problem with TreeListNode - devexpress

I'm trying to create a treelistnode. The following below code getting an error:
private TreeListNode CreateTreeNode(EntityInfo entity)
{
CategoryInfo info = entity as CategoryInfo;
TreeListNode treeNode = new TreeListNode();
treeNode.SetValue("CatName", info.CatName);
treeNode.SetValue("CateCode", info.CateCode);
treeNode.SetValue("Id", info.Id);
treeNode.Tag = info.Id;
return treeNode;
}
Error
DevExpress.XtraTreeList.Nodes.TreeListNode.TreeListNode(int, DevExpress.XtraTreeList.Nodes.TreeListNodes)' is inaccessible due to its protection level
I need your help to create a separate treelistnode
Thanks!

You should use the TreeList's AppendNode method instead. Please also refer to the How to: Create Nodes in Unbound Mode in Code topic.

How to get the keyword from category name in C# TBB?

I am trying to fetch the keyword present in the Category using C# TBB to use the output in following DWT TBB.
For that I have a component with the Category field.
I am trying to write the following C# TBB to get the keyword value.
<%#Import NameSpace="Tridion.ContentManager.Templating.Expression" %>
try
{
string className = package.GetValue("Component.Fields.title");
KeywordField keywordField = package.GetKeywordByTitle(className);
package.PushItem("Class", package.CreateStringItem(ContentType.Text, keywordField.Value.Key));
}
catch(TemplatingException ex)
{
log.Debug("Exception is " + ex.Message);
}
But I am getting following compilation error.
Could not compile template because of: error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'KeywordField' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) error CS1061: 'Tridion.ContentManager.Templating.Package' does not contain a definition for 'GetKeywordByTitle' and no extension method 'GetKeywordByTitle' accepting a first argument of type 'Tridion.ContentManager.Templating.Package' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Please suggest me how can I achieve it?
Thanks in advance
Af Jeremy suggested you should study API, I am providing you example of getting keywords from categories. Hope it may help
Include files
using Tridion.ContentManager;
using Tridion.ContentManager.CommunicationManagement;
using Tridion.ContentManager.Templating.Assembly;
using Tridion.ContentManager.ContentManagement;
using Tridion.ContentManager.ContentManagement.Fields;
using Tridion.ContentManager.Templating;
Sample Code, You can use Key and Value from loop here as per your requirement.
string catID = package.GetByName("CategoryID").GetAsString();
TcmUri catURI = new TcmUri(int.Parse(catID), ItemType.Category, PubId);
var theCategory = m_Engine.GetObject(catURI) as Category;
catKeywords = GetCatKeywords(theCategory);
string strSelect = "<select>";
foreach (Keyword k in catKeywords)
{
k.Key // Keyowrd key
k.Value // KEyword Value
}
//keyword list
private IList<Keyword> GetCatKeywords(Category category)
{
IList<Keyword> keywords;
if (!Utilities.IsNull(category))
{
Filter filter = new Filter();
filter.BaseColumns = ListBaseColumns.IdAndTitle;
keywords = category.GetKeywords(filter);
if (!Utilities.IsNull(keywords))
{
return keywords;
}
}
return null;
}
The error message is absolutely clear what the problem is - there's no reference to the KeywordField class. You need to import the relevant namespace:
<%#Import NameSpace="Tridion.ContentManager.ContentManagement.Fields" %>
Also absolutely clear is the fact that the Package object doesn't have a method called GetKeywordByTitle. There is a GetByName method, but this is for retrieving a named item from the Package, not for getting an object from the respository.
Tridion.ContentManager.ContentManagement.Category does have a GetKeywordByTitle method, but to use this you will have to get the category first, which will likely mean having to know the URI of the category.
Perhaps you need to study the API docs some more?
"GetKeywordByTitle" is not a method on Package, its a method on Category.
Can't you just new-up Keyword?
string selectedKeyword= package.GetValue("Component.Fields.title");
Keyword keyword = new Keyword(selectedKeyword, engine.GetSession());
Cheers

"Unexpected list type" exception when invoking ISessionAwareCoreService.GetList()

