Search Architecture

noreply@blogger.com (sathish nadarajan) — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 04:59:00 +0000

Search Architecture in Sharepoint 2007

At the right side of the figure, there are various repositories, also referred to as content sources, that can be accessed and crawled out of the box. In the list, you will find,

1. External Web sites

2. Sharepoint sites

3. Public Microsoft exchange folders

4. Any line of business data you are able to connect via Business Data Catalog

5. Network shares

6. Lotus Notes databases

Protocol handlers open the door to the location of the arbitrary repository for the crawler, and IFilters make it possible to open the rich resources (Such as Office documents) stored within the location and Index their content.

As a result of all of this crawling, an index file is built up and Data is stored in the Search Database. The Index file is the physical file stored in the system.

All of the Metadata collected during the crawling process such as values of the custom columns for the documents in Sharepoint document libraries, is stored in the property store and will help users build more complex search queries.

There are numerous pieces that make up the configuration data. In the case of Sharepoint, all of this data is stored in the Database under the control of shared service provider. This data includes: The configuration data for the Ranking algorithm, the keywords and the best bets that administrators can set, The schema elements used for defining the queries, and other elements, that involved in Indexing and Searching, the scopes for limiting the resource, the logs created during the logging.

There are 2 Search APIs for the Developers. The first one the Search Administration API. It allows developers to programmatically perform the tasks administrators are doing in the Administration site of the Shared Services Provider. The bottom is the Search API. Probably for the most integrating part of the developers. This API is fully managed and consists of a rich object model.

Send Mails through Sharepoint 2007.

noreply@blogger.com (sathish nadarajan) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 11:08:00 +0000

How to Send Mail from Sharepoint 2007

Mails can be send through a Sharepoint site as mentioned below.

string strTo = “To Address”;

string strFrom = “From Address”;

string strSubject = “Subject”;

StringDictionary headers = new StringDictionary();

headers.Add("to", strTo);

headers.Add("from", strFrom);

headers.Add("subject", strSubject);

headers.Add("content-type", "text/html"); //This is the default type, so isn't neccessary.

SPUtility.SendEmail(SPContext.Current.Web, headers, “Body of the Message”);

Before doing that, we need to set the Outgoing Email Settings in the Central Administration.

We need to give the Credentials in

Attach Event Receivers in Sharepoint 2007

noreply@blogger.com (sathish nadarajan) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 10:38:00 +0000

How to Attach an Event Receiver with a List Programmatically

An event receiver can be attached with the list by 2 Ways.

1. By XML

2. By Code

1. By XML:

Any event receiver needs a Feature to Attach that Event Receiver with the List Template.

So the Feature.xml file will be like follows.

xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Feature Id="GUID"

Title="Sample Title"

Description="Sample Description"

Version="12.0.0.0"

Hidden="FALSE"

Scope="Scope of the Feature"

ImageUrl="Optional URL"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">

<ElementManifest Location="Element.xml">ElementManifest>

ElementManifests>

Feature>

The last tag is the ElementManifests Tag. In the ElementManifests Tag, we will mention the Element file. In the ElementFile only we will Attach the EventReceiver with the List by using the ListTemplateID.

The Element.xml file will be as follows.

xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<Class>Receiver Class Class>

<Assembly>Receiver AssemblyAssembly>

<Name>Name of the Event ReceiverName>

<Type>ItemAddingType>

<SequenceNumber>Any Unique Sequence NumberSequenceNumber>

Receiver>

Receivers>

Elements>

Once the Feature is Activated, then the EventReceiver “ItemAdding” is added with the Custom List. The Receiver Class will be executed when the Item is added in the List.

