Maybe I'm misinterpreting what this toolkit is used for - -

Before I go further, trying to address the second part, I guess it would be best to address the first part:

First off - every time I tried deploying, I got an error that it couldn't find the webpart. I notices that it was looking for a path that didn't exist in the Template section. So I fixed that and it deployed. However, every time I try to add the webpart, I get a messagebox that says "Can not import this webpart"

Second - being that it's called Sharepoint 'Ajax Toolkit' - - I was assuming that it's the SharePoint version of the ASP.net Ajax Toolkit (all the different controls) - is this correct or not?

You can use the scrpit library, or the AJAX Xml Web Part which just invokes the XML control. The XML Control just takes a div, an XML url, and an XSLT url.

Hey Rahamath

This toolkit is for CLIENT SIDE AJAX-- it doesn't address anything with the Ajax Control Toolkit, which is really a server-side approach to AJAX. There are many client-side autocomplete solutions you can use if you're doing client-side code.

OK, I finally uploaded a release for you. Most people have downloaded and compiled the source code and used that. I uploaded what we ship with NewsGator Social Sites, which is in production at many fortune 500 companies.

Hey G Hickley

I recommend grabbin gthe latest source code, building it, and using that. This is a production release that we ship with NewsGator Social Sites.

I'm kind of lazy about uploading the releases though-- but the source code is always current. I'll try to be better about uploading what we ship with our product.

New Post: IE Performance

trentfoley — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:41:10 GMT

Hey Dan,

This is Trent over at Raytheon. I am working with Social Sites, as well as rolling some of my own web parts using your framework.

IE 6 and 7 (I haven't tried IE 8) seem to really choke when rendering the asynchronous content, not sure if it is a mulit-threading issue or what. FireFox hums right through it. What happens is the page appears to load but remains frozen until all the ajax web parts completely render.

The page load time is directly correlated to the number of ajax web parts on the page. Just to give you an idea, on a standard community page with 4 Ajax web parts, IE 7 will hang for about 15 seconds. If I remove all the web parts, the hang time goes down to about 3 seconds (probably due to the ajax controls on the page that are not webparts).

Have you experienced this yourself, and if so, do you have any suggestions for tweaks we can make to prevent the browser hang.

Thanks,

Trent

New Post: AutoCompleteExtender does not work in SharePoint web part

stock — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:22:03 GMT

Hi,

I use AutoCompleteExtender in SharePoint (SP) web part project. Here is the details:

1. I use WSPBuilder (http://www.codeplex.com/wspbuilder) to build my SP web part. The web part has Ajax feature. That is ScriptManager exists on the sharepoint page. In the CreateChildControls method of the web part, I have these code:

private AutoCompleteExtender autoComplete = new AutoCompleteExtender();

private TextBox TB_SearchSubject = new TextBox();

protected override void CreateChildControls()

{

base.CreateChildControls();

TB_SearchSubject.ID = "TB_SearchSubject";

TB_SearchSubject.Width = 120;

this.Controls.Add(TB_SearchSubject);

System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl div = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl();

div.ID = "ListPlacement";

div.Attributes["style"] = "height:300px; overflow-y:scroll;";

this.Controls.Add(div);

autoComplete.ID = "AutoComplete1";

autoComplete.MinimumPrefixLength = 1;

autoComplete.CompletionSetCount = 20;

autoComplete.CompletionInterval = 1000;

autoComplete.DelimiterCharacters = ";, :";

autoComplete.CompletionListElementID = "ListPlacement";

autoComplete.EnableCaching = true;

autoComplete.ServicePath = "../12/TEMPLATE/LAYOUTS/AutoCompleteWebService.asmx";

autoComplete.ServiceMethod = "GetSubjects";

autoComplete.TargetControlID = "TB_SearchSubject";

//autoComplete.ContextKey = "SubjectID|CLL";

this.Controls.Add(autoComplete);

}

2. The web service file AutoCompleteWebService.asmx has this code:

[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]

[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]

[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]

public class AutoCompleteWebService : System.Web.Services.WebService

{

[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]

[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethod]

public string[] GetSubjects(string prefixText, int count, string contextKey)

{

if (count == 0)

{

count = 10;

}

List<string> items = new List<string>(count);

ArrayList arr_test = new ArrayList();

arr_test.Add("ab");

arr_test.Add("kg");

arr_test.Add("iq");

arr_test.Add("le");

arr_test.Add("cd");

for (int i = 0; i < arr_test.Count; i++)

{

items.Add(AjaxControlToolkit.AutoCompleteExtender.CreateAutoCompleteItem(arr_test[i].ToString(), arr_test[i].ToString()));

}

return items.ToArray();

}

3. Now, I build and deploy WSP file to the SharePoint server in my dev box. Deployment is OK. The web part is also available on the sharepoint page. I have checked the file AutoCompleteWebService.asmx indeeds locates at ../12/ TEMPLATE/LAYOUTS/AutoCompleteWebService.asmx.

Now, I enter “a” to the text box, a list of “undefined” appears (all the items are “undefined”). If everything worked, “ab” should be displayed as I have “ab” item in the ArrayList (see the code above).

4. If I place the AutoCompleteExtender to a normal ASP.NET app and the web service asmx file exactly has the same code as above, it works and “ab” is shown.

So, what things go wrong in the SharePoint web part?

If you know what problem is, could you make comment about it? Thanks.

New Post: Loading External RSS with XmlWebPart

daniellarson — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:19:09 GMT

Yes! We actually use the SharePoiont Ajax Toolkit, and specifically the Ajax XmlWebPart, for our commercial product "NewsGator Social Sites" (of which RSS aggregation is only a minor functionality).

An IMPORTANT thing for you to realize is that you MUST handle data cleansing on the server. Otherwise your AJAX code can be opening up all sorts of XSS and other scripting attacks. The NewsGator backend server handles this for us, and outputs server-aggregated data that is then loaded and rendered from the client.

Have you loked into using the NewsGator server for this? I'd recommend it, there's a lot of engineering our team put into it to make aggregation really easy. Otherwise, I'd recommend a server side approach for the aggregation itself since you NEED to scrub that content. Keep in mind that most SharEPoint environments MAY be runing as "trusted sites" in IE (not necessarily best, but possible), so you don't want your users to trust unfiltered external content with the same trust as native sharepoint coontent. MS has an AntiXSS library that you may want to check out, which is also on Codeplex.

New Post: Loading External RSS with XmlWebPart

nickdelrosario — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:19:29 GMT

I see, this is similar to how NewsGator implements its RSS aggregate feeds? Does the handler approach have any performance hits to it?

We are looking for a way to possibly use just Ajax so that the xml retrieval and aggregation/transformation are all done in the client side, would this be possible in Ajax? The RSS Aggregator will be on the home page of our site and might contain a large number of feeds to aggregate per user thus the approach to just have it all done client side.

New Post: Loading External RSS with XmlWebPart

daniellarson — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:56:30 GMT

YES! You'll need to load a local URL. So write an HTTP handler proxy for whatever content you're getting-- but you are ALSO responsible for security when you do that, so be sure to sanitize any content to prevent malicious code such as XSS attacks.

nickdelrosario — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:18:55 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to load an external RSS file for testing purposes with the default Xml Web Part but the webpart just shows the a continuous loading image. Is there something I am missing out?

I am also looking into creating a Ajax enabled SharePoint RSS Aggregator, would extending the xml web part be a good starting point?

Nick
