, fields, wikiBytes, out resultsArray);
}
Then you can call the lists.asmx to update the wikifield.
Note: I have not figure out how to rename a document once it has been uploaded using webservices.
If nothing else is working you should develop your own web service to provide this feature. The out-of-the-box options are notoriously limited in functionality but there is nothing stopping you from adding to them.
I would wrap Nat's solution into the web service code.

I created book store site on Kentico i used only their adminstration and display the data from my website using Kentico API's but am strugled in getting attachment files related to specific document i've got document data with no problem using
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
var documents = tree.SelectNodes("CMS.Product");
need also to get related attachment files like book PDFs.. i've tried to use
DocumentAttachment
AttachmentInfo
AttachmentInfoProvider
classes but i couldn't get the data .. I would appreciate if any one help me in that.
Actually am searching about something like GetAttachment().Where("AttachmentFile","Ënglish File")
You can filter the returned attachments based on their values in columns (CMS_Attachment table) by using a code like this:
var attachment = AttachmentInfoProvider.GetAttachments()
.WhereEquals("AttachmentName", "Englishfile")
.And()
.WhereEquals("AttachmentExtension", "jpg")
.TopN(1)
.FirstOrDefault();
if (attachment != null)
{
// attachment was found
}
This code will get one .jpg file where attachment name equals to "EnglishFile"
Solved after using something like
var Attachment = AttachmentInfoProvider.GetAttachments(226, true);
This is from Kentico documentation. This example shows how to add an attachment and modify its metadata. You can ignore that part.You will have to make it generic to work for all examples.
Kentico 9 API Links
// Creates a new instance of the Tree provider
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
// Gets a page
TreeNode page = tree.SelectSingleNode(SiteContext.CurrentSiteName, "/Articles", "en-us");
if (page != null)
{
// Gets an attachment by file name
AttachmentInfo attachment = DocumentHelper.GetAttachment(page, "file.png", tree);
// Edits the attachment's metadata (name, title and description)
attachment.AttachmentName += " - modified";
attachment.AttachmentTitle = "Attachment title";
attachment.AttachmentDescription = "Attachment description.";
// Ensures that the attachment can be updated without supplying its binary data
attachment.AllowPartialUpdate = true;
// Saves the modified attachment into the database
AttachmentInfoProvider.SetAttachmentInfo(attachment);
}
I have following code from http://ktskumar.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/upload-document-from-local-machine-to-sharepoint-library/ to upload a document to a sharepoint library using web services. I have added https://mysite.sharepoint.com/_vti_bin/Copy.asmx (this site is on sharepoint Online) as my service reference.
//Copy WebService Settings
string webUrl = "https://mySite.sharepoint.com";
WSCopy.Copy copyService = new WSCopy.Copy();
copyService.Url = webUrl + "/_vti_bin/copy.asmx";
copyService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
//Source and Destination Document URLs
string sourceUrl = "http://localhost/Shared Documents/Sample.doc";
string destinationUrl = "E:\\DocumentsSample.doc";
//Variables for Reading metadata’s of a document
WSCopy.FieldInformation fieldInfo = new WSCopy.FieldInformation();
WSCopy.FieldInformation[] fieldInfoArray = { fieldInfo };
WSCopy.CopyResult cResult1 = new WSCopy.CopyResult();
WSCopy.CopyResult cResult2 = new WSCopy.CopyResult();
WSCopy.CopyResult[] cResultArray = { cResult1, cResult2 };
//Receive a Document Contents into Byte array (filecontents)
byte[] fileContents = new Byte[4096];
uint copyresult = copyService.GetItem(sourceUrl, out fieldInfoArray, out fileContents);
if (copyresult == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("Document downloaded Successfully, and now it's getting saved in location " + destinationUrl);
//Create a new file and write contents to that document
FileStream fStream = new FileStream(destinationUrl, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
fStream.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);
fStream.Close();
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Document Downloading gets failed...");
}
Console.Write("Press any key to exit...");
Console.Read();
here WSCopy is the service reference and 'WSCopy.Copy' copy class is not found on my project. How can i resolve this or is there another way to achive my goal.

