Set internal shortcut when creating page from code in EPiServer - episerver

How can I set an internal shortcut on a new page that is create from code-behind?
Stig

I believe something like this should work:
int shortcutId = ...;
newPage.LinkType = PageShortcutType.Shortcut;
newPage.Property["PageShortcutLink"].Value = new PageReference(shortcutId);

You have to call CreateWritableClone method because the property PageShortcutLink is read-only
here my code:
PageReference prtest = new PageReference(21602);
PageReference prlinked = new PageReference(21603);
PageData pdtest = DataFactory.Instance.GetPage(prtest);
PageData pdClone = pdtest.CreateWritableClone();
pdClone.LinkType = PageShortcutType.Shortcut;
pdClone.Property["PageShortcutLink"].Value = prlinked;
DataFactory.Instance.Save(pdClone, SaveAction.Publish);

Next code did the job for me (but it is for external links):
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(release.link))
{
page.LinkType = PageShortcutType.External;
page.LinkURL = release.link;
}
Actually, I needed to set an external link url and tried to put something like:
page.Property["PageExternalUrl"].Value = "https://somethingnotsimpleaddress.com";
but then I got an exception that it is not possible to set not "simpleaddress" to the property. That's why I used 'LinkUrl' instead.

It is necessary to perform the planned action through the apex scheduler

i have this code:
public static String currencyConverter() {
allCurrency test = new allCurrency();
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
HttpResponse response = new HttpResponse();
Http http = new Http();
request.setEndpoint(endPoint);
request.setMethod('GET');
response = http.send(request);
String JSONresponse = response.getBody();
currencyJSON currencyJSON = (currencyJSON)JSON.deserialize(JSONresponse, currencyJSON.class);
test.USD = currencyJSON.rates.USD;
test.CAD = currencyJSON.rates.CAD;
test.EUR = currencyJSON.rates.EUR;
test.GBP = currencyJSON.rates.GBP;
Log__c logObject = new Log__c();
logObject.Status_Code__c = String.valueOf(response.getStatusCode());
logObject.Response_Body__c = response.getBody();
insert logObject;
if (response.getStatusCode() == 200) {
Exchange_Rate__c ExchangeRateObject = new Exchange_Rate__c();
ExchangeRateObject.CAD__c = currencyJSON.rates.CAD;
ExchangeRateObject.EUR__c = currencyJSON.rates.EUR;
ExchangeRateObject.GBP__c = currencyJSON.rates.GBP;
ExchangeRateObject.USD__c = currencyJSON.rates.USD;
ExchangeRateObject.Log__c = logObject.id;
insert ExchangeRateObject;
}
return JSON.serialize(test);
}
Here I am getting different currencies and then calling them in LWC and also I create two objects with values.
I want these objects to be created every day at 12PM.
Tell me how to implement this through the apex scheduler.
You need a class that implements Schedulable. Can be this class, just add that to the header and add execute method. Or can be separate class, doesn't matter much.
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_scheduler.htm
Something like
public with sharing MyClass implements Schedulable{
public static String currencyConverter() { ... your method here }
public void execute(SchedulableContext sc) {
currencyConverter();
}
}
Once your class saves OK you should be able to schedule it from UI (Setup -> Apex Classes -> button) or with System.schedule 1-liner from Developer Console for example.
Alternative would be to have a scheduled Flow - but that's bit more work with making your Apex callable from Flow.
P.S. Don't name your variables test. Eventually some time later you may need "real" stuff like Test.isRunningTest() and that will be "fun". It's like writing
Integer Account = 5; // happy debugging suckers

