LINQ to SharePoint

New Post: CreatedBy and ModifiedBy fields not generated

HairyMike — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:18:26 GMT

Hello guys,

Just started using LinqToSharepoint for SP2007. Its really nice to have strongly typed linq queries as opposed to CAML to work with. Thanks for this :)

I can see that CreatedBy and ModifiedBy are not generated by SPMetal. Seems to be because they are not part of a content type.

I've seen a few blogs on how to make this info available in sharepoint 2010. For us poor souls stuck in 2007, is there a way to accomplish this without too much pain?

Many thanks,

Mike

Hi Friends,

when we create clasess for linq to sharepoint using spmetal utility

and suppose some one rename list name from front end

will it work with exiting class(linq to sharepoint)

DataContext data = new DataContext(SPContext.Current.Web.Url);
Listname = data.GetList<Listname>("List name");

above code will not working if user change list name

is it possible to use list url instead of List name in spmetal utility

Thanks for posting this (though has it been 4 years ago already). There's one thing, about querying choice-lists: I'm currently trying to query a list with a filter on a single-choice field. Code looks like this: ========================== from r in ppbData.P_Planverzoek where r.StatusPlanverzoek == StatusPlanverzoek.Ingepland select r.StatusPlanverzoek; ========================== Where ppbData is the datacontext, created by SPMetal. However, the where-clause is nót beïng translated into CAML, so it first retrieves the whole list to memory, then uses LINQ to Object to do actually perform the where-clause. Do you happen to have any idea as to how to filter on a specific choice, that will get properly translated to CAML? Thanks in advance :)

New Post: Query SPList with lookupmulti field

gduan2000 — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 23:53:45 GMT

I am getting this issue when using LinqToSharePoint to query a SPList with LookupMulti field.

For example, I have a SPList called User, in this list, there is a column called CostCenters, which is a lookup field (allow multiple value) links to CostCenter, another SPList. When I query the User list using the following statement, say there are 5 entries in the User list,

var users = from u in context.User select u;

If all 5 entries have value (any # of value) in the CostCenters column, it will return me 5 (users).

If any entry has empty CostCenters, the query will return null for the users. I actually still expect 5 users.

Has anybody encountered the same issue? Is this a bug?

I have spent a couple days trying to figure this out. If this doesn't work, that means I have to switch back to CAMLQuery... !@#!%!

Thanks,

Gary

Commented Issue: Not working when list is not on root web [9109]

dolan — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:49:47 GMT

Hi Bart,
Generation tools are not working when site is not at the root. for example http://localhost/site/MyPublishingSite gives an error "cannot connect to sharepoint". The site must be at the root "http://localhost"
Comments: ** Comment from web user: dolan **

I have this working on a subsite actually. I think this is an incorrect geenralization

If anybody can confirm this, that'll be great...

Ok, thanks for your answer. I'm waiting for the SP 2010 then :)

This project might be dead on codeplex, but not gone for good. They made spmetal a OOB tool in 2010 and Linq is OOB in 2010 too.

I've been playing with Linq on 2010 and love it. Just tried to get Linq working on 2007 and am really disappointed. spmetal on codeplex is sooo buggy. Looks like someone made the decision to rewrite it for 2010 and stop supporting it for 2007

Created Issue: Error message not accurate in the wizard [14416]

SandRock — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:58:54 GMT

Hi,

I'm using the wizard for the first time. In the "connect to sharepoint site" page, I entered a valid WSDL url.
When I hit "Test connection" an error message is displayed: "Failed to connect to the sharepoint site.".

This message is not really helpfull. Is this a DNS error? A network timeout? Is the TCP port closed? Is this a wrong url? Authentication failure? Printing the exception message might be okay.

Bye.

Commented Issue: installing on vista with VS2008 [9281]

SandRock — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:50:54 GMT

Could not load file of assembly 'BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq.Tools.EntityGenerator, Version=0.2.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKey Token=c9246ff4557ee8a2'
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

when trying to add LINQ to SharePoint file to project.

Currently only the BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq.ObjectModelProvider and BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq.Tools.Spml dll's are present in the GAC, should the other dll's also be added?

Any ideas?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: SandRock **

Using the following command in VS Command Prompt (as Administrator) solved the problem.

gacutil /i "c:\Program Files (x86)\BdsSoft LINQ to SharePoint\BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq.Tools.EntityGenerator.dll"

Same here. Just installed the package on Windows 7, VS2008SP1.

New Post: SPMetal: Exporting all Lists

senfo — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:42:48 GMT

I would like to generate an entity class for each lists in my SharePoint site. The documentation is written as follows:

-list:<list> Name of the list to export (* = all lists)

My understanding is that I would use the * to export all lists like the following:

spmetal -url:foo.com -list:*

Doing so, however, causes the following error: Failed to generate SPML. Cannot load the list definition for *

What am I doing wrong?

It seems that for some reason selecting a list that consist of two words (space between them) like "Shared Documents" or "Team Discussions" will not work !!

classes are not generated for these list ? any help ?

Thanks

cooldude_82 — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:39:08 GMT

I guess I figured it out, selecting all lists in the wizard will not generated classes ..but If I select only one list like (Tasks) , I will get the classes generated ..

this framework is really great.
