Jan Tielens' Bloggings

This is great stuff Jan. I intent on downloading and playing around with it later this afternoon.

Good news! Can't wait to try this out. And btw, thank you for a GREAT training week in Denmark.

It was my pleasure Thomas!

Good work. Now you've opened the gates, you might want to add the following to your installation instructions:

1) add WebResource.axd as a non-managed path.
To get started, open Windows SharePoint Services Central Admin. In the "Virtual Server Configuration" section click the "Configure virtual server settings" link. In the virtual server list, click the server that you want to configure. (Most people only have "Default Web Site" here.)

Now you are on the "Virtual Server Settings" page. In the section called "Virtual Server Management", click on "Define managed paths".

Add "WebResource.axd" as non managed path.

2) Add the 2.0 webcontrols as safe controls.
Pretty basic:

<SafeControl Assembly="System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" Namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
<SafeControl Assembly="System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" Namespace="System.Web.UI.HtmlControls" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />

3) please point the users to the fact that they must derive the user controls from SonOfSmartPart.IAdvancedUserControl and that they must add 2 member functions (see the samples, at least, that is how I got it to work)

remark: for some reason I have not gotten a 2.0 treeview at work with a HoverNodeStyle. Just remove it, and it will work.

Hans and Jan,

Are the notes from Hans truely a requirement? Thanks for clarifying. Also, please ammend the note from Hans to indicate that the "safe controls" section is located in the web.config file (some may not know that).

Any chance either of you could post a sample VS2005 .Net 2.0 sample? I'm having trouble getting mine to work.

I have added the safecontrol section as Hans described, but am getting a Sharepoint error "The "SonOfSmartPartUC" Web Part appears to be causing a problem."

P.S. Your sample web control works fine.

And, for your sample code to compile, do I need sharepoint installed on my development station? I'm getting a build error "vs2005 the type or namespace name sharepoint does not exist in hte namespace"

And, What are the different versions (WP/UC) targeted to? When should I use one or the other?

Okay, now a few notes re VS2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 from my work:

1) If you're developing on XP, any references to sharepoint will fail. Not a problem, you just cannot build.

2) To deploy a UC, just copy the aspx and .aspx.cs to the usercontrols dir. I'm not sure how this would work if you wanted to deploy a precompiled uc/dll.

3) I've confirmed Hans' remark regarding HoverNodeStyle. The treeview control can exist, just remove the HoverNodeStyle markup in the ascx file. Also, make sure to follow Hans'/Jans instructions on WebResource.axd http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2005/11/24/431425.aspx

I installed Son of SmartPart v1.0 by reading the installation guide and I watched the video (very nice by the way).

Sharepoint is throwing "The format of the file 'SonOfSmartPart' is invalid." error. It sounds like it does not like the DLL.

I have SPS installed. Will The Son of Smartpart run under an SPS installation in a WSS site?

Hi,
I have a small problem with danish national charactors æøå when I load usercontrols.ascx through the smartpart interface.

Only when I write &aelig; (æ) for æ in the usercontrol does the character display as æ. If I simply write æ the character is not displayed in the rendered page.

Anyone with an idea?

I was wondering if it would be possible to store ascx files in a web resource using the WebResourceAttribute and using Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl() to get the url to pass to Page.LoadControl()?  I know the code behind would need to be compiled down to an assembly first.  

Only thing I see not working is you need to specify the mime type for the resource.  

I have just managed to get the UC controls up and running on Sharepoint 2007 with great success!  However if I try and use any of the Sharepoint 12 features I get a mismatch.  When will you be releasing a version of the dll that uses 2007?

I receive:

An unexpected error has occurred

When trying to load my user control? I am using SonofsmartPart on Sharepoint services 2.0 with sp2...please please help me!

Where can I download Son of SmartPart? GotDotNet site is down.

Looks like the project has moved from gotdotnet to codeplex (www.codeplex.com/smartpart). There seems to be little activity from the author though.

You might want to see if you are running an HTTP module that checks session variables.  It will fire on the WebResources.axd file but there will no session for a file of that type and an exception gets thrown but you will never know it because the module swallows it while in runtime for some reason.   Only pages with the <% Page %> directive will have session.

Check the context and get out of the module will fix it.

System.Web.UI.Page page = Context.CurrentHandler as System.Web.UI.Page;

           if (page == null)

           {

               return;

           }

Worked for me!
