    - listbox databind problem web part. Hi, I have rather a simple webpart that has a listbox with two buttons - one to add users and other to remove users. I am calling Usergroup.asmx webservice for getting the info in the listbox. When i select an item in listbox and click delete, the list box is not refreshing with new data(deleted data)... I am kind of surprised at this rather strange behavior.. If i manually refresh the page, it shows the updated list... strangely enough, its working fine for adding users to the list(the listbox shows newly added members on postback).. using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Web.UI; //using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts; using System.Xml.Serialization; using Microsoft.SharePoint; using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities; using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages; using System.Xml; //using System.ComponentModel; using System.Collections; //web service related //using System.Web.Services; //using System.Xml.Serialization; //using System.Web.Services.Description; //using System.Web.Services.Discovery; //using System.Net; using TestWebPart2.AlterUserDetails; namespace MyWebParts { [XmlRoot(Namespace = "MyWebParts")] [Guid("da80a2e7-d4e2-49f0-b802-de12c2745ed7")] //public class TestWebPart2 : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart public class TestWebPart2 : Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart { //HtmlButton btnAddToReadOnlyList; //HtmlButton btnRemoveFromReadOnlyList; //HtmlButton btnAddToReadWriteList; //HtmlButton btnRemoveFromReadWriteList; System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button btnAddToReadOnlyList; System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button btnRemoveFromReadOnlyList; System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button btnAddToReadWriteList; System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button btnRemoveFromReadWriteList; PeopleEditor objPeopleEditor; System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox lstReadOnlyUsers; System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox lstReadWriteUsers; private string strText; private void btnRemoveFromReadOnlyList_click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { if (lstReadOnlyUsers.SelectedIndex != -1) { RemoveUserFromRole("ReadOnly", lstReadOnlyUsers.SelectedValue); strText += "Remove Clicked"; } this.SaveProperties = true; } catch (Exception objException) { this.objPeopleEditor.ErrorMessage = "Error...

    - SharePoint Designer/Frontpage/WSS question I was never a big user of Frontpage but Designer plays a huge role in MOSS/WSS 3. So, I have the following question: If you use SPD to create a folder arbitrarily in the structure of a WSS site and then start stuffing files, e.g. images, aspx pages, etc., how are they treated by WSS? Are the files content? Is everything handled by the safe mode parser? Since the files have to be in the contentdb, I expect they're backed up with the site. Are they accessible through the object model? Tag: Site Actions Problem Tag: 56382

    - Windows authentication after session expiry Hi, I am using WSS 3.0 for my site development. For this, i want that at the time of initial login it sohuld not ask for Windows Authentication (Should use looged in user's credentials). Now, i have set up a timeout of 1minute for my site. If 1minue of inactivity is there then i want to show the Login Screen again (Windows Authentication) and then redirect to the same page where user was originally working e.g. if user is at Mypage.aspx and login session expires, then on session_start, it should ask for Login Credentials and then go to Mypage.aspx again. I have been able tosetup the timeout period and on Session_Start, i am trying to redirect it to Authenticate.aspx. Now the problem is that, i have not been able to distinguish between the initial login and login after session expiry. Also when i use authenticate.aspx, it tries to authenticate user for 3times i.e. asks the credentials for 3times. Please help me in solving this problem. Here is the code that i am using for this: void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host + HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "Session is Starting...<br>"); // Redirect here to Authenticate.aspx which is used by default by IIS. Session.Timeout = 1; } void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Write("Session is Ending...<br>"); Response.End(); } Regards, Shreshth Tag: Site Actions Problem Tag: 56375

    - Receive "Cannot connect to the configuration database" when attempting to install a new web part I've create a new web part. I'm trying to install this web part on a Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 instance. In my development environment, Sharepoint is set up on a single server with SQL Server 2000 on the same box. I can install the web part just fine there. On the production instance, Sharepoint is set up different. SQL Server 2000 is on a separate box. Using the same steps (as I do on the development instance), I get a "cannot connect to the configuration database" error message. As far as I know, everything else on the production Sharepoint instance is working just fine. I've seen the troubleshooting steps at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/ 823287/en-us. On the web server, the app pool identity is set to "NETWORK SERVICE". On the SQL Server 2000 instance, the "NETWORK SERVICE" account is not a member of any of the roles listed in the knowledge base article. If I add the SQL Server 2000 instance's 'NETWORK SERVICE" account to the proper roles, would that fix my problem? Do I need to create another account that is the same for both servers? I'm not sure why I get this error on the production server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Site Actions Problem Tag: 56359

