Could not load type ‘Microsoft.ContentManagement. WebAuthor.PostingProperties’ 23 October 09 10:04 PM

sometimes you deploy a new CMS 2002 site and you will see above error message or “could not load type” for CMS pages. It means that page is trying to load find the class but it doesn’t exist. So best tool to troubleshoot this type of issue is Assembly Binding Log Viewer (Fuslogvw.exe). You can run this tool and request the culprit page in the browser it will let you know that what are assemblies requested and what is the result of the call.

In my case, it told me that page was not calling for Microsoft.ContentManagement. WebAuthor.dll” . So I tried to find out whether this assembly was added in the web.config.

Here is the code snippet which requires to be add in the web.config file :-

        1: <add assembly="Microsoft.ContentManagement.Common, Version=5.0.1200.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

       2:         <add assembly="Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing, Version=5.0.1200.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

       3:         <add assembly="Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.Extensions.Placeholders, Version=5.0.1200.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

       4:         <add assembly="Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.Extensions.Placeholders.Office, Version=5.0.1200.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

       5:         <add assembly="Microsoft.ContentManagement.Web, Version=5.0.1200.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

       6:         <add assembly="Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebAuthor, Version=5.0.1200.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

       7:         <add assembly="Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebControls, Version=5.0.1200.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

Unable to sort the BDC column which contain space 22 October 09 12:58 PM

Let me explain you with an example, If you have table like described below and you would like to show the “Name” field as “First Name”.

Table Name :- employee_test

Table description
ID         NUMBER
NAME        VARCHAR2(20)
LOCATION     VARCAHR2(20)
AGE        NUMBER

Create the view using the following SQL command

Create view view_employee as SELECT ID, NAME AS "FIRST NAME", LOCATION, AGE FROM EMPLOYEE_Test

Generally you create a application definition file view_employee.xml and add the Type descriptor like this ;-

and now if you try to sort the Business Data List web part , you won’t get the correct result. To resolve this use the following SQL command :-

create view view_employee as SELECT ID, NAME , LOCATION, AGE FROM EMPLOYEE_Test

Change the type descriptor for your localized version (In my example I changed for English-Us so the LCID is 1033) in the application definition file. I fetched the Name without using the space but changed it for the display purposes.

<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.String" Name="NAME">
<LocalizedDisplayNames>
<LocalizedDisplayName LCID="1033">FIRST NAME </LocalizedDisplayName>
</LocalizedDisplayNames>
</TypeDescriptor>

How to crawl the content of file with the extension “.cs (C-Sharp)”? 21 October 09 09:09 AM

C-Sharp is not a special file it can be read as a text file. So crawling to this file you won’t require to add the special filter and you can use the same IFilter which used to crawl the text files ({4A3DD7AB-0A6B-43B0-8A90-0D8B0CC36AAB}). But the problem you will face in providing the MimeTypes for this extension. Behind the scene, protocol handler call the IFilter based upon the file MimeTypes, you can provide any text MimeType to call cs IFilter but the MimeTypes should be different from “text/plain”.I used the text/scriptlet”.

1. Add the filter-extension to the File types crawled:

Start -> Program -> Microsoft Office Server -> SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration -> <Name of SharedService Provider> -> Search Settings -> File Types -> New File Type (Add extension here)

2. Add the following registry keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0 \Search\Applications\<Site>\Gather\Portal_Content\Extensions\ExtensionList]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Setup\Filters\.ext]

Default = (value not set)

Extension = <ext>

FileTypeBucket REG_DWORD = 0x00000001 (1)

MimeTypes = <application>

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office

Server\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.ext]

Default REG_MULTI_SZ = IFIlter CLASSID

3. Finally, recycle the Search Service by executing the following command from the command window:

net stop osearch

net start osearch

Note :- The content source should be network share. If you crawl the content from a document library you will face the “Content for this URL is excluded by the server because a no-index attribute.” warning at the time of crawling the content.

You don’t want new instances of your workflow association, so here is the code snippet & it’s API description. 19 October 09 08:40 PM

You have installed the new version of a workflow and you don’t want to create the instances of previous association or because of other reasons you don’t want to end users to create new instances of workflow ( Workflow Association). You can remove workflow from UI through UI by selecting “Remove Workflows” under “settings” . Here is the screen shot :-

But if you would like to achieve the SharePoint Object Model then “SPworkflowAssosiation” instance contain the running workflow values in SharePoint. Firstly, you have to traverse the list’s workflow associations and keep SPworkflowAssosiation in SPWorkflowAssosiation array after setting the enabled property of object false. Update the list in separate for loop.

