Tree View Document Library in MOSS 2007

Hi Moss Devs,
Are you looking for Treeview webpart to display the document library in tree view.
There is no out of the box webpart available to display the document library in Treeview.

I started googling it when started working on this task. I got few webparts which is using java script to load the tree view. I thought of developing own webpart to render the document library in tree view control.

I have created the webpart using .Net 2.0 tree view control and fetching the document library information from the toolpart to render the data to tree view.

Use the following code to load the leaf information of tree view from the document library.

public void TraverseFolder(SPFolder folder,AspControls.TreeNode node)
{
TreeNode tNode = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeNode(folder.Name);
try
{
if (folder.Name != "Forms")
{
foreach (SPFolder fldr in folder.SubFolders)
{
if (fldr.Name != "Forms")
{
TreeNode trn = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeNode(fldr.Name);
tNode = TraverseFiles(fldr, trn);
rNode.ChildNodes.Add(tNode);
}
}

foreach (SPFile file in folder.Files)
{
TreeNode trnChild = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeNode(file.Name, "", "~/_layouts/images/" + file.IconUrl, file.ServerRelativeUrl.ToString(), "");
//trv.Nodes.Add(trnChild);
rNode.ChildNodes.Add(tNode);
}
}
}

catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}


public TreeNode TraverseFiles(SPFolder fldr, AspControls.TreeNode node)
{
try
{
foreach (SPFile file in fldr.Files)
{
AspControls.TreeNode trnChild = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeNode(file.Name, "", "~/_layouts/images/" + file.IconUrl, file.ServerRelativeUrl.ToString(), "");
node.ChildNodes.Add(trnChild);
}
bool bRecurseFolders = fldr.SubFolders.Count > 0 ? true : false;

if (bRecurseFolders)
{
for (int i = 0; i < fldr.SubFolders.Count; i++)
{
TreeNode trnChild = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeNode(fldr.SubFolders[i].Name);
node.ChildNodes.Add(TraverseFiles(fldr.SubFolders[i], trnChild));
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
return node;
}

Use the Traverse Folder function and pass the root element of the document library as parameter.

Now you got a Tree view with appropriate leaf nodes.

Render it in your webpart project :-)

Singleton Pattern Only One Instance is Created in Multi Threading

while using the singleton pattern, only one instance is created in multi threading?

Using threadsafe singleton class will guarantee that only one instance is created.

public sealed class Singleton
{
private static Singleton singleton = null;
private static readonly object singletonLock = new object();

private Singleton() {}
public static Singleton GetInstance()
{
lock (singletonLock)
{
if (singleton == null)
{
singleton = new Singleton();
}
return singleton ;
}
}
}

Issue will raise only when the creation of first instance.

Using lock() will provide us the thread safe to avoid execution of two threads at a same time to create instance.

Again we are verifying the (singletonobject == null) so it will guarantee that only once instance will be created.

double check option will be full proof for our class.

The folder 'http://myserver.com/' isn't accessible. The folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contains a / or \.

There is two workaround for this issue.


Approach 1:

· While login to forms authentication site check the sign in me automatically(it will cache the credential and it will load the Designer)

Approach 2:

· Extend the Existing Forms Authentication Enabled web application to windows authentication application. Now windows authentication enabled web application can be opened in sharepoint designer using windows authentication.

My Reccomandation would be Approach 2

Programmatically Read List & View Content in SharePoint

I got a task to work on developing the windows application which will fetch the List View data from sharepoint and process the data in win forms app.

Previously i used to fetch the data using Lists.asmx,views.asmx.

Now i came to know there is other way to fetch the data from List View.

Syntax:
https://myserver.com/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Cmd=Display&List={list Id}&View={View Id}&XMLDATA=true

Example URL:

https://myserver.com/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Cmd=Display&List={EA1BD05B%2DDB5B%2D434B%2DB2FC%2DB9AB9EE18A91}&View={B959F555%2D798B%2D4F47%2D9FBB%2D81513B85F906}&XMLDATA=true

Now it will give the xml data as response.

write the response to xmldoc and process the data.

HttpWebRequest myRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://myserver.com/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?Cmd=Display&List={EA1BD05B%2DDB5B%2D434B%2DB2FC%2DB9AB9EE18A91}&View={B959F555%2D798B%2D4F47%2D9FBB%2D81513B85F906}&XMLDATA=true");

myRequest.Credentials =
System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)myRequest.GetResponse();
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(response.GetResponseStream());