The EventReceiver Class needs to be inherited from the SPItemEventReceiver Class. Once this is Class is inherited, then the methods can be Overridden.

public override void ItemAdding(SPItemEventProperties properties)

{

}

2. Through Code:

The above mentioned method can be used for SPItemEventReceiver. In the Same Manner, SpWebEventReceiver Class can also be inherited and the Events Related to the Web can be triggered.

public class SearchCenterWebDeletingEventReceiver : SPWebEventReceiver

{

public override void WebDeleting(SPWebEventProperties properties)

{

try

{

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

}

This EventReceiver class needs to be Attached with the Web while creating the web itself. To accompalish that,

private void AttachWebDeletingEventReceiver(SPWeb web)

{

try

{

SPEventReceiverDefinitionCollection EventReceivers = web.EventReceivers;

SPEventReceiverDefinition EventReceiverDefinition = EventReceivers.Add();

EventReceiverDefinition.Name = EventReceiverName;

EventReceiverDefinition.Assembly = Assembly Name;

EventReceiverDefinition.Class = Class Name;

EventReceiverDefinition.Type = SPEventReceiverType.WebDeleting;

EventReceiverDefinition.SequenceNumber = Any Sequence Number;

EventReceiverDefinition.Update();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

}

Provision a Site through Programmatically C#

noreply@blogger.com (sathish nadarajan) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 10:25:00 +0000

How to Create a Sharepoint Site Programmatically using C#:

(or) Provisioning a Site using C#:

We can add a Site in a Site Collection by using the Method Add in the Class AllWebs.

For Example, If I want to add the Search Center with a site collection,

using (SPWeb newSite = currentWeb.Site.AllWebs.Add("Search", DisplayName,"Renault Search Center", currentWeb.Language, "SRCHCEN#0", false, false))

{

newSite.Navigation.UseShared = true;

PublishingWeb pWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(newSite);

pWeb.InheritCurrentNavigation = true;

pWeb.NavigationShowSiblings = false;

pWeb.IncludePagesInNavigation = false;

pWeb.IncludeSubSitesInNavigation = false;

pWeb.Update();

newSite.Update();

}

Activate and DeActivare Feature by Programmatically in Sharepoint 2007

noreply@blogger.com (sathish nadarajan) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 09:48:00 +0000

How to Activate and DeActivate Features by programmatically (C#) in Sharepoint 2007?

Activate Feature:

A feature can be activated through Programmatically as follows.

private void ActivateFeature(Guid guid)

{

try

{

SPFeature spFeature = site.Features[guid];

if (spFeature == null)

{

site.Features.Add(guid);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

MessageBox.Show("Activate : " + ex.Message);

}

DeActivate Feature:

A feature can be DeActivated programmatically as follows.

private void DeActivateFeature(Guid guid)

{

try

{

SPFeature spFeature = site.Features[guid];

if (spFeature != null)

{

site.Features.Remove(guid);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

MessageBox.Show("DeActivate : " + ex.Message);

}

Sharepoint Interview Questions II

noreply@blogger.com (sathish nadarajan) — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 11:43:00 +0000

1) What's a Feature?

A feature contains set of XML files which can be used to add functionality or customize the site. This can be activated or deactivated in different level of scopes like Farm, Web Application, Site, and Web.

Using feature we can Add a site column, Add a site content type, Add a list template, Create a list instance, Add custom actions to SharePoint's menus, Install web parts, master pages, layout pages, images and other contents, Register event handlers, Associate a content type with an existing list, Install a custom workflow, Install a custom control, Install a custom document converter

2) What's a Solution?

A Solution is a deployable and reusable package that can contain a set of Features, site definitions and assemblies that you can apply to a site, and can also enable or disable individually. A Solution is materialized in a solution file, which is a file with a CAB-based format with a .wsp extension.

With a solution you can:

Install Features ,Install assemblies in the GAC ,Install assemblies to the BIN folder of a web application ,Add assembly descriptions to the web.config safe controls section ,Set Code Access Security configurations ,Install files in the template folder of SharePoint (usually C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE) ,Install files in the root folder of SharePoint (usually C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12) ,Install a site definition

3) How to create a wsp package?

Creating a solution is a multiple step process:

Create the solution manifest file (Manifest.xml file)

Create the folder structure with all the components

Create a Diamond Directive File (.ddf file which specifies the .wsp internal folder structure)

makecab /f solution.ddf (Which will create a .wsp file and using stsadm we can deploy)

Build the Solution Package (.wsp file)

4) What is Content Type?

A content type is a reusable collection of metadata (columns), workflow, behavior, and other settings for a category of items or documents. Using this we can attach a list of columns, document template, workflow to the list.

5) What is Module?

Modules are collections of files that must be provisioned in a SharePoint web site. This type of feature element can be used to:

Add pages to a web site

Add web parts to a web site's web part gallery

Add web parts to a web part page

Add documents to a document library

Add style sheets to the a web sites style library

6) What is List Template?

