    Hi
    I want to develop a form for SharePoint 2010 by using Visual Studio.Net. This form has 5 columns:
    1) one column is fixed
    2) 2 columns will receive their data from SQLServer
    3) 2 columns will fill by user. (just entering value)

    Do you have any idea? I tries Microsoft InfoPath, but It is not very good. Now I want to do it but using Visual Studio.Net 2010

      Hi!

      I’d recommand you to use an site page or application page to do this. just collect the external data and the user input and create a list item on postback.

        Hi Ikarstein

        I create a webpage, I add Grid view and my form is Ok, but I don’t know how to create a list item on postback, I’ll be grateful if you can help me.
        Also I have two more questions:
        a) Can I set workflow on the form easily? (basically the form is going to fill with different stakeholders, So I want to set a workflow for this form which is like SharePoint workflow but each stakeholder see his own part of the form.

        b) When we deploy a webpage in ASP.Net , the webpage will deploy to “http://localhost/~Layouts/projectName/Test.aspx
        But I want to deploy my webpage to the specific path, how can I manage this?

        Thanks for your help

    Hi Ingo,

    I’ve been trying to use your PS2EXE program on a Windows XP machine (and old Toshiba laptop), with no success. It did work on a Win7 machine, however (a newer Toshiba laptop…). Compiling a script to exe on the Win7 machine, then transferring the exe to the Windows XP machine, did not work either.

    The “verbose” gives me error “CS0234: The type or namespace ‘Powershell’ does not exist in the namespace ‘System.Management.Automation’ ”

    Could it be a problem with a Powershell version, XP in general or me doing something wrong?

    Also, I followed the syntax that is embedded within the PS2EXE.PS1 file, which is:

    Write-Host “Usage:”
    Write-Host “”
    Write-Host ” powershell.exe -command “”&’.\ps2exe.ps1′ [-inputFile] ” [-outputFile] ””" [-verbose] [-debug]”
    Write-Host “”
    Write-Host ” inputFile = PowerShell script that you want to convert to EXE”
    Write-Host ” outputFile = destination EXE file name”
    Write-Host ” verbose = Output verbose informations – if any”
    Write-Host ” debug = generate debug informations for output file”

    while the instructions on http://ps2exe.codeplex.com/ look like this:

    PS C:\> .\ps2exe.ps1 -inputFile c:\test.ps1 c:\test.exe

    Which is correct?

    Thanks in advance!
    Assaf

    I have a Sharepoint list with 2 views.
    There are 8 columns in this list.

    I want in the FORM fields of the List (where you add a New Item), 2 columns should be hidden in 1st view, and it can be seen in 2nd view.

    Plz tell me how to do that???

      Shailesh,

      I’m late… sorry! – It’s no problem to hide columns in List Views! Just edit the List View by using the “Modify current View” button on the Ribbon. There you get a List of all columns shown on the list view. There you can select/deselect columns.

      Hi!

      did you mean the “Datasheet View” you can select in the Ribbon menu? – If yes, you won’t have any chance to manipulate it. – This “view” is a nothing else than a ActiveX control that loads you local Microsoft Access. If you do not have Access on your machine the “Datasheet View” won’t work… You cannot manipulate this view. I think so. Maybe there is an solution out there… Sorry.

              Suresh,

              this is not possible! The “Datasheet View” is a ActiveX control that shows Microsoft Access in the browser. It’s not possible to modify it! – But – of course – you could create your own ActiveX control and publish it on client machines. This would very very much work!

              Kind regards
              Ingo

              Suresh,

              again: it’s not possible to modify the “Datasheet View” because it’s an ActiveX control that is installed on every client machine with Microsft Office (Access) on it.

              Kind regards

                hi suresh,

                I do not have a SharePoint 2007 workflow solution that I could share with the community. Sorry! – And I do not want to develop for SharePoint 2007 in my spare time ;-)

                You could try this: Download SharePoint Foundation 2010 and use Visual Studio 2010 to develop a workflow for this system. After that you will be competent to do the same with Visual Studio 2008 and SharePoint 2007. It’s almost the same but Visual Studio 2008 does not have the (almost perfect) project templates for SharePoint… I recommand you to use WSPBuilder for SharePoint 2007 development.

                kind regards
                ingo