    - WSS - Error using stsadm "-o deletesite", (corrupted site?) I am having an issue with a site collection on my sharepoint server. I used stsadm.exe with the -o createsite parameter to create a blank corporate IT test site on our intranet (http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2). Before the command was finished running however, the command window was closed by accident. Now when I go to enumsites for http://intranet, I get the following entry among the others: <Site Url="http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2" Error="There is no Web named "/sites/corporateIT2"."> If I try to run stsadm.exe -o deletesite or -o backup with the CorprorateIT2 url, I get: "The system cannot find the path specified" If I try to run: stsadm.exe -o deletepath with the CorporateIT2 url, I get: "The managed path you specified does not exist" If I try to run: stsadm.exe -o restore -url http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2 -filename -overwrite from a backup I have of the production corporate IT site I get: "The Web site address "http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2" is already in use" If I try to access the site through a browser, I get: 400 error, "Bad Request" At this point, I'm just trying to clean up/delete the http://intranet/sites/corporateIT2 path/site that I've created. It's not hurting much right now as the intranet is still a development platform, and no one needs the corporateIT2 url, but I want to get a better picture of what's going on and how to fix it moving forward. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris Tag: Site Actions Problem Tag: 56356

    - Issue upgrading Sharepoint 2003 sp2 to MOSS 2007 trial version I downloaded the trial version of MOSS 2007 until my CD and license comes in. I have a test environment with 1 server which is the front end webserver, the 2nd server is the job server and indexer and the 3rd server is running SQL 200 sp4. In my actual environment its a 3 server farm as opposed to the 2 server farm I have in my test environment. I ran all windows updates on all 3 boxes including grabbing the DST update for Sharepoint 2003. I ran the prescan.exe and cleared all errors. I installed .NET 3.0 on both the front end and job/indexer. I also enabled .NET 2.0 in IIS.I upgraded the frontend first without running the config wizard. I then upgraded the job/index server second and stopped at running the config wizard. Ran the config wizard on frontend and it bombed on step 2 with the following error: "Failed to initiate the upgrade process" Logfile has the following error: 02/07/2007 13:44:45 8 ERR Task upgradebootstrap has failed with an unknown exception 02/07/2007 13:44:45 8 ERR Exception: Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPUpgradeException: Action 12.0.1.0 of Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Upgrade.SearchServiceInstanceSequence failed. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Next, he had me run it on the front- end again and it bombed with the same error. I sent him all of my logs and have yet to hear from him. I have been unable to find a solution to this error message either by my own accord or through MS. Hopefully, someone out here has had this issue before and can tell me how to resolve it.

    - IE Locks when trying to access Sharepoint I posted this on the portal server group and thought I'd try over here too. I have several members on my team with an issue when trying to access our sharepoint site. IE will show one bar on the progress bar, but lock up and I have to end program to get out. It doesn't even get to the login popup. They can get to other internal and external websites. They can login in to the sharepoint site from other PCs. Here's what I've tried: 1. Delete all temp files 2. I can ping the server from a command prompt 3. I can get the the sharepoint site through firefox (although we have no functionality) 4. I removed all the webparts on the opening page - still nothing 5. I added the website to their trusted sites. 6. I've matched all the security settings to my PC. Nothing changed on their machines to cause this. I even get it on my machine from time to time, but once I end program and restart IE, I can get in. Any suggestions?

    - How to enable auditing on WSS v3 Hello. Can anyone point me in the direction for instructions on how you enable and view auditing in WSS v3? I am aware you it's not a GUI option in WSS v3 The admin section of the MS technet library is still down as "TBD", so no help there. I've tried Mike Walsh's excellent WSS FAQ, however it states that it must be performed by the object model. "Note: In WSS v3 Audit Logging needs to be turned on (and accessed) via the Object Model (OM)" The following link, seems to relate to MOSS 2007 and not WSS v3 http://markharrison.co.uk/blog/archive%5C2006_07_01_archive.htm Any pointers will be great (I'm guessing you need to use SP designer 2007?)