A list template is a reusable definition of a SharePoint list that is used to create lists

7) What is List Instance?

A list instance is a list created by using a list template. When creating a list this way, you can override some of the list properties set in the template, and you can include data rows that will also be created as list items in the list.

8) What is Event Receivers?

SharePoint allows you to handle several events that are fired according to actions performed on items, lists and web sites. We can inherit SPItemReceiver or SPFeatureReceiver and define the events method in class.

Two types of receivers are async and sync.

9) A nice comparisons between asp.net 2.0 custom webpart and SharePoint based web part.

ASP.NET 2.0 Web Part

SharePoint-based Web Part

For most business needs.
To distribute your Web Part to sites that run ASP.NET 2.0 or SharePoint sites.
When you want to reuse one or more Web Parts created for ASP.NET 2.0 sites on SharePoint sites.
To use data or functionality provided by Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. For example, you are creating a Web Part that works with site or list data.

When you want to migrate a set of Web Parts using the SharePoint-based Web Part infrastructure to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
To create cross page connections.
To create connections between Web Parts that is outside of a Web Part zone.
To work with client-side connections (Web Part Page Services Component).
To use a data-caching infrastructure that allows caching to the content database.

10) What is SiteDefinition?

It’s a method for providing prepackaged site and list content.

11) What is Template?

A template is a pre-defined set of functions or settings that can be used over time. There are many templates within SharePoint, Site Templates, Document Templates, Document Library and List Templates.

12) CAS?

This option is most secure. An assembly can operate with a unique policy that meets the minimum permission requirements for the assembly.

13) What are the types of pages available in publishing site?

In share point there are two types of pages, one is site page and another one is Application Page

Site page is a customized page that will be in the content DB

Whereas Application page is the unghosted page, that will be in file system

Example settings.aspx

14) What is Feature Stapling?

Feature stapling is the process of associating features to existing site definitions so that, when a new site is provisioned from that definition the associated features are automatically activated.

15) What is Onet.xml?

Onet.xml is a file which is most important part of the share point site definition. It helps to create a custom site definition. Main elements of this XMl are NavBar, ListTemplates, DocumentTemplates, Configurations, and Modules.

16) What is Site Provisioning?

A site provisioning provider is a piece of code that is run by a site definition when a new site is created. By default SharePoint performs the provisioning actions of a new site. These actions can include creation of lists, activation of features etc. and, most importantly, telling the site which site definition it should be based off.

Sharepoint Interview Questions I

noreply@blogger.com (sathish nadarajan) — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 11:26:00 +0000

1) What are the two base classes a WebPart you are going to use within SharePoint 2007 can inherit from?

There are two base classes that a WebPart which is going to be consumed by SharePoint can inherit from, either the SharePoint WebPart Base class or the ASP.NET 2.0 WebPart base class. When inheriting from the SharePoint WebPart Base class your derived WebPart class will inherit from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart. When inheriting from the ASP.NET 2.0 WebPart base class your derived WebPart class will inherit from System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart. It is considered good practice to use the ASP.NET WebPart base class since the old base class is meant for backwards compatibility with previous version of SharePoint, however there are four exception when it is better to leverage functionality from the SharePoint WebPart base class:

Cross page connections

Connections between Web Parts that are outside of a Web Part zone

Client-side connections (Web Part Page Services Component)

Data caching infrastructure

2) What are the differences between the two base classes and what are the inherit benefits of using one over another?

The difference is the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart base class is meant for backward compatibility with previous versions of SharePoint. The benefit of using the SharePoint WebPart base class is it supported:

Cross page connections

Connections between Web Parts that are outside of a Web Part zone

Client-side connections (Web Part Page Services Component)

Data caching infrastructure

ASP.NET 2.0 WebParts are generally considered better to use because SharePoint is built upon the ASP.NET 2.0 web architecture. Inheriting from the ASP.NET 2.0 base class offers you features that inherit to ASP.NET 2.0, such as embedding resources as opposed to use ClassResources for deployment of said types.

3) What is the GAC?