You have to add the web service url in Web Reference, instead of Service Reference.
On Visual Studio Project, Right click the References, and select the Add Service Reference.
On Add Service Reference popup, click the Advanced button on bottom of the box,
Now the Service Reference Settings popup will open, there we have to click the “Add Web Reference” botton. Then give the Web Service url and click the “Add Reference” button to include webservice url to the project.
I have an application where customers fill out a PDF form and then post it to a sharepoint library. Once the document is posted, we want to kick of an event handler to extract the user data from the form and post it into one or more sharepoint lists.
Any ideas on how I get started- I'm a novice with PDF forms but have a good understanding of SharePoint development.
Take a look at www.pdfsharepoint.com. Their product allows filling in Pdf forms and submitting them in to SharePoint. Fields can be mapped to SharePoint columns.

You can write a custom handler that catches a PDF Form submit as explained here (includes sample code).
Alternatively you can use a workflow that is triggered when a PDF Form is saved and extract the data from the form using a third party library.
If you prefer to use SharePoint Designer workflows then you can embed your .net code directly into the workflow using a product such as the Workflow Power Pack. (Disclaimer, I worked on this product and it is fab ;-).
You probably have a good reason to use PDF Forms, but you could also consider using InfoPath or even MS-Word to fill out your forms. It is easy to extract Word and InfoPath data from SharePoint and if you wish you can convert the documents to PDF as well.
If you can use PDF form submit action then you can have the form submit the data directly to the SharePoint list. To do this, you will need to create a custom http handler and save it to _Layouts folder with ".ashx" extension.
In PDF form, set the submit action to submit the data in XML and point it to the URL of the http handler.
Here is example code of the handler;
<%# Assembly Name="Microsoft.SharePoint,Version=12.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<%# WebHandler Language="C#" Class="SP_PDFSubmitHandler" %>
using System;
using System.Web;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Xml;
public class SP_PDFSubmitHandler : IHttpHandler {
public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {
SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
try
{
string rawXML = "";
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(context.Request.InputStream);
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(reader);
string _xmlString = xmlDoc.InnerXml;
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding encoding = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
string _fileTime = DateTime.Now.ToFileTime().ToString();
byte[] docAsBytes = encoding.GetBytes(_xmlString);
//Insert Document
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList list = web.Lists["Purchase Order"];
SPListItem item = list.Items.Add();
item["Title"] = "PurchaseOrder_" + _fileTime + ".xml";
item["Company Name"] = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("txtOrderedByCompanyName").Item(0).InnerText;
item["Date"] = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("dtmDate").Item(0).InnerText;
item["Order Total"] = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("numGrandTotal").Item(0).InnerText;
item.Attachments.Add("PurchaseOrder_" + _fileTime + ".xml", docAsBytes);
item.Update();
//Redirect the browser to the Purchase Order list so we can see our submisison.
context.Response.Redirect("http://myserver/Lists/Purchase%20Order/AllItems.aspx");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
context.Response.Write(ex.Message);
}
}

return false;

Here is a great post which describes the process http://blogs.adobe.com/mtg/2009/03/submitting-data-from-an-pdf-form-to-ms-sharepoint.html
Here is the MSDN post about Handlers https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457204.aspx
I have a form library in my share point site. Programmatically I need to fill some fields. Can I do that? If any one know please provide me some sample code. First I need to retrieve the infopath document and then I need to fill the fields.
What axel_c posted is pretty dang close. Here's some cleaned up and verified working code...
public static void ChangeFields()
{
//Open SharePoint site
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://<SharePoint_Site_URL>"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
//Get handle for forms library
SPList formsLib = web.Lists["FormsLib"];
if (formsLib != null)
{
foreach (SPListItem item in formsLib.Items)
{
XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
//Open XML file and load it into XML document
using (Stream s = item.File.OpenBinaryStream())
{
xml.Load(s);
}
//Do your stuff with xml here. This is just an example of setting a boolean field to false.