        1: using System;

       2: using System.Collections.Generic;

       3: using System.Linq;

       4: using System.Text;

       5: using Microsoft.SharePoint;

       6: using Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow;

       7:  

       8: namespace WorkflowAssosiation

       9: {

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

  

            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://blre3r15-5:3000/sites/TestSite"))

            {

                using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)

                {

                    SPListCollection lists = web.Lists;

                    SPWorkflowAssociation[] myUpdate = new  SPWorkflowAssociation[15];;

                    int cwaUpdate = 0;

                    string ListId = string.Empty;

                    foreach (SPList list in lists)

                    {

                        SPWorkflowAssociationCollection collection = list.WorkflowAssociations;

                        foreach (SPWorkflowAssociation assosiation in collection)

                        {

                                               

                            //SPWorkflowAssociation assosiation = collection.GetAssociationByBaseID(guid);

                            if (assosiation != null)

                                assosiation.Enabled = false;

                                myUpdate[cwaUpdate++] = assosiation;

                                Console.WriteLine(assosiation.Enabled.ToString());

                                ListId = list.ID.ToString();

                            }

                            }

                        

                    }

                    if (ListId != null || ListId == string.Empty)

                    {

                        System.Guid guid2 = new Guid(ListId);

                        SPList newList = web.Lists[guid2];

                        for (int i = 0; i < cwaUpdate; i++)

                        {

                            newList.UpdateWorkflowAssociation(myUpdate[i]);

                        }

                    }

                }

                Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue....");

Switch to Edit Site doesn’t work in MCMS 2002 19 September 09 09:32 AM

When you click Switch to Edit Site on a published posting in Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2002 to create content, the page got refreshed, but the page does not switch to edit mode from live mode. Also the Web Author console does not display.

This problem may occur because of customization of IIS_CMS folder. MCMS 2002 SP2 patch upgrade this folder and files contain in it. Because of the customization Web Authoring console does not display.

To resolve this problem, clear the Internet Explorer file cache and follow these steps:

1. Click Start, got to RUN prompt, and then type “Inetmgr”.

2. Expand your CMS (Example WoodgrooveInternational) site, Right click to CMS site virtual Directory. Go to properties

3. Check the value of “Local path:”, if it contains the value apart from “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Content Management Server\Server\IIS_CMS” then please change it back to this value.

4. Browse the site, now you switch to Edit once again.

NOTE: - If you would like bring back your customization then create new folder and copy the upgraded folder. Manually do the customization once again.

Code Access Security in SharePoint 19 September 09 12:11 AM

Code access security is a mechanism to limit the access of the code to protect the resources and operations. In SharePoint you can have the two level i.e “WSS_Medium” and “WSS_Minimal”.

        1: <securityPolicy>

       2:      <trustLevel name="WSS_Medium" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_mediumtrust.config" />

       3:      <trustLevel name="WSS_Minimal" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_minimaltrust.config" />

       4:    </securityPolicy>

By default in SharePoint, you have the “WSS_Minimal”, in web.config file.

       1: <trust level="WSS_Minimal" originUrl="" />

If don’t want to provide your assembly “Full” trust because it will get the full access to your resources.
1) Check the required permission using Permission Calculator Tool (Permcalc.exe)
2) Design the custom policy file [Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and Code Access Security].SharePoint has provided two security permission class :-
1) Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.SharePointPermission
2) Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.WebPartPermission
3) Copied at “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\CONFIG\wss_custom_wss_minimaltrust.config”.

And articles:-

1) How to demand permissions by using Code Access Security
2) ASP.NET Code Access Security

4) You have to modify you web.config file and its looks like this:-

       1: <securityPolicy>

       2:       <trustLevel name="WSS_Medium" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_mediumtrust.config" />

       3:       <trustLevel name="WSS_Minimal" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_minimaltrust.config" />

       4:       <trustLevel name="WSS_Custom" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_custom_wss_minimaltrust.config" />

       5:     </securityPolicy>

5) Modify the trust’s level attribute with you custom trust level name.

         1: <trust level="WSS_Custom" originUrl="" />

How to do hang dump analysis? 18 September 09 12:43 AM

One of my customers facing an interesting issue. He has created a CMS site which slows down after 4 or 5 days. After doing the complete scoping I found that one of the page take 2-3 minutes to load and he has following work-around to temporarily fix the issue.

1) DO an IISREST.

2) Delete the application-pool and recreated it again.

I took the hand dump using the Ad-Plus [Download] script . This support article talk more about this tool http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286350

Start a command window and browse to your debuggers directory.

adplus –hang –pn w3wp.exe

please attach the correct process id.

Open the dump in Windbg.exe

1) Open windbg and open the memory dump (.dmp file) with File/Open Crash dump.

2) Set up the symbol path :-

SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

3) Load sos
.load clr10\sos

4) !analyze –v

5) !sym noisy [verbose loading of the symbols]

6) .symfix c:\symcache [Fix the symbols path]

7) .cordll -ve -u –l

8) !runaway [to analyze]

10) .unload clr10\sos [Unload the SOS.]

11) .chain [to see whether SOS file has been loaded.]

12) ~* kb 2000 [Examine the native callstacks]

13) ~* e !clrstack [Examine the .net callstacks]

14) !syncblk [Determine the ID of the thread owning the lock]

15) ~10s [move to thread 10, replace 10 with actual thread ID]

16) kb 2000 [examine native stack]

17) !clrstack [examine .net stack]

After executing the [ !syncblk ] you will came to know which thread is locked or in waiting state. Jump to the thread [~10S(Enter the thread number instead of 10)] and look at the .net call stack [ !clrstack ]or native call stack[ kb 2000 ]. It will let you know which function is causing the problem.

Change the “Format as :” to “Rich Text”

Secondly, results are not coming according to current date and time.

Go to the filter and click on the link

We can see a grid where a grayed out line there with the text “Using the advanced expression”. It means I have set the formula to get the results using the “Advanced” tab at the bottom.