The GAC stands for the global assembly cache. It is the machine wide code cache which will give custom binaries place into the full trust code group for SharePoint. Certain SharePoint assets, such as Feature Receivers need full trust to run correctly, and therefore are put into the GAC. You should always try to avoid deployment to the GAC as much as possible since it will possibly allow development code to do more than it was intended to do.

4) What is strong naming (signing) a WebPart assembly file mean?

Signing an assembly with a strong name (a.k.a strong naming) uses a cryptographic key pair that gives a unique identity to a component that is being built. This identity can then be referred throughout the rest of the environment. In order to install assemblies into the GAC, they must be strongly named. After signing, the binary will have a public key token identifier which can be use to register the component in various other places on the server.

5) What are safe controls, and what type of information, is placed in that element in a SharePoint web.config file?

When you deploy a WebPart to SharePoint, you must first make it as a safe control to use within SharePoint in the web.config file. Entries made in the safe controls element of SharePoint are encountered by the SharePointHandler object and will be loaded in the SharePoint environment properly, those not will not be loaded and will throw an error.

In the generic safe control entry (this is general, there could be more), there is generally the Assembly name, the namespace, the public key token numeric, the typename, and the safe declaration (whether it is safe or not). There are other optional elements.

6) What is the CreateChildControls() method? How can you use it to do something simple like displaying a Label control?

The CreateChildControls method in WebParts is used to notify the WebPart that there are children controls that should be output for rendering. Basically, it will add any child ASP.NET controls that are called instantiating each control with its relevant properties set, wire any relevant event handlers to the control, etc. Then the add method of the control class will add the control to the controls collection. In the relevant WebPart render method, the EnsureChildControls method can be called (or set to false if no child controls should be called) to ensure that the CreateChildControls method is run. When using CreateChildControls it implies that your WebPart contains a composition of child controls.

In order to create something like a label control in Create, you would create a new label control using the new keyword, set the various properties of the control like Visible=True and ForeColor = Color.Red, and then use Controls.Add(myLabelControl) to add the control to the controls collection. Then you can declare EnsureChildControls in the Render method of the WebPart.

7) What does the RenderContents method do in an ASP.NET 2.0 WebPart?

The render contents method will render the WebPart content to the writer, usually an HtmlTextWriter since WebParts will output to an HTML stream. RenderContents is used to tell how the controls that are going to be displayed in the WebPart should be rendered on the page.

*** Side Question: I got asked what the difference between CreateChildControls and the RenderContents method. The CreateChildControls method is used to add controls to the WebPart, and the RenderContents method is used to tell the page framework how to render the control into HTML to display on a page.

What is the WebPartManager sealed class? What is its purpose?

The WebPartManager sealed class is responsible for managing everything occurring on a WebPart page, such as the WebParts (controls), events, and misc. functionality that will occur in WebPartZones. For example, the WebPartManager is responsible for the functionality that is provided when you are working with moving a WebPart from WebPartZone to WebPartZone. It is known as the “the central class of the Web Part Control Set.”

*** Side Question: I got asked how many WebPartManager controls should be on a page. In order to have WebParts on a page there has to be just one WebPartManager control to manage all the WebParts on the page.

9) What is a SPSite and SPWeb object, and what is the difference between each of the objects?

The SPSite object represents a collection of sites (site collection [a top level sites and all its subsites]). The SPWeb object represents an instance SharePoint Web, and SPWeb object contains things like the actual content. A SPSite object contains the various subsites and the information regarding them.

10) How would you go about getting a reference to a site?

PLAIN TEXT

C#:

oSPSite = new SPSite("http:/server");
oSPWeb = oSPSite.OpenWeb();

11) What does a SPWebApplication object represent?

The SPWebApplication objects represents a SharePoint Web Application, which essentially is an IIS virtual server. Using the class you can instigate high level operations, such as getting all the features of an entire Web Application instance, or doing high level creation operations like creating new Web Applications through code.

12) Would you use SPWebApplication to get information like the SMTP address of the SharePoint site?

Yes, since this is a Web Application level setting. You would iterate through each SPWebApplication in the SPWebApplication collection, and then use the appropriate property calls (OutboundMailServiceInstance) in order to return settings regarding the mail service such as the SMTP address.