I have several list that need to be populated depending on what was selected above them. At the moment i'm trying to get the lists to load on the click event of a button. My problem is when this click event is called, the page does a postback and all the current values of the lists are lost and the toolpart is reloaded with its original values. I'm sure i'm missing some awfully simple but I can't think what. thanks Adam ************************************************************************************************************************** ********************** Code ******************************************************************************************** [ToolboxData("<{0}:CustomToolPart runat=server></ {0}:CustomToolPart>")] public class GroupingListByCategoryToolPart : ToolPart { private Label lblTargetSite = new Label(); private TextBox tbTargetSite = new TextBox(); private Button btnLoadSiteLists = new Button(); private Label lblLists = new Label(); private DropDownList ddlLists = new DropDownList(); private Button btnLoadListFields = new Button(); private Label lblCategory = new Label(); private DropDownList ddlCategory = new DropDownList(); private Label lblLink = new Label(); private DropDownList ddlLink = new DropDownList(); private Label lblFilterField = new Label(); private DropDownList ddlFilterField = new DropDownList(); private Label lblFilterValue = new Label(); private TextBox tbFilterValue = new TextBox(); private HiddenField hdnLoadOnce = new HiddenField(); private const string CSSUSERINPUT = "UserInput"; private const string DIVUSERCONTROLGROUP = "<div class= \"UserControlGroup\">"; private const string DIVUSERDOTTEDLINE = "<div style='width: 100%' class='UserDottedLine'></div>"; private const string DIVUSERSECTIONHEAD = "<div class= \"UserSectionHead\">"; private const string DIVEND = "</div>"; private const string NEWROW = "<tr><td>"; private const string ENDROW = "</td></tr>"; private string wpID; public GroupingListByCategoryToolPart() { //Set some properties and event handlers for the tool part this.Title = "Grouping List Setup"; this.Init += new EventHandler(GroupingListByCategoryToolPart_Init); } private void GroupingListByCategoryToolPart_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { wpID = this.UniqueID + "ID"; } private void btnLoadSiteLists_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { LoadSiteLists(tbTargetSite.Text); } private void btnLoadListFields_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { LoadListFields(ddlLists.SelectedValue, ""); } private void LoadSiteLists(string sitePath) { using (SPSite site = new SPSite(sitePath)) { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { ClearAllFields(); foreach (SPList list in web.Lists) { ddlLists.Items.Add(list.Title); } } } } private void LoadListFields(string sitePath, string currentValue) { using (SPSite site = new SPSite(sitePath)) { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { SPList list = web.Lists[currentValue]; ddlCategory.Items.Clear(); ddlCategory.Items.Add(""); ddlLink.Items.Clear(); ddlLink.Items.Add(""); ddlFilterField.Items.Clear(); ddlFilterField.Items.Add(""); foreach (SPField field in list.Fields) { if (field.Type == SPFieldType.MultiChoice) ddlCategory.Items.Add(field.Title); if (field.Type == SPFieldType.URL || field.Type == SPFieldType.File) ddlLink.Items.Add(field.Title); if (field.Filterable) ddlFilterField.Items.Add(field.Title); } } } } private void ClearAllFields() { ddlLists.Items.Clear(); ddlLists.Items.Add(""); ddlCategory.Items.Clear(); ddlCategory.Items.Add(""); ddlLink.Items.Clear(); ddlLink.Items.Add(""); ddlFilterField.Items.Clear(); ddlFilterField.Items.Add(""); tbFilterValue.Text = ""; } protected override void RenderToolPart(HtmlTextWriter output) { //Get a reference to the web part associated with this tool part ToolPane tpPane = this.ParentToolPane; GroupingListByCategory wp = (GroupingListByCategory) (tpPane.SelectedWebPart); lblTargetSite.Text = "Target Site Address."; lblTargetSite.ToolTip = "This field defaults to the current site.

