Create 'new document' in Visual Studio in document library

Hi,

I customized a document library to list UserControls that developers add to
the site. I'd like to take advantage of the 'New Document' functionality to
open up a template in Visual Studio. I didn't find enough document online;
the only thing I could find says create a dll that will load the correct
control. I really need some insight in this regards on how to do this task.

My 2nd question: is there a way to restrict the types of files that can be
uploaded? In the above example, I'd like to restrict my library to .ascx
files.

And the last question: how can I customize the menu that displays when you
click on the down arrow for an upload file? I'd like to remove irrelevant
items such as "Submit to portal area", "Add to my links" etc.

Thanks!

This function uses an activex control which is documented here...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/spptsdk/html/tscliOpenDocuments.asp?frame=true
You would have to write your own activex control to launce VS and pass in
the file name to open.

Hi,

For your first question, Ian has provided the answer.

For the 2nd question, the "Blocked File Type" feature of SPS/wSS will help
you to restrice the file type uploaded. You can browse the SPS/WSS central
administration page. From Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Sharepoint
Central Administration. You will find the link "Manage blocked file types".
From here, you can input the blocked file extension. Then when you are
uploading this kind of file into the doclib, it will fail.

For the 3rd question, so far as I know, there is no public doc released by
Microsoft regarding the customization of this menu. It is not recommend by
Microsoft for you to modify this menu which is the built-in style of doclib
item.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any question.

Wei-Dong,

I'd like to block other file extensions for that specific document library;
so in my UserControls library, I'd like to prevent users from uploading
anything but a .ascx file. As I understand from your reply, any restrictions
will be applied to ALL document libraries.

I would appreciate any further help you can offer.

Hi,

For one specific document library blocing the file extension, you will
need to create your own uploadcontrol to substitude the one available from
Office 2003 installation. You will need to provide some methods the same to
the uploadctl. Please see the page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/spptsdk/html/tscliUploadMultDocs.asp

Please feel free to let me know if you have any question.

Hi Yan-Hong,

I never developed ActiveX controls before, and reading the content Microsoft
provided in the link Wei-Dong gave me, I am still not sure how to go about it.

For some reason, that article makes the emphasis on "uploading multiple
files", so I am not sure what other methods I need to provide beside those in
the article.

I would appreciate it if you can provide further help.

Thanks.

Hi,

If you want to restrict the file type in the client side, it will be very
helpful to develop one activex control.

For the development of ActiveX, the article below introduces this:
MFC ActiveX Controls
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vccore/html/_core_ActiveX_Control_To
pics.asp

For the internet file uploading, this article from CodeProject.com will
provide one wonderful sample for you.
CHttpClient - A helper class using WinInet
http://www.codeproject.com/library/lyoulhttpclient.asp

Please feel free to let me know if you have any question.