Side Question: I got asked if there are other ways to send emails from SharePoint. The answer is yes, there is. You can use the SendMail method from the SPutility class to send simple emails, however it is not as robust as using the System.Net.Mail functionality since it doesn’t allow things like setting priorities on the email.

13) How do you connect (reference) to a SharePoint list, and how do you insert a new List Item?

PLAIN TEXT

C#:

using(SPSite mySite = new SPSite("yourserver"))
{
using(SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb())
{
SPList interviewList = myWeb.Lists["listtoinsert"];
SPListItem newItem = interviewList.Items.Add();
newItem["interview"] = "interview";
newItem.Update();
}
}

14) How would you loop using SPList through all SharePont List items, assuming you know the name (in a string value) of the list you want to iterate through, and already have all the site code written?

PLAIN TEXT

C#:

SPList interviewList = myWeb.Lists["listtoiterate"];
foreach (SPListItem interview in interviewList)
{
// Do Something
}

15) How do you return SharePoint List items using SharePoint web services?

In order to retrieve list items from a SharePoint list through Web Services, you should use the lists.asmx web service by establishing a web reference in Visual Studio. The lists.asmx exposes the GetListItems method, which will allow the return of the full content of the list in an XML node. It will take parameters like the GUID of the name of the list you are querying against, the GUID of the view you are going to query, etc.

Side Question: I got asked how I built queries with the lists.asmx web service. In order to build queries with this service, one of the parameters that the GetListItems method exposes is the option to build a CAML query. There are other ways to do this as well, but that was how I answered it.

16) When retrieving List items using SharePoint Web Services, how do you specify explicit credentials to be passed to access the list items?

In order to specify explicit credentials with a Web Service, you generally instantiate the web service, and then using the credentials properties of the Web Service object you use the System.Net.NetworkCredential class to specify the username, password, and domain that you wish to pass when making the web service call and operations.

*** Side Question: I got asked when you should state the credentials in code. You must state the credentials you are going to pass to the web service before you call any of the methods of the web service, otherwise the call will fail.

17) What is CAML, and why would you use it?

CAML stands for Collaborative Application Markup Language. CAML is an XML based language which provides data constructs that build up the SharePoint fields, view, and is used for table definition during site provisioning. CAML is responsible for rending data and the resulting HTML that is output to the user in SharePoint. CAML can be used for a variety of circumstances, overall is used to query, build and customize SharePoint based sites. A general use would be building a CAML query in a SharePoint WebPart in order to retrieve values from a SharePoint list.
18) What is impersonation, and when would you use impersonation?

Impersonation can basically provide the functionality of executing something in the context of a different identity, for example assigning an account to users with anonymous access. You would use impersonation in order to access resources on behalf of the user with a different account, that normally, that wouldn’t be able to access or execute something.

19) What is the IDesignTimeHtmlProvider interface, and when can you use it in WebParts?

The IDesignTimeHtmlProvider interface uses the function GetDesignTimeHtml() which can contain your relevant render methods. It was helpful to use in 2003 since it allowed your WebPart to have a preview while a page was edited in FrontPage with the Webpart on it, because the GetDesignTimeHtml() method contains the HTML for the designer to render.

20) What are WebPart properties, and what are some of the attributes you see when declaring WebPart properties in code?

WebPart properties are just like ASP.NET control properties, they are used to interact with and specify attributes that should be applied to a WebPart by a user. Some of the attributes you see with ASP.NET 2.0 properties are WebDescription, WebDisplayName, Category, Personalizable, and WebBrowsable. Although most of these properties come from the System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts class, ones like Category come out of System.ComponentModel namespace.

21) Why are properties important in WebPart development, and how have you exploited them in past development projects? What must each custom property have?

Properties are important because WebParts allow levels of personalization for each user. WebPart properties make it possible for a user to interact, adjust, and increase overall experience value with the programmatic assets that you develop without having the need to use an external editor or right any code. A very simple example of exploiting a property would be something like allowing the user to change the text on the WebPart design interface so that they can display whatever string of text they desire.

Each custom property that you have must have the appropriate get and set accessor methods.

22) What are ClassResources? How do you reference and deploy resources with an ASP.NET 2.0 WebPart?

