SharePoint 2010 Book

Hello SharePointers!

No post since ages, I know. I actually was busy with my book on SharePoint 2010 with a team of authors...surprrrrrise :o). The title of the book is Expert SharePoint 2010 Practices and it has been published by APress.

This book is available for pre-order for now and will be finally launched on Oct 15, 2011. This book is a great source of knowledge for Architects and Developers who are keen about SharePoint 2010. Don't forget to leave the feedback.


Happy Reading.

Replacing URL in HTML using JQuery

Scenario:
Sometimes if a list is currupted, Allitems.aspx's HTML starts acting weird and we dont want to spend too much time to dig deep into the problem but want a quick fix and endup fixing the HTML. Same goes here.

Solution:
Following code change the URLs in a page to a predefined URL.

<script type="text/javascript">

 if(typeof jQuery=="undefined")
 {
  var jQsrc="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.4.min.js";
  document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='"+jQsrc+"' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
 }
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {
  //find all hyperlinks in the table holding calendar links and
  //change them to point at the display page instead of the edit page
  $("table[id^='CalViewTable']").find("a[href*='OldForm.aspx']").each(function(){
  var originalUrl = $(this).attr("href");
  var newUrl = originalUrl.replace("OldForm.aspx", "NewForm.aspx");
$(this).attr("href", newUrl);
});
});

</script>

SharePoint Client Object Model vs Server Object Model Classes

One of the new feature of SharePoint 2010 is the Client Object Model. By using Client Object Model, developers can build the applications which can talk to SharePoint without using WebServices and without deploying any server side code.

Following is the list of Client Object Model classes and their equivalent to Server Object Model classes:

Client Object Model	Server Object Model
ClientContext	SPContext
Site	SPSite
Web	SPWeb
List	SPList
ListItem	SPListItem
Field	SPField

Example:

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

private void SomeMethod()
{
  ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
  Site siteCollection = clientContext.Site;
  Web site = clientContext.Web;
}
