He can't get group name belong to a user using WPF base on TeamProjectPicker instant:
private void BtnConnectClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
DisableUi();
var tpp = new TeamProjectPicker(TeamProjectPickerMode.NoProject, false);
tpp.ShowDialog();
if (tpp.SelectedTeamProjectCollection == null) return;
EnableUi();
_tfs = tpp.SelectedTeamProjectCollection;
_css = (ICommonStructureService)_tfs.GetService<ICommonStructureService>();
_gss = (IGroupSecurityService)_tfs.GetService<IGroupSecurityService>();
var allSids = _gss.ReadIdentity(SearchFactor.AccountName,
"Project Collection Valid Users", QueryMembership.Expanded);
listAllUsers.ItemsSource = _gss.ReadIdentities(SearchFactor.Sid, allSids.Members,
QueryMembership.None).Where(a => a.Type == IdentityType.WindowsUser
|| a.Type == IdentityType.WindowsGroup);
listProjects.ItemsSource = _css.ListAllProjects();
}
I can't do it when implement this function on asp.net MVC
You will need to implement your own Project Picker or supply the project collection uri directly to the TfsTeamProjectCollectionfactory.GetProjectCollection method. See the documentation here.
To create your own Project Picker, you can use the TfsConfigurationServerFactory.GetConfigurationServer to connect to a TFS instance. See the documentation here. Then you can query all the Team Project Collections and the underlying Team Projects from there. See the following piece of documentation for more information.

I need to develolp a WPF application that use the OData service of a Project Online Server. When I try to reference the OData service with ODataLib V4, it doesn't work because the OData service is secure.
Anyone know a workaround for this problem ?
I found the solution.
Extract the metadata of Project Online in xml file (https://[your pwa site]/_api/ProjectData/$metadata)
Change the extension of the xml file to .edmx
Execute DataSvcUtil in your Framework directory (DataSvcUtil /in:edmxfile.edmx /out:csfile.cs /language:CSharp)
Add the csfile.cs in your .Net Project
Add the following references in your project :
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.DocumentManagement
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Publishing
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.Windows
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Taxonomy
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles
- Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.WorkflowServices
- Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.Activities
- Microsoft SharePoint Solutions Framework
Here, an example of the code :
private const string PSDATA = "https://[your pwa site]";
ProjectOData.ReportingData context =
new ProjectOData.ReportingData(new Uri(PSDATA + "/_api/ProjectData/", UriKind.Absolute)) { IgnoreMissingProperties = true };
var username = <username>;
var password = <password>;
var secureString = new System.Security.SecureString();
foreach (char c in password.ToCharArray())
{
secureString.AppendChar(c);
}
context.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(username, secureString);
SharePointOnlineCredentials credentials = new Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials(username, secureString);
var authenticationCookie = credentials.GetAuthenticationCookie(new Uri(PSDATA));
context.SendingRequest += delegate (object sender, SendingRequestEventArgs e)
{
e.RequestHeaders.Clear();
e.RequestHeaders.Add("Cookie", authenticationCookie);
};
var projectQuery1 = from p in context.Projects
select p;
I am working on a content migration project , from Ektron 9 to EpiServer 8, the first task is to migrate the content of specific pages , to achieve that, I was following Ektron's API guidance Ektron Developer API
1- I am approaching this migration the right way? right now I just added Ektron Dll as a reference in my app. I tried to use their web services , but it doesn't have the data i need (content of specific pages).Ektron Web Services
here's a snippet of my code:
GetAllTemplatesRequest cc = new GetAllTemplatesRequest();
//var UserCRUD = new Ektron.Cms.Framework.User.UserManager();
var UserCRUD = new UserManager();
string Token = UserCRUD.Authenticate("admin", "password");
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Token)) // Success
{
try
{
//Create the Content Object set to observe permissions
Ektron.Cms.Framework.Content.ContentManager ContentAPI
= new Ektron.Cms.Framework.Content.ContentManager(ApiAccessMode.Admin);
//Retrieve the content
Ektron.Cms.ContentData contentData;
contentData = ContentAPI.GetItem(30);
//Output the retrieved item's content
var cs = contentData.Html;
}
catch (Exception _e)
{
throw _e;
}
}
else // Fail
{
}
But I am getting this error:
This is what i ended up doing :
As there are many ways to perform the migration , I chose the approach of focusing mainly on EpiServer APIs to create new content , blocks, and assets ; and get all the content i need from Ektron using SQL statements.