    - Smigrate and Original Site I have a WSS 2.0 sp2 (6.0.28117) server. It's a single server with the config and content DBs on another server running SQL 2000 sp4. We're looking at upgrading to WSS 3.0 and to do so wanted to setup a test environment. Smart aye? :) So I created a backup using the smigrate tool. Setup a new server, installed WSS 2.0 and patched it to the same version. Re-created all the sites without templates. Setup all the databases like on the original server but pointing at a different SQL server (2005 in this instance). I copied the smigrate backup files over to the new server and ran the tool to restore to the new web. as in http://site2 instead of http://site1 It all seemed to work just fine except that after running the tool, my ORIGINAL sharepoint site gives a 404 Bad Request error. For the life of me, I see no reason why the 2 would be connected but that is the only change done to that server recently. Help would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: Site Actions Problem Tag: 56328

This is on a server hosting a MOSS installation of an upgraded v2 SPS portal. These WSS errors are new and I'm getting MOSS errors of the same type as well.

    - Migrate wss 2.0 and sql 2000 to new hardware All, Maybe someone can help me out with this. I've been reading and reading for days and I see a lot of different posts and doc's but none that seem to address my particular situation. I have a server 2003 box with wss v 2.0 and sql 2000 on it and it seems to be dying. I would like to move my exsisting installations to a new server. The server will be a completely different machine, with different hard drive set-up and with a different box name and domain. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what steps I should take to make this change? What about my AD users, will they have to be migrated as well or will stsadmin do all of that?

    - Pass an argument to a survey? Hi all, is it possible to pass an argument into a survey, via the URL? I would like to create a customer survey response from our CRM tool, passing it the event reference number. So, for example, we'd automatically send an email to the user inviting them to complete the survey at the following URL; http://edn-web-02/sites/ServiceCentre/Lists/InternalIncidentSurvey/NewForm.aspx?THE-INCIDENT-IS=12345 And the last bit (I know the syntax is wrong!) would update one of the columns in the survey response. Ideally that field would be hidden / read-only, but that's less of an issue than passing in the correct reference in the first place. I guess this query would apply to any new-item form, not just the survey list. Appreciate your thoughts. Regards, Scott Tag: Site Actions Problem Tag: 56310

    - SPImport Problems Hi All, I'm trying to programmatically move a site from one SiteCollection to another using the SPExport and SPImport APIs. I'm able to successfully do it through stsadm.exe -o export (and import) commands, but I'm not able to import the exported file using the API. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I thought there might be someone that could help. Here're the stsadm commands I'm using that work successfully: stsadm.exe -o export -url http://vpc-joelmoss/sites/myfirstsitecollection -filename c:\test\test.crm -includeusersecurity -versions 4 stsadm.exe -o import -url http://vpc-joelmoss/newrootsite -filename c:\test\test.crm -includeusersecurity These work without any issues. Here's the code I'm using to attempt to do this programmatically: SPExportSettings exportSettings = new SPExportSettings(); exportSettings.ExportMethod = SPExportMethodType.ExportAll; exportSettings.SiteUrl = "http://vpc-joelmoss/site/myfirstsitecollection; exportSettings.BaseFileName = "test2"; exportSettings.FileLocation = @"C:\test"; exportSettings.IncludeVersions = SPIncludeVersions.All; exportSettings.OverwriteExistingDataFile = true; exportSettings.IncludeSecurity = SPIncludeSecurity.All; SPExport export = new SPExport(exportSettings); export.Run(); This exports successfully, AND I'M ABLE TO IMPORT THIS FILE USING STSADM.exe. However, I'm not able to import it successfully using the SPImport Object. Here's the code that fails as well as the error message I receive. SPImportSettings importSettings = new SPImportSettings(); importSettings.BaseFileName = "test2.cmp"; importSettings.FileLocation = @"C:\test"; importSettings.SiteUrl = "http:\\vpc-joelmoss\NewRootSite"; importSettings.IncludeSecurity = SPIncludeSecurity.All; importSettings.UpdateVersions = SPUpdateVersions.Overwrite; SPImport import = new SPImport(importSettings); import.Run(); The error message I get is FatalError: Cannot import site. The exported site is based on the template STS#0 but the destination site is based on the template SPS#0. You can import sites only into sites that are based on same template as the exported site. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.WebSerializer.IsWebTemplateCompatible(String sourceWebTemplateName, String destinationWebTemplateName) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.WebSerializer.SetObjectData(Object obj, SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context, ISurrogateSelector selector) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.XmlFormatter.ParseObject(Type objectType, Boolean isChildObject) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.XmlFormatter.DeserializeObject(Type objectType, Boolean isChildObject, DeploymentObject envelope) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.XmlFormatter.Deserialize(Stream serializationStream) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.ObjectSerializer.Deserialize(Stream serializationStream) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.ImportObjectManager.ProcessObject(XmlReader xmlReader) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.DeserializeObjects() at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.SPImport.Run() It seems that stsadm is able to create a new site with the correct template and SPImport isn't able to do so. The question is, what is stsadm doing using the APIs (b/c I'm pretty sure under the hood its using the SPImport and SPExport APIs) that I'm not??