I am invoking the Tridion 2011 SP1 core service via the shipped client assembly. When I attempt to list the contents of a publication, I get an exception.
The code (simplified) looks like this:
ItemsFilterData filter = new Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService
.Client.RepositoryItemsFilterData.RepositoryItemsFilterData();
filter.ItemTypes = new ItemType[] {
ItemType.Folder,
ItemType.StructureGroup
};
filter.Recursive = false;
IEnumerable<IdentifiableObjectData> childItems = core.GetList("tcm:0-15-1", filter);
Note: the variable "core" refers to an ISessionAwareCoreService which I can successfully use to call, for example core.GetSystemWideList()
When .GetList is invoked, I get the following exception:
System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1 was unhandled
Message=Unexpected list type:
Tridion.ContentManager.Data.ContentManagement.RepositoryItemsFilterData.
What are the possible causes of this problem? Can you suggest a good general approach for interpreting this kind of message?
You can't get the direct children of a Publication using GetList. Instead you should just load the PublicationData with a client.Read and then access the RootFolder and RootStructureGroup on that.
PublicationData pub = (PublicationData)core.Read("tcm:0-1-1", new ReadOptions());
string rootFolder = pub.RootFolder.IdRef;
string rootSG = pub.RootStructureGroup.IdRef;
Alternatively you can call GetListXml with your RepositoryItemsFilterData and extract the items from the XML yourself.
XElement listResult = core.GetListXml(parent.ID, filter);

Javascript permission denied error when using Atalasoft DotImage

Have a real puzzler here. I'm using Atalasoft DotImage to allow the user to add some annotations to an image. When I add two annotations of the same type that contain text that have the same name, I get a javascript permission denied error in the Atalasoft's compressed js. The error is accessing the style member of a rule:
In the debugger (Visual Studio 2010 .Net 4.0) I can access
h._rule
but not
h._rule.style
What in javascript would cause permission denied when accessing a membere of an object?
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this. I see several people using Atalasoft on SO and I even saw a response from someone with Atalasoft. And yes, I'm talking to them, but it never hurts to throw it out to the crowd. This only happens in IE8, not FireFox.
Thanks, Brian
Updates: Yes, using latest version: 9.0.2.43666
By same name (see comment below) I mean, I created default annotations and they are named so they can be added with javascript later.
// create a default annotation
TextData text = new TextData();
text.Name = "DefaultTextAnnotation";
text.Text = "Default Text Annotation:\n double-click to edit";
//text.Font = new AnnotationFont("Arial", 12f);
text.Font = new AnnotationFont(_strAnnotationFontName, _fltAnnotationFontSize);
text.Font.Bold = true;
text.FontBrush = new AnnotationBrush(Color.Black);
text.Fill = new AnnotationBrush(Color.Ivory);
text.Outline = new AnnotationPen(new AnnotationBrush(Color.White), 2);
WebAnnotationViewer1.Annotations.DefaultAnnotations.Add(text);
In javascript:
CreateAnnotation('TextData', 'DefaultTextAnnotation');
function CreateAnnotation(type, name) {
SetAnnotationModified(true);
WebAnnotationViewer1.DeselectAll();
var ann = WebAnnotationViewer1.CreateAnnotation(type, name);
WebThumbnailViewer1.Update();
}
There was a bug in an earlier version that allowed annotations to be saved with the same unique id's. This generally doesn't cause problems for any annotations except for TextAnnotations, since they use the unique id to create a CSS class for the text editor. CSS doesn't like having two or more classes defined by the same name, this is what causes the "Permission denied" error.
You can remove the unique id's from the annotations without it causing problems. I have provided a few code snippets below that demonstrate how this can be done. Calling ResetUniques() after you load the annotation data (on the server side) should make everything run smoothly.
-Dave C. from Atalasoft
protected void ResetUniques()
{
foreach (LayerAnnotation layerAnn in WebAnnotationViewer1.Annotations.Layers)
{
ResetLayer(layerAnn.Data as LayerData);
}
}
protected void ResetLayer(LayerData layer)
{
ResetUniqueID(layer);
foreach (AnnotationData data in layer.Items)
{
LayerData group = data as LayerData;
if (group != null)
{
ResetLayer(data as LayerData);
}
else
{
ResetUniqueID(data);
}
}
}
protected void ResetUniqueID(AnnotationData data)
{
data.SetExtraProperty("_atalaUniqueIndex", null);
}

