sharepoint foundation + delete item + Cannot complete this action.

I have created some lists & related lists using object model. Im changing my column names also at the time of creating the field with SPRelationshipDeleteBehavior.

when I try to delete the item in parent list, istead of showing the message "This item cannot be deleted because ....." , it threw error like "Cannot complete this action...", when I check log , no luck. (found one related to lock, not sure what it is).

Then after long trial and error methods, I changed my code to two parts.
1. Create lists and related lists
2. for the specific fields set deleterelationshipBehaviour

from then its working. I guess the field name might cause the error, as index is created using old name.

add additional fields in sharepoint list 2010, using object model

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff623048.aspx

here is the logic

string strFirstNameCol = relatedList.Fields.AddDependentLookup("First Name", primaryCol.Id);
SPFieldLookup firstNameCol = (SPFieldLookup)relatedList.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName(strFirstNameCol);


where, "primaryCol" is the main look up field in the second list.

The language-neutral solution package was not found

Sometimes u get this error while deploying ur package, then u can try the following commands in sharepoint 2010 powershell

//find the deployed solutinos
get-spsolution

//then replace mysol with ur solution
(get-spsolution mysol.wsp).Delete()

then try to deploy ur sol. again

Timer jobs in sharepoint (WSS) subsites

http://sharepoint2010shyju.blogspot.com/2010/12/creating-custom-timer-job.html?showComment=1296184785817#c3173481420652015259

please refer this link. I must say thanks to the author Mohan for his great post.

the logic is

1. use the properties like below in ur timer job class

[Persisted()]
public string MyCustomProperty;

2. assign the url of the web (site/subsite..whatever) to the property in feature activated event

SPWeb webN = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;
taskLoggerJob.MyCustomProperty = webN.ServerRelativeUrl;

Note:- my scope is web

3. Use the property in Execute method

SPSite _siteCol = new SPSite(this.WebApplication.Sites[0].Url);
SPWeb _site = _siteCol.AllWebs[MyCustomProperty]; //

Note:- I have one site collection, (u can refer ur site collection using contentdbId)

:-), thats it...Happy coding

SharePoint Foundation + Search Server 2010

http://sptechpoint.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/your-search-cannot-be-completed-because-this-site-is-not-assigned-to-an-indexer/

This blog saved my day. Once you install the SSE, u have to configure it in Central Admin site

1. Go to Central Admin as login as the farm Administrator

2. Go to Application Management tab

3. Select SharePoint Web Application Management heading | Content databases

4. Ensure your web application is the one selected

5. Select your content database name

6. Under Search Server – select your server (if your search server drop down is disabled please follow the additional steps below)

7. Go to 12 hive folder and open stsadm.exe utility

8. Run the following command psconfig.exe -cmd services -install

9. Then run stsadm -o spsearch -action start (specify the farm account if required)


Thnx to the author of the mentioned link

SharePoint 2010 BCS

Good site I found is

Thanks a lot bro.

It is missing the CREATE/DELETE method, here it is

public static BookEntity Create(BookEntity bookEntity)
{

books.Insert(books.Count, String.Format("{0},{1},{2},{3},{4}", bookEntity.ISBN,
bookEntity.Name, bookEntity.Author, bookEntity.Price, bookEntity.Publisher));

return bookEntity;
}

public static void Delete(string parameter)
{
books.Remove(books.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Contains(parameter)));
}
