(C#) Add a new group to SharePoint Site Collection; Add Role Definition and Assignment - blackf0rk

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 10:46:08 UTC

An important thing to keep in mind about adding groups is that you add groups to site collections and not webs. To do this, we access the SiteGroups collection rather than the Groups collection. In order to assign permissions, each group you add needs a role definition (i.e. Read, Contribute, Design, or Full Control). It's best practice to assign role definitions to a group and assign users to the group, rather than assign definitions to individual users.

(C#) Using Exchange Web Services API - blackf0rk

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:38:20 UTC

In order for the code snippet(s) to work, you need to do the following: 1. Go download the EWS API SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=c3342fb3-fbcc-4127-becf-872c746840e1 2. Install the SDK on your machine. It will install a .dll .xml and walkthrough guide to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange... 3. Open up your VS project solution and add a reference to the installed DLL It's important to note that you should use the service.AutodiscoverUrl instead of service.Url because the URL you use may not be the correct URL down the line (due to redirection). If you are using service.Url and you call a method and get a 405 error, switch to the AutodiscoverUrl method instead.

(C#) Next SPListItem ID From SPList - blackf0rk

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:38:37 UTC

In order to accurately get the next ID from a SharePoint list you need to access the content database for one reason: If you delete all the items from a list, and execute this simple code: list.Items[list.ItemCount -1].ID) + 1 the ID will always return 0 when in reality the real ID of the next ID will be the auto-increment number in the content database. Note that list.Items[list.ItemCount -1].ID) + 1 will work as long as one record is always kept in the list and is never deleted.