Ektron Save all the content in a table named content .
The pages are organized in “Folder structure” fashion , so every page is in a “Folder”
to get the folder ID for a specific page, you can use this query :
select folder_id from content where content_id = 2147485807
with that folder id you can get all the pages listed under that specific folder; for instance you will need to get all the pages under “Articles”.
Then i used that folderID in this query:
SELECT [content_id]
,[content_title]
,[content_html]
,[date_created]
,folder_id
,[content_teaser]
,[content_text]
,[end_date]
,[content_type]
,[template_id]
, content_status
FROM content
where folder_id=(select folder_id from content where content_id = 2147485807)
order by content_title
FOR XML PATH(‘Article’), ROOT (‘Articles’)
which Creates an XML for me ready to consume in my EpiServer code.
The first thing in EPI server I did is to add a new property in the SitePageBase model to add a “LegacyContentID” that will serve as a mapping entry in case i need to access/modify the content of the new created pages. it serves as a link between the data imported from Ektron and the new data i am creating on EPI server.
[Display(
Name = “Legacy Content ID”,
Description = “Content ID from Ektron imported data , for migration purposes”,
GroupName = GroupNames.PageSettings,
Order = 37)]
[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
[Editable(false)]
public virtual string LegacyContentID { get; set; }
Then i created a method to create the article pages , the only parameter it needs is the parentID from IP server (you can create a new page in EpiServer and then under properties of that page you can the page ID).
public void CreateArticlesPages(int parentID)
{
IContentRepository contentRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
var parentlink = new ContentReference(parentID);
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(File.ReadAllText(#”Articles.xml”));
string jsonText = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(doc);
dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonText);
for (int i = 0; i < data.Articles.Article.Count; i++)
{
var PageImportedObject = data.Articles.Article[i];
ArticlePage page = contentRepository.GetDefault<ArticlePage>(parentlink);
page = contentRepository.GetDefault<ArticlePage>(parentlink);
page.LegacyContentID = PageImportedObject.content_id;
page.Name = PageImportedObject.content_title;
page.PageTitle = PageImportedObject.content_title;
if (PageImportedObject.content_teaser == null)
page.Summary = “No Summary from the Ektron DB”;
else
page.Summary = PageImportedObject.content_teaser;
page.Description = PageImportedObject.content_html.root.Description;
contentRepository.Save(page, EPiServer.DataAccess.SaveAction.Save, EPiServer.Security.AccessLevel.NoAccess);
contentRepository.Save(page, EPiServer.DataAccess.SaveAction.Publish, EPiServer.Security.AccessLevel.NoAccess);
}
}
The code above creates a new page of type “ArticlePage” and add content from the XML generated earlier holding Ektron’s info.
Just coping one dll from an Ektron site into another site will not work.
The Web services idea was a better one. There are web service calls to get the content by id.
Alternatively you could write your own web service that runs inside the ektron site and uses the Ektron API to expose the data you want. Then call that service from the other site.
You will want to review the content migration starter kit. https://github.com/egandalf/ContentTransferStarterKit
I have this LDAP problem where the server is not operational.
Here's my code

SearchResult objSearchResult;
if (objDirSearch != null)
{
objDirSearch.Filter = String.Format("(SAMAccountName={0})", "abcd");
MessageBox.Show(directoryEntry.Username);
objSearchResult = objDirSearch.FindOne();
}
Please help me I'm stuck and frustrated
If you're on .NET 3.5 and up, you should check out the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement (S.DS.AM) namespace. Read all about it here:
Managing Directory Security Principals in the .NET Framework 3.5
MSDN docs on System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
Basically, you can define a domain context and easily find users and/or groups in AD:
// set up domain context
using (PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
{
// find a user
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ctx, "abcd");
if(user != null)
{
// do something here....
}
}
The new S.DS.AM makes it really easy to play around with users and groups in AD!
