Adding Web Part to Site Defination Default.aspx (continued)

Following the previous post, I was trying to automate adding my simple custom web part to the site defination so that the created site will appear as follow

so I tried looking at the page source using SharePoint designer, copy the defination to the default.aspx page, and it works!

The code boxed in green are the parts I copied to the default.aspx page.

Showing Image from DB in ASP.NET

Using the Employees table within Northwind database, we are trying to get the image from the Photo column. Here are the source code: ImageHandler.ashx

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Data.Sql;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

public class ImageHandler: IHttpHandler 
{
    public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) 
    {
        string _cnnString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["cnxstring"].ToString();
        SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(_cnnString); 
       
        string sql = "SELECT Photo FROM [Employees] WHERE [EmployeeID] = @ID"; 
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, myConnection);
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@ID", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int).Value = context.Request.QueryString["id"];
         
        myConnection.Open();
        byte[] pict = (byte[])cmd.ExecuteScalar();
        myConnection.Close();

        context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpg";
        context.Response.OutputStream.Write(pict, 78, pict.Length - 78); 
          
    } 
}

How it looks

View XML in IE (REST/OData call for WCF service)

When you type a REST URL on Internet explorer,
Example: http://localhost/test/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/MyContacts
you might see something like this

to view it in XML, go to Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Content > Settings > uncheck 'Turn on feed reading view'
and you will see the XML source on the browser (or you can always use the view source option)
For http://localhost/test/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/MyContacts(1)

Windows Form ComboBox Text Filtering Drop Down


       static string[] x = { "Afghanistan", "Afgff", "Albania", "Bahrain", "Bhutan", "Cambodia", "Denmark", 
                                  "Egypt", "Finland", "Guyana", "Guinea", "Haiti", "Iceland", "Ireland", "Jamaica", "Jordan" };
       ArrayList flist = new ArrayList(x);
       public Form1()
       {
           InitializeComponent();

           this.cbxList.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDown;
           this.cbxList.Items.AddRange(x);
           this.cbxList.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.ListItems;
           this.cbxList.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;
       }

Breakdown of the ComboBox settings with help from MSDN

this.cbxList.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDown;

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.combobox.dropdownstyle.aspx
The DropDownStyle property specifies whether the list is always displayed or whether the list is displayed in a drop-down. That is, the different styles allowed are,

Simple - list has no drop down arrow, text editable
DropDown - list displayed by clicking down arrow and text is editable
DropDownList - Similiar to DropDown but text is not editable

this.cbxList.Items.AddRange(x);

This just adds array of items to the ComboBox. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.combobox.objectcollection.addrange.aspx

this.cbxList.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.ListItems;

Gets or sets a value specifying the source of complete strings used for automatic completion. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.textbox.autocompletesource.aspx. Values available are,

FileSystem
HistoryList
RecentlyUsedList
AllUrl
AllSystemSources
FileSystemDirectories
CustomSource
None
ListItems

More information at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.autocompletesource.aspx

this.cbxList.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;

Type of auto complete available

None
Suggest - filter appears at drop down
Append - just appends the most likely string to the text
SuggestAppend - Suggests AND Append

Add CEWP into NewForm.aspx


InsertWebPartIntoNewFormPage("http://site/test/", "Lists/SubjectList/NewForm.aspx");


public void InsertWebPartIntoNewFormPage(string siteUrl, string pageFile)
        {  
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteUrl))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                {
                    ContentEditorWebPart wp = new ContentEditorWebPart();
                    
                    using (SPLimitedWebPartManager manager = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(web.Url + pageFile, PersonalizationScope.Shared))
                    {
                        manager.AddWebPart(wp, "Left", 0);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Include JavaScript with Code in CEWP

I was trying to programmatically insert a JavaScript src code into a Content Editor Web Part.

The problem was that using the Content Link, when I insert the link to the file, it worked, but when I try a

 <script src="/test/SiteAssets/World.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

No hello box appeared!

Cost me about 3 hours when I thought I try to use

alert ('hello');

without the <script> tag in my World.js file. That worked!
