everyone!
I have the folowing situation.
I'm developing some little search system in SharePoint 2010. I execute SPWeb.EnsureUser for a specific user login name(for test purposes), and I get usernot found exception.
The user totally exists, crawl performed, profile created. If I create simple Console application executing the same code it work fine, AND after that the original code began to work fine too.
But if I run the original code from UserControl method, which belongs to WebPart, I get the situation i've described earlier.
I'll be very thankfull for all kind of answers.

I have a Web Resource that is working fine, except for one major headache.
I need to be able to click on a link and open an existing entity record. These two methods both almost get me there, but are blocked by different reasons:
1. Calling it directly with a link like this:
window.open('http://OurCRM/main.aspx?etc=10088&id=%7bc1d0db62-aa9e-e911-80e0-0a94ef08472f%7d&pagetype=entityrecord', '_self');
The problem with this one is that it doesn't work due to CRM saying
"Sys.InvalidOperationException: Sys.InvalidOperationException: Service Xrm.Interfaces.Services.IMostRecentlyViewedService already has an implementation"
note : If I take out the '_self' it works but then that defeats the purpose of what we're trying to do (need to keep it in the same tab).
2. using the Client API:
parent.Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm('ourentity', guid, '', '');
This one is blocked due to Cross Origin Frames being blocked by browsers.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Below snippet should work: (this will be onclick of button or link)
onclick="window.location.href='http://OurCRM/main.aspx?etc=10088&id=%7bc1d0db62-aa9e-e911-80e0-0a94ef08472f%7d&pagetype=entityrecord';"
To help others out, this was resolved in another, similar question
accessing the logged in CRM user from custom page
Basically we were looking at two different ways to handle the same problem of working with webforms inside CRM.
Ok, I have a workflow built in SharePoint 2010, built in SharePoint Designer. It is set up to begin whenever a new item is created. The library is also set up to create new items based on email attachments. So the goal is for users to email the attachments to the library and the workflow takes over.
The workflow only works for me. The other people attempting to use it are listed as Full Control in the permissions. They are using the correct email address, and the library is creating the new items based on the attachments. The problem is that the workflow keeps saying error occurred.
The error says something about some columns needing different types of data, but when I email to the library it goes off without a hitch.
I am completely stumped as to what could be different about them sending the email instead of me.
Sorry I got kind of long winded, and thanks in advance for any help.
The system account is not allowed to initiate workflow on its own. There is a powershell that you need to run to enable system account to run workflow. Also try impersonation in workflow.
Here found it.
stsadm.exe –o setproperty –propertyname declarativeworkflowautostartonemailenabled –propertyvalue yes
Not sure what was wrong with it, but I just deleted it then rebuilt it and now it works. Don't think I did anything different so I'm not sure.
My sccenario is as follows:
I have an excel workbook that does a lot of stuff, like create users and such.
A part of this "create user"-procedure is to edit some info on a website.
BUT this website needs to be launched as another user which has access to it.
I have no problem controlling IE if I launch it normally with the current user. But when I launch IE as another user, I cant take control of it from Excel.
I have done a lot of googling and tried a lot of stuff.
Fx. code from the following sources:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/using-vba-to-automate-internet-explorer-sessions-from-an-excel-spreadsheet/
http://www.excely.com/excel-vba/ie-automation.shtml
http://www.mvps.org/emorcillo/en/code/vb6/iedom.shtml
None of which has worked in my scenario.
I found a very good workaround here: https://superuser.com/a/49462
Basically I found out that it's possible to force a loginprompt on pages using Windows Authentication, and then log in as a different user.
That means that the IE process still runs as my user, thus making it possible to take control of the window from Excel.
Since a few days, i get this Error Message while searching in my custom search webpart:
The creator of this fault did not specify a Reason.
I checked the SharePoint LOG-Folder and found the following error to this message:
SearchServiceApplicationProxy::Execute--Error occured: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceApplicationFault]: The creator of this fault did not specify a Reason. (Fault Detail is equal to Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceApplicationFault).
I got a second webpart searching just one part of the application which is working properly. I think the problem has to do with a misfunction or misconfiguration of the SharePoint Search Service since the search has always been working before.
Any Ideas?
Finally, I tried several solutions:
Resetting Search Index
Full Crawl
Rebooting SharePoint Server
I actually don't know what the problem was. For another task, I had to redeploy one custom solution (which didn't have anything to do with the search-webpart). This fixed the issue!
I've been away from SharePoint development for quite a while now, and I'm trying to access the information in a SharePoint 2010 blog (from one of our users, within their "MySite") from a C# webpart which will reside on the homepage of the site. The idea is to be able to highlight a certain user's latest post on the home page.
Can anyone help me to reference the blog (in dev it is located at http://myServer/my/BillsBlog) from our homepage. I've tried the following...
Reference an SPSite giving the URL as a constructor parameter, then get the correct web from there. This fails. (I'm guessing the blog is a web, rather than a site collection, but am open to being corrected there)
Get the current context from SPContext.Current, and access the AllWebs collection from there, but this doesn't inculde the /my web.
Once I find the appropriate container (SPSite or SPWeb) I can access the list to pull out the items I need, but I don't know how to get to that point. In a console App, I have it working by using the method in the first bullet abouve.
I'm really pretty much stuck now, and I simply don't know enough about what I'm looking fro to be able to search Google for answers. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
OK, my mistake. The webpart project was set up as a sandboxed one, so the approach in bullet 1 wouldn't work. Changing that switch meant it is now OK and working as per the console app.
Thanks for reading.