ClassResources are used when inheriting from the SharePoint.WebPart.WebPartPages.WebPart base class, and are defined in the SharePoint solution file as things that should be stored in the wpresources directory on the server. It is a helpful directory to use in order to deploy custom images. In ASP.NET 2.0, typically things such as images are referenced by embedding them as resources within an assembly. The good part about ClassResources is they can help to eliminate recompiles to change small interface adjustments or alterations to external JavaScript files.

23) What is a SharePoint Solution File? How does it differ from WebPart .cab files in legacy development? What does it contain?

A SharePoint solution file is essentially a .cabinet file with all a developers ustom componets suffixed with a .wsp extension that aids in deployment. The big difference with SharePoint solution files is is that a solution:

allows deployment to all WFE’s in a farm

is highly manageable from the interface allowing deployment, retraction, and versioning

Can package all types of assets like site definitions, feature definitions (and associated components), Webparts, etc.

Can provide Code Access Security provisioning to avoid GAC deployments

Just to name a few things…

24) What is a .ddf file and what does it have to do with SharePoint Solution creation?

A .ddf file is a data directive file and is used when building the SharePoint solution bundle specifying the source files and their destination locations. The important thing for someone to understand is that the .ddf file will be passed as a parameter to the MAKECAB utility to orchestrate construction of the SharePoint solution fiel.

25) What file does a SharePoint solution package use to orchestrate (describe) its packaged contents?

The solution Manifest.XML file.

26) What deployment mechanism can you use to instigate Code Access Security attributes for your WebParts?

SharePoint solution files can add in order to handle code access security deployment issues. This is done in the element in the SharePoint solution manifest.XML, which makes it easier to get assemblies the appropriate permissions in order to operate in the bin directory of the web application.

27) What is a SharePoint Feature? What files are used to define a feature?

A SharePoint Feature is a functional component that can be activated and deactivate at various scopes throughout a SharePoint instances, such as at the farm, site collection, web, etc. Features have their own receiver architecture, which allow you to trap events such as when a feature is installing, uninstalling, activated, or deactivated. They are helpful because they allow ease of upgrades and versioning.

The two files that are used to define a feature are the feature.xml and manifest file. The feature XML file defines the actual feature and will make SharePoint aware of the installed feature. The manifest file contains details about the feature such as functionality.

Side Question: I got asked how the introduction of features has changed the concept of site definitions. SharePoint features are important when understanding the architecture of site definitions, since the ONET.XML file has been vastly truncated since it has several feature stapled on it.

28) What types of SharePoint assets can be deployed with a SharePoint feature?

Features can do a lot. For example, you could deploy

Simple site customizations

Custom site navigation

WebParts

pages

list types

list instances

event handlers

workflows

custom actions

just to name a few….

29) What are event receivers?

Event receivers are classes that inherit from the SpItemEventReciever or SPListEventReciever base class (both of which derive out of the abstract base class SPEventRecieverBase), and provide the option of responding to events as they occur within SharePoint, such as adding an item or deleting an item.

30) When would you use an event receiver?

Since event receivers respond to events, you could use a receiver for something as simple as canceling an action, such as deleting a document library by using the Cancel property. This would essentially prevent users from deleting any documents if you wanted to maintain retention of stored data.

31) What base class do event receivers inherit from?

Event receivers either inherit from the SPListEventReciever base class or the SPItemEventReciever base class, both which derive from the abstract base class SPEventReceiverBase.

32) If I wanted to not allow people to delete documents from a document library, how would I go about it?

You would on the ItemDeleting event set: properties.Cancel= true.

33) What is the difference between an asynchronous and synchronous event receivers?

An asynchronous event occurs after an action has taken place, and a synchronous event occurs before an action has take place. For example, an asynchronous event is ItemAdded, and its sister synchronous event is ItemAdding.

34) How could you append a string to the title of a site when it is provisioned?

In the OnActivated event:

PLAIN TEXT

C#:

SPWeb site = siteCollection.RootWeb;
site.Title += "interview";
site.Update();

35) Can an event receiver be deployed through a SharePoint feature?

Yes.

36) What is a content type?

A content type is an information blueprint basically that can be re-used throughout a SharePoint environment for defining things like metadata and associated behaviors. It is basically an extension of a SharePoint list, however makes it portable for use throughout an instance regardless of where the instantiation occurs, ergo has location independence. Multiple content types can exist in one document library assuming that the appropriate document library settings are enabled. The content type will contain things like the metadata, listform pages, workflows, templates (if a document content type), and associated custom written functionality.