XmlNodeList nodes = xml.GetElementsByTagName("my:SomeBooleanField");
foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
{
node.InnerText = "0";
}
//Get binary data for new XML
byte[] xmlData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xml.OuterXml);
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(xmlData))
{
//Write data to SharePoint XML file
item.File.SaveBinary(ms);
}
}
}
}
}
}
The Infopath document is just a regular XML file, the structure of which matches the data sources you defined in the Infopath form.
You just need to access the file via the SharePoint object model, modify it using standard methods (XmlDocument API) and then write it back to the SharePoint list. You must be careful to preserve the structure and insert valid data or you won't be able to open the form using Infopath.
You should really check out a book on SharePoint if you plan to do any serious development. Infopath is also a minefield.
Object model usage examples: here, here and here. The ridiculously incomplete MSDN reference documentation is here.
EDIT: here is some example code. I haven't done SharePoint for a while so I'm not sure this is 100% correct, but it should give you enough to get started:
// Open SharePoint site
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://<SharePoint_Site_URL>"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
// Get handle for forms library
SPList formsLib = web.Lists["FormsLib"];
if (formsLib != null)
{
SPListItem itm = formsLib.Items["myform.xml"];
// Open xml and load it into XML document
using (Stream s = itm.File.OpenBinary ())
{
MemoryStream ms;
byte[] xmlData;
XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument ();
xml.Load (s);
s.Close ();
// Do your stuff with xml here ...
// Get binary data for new XML
xmlData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (xml.DocumentElement.OuterXml);
ms = new MemoryStream (xmlData);
// Write data to sharepoint item
itm.File.SaveBinary (ms);
ms.Close ();
itm.Update ();
}
}
web.Close();
}
site.Close();
}
It depends a bit on your available tool set, skills and exact requirements.
There are 2 main ways of pre populating data inside an InfoPath form.
Export the relevant fields as part of the form's publishing process. The fields will then become columns on the Document / Forms library from where you can manipulate them either manually, via a Workflow or wherever your custom code is located.
Directly manipulate the form using code similar to what was provided by Axel_c previously. The big question here is: what will trigger this code? An event receiver on the Document Library, a SharePoint Designer Workflow, a Visual Studio workflow etc?
If you are trying to do this from a SharePoint Designer workflow then have a look at the Workflow Power Pack for SharePoint. It allows C# and VB code to be embedded directly into the workflow without the need for complex Visual Studio development. An example of how to query InfoPath data from a workflow can be found here. If you have some development skills you should be able to amend it to suit your needs.
I also recommend the site www.infopathdev.com, they have excellent and active forums. You will almost certainly find an answer to your question there.
Thanks for the sample code, #axel_c and #Jeff Burt
Below is just the same code from Jeff Burt modified for a file in Document set which I needed. If you don't already have the Document Set reference, you can check out this site on how to grab one:
http://howtosharepoint.blogspot.com/2010/12/programmatically-create-document-set.html
Also, the codes will open the .xml version of the infopath form and not the .xsn template version which you might run into.
Thanks again everyone...
private void ChangeFields(DocumentSet docSet)
{
string extension = "";
SPFolder documentsetFolder = docSet.Folder;
foreach (SPFile file in documentsetFolder.Files)
{
extension = Path.GetExtension(file.Name);
if (extension != ".xml") //check if it's a valid xml file
return;
XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
//Open XML file and load it into XML document, needs to be .xml file not .xsn
using (Stream s = file.OpenBinaryStream())
{
xml.Load(s);
}
//Do your stuff with xml here. This is just an example of setting a boolean field to false.
XmlNodeList nodes = xml.GetElementsByTagName("my:fieldtagname");
foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
{
node.InnerText = "xyz";
}
//Get binary data for new XML
byte[] xmlData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xml.OuterXml);
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(xmlData))
{
//Write data to SharePoint XML file
file.SaveBinary(ms);
}
}
}
I had this issue and resolved it with help from Jeff Burt / Axel_c's posts.
I was trying to use the XMLDocument.Save([stream]) and SPItem.File.SaveBinary([stream]) methods to write an updated InfoPath XML file back to a SharePoint library. It appears that XMLDocument.Save([stream]) writes the file back to SharePoint with the wrong encoding, regardless of what it says in the XML declaration.
