Creating Custom Field in SharePoint 2010

In this post basically I tried to answer following questions:
A. What is Custom Field in SharePoint?
B. What are the steps to implement Custom Field in SharePoint?
C. How to override Save button while creating New Item in SharePoint's List?
D. How to consume Custom Field?


I explained the above questions with following scenario:
1. Created a column based on custom field.
2. Override the Save button of New Item page.
3. In Save button click, beside performing normal operation, I am setting the another column value with concated value of custom field column and current TimeStamp.


A. What is Custom Field in SharePoint?
=============================================
Exceprt from MSDN site-
Although site columns provide users and developers with new capabilities in reuse, you can define a reusable column definition that is even more powerful. With Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010, you can drop down to a lower level by creating custom field types.
Reference: Creating Custom SharePoint 2010 Field Types


Exceprt from Chak's blog-
In SharePoint, a site column is a reusable column definition, or template, that you can assign to multiple lists across multiple SharePoint sites. Site columns are associated to a particular Data Type. This Data Type is called a Field. For example, when you create a site column, you are also prompted to select the type of information, which is nothing but a Data Type or a Field.

Sometimes, it is necessary for us to create our own custom field that does not conform to the field types included in SharePoint by default.

All you have to do is – create a custom field which would result in creating a Field Class, Field Control and Field Type Definitions.
1. The Field Class should inherit from any of the SPField classes.
2. The Field Control should have Field Rendering Control and a Field Rendering Template.
3. The Field Type Definitions is a XML file which contains some information about the custom field.

Reference: SharePoint: Creating a custom field




B. What are the steps to implement Custom Field in SharePoint?
=====================================================================

Following Components/Files are required for creating Custom Field:

1. Add Assembly reference of PresentationFramework
2. UserControl/ASCX in SharePoint Mapped CONTROLTEMPLATES folder of 14 hive
3. XML in SharePoint Mapped XML folder of 14 hive
4. XSL in SharePoint Mapped XSL folder of 14 hive [Optional]
5. C# class for CustomField
6. C# class for CustomFieldControl
7. C# class for CustomFieldValidationRule [Optional]



1. Steps to Add PresentationFramework reference:
=======================================================

Solution Explorer > Project > References > .Net tab > Select PresentationFramework


2. Steps to add UserControl:
==================================

a. Add CONTROLTEMPLATES Mapped Folder:

                if (this.ControlMode == SPControlMode.Display)
                {
                    return this.DisplayTemplateName;
                }
                else
                {
                    return "AviCustomNameFieldControl";
                }
            }
        }

        public override string DisplayTemplateName
        {

                    if (this.ControlMode == SPControlMode.New)
                    {

                    }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if (this.MyCustomNameLabel != null)
                {
                    MyCustomNameLabel.Text = (String)this.ItemFieldValue;
                    //this.MyCustomNameLabel.Text =
                      SPContext.Current.ListItem["MyName"].ToString();

        }

        protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnInit(e);

            // add save handler only in New and Edit modes
            if ((SPContext.Current.FormContext.FormMode == SPControlMode.New)
                || (SPContext.Current.FormContext.FormMode == SPControlMode.Edit))
            {
                SPContext.Current.FormContext.OnSaveHandler
                    += new EventHandler(MyCustomSaveHandler);
            }
        }

        protected void MyCustomSaveHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Page.Validate();
            if (Page.IsValid)
            {
                SPContext.Current.ListItem["SampleNameWithTimeStamp"]
                    = MyCustomNameText.Text
                    + " - " + DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString();

                SPContext.Current.ListItem["MyName"] = MyCustomNameText.Text;
                
                SPContext.Current.ListItem.Update();
            }
            else
            {
                // do actions instead of save
            }
        }

    }
}

7. Steps to add C# class for CustomFieldValidationRule:
================================================
a. Add new C# file [as mentioned in earlier steps]
b. Code snippet for CustomFieldValidationRule[e.g. AviCustomNameFieldValidationRule.cs]

using System;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Globalization;

namespace Avi
{
    public class AviCustomNameFieldValidationRule : ValidationRule
    {
        public override ValidationResult Validate(object value, 
                                                  CultureInfo cultureInfo)
        {
            String CustomName = (String)value;
            bool result = isValidCustomName(CustomName);
            if (result != true)
            {
                return new ValidationResult(false, "Enter valid Name.");
            }
            else
            {
                return new ValidationResult(true, "Name Entered is correct.");
            }
        }
        public static bool isValidCustomName(string CustomName)
        {
            //Logic to validate data
            return true;
        }
    }
}