37) Can a content type have receivers associated with it?

Yes, a content type can have an event receiver associated with it, either inheriting from the SPListEventReciever base class for list level events, or inheriting from the SPItemEventReciever base class. Whenever the content type is instantiated, it will be subject to the event receivers that are associated with it.

38) What two files are typically (this is kept generally) included when developing a content type, and what is the purpose of each?

There is generally the main content type file that holds things like the content type ID, name, group, description, and version. There is also the ContentType.Fields file which contains the fields to include in the content type that has the ID, Type, Name, DisplayName, StaticName, Hidden, Required, and Sealed elements. They are related by the FieldRefs element in the main content type file.

39) What is an ancestral type and what does it have to do with content types?

An ancestral type is the base type that the content type is deriving from, such as Document (0x0101). The ancestral type will define the metadata fields that are included with the custom content type.

40) Can a list definition be derived from a custom content type?

Yes, a list definition can derive from a content type which can be seen in the schema.XML of the list definition in the element.

41) When creating a list definition, how can you create an instance of the list?

You can create a new instance of a list by creating an instance.XML file.

42) What is a Field Control?

Field controls are simple ASP.NET 2.0 server controls that provide the basic field functionality of SharePoint. They provide basic general functionality such as displaying or editing list data as it appears on SharePoint list pages.

43) What base class do custom Field Controls inherit from?

This varies. Generally, custom field controls inherit from the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.BaseFieldControl namespace, but you can inherit from the default field controls.

44) What is a SharePoint site definition? What is ghosted (uncustomized) and unghosted (customized)?

SharePoint site definitions are the core set of functionality from which SharePoint site are built from, building from the SiteTemplates directory in the SharePoint 12 hive. Site definitions allow several sites to inherit from a core set of files on the file system, although appear to have unique pages, thereby increasing performance and allowing changes that happen to a site propagate to all sites that inherit from a site definition. Ghosted means that when SharePoint creates a new site it will reference the files in the related site definition upon site provisioning. Unghosted means that the site has been edited with an external editor, and therefore the customizations are instead stored in the database, breaking the inheritance of those files from the file system.

45) How does one deploy new SharePoint site definitions so that they are made aware to the SharePoint system?

The best way to deploy site definitions in the SharePoint 2007 framework is to use a SharePoint solution file, so that the new site definition is automatically populated to all WFE’s in the SharePoint farm.

How to Read Resource file values in Sharepoint 2007

noreply@blogger.com (sathish nadarajan) — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:25:00 +0000

How to Read values from Resource files in Sharepoint 2007.

In sharepoint the Resource files can be placed in many places. Some of them are listed below.

1. Under 12\Resources

The resources which needs to be placed by the time of provisioning itself can be placed under this. The values can be retired in code by as follows.

Through c#

a. string strTrial = SPUtility.GetLocalizedString("$Resources:

spscore,Key", "spscore", web.Language);

web -> Current web.

From XML

b. Title="$Resources:spscore, Key"

i.e., The Title of the Feature, Description etc can be taken from this location.

2. Under 12\Config\Resources

We cannot retrieve the data from here. The resource files should be copied to Virtual Directories.

3. Under Virtual Directories

String strTrial = HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject("Resource File name without Extn", "Key", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(Convert.ToInt32(web.Language))))

4. Under the Feature Folder

string strTrial = SPUtility.GetLocalizedString("$Resources:

spscore,Key", "spscore", web.Language);

web -> Current web.

Domain Name System Overview

noreply@blogger.com (sathish nadarajan) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:46:00 +0000

Introduction
Since the Internet has become essential for software engineers, its useful to know about the Domain Name System. The article attempts to Give a brief description of DNS Talk about the naming conventions used What is A-Records and CNAME Records How to Get a List of A-Records from a DNS. Though DNS is a very vast concept, which cannot be explained in one single article, Ive tried to do my best to give you a picture.
Domain Name System: (DNS)
It is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, theyre easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4 The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesnt know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.
DNS name structure:

DNS names are constructed hierarchically. The highest level of the hierarchy being the last component or label of the DNS address. Labels can be up to 63 characters long and are case insensitive. A maximum length of 255 characters is allowed. Labels must start with a letter and can only consist of letters, digits and hyphens. [Unfortunately some administrators construct names that start with digits. This is wrong and can easily cause problems with software that simply inspects the first character of a host address to determine whether a DNS name or an IP address has been quoted.]. Some of the Key points regarding the Naming are as follows.
Arpa This is a special facility used for reverse translation, i.e. going from IP address to fully qualified domain address. If everything is properly configured a suitably framed query for 1.4.220.134.in-addr.arpa will return sunc.scit.wlv.ac.uk.
3 letter codes The DNS was originally introduced in the United States of America and the final component of an address was intended to indicate the type of organization hosting the computer. Some of the three letter final labels (edu, gov, mil) are still only used by organizations based in the USA, others can be used anywhere in the world.
Two letter codes The final two letter codes indicate the country of origin and are defined in ISO 3166 with the minor exception that UK is used for the United Kingdom rather than gb although there are some .gb sites. [This apparently happened because the ISO committee was unaware that Northern Ireland was part of the United Kingdom but not part of Great Britain.]
Some sites in the United States of America use the two-letter code US. In some countries there are sub-domains indicating the type of organization such as ac.uk, co.uk, sch.uk in the United Kingdom and edu.au and com.au in Australia. Most European countries have not adopted this useful practice. A fuller discussion of the United Kingdom DNS domains is provided by the UK Network Information Center. To obtain a domain address it is necessary to identify the administrator of the required domain and then all that is basically necessary is to send the administrator the required code and the associated IP address and they will, if they accept the request, include the details in their databases. Conditions for acceptance vary widely between administrators, the administrators for the com and org being, apparently, quite happy to accept anything from anywhere.

A-Records: "A" Records are what DNS really boils down to. An A record gives you the IP address of a domain. That way, users that try to go to www.example.com will get to the right IP address.

Get a list of all your A records There are several ways you can go about this. The best way is with a Zone Transfer. This will show you every record in your DNS. However, your name servers may refuse zone transfers to any computer except the secondary name servers. In that case, you'll have to go to one of the name servers, and get the master zone file.To do a zone transfer in NSLOOKUP, first type "server nameserver.example.com", where "nameserver.example.com" is one of your name servers (try the primary name server first, if it doesn't work, try the secondary(s)). Then, type "ls -d example.com". If you have a lot of entries, you might want to save it to disk using "ls -d example.com > filename.txt", where filename.txt is the name of the file to save to (you might not be able to choose a directory, it may place it automatically in the directory you are in). This will list all records in your zone.To do a zone transfer in Sam Spade, go to the Tools menu, and choose "Zone Transfer" (if it is grayed out, go to the Edit menu, choose Options, then the Advanced table, and click 'Enable zone transfers'). Enter your domain as the domain to transfer zone information from. Enter your primary nameserver as the nameserver to use. If your primary nameserver refuses to do a zone transfer, try the secondary nameserver(s). Just pay attention to the A records for now.If you can't get a zone transfer, the next step is to get the zone file from your primary nameserver (you'll may need to look at the instructions for your DNS server software to see where the file is located). Then, use NSLOOKUP, DIG, or other software to check all the A records (using your primary name server as the name server to use) for the domain names listed in the zone file to make sure that they match. If you don't have access to your nameservers (if an ISP handles your DNS, for example), and you can't do a zone transfer or get the zone file, you should at least know the subdomains on your domain (for example, "www.example.com" and "mail.example.com"). Use NSLOOKUP, DIG, or other software to look up the A record for each of those domains (using your primary nameservers as the name server to use).

Note: If you know a subdomain exists (such as www.example.com), but there is no "A" record, that may be O.K. -- there could be a CNAME record pointing to another record that has an A record. For example, "www.example.com CNAME sparky.example.com" with a corresponding "sparky.example.com A 10.11.12.13". However, it is best to avoid using CNAMEs unless you are quite familiar with them!

Note: CNAME records are "canonical name" records. DNS allows machines to have a true (canonical name), as well as an unlimited number of aliases. The CNAME record takes care of aliases. These should only be used when absolutely necessary, unless you are very familiar with DNS, since they can cause lots of problems if not used properly.