When trying to open the updated InfoPath form I kept getting the error "a calculation in the form has not been completed..."
I've written these two functions to get and update and InfoPath form. Just manipulate the XML returned from ReadSPFiletoXMLdocument() in the usual way and send it back to your server using WriteXMLtoSPFile().
private System.Xml.XmlDocument ReadSPFiletoXMLdocument(SPListItem item)
{
//get SharePoint file XML
System.Xml.XmlDocument xDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
try
{
using (System.IO.Stream xmlStream = item.File.OpenBinaryStream())
{
xDoc.Load(xmlStream);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//put your own error handling here
}
return xDoc;
}
private void WriteXMLtoSPFile(SPListItem item, XmlDocument xDoc)
{
byte[] xmlData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xDoc.OuterXml);
try
{
using (System.IO.MemoryStream outStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(xmlData))
{
item.File.SaveBinary(outStream);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//put your own error handling here
}
}
Edit: This is a decade old so very likely not to be relevant to anyone, if google has brought you here I would be sceptical of the content against more modern frameworks!
We have a sharepoint website that has been quite heavily developed with content using the out of the box content editor webpart. This is a bit rubbish when it comes to using any other browser than IE.
We have in mind to update to the free Telerik content editor, however we would like to save ourselves a large amount of copy and pasting, and clicking and selecting to swap the web parts over.
There seems to be no official upgrade path but it seems to me that it must be possible to use the power of code (tm) to grab the content of the original webpart, new up a telerik webopart and put the content into the new webpart... then delete the old original web part.
Has anyone done this sort of thing? How is it best to lay out the code and actually run the code that will do the swap (if it is possible). A fresh webpart with a "Do Swap" button on? or something more sophisticated?
I also would need to walk through every page and subsite (and page in subsite) and look at every web part. Is there a best practice way of doing this?
I would write a console application for this.
Open the root Web and iterate through its sub webs.
Do the work needed for each page, by opening the WebPartManager.
Here are some pseudo code to get you started.
string SourceUrl = "http://ThisWeb";
using (SPSite sourceSite = new SPSite(SourceURL))
{
using (SPWeb sourceWeb = sourceSite.OpenWeb(SourceURL))
{
IterateSubWebsProd(sourceWeb):
}
}
private void IterateSubWebsProd(SPWeb sourceWeb)
{
// This is the migration function
DoThingyWithThisWeb(sourceWeb);
foreach (SPWeb subWeb in sourceWeb.Webs)
{
IterateSubWebsProd(subWeb);
subWeb.Dispose();
}
}
private void DoThingyWithThisWeb(SPWeb sourceWeb)
{
PublishingPage currentPage = null;
string currentPageName = "<something>";
// Find the pages that you want to modify, with a CAML query for example
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = string.Format("" +
"<Where>" +
"<Eq>" +
"<FieldRef Name='FileLeafRef' />" +
"<Value Type='File'>{0}</Value>" +
"</Eq>" +
"</Where>" +
"", currentPageName);
// This codesnippet is from a Publishing web example
PublishingWeb publishingWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(sourceWeb);
PublishingPageCollection pageColl = publishingWeb.GetPublishingPages(query);
if (pageColl.Count > 0)
{
currentPage = pageColl[0];
}
using (SPLimitedWebPartManager wpMan = currentPage.ListItem.File.GetLimitedWebPartManager(System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared))
{
foreach (WebPart wp in wpMan.WebParts)
{
if (wp.GetType().Equals(typeof(Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ContentEditorWebPart)))
{
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ContentEditorWebPart thisWebPart = wp as Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ContentEditorWebPart;
// This is just dummy code, here you will do your content migration
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement xmlElement = xmlDoc.CreateElement("RootElement");
xmlElement.InnerText = sourceItem[SourceField].ToString();
thisWebPart.Content = xmlElement;
wpMan.SaveChanges(thisWebPart);
}
}
}
}
I'm not 100% certain on this, but if your content is saved into a list as individual fields, could you not point the Telerik controls at where that content is saved? This may cause Telerik controls to freak out a bit on the first edit of that content, but they should be ok to re-format the content and recover.