    - move WSS v3 to 'Default' website? I'm a total newbie when it comes to WSS and am stumbling along at light speed! Anyways I did have WSS v2 and FP Extensions running together - kinda ok - and decided to upgrade to WSS v3. Rather than spend days trying to figger' why the last part of the WSS v3 upgrade kept failing I uninstalled FP Extensions, uninstalled WSS v2, rebooted and did the v3 install after the reboot. It worked - or, at least installed - just fine. However the new v3 Site is subfoldered way down below the original Default Web site and I had to manually change the 'Default Website' port to anything other than 80 to prevent conflict. Is there any way I can make the WSS v3 relocate to be the real 'Default Website' or, should I just totally uninstall IIS and start from scratch - it's a good time to do it.. I also appear to seem to have to log on with \default.aspx at the end of the URL rather than just the URL. I get the authentication box when I log on from the internet but, after I put in username and password I get the 'page not found'. If I put in default.aspx at the end of the URL it works just fine. I'm a newbie here and somehow this just doesn't seem - the best - install? and I don't want to right click and delete the Default Website because of the WSS v3 site default install beneath...

    - Sharepoint server not seeing contentdb? When I enumerate users on a Sharepoint site (stsadm.exe -o enumusers) I get a different list from what's in the contentdb. Now this all started when restoring a contentdb from a backup. It was a restore of a site but for long complicated reasons the site, which lives on a different server, had to be created from scratch, and the old contentdb used. To get it all to work we had to change various IDs in the contentdb using queries in Enterprise Manager. The Sharepoint administrator gui had been told to use the contentdb, but something, somewhere, isn't marrying them up. The portal uses AD Creation mode. Somewhere the users on the WSS 2.0 server aren't married up with the contentdb and/or their AD objects, because deleting them and changing passwords via the portal itself doesn't affect the contentdb properly. Does anyone know what the relationship between the 3 elements are and where to change it. Also, best practice for restoring the DB using Enterprise manager .baks or backup exec sql backups? Is it vital that the original site be restored? Or is creating the IIS instance from scratch with an old contentdb possible, and if so how? Thanks for any info, this is driving me mad trying to figure out! Tag: Site Actions Problem Tag: 56280

    - Can't access top level site after wss 3 upgrade Upgrade completed fine with no errors but I can't access the top level site but i can access all sites under it. I have checked the iss logs and it is getting a 401 error which is unauthorised The error on the web page is An unexpected error has occurred I have tried all different security settings on the default web site with no luck. Any one see this? Thanks Tag: Site Actions Problem Tag: 56277

I recently used smigrate to move some content as a template over to a
new server etc etc. Running WSS 3.0. I have created a site eg /site
and if I go to Site Actions--->Create I get the usual list of
Libraries, Communications, Tracking, Custom Lists and Web Pages.

However, if i goto /site/migratedweb, and then to Site Actions---
>Create,
I only get Tracking and Custom Lists where tracking only

contains Agenda. (This web is a team meeting one). All the others such
as the ability to create a document library or discussion board are
missing.

If I create a new web (team meeting one) under /site/newweb and then
go to Site Actions--->Create, I get all of this. Therefore it seems
the migration process missed the templates or ignored the default
ones.

Any ideas appreciated!

smigrate isn't supposed to work with WSS 3.0.

How did you do it?

OOPS!

Maybe I used the one included in the 2.0 directory then!! Either way,
it worked but with the symptoms above!

Basically I needed to move a site and subsites from a server to
another!

How is the best way to do this? eg www.webserver.net/sharepoint/site
---> sharepoint.webserver.net/site

Thanks
