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

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

Hello,

I came to check the status of this project and it seems Bart De Smet's project is now part of

Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq Namespace

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

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?

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.

New Post: Extract SharePoint Contents ?

cooldude_82 — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:59:26 GMT

Hi,

I am just wondering if it is possible to use this library to extract Tasks, Announcements, Team Discussions ...etc from SharePoint ?

I noticed that the framework will generate C# classes for the lists that I create myself on SharePoint ..but it will not generate classes for Tasks or Calendar for example .

if this is possible how to query Tasks ?

Thanks

New Post: FileNotFoundException (BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq)

matrich — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:01:31 GMT

Hi all,

It seems I have gotten a work around for the error I was getting above. In my published website, I added the BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq.dll file to the Bin folder and everything worked again. Hope this helps someone else who might get the same problem.

On another note, is this project still live or dead? I emailed Bart and also posted here the above problem. And in a week or so, i got no response even to acknowledge. Anywayz, thanks for the great project THO I was going to go back to CAML.

Thanks,
Matrich

New Post: FileNotFoundException (BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq)

matrich — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:57:10 GMT

Hi,

Thanks for this helpful project. I am building an ASP.NET website using your project. In my solution, I have a Class library where all the logic is done which includes the *.spml file and a website which uses the class library as a reference. When I run the solution in VS 2008, everything works well BUT when I move the solution to server, I get an error. When I checked the Event Viewer on the server, below is the exception which isn't handled:

Exception information:
Exception type: FileNotFoundException
Exception message: Could not load file or assembly 'BdsSoft.SharePoint.Linq, Version=0.2.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c9246ff4557ee8a2' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I will be very grateful for your help.

Thanks,

Matrich

This is a cool tool and it works great in a console app, but I would love to use it to parse data going into an InfoPath form (on browser). Possible?

New Post: SPML suddenly unfunctional

joewood72 — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:30:05 GMT

From looking at the code, it looks like the referenced list needs to be in the same SP context - i.e. in the same SPML file.

http://code.google.com/p/uniframework/source/browse/trunk/sources/Uniframework.SharePoint.Linq.EntityGenerator/EntityGenerator.cs

I added all my lists under the <Lists> element in the SPML file and this seemed to fix this problem.

New Post: Querys with JOIN

bdesmet — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:36:48 GMT

Hi Wagner,

LINQ to SharePoint doesn't support joins, as the underyling query language (CAML) hasn't built-in support for it. Implementing joins would require the provider to have to download big chunks of data to the client in order to execute the join code there. In general that's not a good thing as the remote execution properties of the LINQ query become superfluous. Rather, to make developers aware of this, the provider doesn't try to be smart and requires local joins to be executed explicitly using LINQ to Object. Recall that you can turn execution from remote into local by calling the AsEnumerable() method. For example, you could have two queries to select the sources to be joined, each of which you call AsEnumerable on, and then use with LINQ join syntax to have the join execute locally:

from x in (from y in src.Z where ... select y).AsEnumerable()
join a in (from b in src.C where ... select b).AsEnumerable() on x.K equals a.L
...
select ...

Hope this helps,
-Bart
