This example creates a user profile from the master connection configured on the server. It displays the message 'User profile created' after a successful execution. //Creates a user profile.

As you can see I'm still working on sites, lists and views and I ran into another challenge. It started out very basic. I wanted to create a discussion forum list on a site. // Create new list listGuid = newWeb.Lists.Add("Forum", "ForumDescription", "Forum", "00BFEA71-6A49-43FA-B535-D15C05500108", 108, "", SPListTemplate.QuickLaunchOptions.Off); SPList forumList = newWeb.Lists[listGuid]; After succesfully creating the forum list I wanted to add a custom view to the list. That seemed to be easy enough as well. // Add an extra view to the list viewFields = new StringCollection(); viewFields.Add("LinkDiscussionTitle"); viewFields.Add("Author"); viewFields.Add("DiscussionLastUpdated"); newView = forumList.Views.Add("Portal View", viewFields, "", 100, true, false); newView.Update(); Unfortunately creating a view using the code above causes the link on the title takes yo...

You need to add a new field to the list that is marked Hidden="TRUE". You can do this via the object model: using (SPSite sps = new SPSite("http://someServer/")) { using (SPWeb spw = sps.OpenWeb()) { SPList spl = spw.Lists["Shared Documents"]; String strNewField = " "; try { spl.Fields.AddFieldAsXml(strNewField); } catch (SPException spe) { // Notify error that a duplicate name was detected } spl.Update(); } } Note : These hidden field will not appear when we try to create custom view using site action.

When working with permissions through the SharePoint API, there are some key objects to take note of. SPUser – A actual security object in SharePoint (AD User, AD Group or Forms Based User or Group). SPGroup – A SharePoint group defined through SharePoint. SPRoleDefinition – A actual role (permission level) defined in SharePoint (Read, Full Control etc…) SPRoleAssignment – The actual assignment between a SPUser/SPGroup and a SPRoleDefinition // ******************** Adding a SPUser to a SharePoint Group ******************** // Create the site that contains our list SPSite oSite = new SPSite("< >"); // Open the web object SPWeb oWeb = spSite.OpenWeb(); // Get the group that we want to add the user to SPGroup oGroup = oWeb.Groups["< >"]; // Get the user that we want to add to the group SPUser oUser = oWeb.AllUsers["domainlogin"]; // Now we add the user to the groups user collection oGroup.AddUser(oUser); // Update the group...

code snippet for creating a custom view ===================================== SPSite oSite = new SPSite([Site URL]);// [Site URL] change it to your sharepoint site URL SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb(); SPList oList = oWeb.Lists["shared documents"]; SPViewCollection oViewCollection = oList.Views; string strViewName = "MyCustomView"; System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection viewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection(); viewFields.Add("Name"); viewFields.Add("Type"); string query = " " + " mysample ";// here you can filter your items using the selected item in the dropdownlist oViewCollection.Add(strViewName, viewFields, query, 100, true, false); oWeb.Update(); Now refresh the list in UI and then you can see the “MyCustomView” in the selection list of views.

The following code is a simple example of a Console Application which accepts a semi-colon delimited list of aliases (i.e. domain\user;domain\user;domain\user) and then adds them to a ‘Person or Group’ field called ‘MyPersonField’ in a list. Console.WriteLine("Enter a ; delimited list of domain\alias that need to be added:"); string sAliases = Console.ReadLine(); //captures whatever the user entered string sValueToAddToFieldInSP = ""; //used to build the full string needed for the person field string sAllContacts = ""; using (SPSite site = new SPSite(“http://sites/site/yoursite”)) { site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true; using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb) { web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true; string[] aAliases = sAliases.Split(';'); foreach (string sAlias in aAliases) { SPUser user = web.EnsureUser(sAlias); sAllContacts += user.ID.ToString() + ";#" + user.LoginName.ToString() + ";#"; } web.Update(); } ...

We often hear questions from clients about how licensing works for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.  To which one need to really have talk with a Microsoft Licensing Specialist in order to get pricing as there are different pricing models for different types of organizations. But, I found this great Web site called the SharePoint Price Calculator  that will give you cost estimates based on the number of employees, number of Web Front Ends, number of servers, and number of SQL Servers. Enjoy!

Capacity is directly affected by scalability. This section lists the objects that can compose a solution and provides guidelines for acceptable performance for each type of object. Limits data is provided, along with notes that describe the conditions under which the limit obtain as well as links to additional information where available. Use the guidelines in this article to review your overall solution plans. If your solution plans exceed the recommended guidelines for one or more objects, take one or more of the following actions: Evaluate the solution to ensure that compensations are made in other areas. Flag these areas for testing and monitoring as you build and deploy your solution. Re-design the solution to ensure that you do not exceed capacity guidelines. The following tables list the objects by category and include recommended guidelines for  acceptable performance . Acceptable performance means that the system as tested can support that number of objects,...