I have created a Silverlight Business Application which runs as my main silverlight page. For each hyperlink button on my "menu" I launch another Silverlight Application which is created as a different project in Visual Studio. These are non-Business Applications.
Everything is working well. However I'm trying to pass a value from my main SL application to the SL application inside.
I have been googling a lot and cannot find an answer.
As I understand the InitParam is used between ASP and SL, and not between SL apps.
Since the App config is launched for the first SL app and the app config for the second application in never lauched, I'm not able to use that (thats at least my understanding)
The value I want to pass is the login name and role, which is possible to get from webcontext in the Silverlight Business application, but I'm unable to get webcontext in the non-Business application which run inside.
This is how I launch my SL app inside the main SL app:
public Customers()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.Title = ApplicationStrings.CustomersPageTitle;
if (WebContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Users") || WebContext.Current.User.IsInRole("Administrators"))
{
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.OpenReadCompleted += new OpenReadCompletedEventHandler(client_OpenReadCompleted);
client.OpenReadAsync(new Uri("customers.xap", UriKind.Relative));
}
}
void client_OpenReadCompleted(object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e)
{
string appManifest = new StreamReader(Application.GetResourceStream(new StreamResourceInfo(e.Result, null),
new Uri("AppManifest.xaml", UriKind.Relative)).Stream).ReadToEnd();
XElement deploymentRoot = XDocument.Parse(appManifest).Root;
List<XElement> deploymentParts =
(from assemblyParts in deploymentRoot.Elements().Elements() select assemblyParts).ToList();
Assembly asm = null;
AssemblyPart asmPart = new AssemblyPart();
foreach (XElement xElement in deploymentParts)
{
string source = xElement.Attribute("Source").Value;
StreamResourceInfo streamInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(new StreamResourceInfo(e.Result, "application/binary"), new Uri(source, UriKind.Relative));
if (source == "customers.dll")
{
asm = asmPart.Load(streamInfo.Stream);
}
else
{
asmPart.Load(streamInfo.Stream);
}
}
UIElement myData = asm.CreateInstance("customers.MainPage") as UIElement;
stackCustomers.Children.Add(myData);
stackCustomers.UpdateLayout();
}
Anyone?
i agree with ChrisF ,I think that Prism or MEF can resolve you problem.
any way,do some search on the web and look for these two classes:
**
LocalMessageSender
LocalMessageReceiver
**
good luck
I've created a Silverlight project that produces [something].xap file to package a few silverlight UserControls. I would like to manipulate that .xap file through the use of javascript in the browser to show and hide user controls based upon java script events.
Is it possible to do this?
If so any sample could or links to documentation would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Here's my solution...not sure if it's the "best-practices" way...comments????
In the App class within my Silverlight application I have the following code:
private Page _page = null;
private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
_page = new Page();
this.RootVisual = _page;
HtmlPage.RegisterScriptableObject("App", this);
}
Also to the App class I add a [ScriptableMember] to be called from JavaScript
[ScriptableMember]
public void ShowTeamSearch(Guid ctxId, Guid teamId)
{
_page.ShowTeamSearcher(ctxId, teamId);
}
The Page class is the default one that get's created within the Silverlight Control project, it really doesn't have any UI or logic, it's just used to swap in/out the views.
Login oLogin;
TeamSearcher oSearcher;
public Page()
{
InitializeComponent();
oLogin = new Login();
oSearcher = new TeamSearcher();
oLogin.Visibility = Visibility;
this.LayoutRoot.Children.Add(oLogin);
}
Also a method is added to show/hide the views...this could/will probably get more advanced/robust with animations etc...but this shows the basic idea:
public void ShowTeamSearcher(Guid ctxId, Guid teamId)
{
oSearcher.UserTeamId = teamId;
oSearcher.UserContextId = ctxId;
LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(oLogin);
LayoutRoot.Children.Add(oSearcher);
}
Then to invoke this in the JavaScript after assigning the id of oXaml to the instance of the silverlight host.
var slControl = document.getElementById('oXaml');
slControl.Content.App.ShowTeamSearch(sessionId, teamId);
This seems to work and isn't all that bad of a solution, but there might be something better...thoughts?
