I'm using Sharepoint Designer (2010) to develop a series of connected lists.
I have a number of child-lists and I use the "DispForm.aspx" of my main list to add these 'children'.
Recently the DispForm.aspx has stopped opening in Sharepoint Designer. Clicking it from the list's main page goes into the Form view, but the page never loads and I get no error messages.
Since I can't see the Code window I can't make any changes, even though the page works fine in the browser and I can perform (limited) edits directly on the website through Sharepoint.
Has anyone got any tips on what I could try, or any way of accesing the code in DispForm.aspx if I can't open it in Sharepoint Designer?
Not a fix as such, but I got around this by mapping a drive to the sharepoint site and using notepad++ to edit the file directly.
If you browse the lists folder and the list you are interested in you will see the display, new, edit forms in there

I have a network published infopath 2010 form.
I would like this form to display the actual network location it is located in when it loads directly in the form. Right now, the form location is displayed at the bottom of the screen as a part of the Infopath window.
I know how do to do everything else besides getting the network file location using vba. Any ideas? As far as I can tell I can only pull the URI of the form which is specific to SharePoint deployments not Network deployment.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! :)
I ran a quick test and found that when I opened a network published template, this code:
this.Template.Uri.ToString()
Returned the published location in this format:
file:///D:/Documents/Temp/test.xsn
So, you'd need to clean the string up a bit - but this appears to work with network published templates. Were you getting a different result?
I have an Infopath 2010 form that's been developed for a document library in SharePoint 2010. The form contains custom VB code, which is saved on a shared drive.
However, should the VB project on the shared drive get deleted/damaged/forgotten about, is there a way to retrieve the custom code from SharePoint itself? I know you can go to Library Settings>Advanced Settings>Document Template>Edit Template to retrieve the Infopath form, but when you attempt to edit the custom code, Infopath asks for the VB project location.
Does a plain-text, uncompiled version of the code get stored somewhere in SharePoint when the form is deployed?
When I have needed to get the code for a form and don't have access to original code files, one approach I have taken is to save the form as source files (either unzipping the template with a tool like 7-zip or from the publish menu in InfoPath in design mode) and then decompiled the code DLL with ILSPY. Imperfect & a bit of a pain, but has allowed me to see what may be going on in a template file and recreate the source code when needed.
Found my own answer - looks like I'd be out of luck.

That's a pretty helpful feature, Infopath...
I have a website where I am filling form data through VB.Net 2010 through WebBrowser control.
I am able to set value for input:text, input:password, checkbox, select and able to submit form.
But I am not able to select input:file programmatically. I am also able to open
"Choose a File" Dialog.
How can I send file name to select and press OK button from VB.Net Code?
I am pretty sure this is a browser security feature to prevent malicious web-sites from auto-uploading random files from the user's website to themselves. Consider how dangerous it would be if any website could pull arbitrary files off the user's computer without any explicit action from the user.
Your best bet is probably going to be dumping the Web Browser control since it will limit you to its security model. Instead consider directly getting the web page and posting a response within your application.
The following .NET namespaces should come in handy for that:
System.Net.HTTPWebRequest
System.Net.TTPWebResponse
I want to have a webpart working when a file is open. I saw that text files are open in a blank page, but Excel files are open within a SharePoint page, in which I cannot edit/see a web part zone.
So, I was wondering if it's possible to add a webpart in that view, so I can execute some actions when a file is open.
Thanks in advance!
The page opened is XLViewer.aspx from the layouts directory. It is bad practice to edit out of the box files so I would copy the file into a custom directory and then add a web part zone to it. I would then use jquery to change the onclick event of the Excel file links to point to your custom page.
Alternatively, XLViewer.aspx uses minimal.master as its master page, so you could add your web part to minimal.master in SharePoint Designer. I would then code the web part to be dormant unless the page is XLViewer.aspx.
Is it possible to display an HTML page in an Office 2003 and/or 2007 task pane via VBA?
Background: We have a complicated configuration file that our users maintain in Word (using a real editor is not an option for our audience).
We would like to create several toolbar buttons that display a basic HTML page in a task pane as a form of online help for our users.
The reason we want to use a task pane to display help (vs. an external browser or traditional help engine) is so that the help content is "embedded" in Word vs. displayed via a seperate application. The problem with using a regular browser or help engine to display help is that users have to manually size and position both applications so that they can see them simultaneously and its very easy to "lose" one application when togging between many applications.
We don't want to go down the route of writing a VisualStudio based task pane component - we want to keep things simple (KISS) and encapsulate everything in an easy to distribute Word template file (.dot or dotx.).
Suggestions?
Yes it is possible, see this blog for detailed steps in creating the custom task pane in Excel 2007.