C. How to override Save button while creating New Item in SharePoint's List?
===================================================================================
a. Register custom method to Save button click in OnInit page event
Excerpt code snippet:

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnInit(e);

            // add save handler only in New and Edit modes
            if ((SPContext.Current.FormContext.FormMode == SPControlMode.New)
                || (SPContext.Current.FormContext.FormMode == SPControlMode.Edit))
            {
                SPContext.Current.FormContext.OnSaveHandler
                    += new EventHandler(MyCustomSaveHandler);
            }
        }

b. Implement custom method [e.g. MyCustomSaveHandler]
Excerpt code snippet:

protected void MyCustomSaveHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Page.Validate();
            if (Page.IsValid)
            {
                // do actions in case of save
            }
            else
            {
                // do actions instead of save
            }
        }

Note: For complete code refer AviCustomNameFieldControl.cs class [mentioned earlier].

JavaScript in Elements.xml file of a SharePoint Feature

Here my requirement was to create a menu/link in SharePoint's SiteActions, on click of which it redirects to custom site page created under Pages folder [/Pages/MyPage.aspx].

Challenges:
1. To execute JavaScript code on menu/link click.
2. Build the absolute URL of custom page.

Solution:
1. First create a SharePoint Feature to add a new menu/link in SiteActions.
2. Modify the Elements.xml using CustomAction/URLAction to execute the JavaScript code.
3. Write the required JavaScript code as per requirement [I have written a small piece of code to fetch the current server name and then build the absolute URL of custom page].
4. Install and Activate the SPFeature.



Following is the code snippet of Elements.xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
                <CustomAction
                                GroupId = "SiteActions"

                                Sequence="1000"
                                RequireSiteAdministrator="TRUE"
                                Title="My Links">
                                <UrlAction Url="javascript:function process()
                                { 
                                 var site='{SiteUrl}'; 
                                 var pageurl = ''; 
                                 var serverName = ''; 
                                 var endindex = site.indexOf('/', '10'); 
                                 if(endindex == -1) { serverName = site; } 
                                 else { serverName = site.substring(0, endindex); } 
                                 pageurl = serverName + '/Pages/MyPage.aspx'; 
                                 window.location = pageurl;         
                                }; 

                                process();"/>
                </CustomAction>
</Elements>

3. Steps to use or consume SharePoint List or Libraries RSS functionality

• If we are planning to use out-of-box RSS functionality of SharePoint’s List or Libraries using out-of-box RSS Viewer web part of SharePoint, then we have to enable Anonymous access at List or Library level.
• If anonymous access is disabled at List or Library level then we will get following error:
  “The RSS webpart does not support authenticated feeds”

To solve the above error there are following options:

• Set anonymous access at List or Library level
• Use 3rd party RSS Feed Reader [available in Codeplex site]
• Set IIS Authentication from NTLM to Kerberos
  [Central Administration > Application Management > Manage web applications > Select desired Web application > Select Authentication Providers icon in ribbon tab > Click Default link in Authentication Providers pop-up > Edit Authentication pop-up > IIS Authentication Settings > Integrated Windows Authentication > Select Negotiate (Kerberos)]

Note: As per me first option i.e. set anonymous access is best one.


4. Master page branding or UI change in SharePoint 2010

[Note: It’s was my personal experience]
I tried to change the HTML code of default.master or V4.master page/file using SharePoint 2010 Designer (SPD).
SPD reflected all changes, but when I browsed any content page, it didn’t displayed the desired changes.

Solution [as per me]:
I created a copy of default.master or V4.master and renamed it as per requirement. Made all the required HTML changes in it and saved it. Right clicked on the new custom master page and selected the Set as Default Master Page option. Changes get reflected in both SPD and all the browsed content pages.


5. How to hide first tab of SharePoint 2010 site

We need to add following CSS class to hide first tab of SharePoint 2010 site:

.s4-tn li.static:first-child{ 
display: none; 
}

Why we need to hide the first tab???
Ans: There is well known tab selection issue in SharePoint 2010. When we select first tab, second tab always remain selected (wrong tab selection as per UI). To solve this issue, I made the first tab invisible and made the second tab as home page tab. So by this when user clicks the first visible tab, he actually clicks the second tab and hence there is no UI confusion regarding tab selection.



6. Error :
Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': A deployment or retraction is already under way for the solution "MySolution.wsp", and only one deployment or retraction at a time is supported.

Solution:
a. Enumerates all pending and active deployments in the farm using following command:
stsadm -o enumdeployments

b. Cancel the troublesome Solution that was causing problem [specify the Solution GUID using above command]:
stsadm -o canceldeployment -id <solution GUID>