Error while updating Database record with Entity Framework on ASP.NET MVC Page

I have an ASP.NET Page that updates registered User Address Details for a selected record.
Below is the update method that I am calling from my controller.
When I am calling the ApplyPropertyChanges method, I am getting an error. Did anyone run into the same error while updating the record with Entity Framework?
Appreciate your responses.
Error message:
The existing object in the ObjectContext is in the Added state. Changes can only be applied when the existing object is in an unchanged or modified state.
My Update method:
[HttpPost]
public bool UpdateAddressDetail([Bind(Prefix = "RegUser")] AddressDetail regUserAddress, FormCollection formData)
{
regUserAddress.AD_Id = 3;
regUserAddress.LastUpdated = HttpContext.User.Identity.Name;
regUserAddress.UpdatedOn = DateTime.Now;
regUserAddress.AddressType = ((AddressDetail)Session["CurrentAddress"]).AddressType ?? "Primary";
regUserAddress.Phone = ((AddressDetail)Session["CurrentAddress"]).Phone;
regUserAddress.Country = ((AddressDetail)Session["CurrentAddress"]).AddressType ?? "USA";
miEntity.ApplyPropertyChanges(regUserAddress.EntityKey.EntitySetName, regUserAddress);
miEntity.SaveChanges();
return true;
}
The error is the object is detached from the context, and ApplyPropertyChanges thinks the object is added because it isn't attached. So you would need to query from the data context or get an attached form and then apply the changes then.
HTH.
What Dave Said
+
You need to Attach() the disconnected entity to your object context:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.objects.objectcontext.attach.aspx
miEntity.Attach(regUserAddress);
miEntity.SaveChanges();
Just add the following code before miEntity.SaveChanges():
miEntity.Entry(regUserAddress).State = EntityState.Modified;
First select the record (object entity), search by key through the ObjectContext. For example if the search ArticleSet EntitySet called for there to record, and once you get it modified its properties with new values and then call SaveChanges() of ObjectContext.
Example:
ObjectQuery<Article> myArt=Context.ArticleSet.Where myArt = (row => row.ArticleId == value);
myArt.Description=" new value ";
etc. ..
etc ...
Context.SaveChanges ();

Committing new data to database via EF, Errors ensue with Attaching/Adding

So I'm starting out with EF on my website (C#) and Ive run into a bit of a snag. A user can either create or modify data and they will do that with the selection screen (page 1). If a user selects to create new data, I will perform the following code:
Program newProg = new Program();
using (DatabaseEntities context = new DatabaseEntities())
{
Guid id = new Guid(list.SelectedValue);
var itemString = from item in context.Set where item.Id == id select item;
Item selectedItem = itemString.ToList()[0];
newProg.Items.Add(selectedItem);
context.AddToProgramSet(newProg);
context.Detach(newProg);
}
Pretty much creating a new instance of the 'Program' which will be passed along each user control until the user is ready to submit to the database. At that point the following code will be executed:
using (DatabaseEntities context = new DatabaseEntities())
{
context.AddToProgramSet(this.SummaryControl.SelectedProgram);
context.SaveChanges();
}
Unfortunately when I get there, I receive the following message:
The object cannot be added to the ObjectStateManager because it already has an EntityKey. Use ObjectContext.Attach to attach an object that has an existing key.
at this line:
context.AddToProgramSet(this.SummaryControl.SelectedProgram);
Also, when I add the following line prior to the previous:
context.Attach(this.SummaryControl.SelectedProgram);
I get this error:
An object with a null EntityKey value cannot be attached to an object context.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The root cause of this error is that you are attempting to add an Entity as a new Entity that already has its primary key set.
At what point do you add the Entities to your SummaryControl? Your first code snippet shows you adding the Entity:
...
newProg.Items.Add(selectedItem);
context.AddToProgramSet(newProg);
context.Detach(newProg);
...
Then you appear to add it again:
using (DatabaseEntities context = new DatabaseEntities())
{
context.AddToProgramSet(this.SummaryControl.SelectedProgram);
context.SaveChanges();
}
If newProg and this.SummaryControl.SelectedProgram are the same Entity, you've attempted to add it twice. Remove the context.AddToProgramSet(newProg); from the first snippet, do you work on the Entity, then add it to the ProgramSet.
Dave is right that the root cause is that the entity already has a primary key.
One thing that you do not show in your code is how:
Program newProg = new Program();
Becomes:
this.SummaryControl.SelectedProgram
One way that you could fix it is by saving newProg to the database before you start adding Items to it.
