New Post: Save Custom User Control Properties from ToolParts

horiatu — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:57:07 GMT

I have a ToolPart added to a SmartPart.

I need this tool to modify another browsable property.

however the WebPartToEdit returned bu the ToolPart returns a SmartPart, not my user control, and I have no idea how to access (and save) my browsable properties.
SmartParts have a property - "Hashtable UserControlProperties" - which would o well, however it is non-public!

Any ideas, please?

New Post: Move Smartpart DLL from GAC to /BIN

wgyger — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:22:19 GMT

Is there anyway to install Smartpart in a subweb's /Bin directory, rather than the GAC? The install wizard does not provide an option for this, and due to security concerns, I need to put the assembly under a specific website within sharepoint. Thanks.

New Post: Unable to add selected Web Part

evanburen — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:01:27 GMT

I've had SmartPart successfully installed and working on WSS 3.0 for several months but a WSS crash forced me to reinstall WSS and reconfigure my web.config for Smart Part. All of the SmartParts that were previously installed are working but when I try and add a new one, I get a popup error message in IE saying 'Unable to add selected Web Part' and the error below is generated in the WSS logs. To really add a twist to this, I am able to add new SmartParts from my PC at home and from my co-workers machine logged in under my name. I don't understand why I would not be able to add a SmartPart from only 1 machine (all machines have IE 7). Thanks

COMMENTED ISSUE: error when adding a SmartPart with AJAX

Zoslo — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:10:29 GMT

When I choose to add a Web Part, " that can host any ASP .NET Web User Control and supports the ASP .NET AJAX Extensions. (version 1.3),
I get a dialog box with the following message:
"
Unable to add selected web part(s).

SmartPart with AJAX: The Web Part you attemped to add no longer exists in the Closed Web Parts Gallery. Refresh your brouwser to update the Web Part Page and the Gallery.
"
Adding a regular SmartPart version 1.3 works... So this Web Part is activated. (in "Site Collection Features")
Does anybody knows what I can do to add this web part ?
(I want to use this web part because I use AJAX)
Comments: ** Comment from web user: Zoslo **

Exactly the same problem. Can't figure it out. Framework 3.5 installed, registrations to web.config added... Am I missing something?

NEW POST: Problems in IE6 with AJAX Tabpanel

Jeepie — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 08:48:20 GMT

Hello,

I am using the AJAXsmartpart in MOSS2007. For some strange reason when I use a tabpanel (inside my usercontrol) and on one off the tabs I place a gridview containing images, none of the images are visible! After a postback the images are visible again. This only occurs with IE6 (obviously...) and works fine in FireFox and IE7. Now I know that IE6 has more than one issue with AJAX (e.g. updatepanel being very slow) but I could not find any similar case so my question is does anyone have similar problems and maybe even a solution for this strange IE6 behavior?

thx.

NEW POST: "Could not load " error from fresh install

mdausmann — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 07:04:50 GMT

I was getting the same Issue Here, all of the samples and also my own ascx and ascx.cs combo shows same error.

If I load it, anyway, it shows this....

Error: unable to load ~\/UserControls\WebUserControl1.ascx
Details: The file /UserControls/WebUserControl1.ascx does not exist.

However I'm not too worried now because after i Installed it, my SmartPart created and installed with the smart part templates magically started working!

NEW POST: "Could not load " error from fresh install

naspinski — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 09:39:05 GMT

I just installed SP 1.3, activated it, moved a working user control to the proper directory and tried to add it to a webpart.

When I try to edit the Smart Part in the EditZone, under 'User control to display' it has the list of User Controls but they all say 'Could not load <user control name>' instead of just '<user control name>'. But the demo controls work. Is there anything I need to include in my controls?

Any ideas? Did I forget anything? Thanks.

NEW POST: SmartPates Cannot PROVIDE values to BDC WebParts !

FuadTaha — Sun, 18 May 2008 06:33:52 GMT

First of all,
Thank you JAN for this Extra Ordinary Effort implementing this great feature,

secondly, I tried the Smart Part and it worked fine with me as long as im connecting 2 SmartPart together,

"But there is one issue:"
but in my case ,, i need to connect a one SmartPart to a BDC list (which will recieve it's filter parameters from the SmartPart) ,, when i tried to do that i noticed that it's not possible to add a connection between My SmartPart & the BDC List ,,

"Also I noticed that:"
If the I had a SmartPart and it's a PROVIDER .. then the coinsumer it can connects to HAD TO be a SmartPart !
While
If my SmartPart was a CONSUMER .. then the Provider can be nearly any webpart (SmartPart , normal filter, BDC filter ...)

so is there a solution for this issue ?

any help is appreciated,

thanks

Best Regards
Fuad Taha

NEW POST: unable to load ~\/UserControls

lanedfritz — Mon, 12 May 2008 14:32:56 GMT

Hi Jans,

I have looked around for other discussions concerning this topic and have not found any solutions.

I am getting the following error:
Error: unable to load ~\/UserControls\SolventParts.ascx
Details: The file '/UserControls/SolventParts.ascx' does not exist

The drop down list where I select the usercontrol to use is now empty.
The ascx files exist in the usercontrols folder, and the assebmlies are in the bin folder. This was working at one point, and now it is not. The only changes that have been made are content changes - no system changes.

I'm using version 1.3.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!!

Is there a way to create the UserControls folder and copy the user controls into the folder via the FeatureActivated event of a Feature? HttpContext.Current is null in a feature receiver so I don't know of another way to get a handle on those paths.

Thanks!

NEW POST: smartpart as filter webpart

p1ngu — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:59:59 GMT

I have a smartpart usercontrol based webpart which connects fine to other smartparts using the SmartPart.IConnectionConsumerControl.SetConsumerData and SmartPart.IConnectionProviderControl.GetProviderData interface. However, I also need to connect a smartpart to a bdc list webpart and pass a string value to filter the list, the same as you can do with eg the builtin current user filter webpart. The smartpart webpart isn't listed as a possible source for the list webpart to receive data from in the connections menu on the webpart.
Could someone advise if this is possbile, and if poss give some sample code ?
Thanks