How to update value of a "usercert" property in LDAP AD

I have a requirement where I need to update the value saved in the property ("usercert") of a computer present in active directory.
// Retrieving properties value from AD
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(LDAPPath, LDAPUser, DecryptPwd(LDAPPwd, LDAPKey));
DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
searcher.Filter = string.Format("(&(objectCategory=computer)(Name=" + MachineName + "))");
result = searcher.FindOne();
byte[] text= (byte[])result.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["usercert"].Value;
// Updateing new value to AD string updatedText= "New Text";
if (result.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["usercert"] != null &&
result.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["usercert"].Value != null)
{
byte[] updatedTextByte = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(updatedText);
result.GetDirectoryEntry().InvokeSet("usercert", updatedPassByte);
//(result.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["usercert"]).Value = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(updatedText);
//result.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["usercert"].Add(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(updatedText));
//result.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["usercert"][0] = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(updatedText);
result.GetDirectoryEntry().CommitChanges();
}
I tried with all of the above commented code but nothing works for me. Can you please help me to solve this issue.
Calling GetDirectoryEntry() creates a new DirectoryEntry object each time you call it, which you can see in the source code here.
So when you do this:
result.GetDirectoryEntry().CommitChanges();
It's creating a brand new DirectoryEntry object and calling CommitChanges() on that. So nothing is changed.
You will need to call GetDirectoryEntry() only once and make changes to that object. For example:
var resultDe = result.GetDirectoryEntry();
resultDe.Properties["usercert"]).Value = whatever;
resuleDe.CommitChanges();

Winforms ReportViewer passing null for parameters even when the parameters are set

Even though I set the parameters in the code, I keep getting that a parameter must be set error. I have run profiler to see what is being passed to SSRS, and profiler indicates that parameters = null. Yet all of them are set in code. Anyone have any ideas? The code is as follows:
string strReportPath;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter prmFranchiseOID;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter prmSchoolOID;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter prmRoomOID;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter prmOrderDate;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter prmLanguage;
Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter prmContrast;
List<Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter> prms = new List<ReportParameter>();
byte[] pdf = null;
try
{
prmFranchiseOID = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("FranchiseOID", "8D126AA2-2E5C-4B2B-8D19-167027F8C7D8");
prmSchoolOID = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("SchoolOID", "96FEE335-0CB9-413A-9DDC-78F8C67770C4");
prmRoomOID = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("RoomOID", "null");
prmOrderDate = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("OrderDate", DateTime.Now.AddDays(1).Date.ToString());
prmLanguage = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("Language", "en-CA");
prmContrast = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("Contrast", "true");
prms.Add(prmFranchiseOID);
prms.Add(prmSchoolOID);
prms.Add(prmRoomOID);
prms.Add(prmOrderDate);
prms.Add(prmLanguage);
prms.Add(prmContrast);
// Note: For Account Holder users, their specified report folder is "/LunchLady/User".
strReportPath = "/LunchLady/Franchise/" + urlReportName;
try
{
rvReport.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new System.Uri("https://testsql.thelunchlady.ca/ReportServer");
rvReport.ServerReport.ReportPath = strReportPath;
rvReport.ServerReport.SetParameters(prms);
string ReportType = "PDF";
pdf = rvReport.ServerReport.Render(ReportType);
Thanks
Having done extensive programming on the SSRS controls in ASP.NET, one thing that I've found which may or may not be relevant for WinForms is that each SSRS parameter is actually a collection in itself (due to parameters being able to be multi-select).
So what worked for us is that the collection (prms in your case) was of type
List<IEnumerable<ReportViewer.ReportParameter>> prms
Also when adding parameters using the SetParameters function we added them one at a time:
for (int i = 0; i < prms.Count; i++)
{
rvReport.ServerReport.SetParameters(prms[i]);
}
Again, this is what worked for us in ASP.NET, could be something for you to try.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object during xml serialization and problem with selection of combobox item upon loading

