Windows Server

Hi All,

I've not yet written any .NET- or asp-code but I think this time I won't
find another solution than coding..

I want to "automatically" rename all document libraries of a a website
xyz001. The creation of the website xyz001 is - for instance - based on a
website template, that contains many document libraries. Every document
library must be renamed, so that the new name is "websitename"-"original
document library name". (E.g. the document library "Controlling" of the
website "xyz001" should be renamed to "xyz001-Controlling")

"automatically" could mean, that after creation of the website "xyz001" a
url is (manually via button or automatically via ExecuteURL) opened to call
http://blabla....aspx?website="xyz001" and this aspx-page could then contain
code, right?

--> Unfortunately I don't get started at all. Any code snippets? Any
recommendable tutorials?

sry, for the silly questions, but I'm a real newbie to SharePoint: which
would be the way to solve this problem? --> Installing Visual Studio .NET on
the SharePoint server??

any(!!) hints are appreciated ;)

cheers, jan

Hi Jan,
I think, I would make a WebPart that take care of the entire construction of
the site, with some input from the user (site name, template name, URL, etc),
and, after that the site is ready, she will loop throw all the libraries to
change his names.
The problem is that you don't can catch an event after the creation of the
library, thus, you can't do the name change automatically.
Installing VisualStudio in the SharePoint server is the best and easier
approach to develop software for SPS/WSS.
Suerte,
Gustavo

Get the books from Scot Hillier (MS Sharepoint Building Office 2003
Solutions and Advanced Sharepoint Services Solutions) for lots of good
examples and tutorials for doing these types of things with WSS and SPS.

Hi Gustavo,
I also have the same problem. I want to change the HelpLink for each
webparts in the every webpages.For this I get all the webparts on the page
and take the loop for eachwebpart, then try to change the HelpLink property,
but I am not able to do this. Even i can set other properties but not
HelpLink.Do you have any guess??
Or there is any other way?

thanks in advanced.

Hi Jan,

yes Jan, I created a new VS project as the webpart template.Take the exmpl :
I put one button to fatch all webparts in the webpage. On click of this
button i put the following code:

SPWeb mySPWeb =
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.SPControl.GetContextWeb(this.Context);
mySPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPWebPartCollection webCollection =
mySPWeb.GetWebPartCollection("default.aspx",Storage.Shared);
foreach (WebPart wptWebPart in webCollection)
{
if(wptWebPart is ListViewWebPart)
{
PropertyInfo[] pinProperties =
wptWebPart.GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.NonPublic |
BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance );
int i = 0;
foreach (PropertyInfo pinProperty in pinProperties)
{
//Page.Response.Write("pinProperty Name is: " + pinProperty.Name +
"<br>");
if (pinProperty.Name == "HelpLink")
{
pinProperty.SetValue(wptWebPart, "test", null);
//Page.Response.Write("Value pinProperty.CanWrite " +
pinProperty.CanWrite );
//Page.Response.Write("Value pinProperty.CanRead " +
pinProperty.CanRead );
webCollection.SaveChanges(wptWebPart.StorageKey);
//Page.Response.Write("Value set for: " + wptWebPart.Title + " for
help link is " + wptWebPart.HelpLink + "<br>");

wptWebPart.HelpLink = "test";
webCollection.SaveChanges(wptWebPart.StorageKey);
//Page.Response.Write("Value manually set set for: " +
wptWebPart.Title + " for help link is " + wptWebPart.HelpLink + "<br>");

//Page.Response.Write(wptWebPart.Title + " ShouldSerializeHelpLink :
" + wptWebPart.ShouldSerializeHelpLink());
}
}
}
}
mySPWeb.Update();

Use this code, it would be helpful for you. if there any problem feel free
to ask.

hi nitin,

thanks four your code snippet.

It has taken me quite a long time..but now finally I've tried your code in
the following way:

I created a new "Visual C#"-"Web Part Library" in VS.NET 2003.
In the file Webpart1.cs I copied the first twoe lines of your code into the
following sourcecode-part:

protected override void RenderWebPart(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
output.Write("Hello World!" + SPEncode.HtmlEncode(Text));

// now come the first two lines of nitin's code:
SPWeb mySPWeb =
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.SPControl.GetContextWeb(this.Context);
mySPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
}

Afterwards I created a Cab-Project and added the "Project Output" (Content
Files and Primary Output) and after building the solution I installed the
Webpart on my remote server with stsadm -o addwppack -filename
HelloWorldNitin.cab

I can add the webpart on a page but is causes errors (that's what the
web-portal error message says). Without the two lines of your code the
installed webpart successfully displays "Hello World!" - but that's still a
long way from what I want to develop..

Sorry, but I cannot get it started ;-(
1) What did I do wrong?
2) How do you debug a webpart that you develop locally and then install - as
mentioned above - on a remote server?
3) I just want some functionality to rename document libraries in a
website - is a webpart neccessary or could I also develop an aspx-page?

I'm sorry for bothering you guys with those silly newbie-questions but I
hope you can give me some hints how to get it started..

cheers, jan
