SharePoint User Group UK

Hello all,

I have just started using Smart part v1_3.

I built a hello world app and that worked so I started putting together a real app.

Basically, without going into un-needed detail, I need to call the List.asmx sharepoint web service.

http://MY_SERVER_NAME/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx

I added a service reference (WCF not an old web service although I did try that also with no luck)

So my web.config looks like this and it all works fine in my stand alone app.:

<system.serviceModel>
        <bindings>
            <basicHttpBinding>
                <binding name="ListsSoap" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536" messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered" useDefaultWebProxy="true">
                    <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384"/>
                    <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
                        <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None" realm=""/>
                        <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default"/>
                    </security>
                </binding>
            </basicHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
            <endpoint address="http://tdrsshptd01/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ListsSoap" contract="mySPServiceRef.ListsSoap" name="ListsSoap"/>
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>

When I deploy to Sharepoint for use in my smart part I add my user control to the following folder:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\UserControls

This is the same folder as the hello world app I mentioned before.

then I pasted / added the above web.config sections to the system.ServiceModel as shown above. Before you ask, I have pasted it in the right place as I have done this loads of times just not with smart part. The location of this web.config was here:C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80 which is the correct web.config for the site I am working on.

ok ready to rock and roll.

So I go into my smart part and put it into edit mode.

first thing I notice is that the "user control to display" drop down says: "could not load MyUserControl.ascx"

I choose it anyway and click ok and also exit edit mode.

Now the smart part says:


mySPServiceRef is the name of my WCF service.

So why would it work stand alone and not in sharepoint.

sharepoint doesnt know about my WCF service.

In the following post:
http://blogs.msdn.com/jowardel/archive/2008/08/08/installing-smartpart-for-sharepoint-with-a-dash-of-wcf-1-of-2.aspx

I found this paragraph:
8) Next add two dirctories to your website; UserControls and Bin. The former is where your ASCX user controls (and their code-behind) will reside, and the latter is where the corresponding user control assembly will sit (if you have any classes/interfaces which are not control code files, for example WCF proxies).

So I created the BIN folder but i'm not sure what to put inside it?

Which one is my WCF proxy. These are the files created inside my App_WebReferences folder in my stand alone project?:
configuration.svcinfo
Lists.disco
Lists.wsdl
Reference.svcmap

Do I put these in my BIN folder?

Slightly confused and running out of time!

comments?
thanks