question 1. I have this issue of "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when my Majorlabel is empty and this occurs after i try to do a save button click on xml serialization. How can i fix this?
private void SaveButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
string savepath;
SaveFileDialog DialogSave = new SaveFileDialog();
// Default file extension
DialogSave.DefaultExt = "txt";
// Available file extensions
DialogSave.Filter = "XML file (*.xml)|*.xml|All files (*.*)|*.*";
// Adds a extension if the user does not
DialogSave.AddExtension = true;
// Restores the selected directory, next time
DialogSave.RestoreDirectory = true;
// Dialog title
DialogSave.Title = "Where do you want to save the file?";
// Startup directory
DialogSave.InitialDirectory = #"C:/";
DialogSave.ShowDialog();
savepath = DialogSave.FileName;
DialogSave.Dispose();
DialogSave = null;
FormSaving abc = new FormSaving();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(MajorversionresultLabel.Content.ToString()))
{
abc.Majorversion = MajorversionresultLabel.Content.ToString();
}
abc.Startzbuildfrom = StartzbuildcomboBox.SelectedItem.ToString();
using (Stream savestream = new FileStream(savepath, FileMode.Create))
{
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(FormSaving));
serializer.Serialize(savestream, abc);
}
}
As recommended,
here is the line of error:
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(MajorversionresultLabel.Content.ToString()))
{
abc.Majorversion = MajorversionresultLabel.Content.ToString();
}
Question 2. I used this line to save my combo box selection:
abc.Startzbuildfrom = StartzbuildcomboBox.SelectedItem.ToString();
and in my load i have this line:
StartzbuildcomboBox.SelectedItem = abc.Startzbuildfrom
why wont it select the combobox selection previously?
As a first note, I'd recommend only putting one question into a single query here. Makes it easier.
For your second question, my guess is that you're running into a reference variable problem. I think that calling the ToString() method on the SelectedItem actually creates an entirely new string variable. Then, when you try to set the selected item later, it can't find the new string as a possible item to select because, even though the two strings have the same value, they are different objects. I would maybe recommend that you either:
1) Set the selected item by searching through your combo box contents to find a string whose value matches the one you've saved
or
2) Save the actual reference by saying abc.Startzbuildfrom = StartzbuildcomboBox.SelectedItem. Then set the selected item from that reference.
I suspect that MajorversionresultLabel is null, or MajorversionresultLabel.Content is null. Thus your statement
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(MajorversionresultLabel.Content.ToString()))
will throw a NullReferenceException. Try this instead:
if (MajorversionresultLabel != null && MajorversionresultLabel.Content != null && MajorversionLabel.Content.ToString() != string.Empty)
I bet your NullReferenceException will go away.

Retrieving mode (Basic|Advanced) of ADF query component

I want to capture query component mode(Basic | Advanced) in processQuery event listener method for QueryEvent as below:
public void processQuery(QueryEvent queryEvent)
{
// Add event code here...
QueryDescriptor qdesc = queryEvent.getDescriptor();
String searchName = qdesc.getName();
String queryMode =?
I tried to get this value from getUIHints() map using UIHINT_MODE key. but getUIHints() returns empty map.
Try this :
ViewCriteria vc = null;
try
{
Method m =
pQueryDescriptor.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("getViewCriteria",
null);
m.setAccessible(true);
vc = (ViewCriteria) m.invoke(pQueryDescriptor, null);
}
catch (Exception ite)
{
_logger.logp(Level.SEVERE, CLAZZ_NAME, methodName,
"Exception getting ViewCriteria from QueryDescriptor.",
ite);
}
String searchType =
(String) vc .getProperty(ViewCriteriaHints.CRITERIA_MODE);
The idea is to get the ViewCriteria from the QueryDescriptor and to get the mode from the VC. This is becasue the mode is set on the criteria object itself, the VC knows how to display and what to display in each mode, and so it makes the MODE an inherent property of the VC and not just a UI thing....
QueryDescriptor qdesc = queryEvent.getDescriptor();
QueryDescriptor.QueryMode mode = (QueryDescriptor.QueryMode) qdesc.getUIHints().get(qdesc.UIHINT_MODE);
if("BASIC".equals(mode.toString())){
}
