Transfer Sharepoint WebPart data to application page - sharepoint-2010

I have created a visual web part that has one entry form, it contains 10 textboxes and a submit button to insert the data.
Now on click of submit button it redirects to another page(page is application page deployed under layout folder of same site. this page is added in same web part solution by adding new item).
I'm able to redirect to application page using SPUtility.Redirect(). but not sure about best approach to pass the data from web part page to application.
I think that query string is not a good solution. Also enabling session is manual work on each environment(as i experienced that in one server when i created session variable i got an error to enable it, but in other dev server i was able to do that).

I have done this using a public class in user control .cs page and defined all fields as static variables in side the class. now I'm able to access them in application page added inside layout folder of same project solution. Not sure if it is right approach , but it works

ViewStateException - Validation of viewstate MAC failed - Sitefinity ASP.NET MVC with Jquery Mobile

I am getting this error most of the time when I submit my form. I am using Sitefinity 6.2 with ASP.NET MVC 4.0 and JQuery Mobile.
As I have Sitefinity in Hybred mode I am using the #Html.BeginFormSitefinity() command to create the form. On the Controller I have my action with the [HttpPost] attribute. The code always hits my default action on the controller with no problem. No matter what I put in the form when I submit I only get an error message on the page...never hits the HttpPost action.
I've looked around and there are many pages with fixes for the MAC failed issue, but none are working for me. I have a machine key in the web.config and I am NOT going to set enableViewStateMac to false as that is a security hole.
OK I tried working with both of the below solutions but they are both really bad. Here is what I am doing now, which is still not great, but I have Sitefinity, MVC, and JQuery Mobile all on the same page and forms are not giving me View State Exceptions anymore.
First thing is that adding data-ajax="false" is not enough, for this to work you need to disable Ajax before JQuery Mobile starts. So, to do this you need to add in this script BEFORE the JQuery Mobile File loads but after the JQuery file loads.
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function () { $.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false; });
After doing this I then do not use the Sitefinity Begin Form, I just JQuery to change the form on the main page to have the correct action.
<script>
$("#aspnetForm").attr("action", "Home/Login");
</script>
Together this means that there is a complete page load for each page change, and form posts use the form declared in my WebForms Master Page.

Actually...what I have below is not working. What I am
currently doing is really ugly but is usually working.
As long as the user enters the site from the home page then the home
page is the Jquery Mobile first page. The view state errors that I
was getting was because it saw the current page as the first page and
the form submit was to the active page. What if the controller for
the home page was just set to handle ALL HTTPPost calls? I have
removed the #Html.BeginFormSitefinity() from all the views with forms
and am just using the form on my top level masterpage. Then I add in
code on the view to change the action of this form to point to the
main page controller. ex
<script>
$("#aspnetForm").attr("action", "Home/Login");
</script>
Once I made this change the forms are not throwing view state
exceptions...as long as the home page is the Jquery Mobile first page.
If the user comes in from a different page then all is scrambled.
Don't have an answer for that yet.
Really Old Answer -
OK, think I have found it. I read somewhere, lost the link now, a
list of issues that can cause the error message. One of them is the
form being submitted from a different page.
I looked at the error message I was getting with Fiddler and noticed
that the Referer was my home page but the URL of the form post was the
URL for the page with my form. In stead of browsing through my site
to the page with the form I typed the URL in the address bar. I tried
submitting my form again and now it works!
So, this is an issue of Sitefinity and JQuery Mobile fighting it out.
When asp.net MVC is run in Hybred mode in Sitefinity it is actually
run in a Web.Forms master page that contains a form. When you use the
#Html.BeginFormSitefinity() to add a form to the view it is actually
just adding a div and then using AJAX to submit the form on the
Web.Forms master page.
JQuery Mobile loads up the first page that you visit, but later pages
are just injected into the existing page. So, there are multiple
data-role="page" divs loaded up in the DOM, inside of the Sitefinity
Web.Forms Master Page.
This all together is causing the form to post with the URL of the
active data-role="page" but the server sees that it is being refered
from the original page I loaded up. So, if I went to the page with
the form first all would work, start at any other page it does not
work.
Now that I know this I can put in data-ajax="false" on the link to the
page with the form and all looks to be working. This will cause
JQuery Mobile to not inject the target page into the current page but
will load all fresh with the target.
data-ajax="false" is the answer!

