Some times you cant deploy or retract the sloution in the solution managemetn

The administration service is running so all administration jobs will be run in
the timer service.


Symptom:

I had a solution that was stuck in the deploying state.  When I looked at it, it had only deployed successfully on one the the front ends.  To solve the problem, I ran stsadm execadmjobs.  I have done this multiple times in 2007, but this time I got this message:

The administration service is running so all administration jobs will be run in the timer service.

Problem:

The timer service is set to take care of all admin tasks, so it is telling you that the jobs will run when the timer service is good and ready to kick them off, but until then, just sit on your hands and wait.

Solution:

Stop the admin service, then run the command to execute the admin jobs, then turn back on the admin service.  These are the three powershell commands to do this:
 •net stop SPAdminV4
•Start-SPAdminJob
•net start SPAdminV4

The first command shuts off the admin service.  The second command is the powershell equivalent to stsadm execadmjobs and the third one turns back on the admin service.

Custom master page in SharePoint 2010 using VS 2010

Steps to create a custom master page in sharepoint 2010 using VS2010

1. Create an empty SharePoint Solution
2. Add a Module in the Project ( module name branding )
3. Add a master page(master page name mymaster)
4. Add the content in the master page
5. Change the Element file as following 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <Module Name="brading">
  <File Path="brading\mymaster.master" Url="brading/mymaster.master" /></Module></Elements>

Url  ---->  it create the folder structure  exampl branding /mymaster creates the mymaster file inside the branding folder

1. Add the event receiver as follows to change the master page at the time of feature activated 

   and change the default master page at at the time of feature deactivated

   // Uncomment the method below to handle the event raised after a feature has been activated.public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
   {
       SPWeb currentWeb = (SPWeb)properties.Feature.Parent;
   
       currentWeb.MasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/mymaster.master";
       currentWeb.CustomMasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/mymaster.master";
       currentWeb.Update();
   }
   
   // Uncomment the method below to handle the event raised before a feature is deactivated.public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
   {
       SPWeb currentWeb = (SPWeb)properties.Feature.Parent;
   
       currentWeb.MasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/nightandday.master";
       currentWeb.CustomMasterUrl = "/_catalogs/masterpage/nightandday.master";
       currentWeb.Update();
   }

   Please note this is for the Site master no need to made much changes in the system master page.

   Just change the logo of the master page that is enough.

The request failed with HTTP status 417: Expectation failed when SharePoint calling .asmx web service

I tried to access a web method in a .asmx web service from SharePoint web service.
To add a web reference steps

1. Add Service Reference
2. Click Advance button in the window
3. Click Add Web Reference in the next window
4. Then paste the asmx path add give a reference name then click ok

After this I tried to call the web method but it gives the  The request failed with HTTP status 417 error  I tried with Google finally I found a link in Code Project
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/94235/The-request-failed-with-HTTP-status-417-Expectatio

Steps to Resolve

• We need to have this line of code before making any web requests:  

         System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false; 

• Add these lines to the application's configuration file (between <configuration> and </configuration>): 

  <system.net>
   <settings>
    <servicePointManager expect100Continue="false" />
   </settings>
  </system.net>

  Now Everything goes fine.

  Happy Coding :)

Error in using list view control in SharePoint 2010 visual webpart

Hi Tried to add a list view control in the SharePoint 2010 visual webpart but it give the error like following.

Line 8:  <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="BlogListUserControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="BlackintonWebparts.BlogList.BlogListUserControl" %>

Line 9: 

Line 10: <asp:ListView ID="ListViewProducts" runat="server" ItemPlaceholderID="ProductItem">

Line 11:     <ItemTemplate>

Line 12:

After that I found the namespace is not register so I register the name space

Add the following code under the <controls> section under <system.web> and pages in the webcofig file
 
<add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />



Or add in the ascx file or aspx file



<%@ Register Assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" TagPrefix="asp" %>

Happy coding :))
