Hi

Me 2. I am running against Foundation on localhost:8081. I will try and catch the SoapException to see if there is a message..I take it there is You've not had a resolution on this yet

I have found a couple of mistakes in the book already.

Regards

Daniel

Essentially, we need to the following before making the

myListService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
myListService.PreAuthenticate = true;

myListService.Url = "http://[YOUR SERVER]/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";

I applied the fix using:
myListService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
myListService.PreAuthenticate = true;

but I still keep getting the error:
SoapException was unhandled
Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerExcepti on'

The error is on line:
XmlNode myListView = myListService.GetListAndView("Customers", "");

Did anyone run into this issue??

Also, on the code provided in the ZIP download the reference to:
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;

is missing but is mentioned in the book on page 86

This is really frustrating to hit so many errors on the VERY FIRST PROJECT !!

Can anyone help.

Thanks.

Hi are you still having issues? I think I got this working under sp2010 foundation.I have since set up SharePoint enterprise on my laptop which is a lot easier than the former even if it takes 3 times as long to do....I could port to this new env and retry.

Hey for anyone having this problem here is what solved it for me:

I changed the line:

myListService.Url = "http://<your server name>/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";

to

myListService.Url =
"http://<your server name>/sites/Team/_vt_bin/Lists.asmx";

"Team" is what I called my site collection.

Just go to your list and look at the full path of that site. Then modify your URL to include the site your list is in and it should work.

Had the path wrong... but I got it working. Thanks for the tip.

hello

I have read through the posts here and fixed the SOAP issue, however now i am having a "Web Exception is unhandled ; The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found". I am new to this book and programming in VS so i am not familar with all the lingo. I tried to find out what this error means but not much luck. Any help will be appreciated.

Here is my code. It should be exactly like the book.

Code:

WPFSPListApp.MySPWebService.Lists myListService = new MySPWebService.Lists();
           
                myListService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
                myListService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
                myListService.PreAuthenticate = true;

            myListService.Url = "http://servername/sites/BegSP/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";

            XmlNode myListView = myListService.GetListAndView("Customers","");
            strListID = myListView.ChildNodes[0].Attributes["Name"].Value;
            strViewID = myListView.ChildNodes[1].Attributes["Name"].Value;

When I attempt to build the solution, I get an error in the "ThisAddIn" class at the line

Code:

 ctp = this.CustomTaskPanes.Add(ctrl, ctrlTitle);

. The error is a type cast error can not convert from Systems.Windows.Control to Systems.Windows.Forms.Control error. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have tried dot net 3.5/4.0 and still the error. In dot net 3.5, the xaml library does not exist, but in the 4.0 it does but throws this error.

Add the System.Xml namespace and the System.Xml.Linq

Remove line one - - > myListService.URL = "http.... then your build will run with 0 errors 0 warnings and 0 Messages

Use Westerdaled's advice from the blog post, on commenting out

///+ myListService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; +/

and then adding these two lines

myListService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

myListService.PreAuthenticate = true;

along with HP's advice on using the correct path all the way into the sub site,

so http://2010app1/sites/team/how?_vti_bin/Lists.asmx

and not http://2010app1/_vti_...

did the trick thanks again