Having codebehind for Custom .aspx page in sandbox solution

I am having working with sandbox solution. i have one .aspx page in my solution and i have placed one button tag in that page, i need to write server side code for that button. But it is showing "The event handler 'OnClick' is not allowed in this page." . Does codebehind is not allowed in sandbox solution. Or indirectly how can i write my c# code for that button.
I know we can do it by creating one webpart and show that webpart in page using "WebPartPages:SPUserCodeWebPart" tag . But i want to confirm whether we can write codebehind for an asp page in some way or not.
Without changing the web.config file (which would not be recommended in this case), inline code or code behind files are not supported outside of the layouts folder (which you cannot deploy to with a sandbox solution).
However, you should be able to create a class and then set the inherits attribute to point to that class, instead of referring to the class in a code behind file.

Same Webpart added multiple times on a Site page

I have 2 instances of same webpart deployed on same page.
Webpart has a property named Network, which will take values Internal or External.
Webpart1 is setup as internal. and Network on WebPart2 is setup as external.
After adding webpart, on any event on first webpart is working fine. Any event on Second Webpart shows Network value as Internal. It works fine if I remove the first webpart from the page.
Any ideas?
Share your code related to the Web Part Property in order to give a solution.
One possible scenario might be that the property or encapsulated field might have been declared as static in the web part source.

SharePoint 2010 move bcs profile page

Is it possible to move the SharePoint 2010 BCS profile page, normally located under:
https://***.orbitone.com:443/__bdc/https___***_orbitone_com/Projects_1.aspx?JOB_ID={0}
To:
https://***.orbitone.com:443/Projects_1.aspx?JOB_ID={0}
Thanks!
It is a work around I guess but works well. I have tried it out.
1.) Create the profile page in the desired location (Web Part page)
2.) Export the web parts(2 web parts) from original profile page and add it to you custom page.
3.) Connect the web parts and test the page whether it is working properly like the OOTB profile page.
4.) Create a new action in the External Content Type and give the above new URL in the below format
https://???.orbitone.com:443/Projects_1.aspx?JOB_ID={0}
5.) Select the other parameters appropriately. Don't forget to give parameter as the identifier(JOB ID). Make sure you select this action as default action.
That's it :)
It should work in the way you expect. Let me know if you face any issues.

SharePoint 2010: custom masterpage for programmatically created subsites

What’s the best way to add a custom masterpage to a subsite that is being created programmatically in a feature event receiver? Each of these 50 subsites gets its own “_catalogs/masterpage”, so I have a feeling that Elements.xml for the root-site’s Module/Elements.xml is out. More feature receiver code? PowerShell post-deployment processing?
Is this going to be 50 copies of the same Master Page?
If not, I can't really picture how the Master Page will be specially made using code, but also a Feature Module element is certainly out.
But if it is 50 copies of the same file, you could deploy the Master Page to the Gallery one time using a Feature Module element. Then in your Feature Receiver, make a copy of that file with a new name in the Master Page Gallery and attach it to your website:
web.MasterUrl = "_catalogs/masterpage/custom_v4.master";
web.CustomMasterUrl = "_catalogs/masterpage/custom_v4.master";
web.Update();
You might want to think about creating
custom site definition.
You have following choices to set master page for the site:
1) Using Sharepoint Browser UI (from Site Settings page)
2) Using Custom site definitions
3) Programmatically
4) Using SharePoint Designer
Looking at your scenario, no 3 is an option. You may want to do it in the Feature Receiver itself.
