Simple way to remove webpart in a page programmatically. [Here I am trying to remove all webparts which are added to 'dafault.aspx' page when I created to Report site]
[SPLimitedWebPartManager is under "microsoft.sharepoint.webpartpages" namespace]
SPLimitedWebPartManager reportWebPartManager = sourceWeb.GetLimitedWebPartManager("Pages/default.aspx", System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);
int webPartCount = reportWebPartManager.WebParts.Count;
for (int i = webPartCount - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
reportWebPartManager.DeleteWebPart(reportWebPartManager.WebParts[i]);
}
reportWebPartManager.Dispose();

Adding "Report viewer" webpart programmatically , sharepoint 2007
I know there are many people who are trying to find the solution to add "Report viewer webpart programmatically" to sharepoint 2007 pages. Ok, don't waste time anymore, I will show you how to do that.
STEPS:
1. Open page and manually add "Report Viewer webpart" [this is on "development" machine]
2. After adding webpart find small arrow on right side of web part and click on it to get drop down menu.
3. click on Export and it gives dialogue box to save /open. Save it some location [let's say on Desktop but safe bet is to add to your package folder so that when deployed u can write code to copy this to particular location on production (12 hive folder) then use that location in your code]
4. Now copy and paste the following code.
try
{
using (SPSite sourceSite = new SPSite(siteUrl))
{
using (SPWeb sourceWeb = sourceSite.OpenWeb())
{
sourceWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList publishList = sourceWeb.Lists["Pages"]; //THIS is the list name where your pages are stored. If you stored your pages in different list give that name.
int publishListItemCount = publishList.Items.Count;
for (int i = 1; i < publishListItemCount; i++)
{
SPListItem publishListItem = publishList.Items[i];
publishListItem.File.CheckOut();
SPLimitedWebPartManager WebPartMgr = sourceWeb.GetLimitedWebPartManager(siteUrl + "/Pages/" + publishListItem.File.Name, System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);
System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\Report_Viewer.dwp");
//I saved to this location and my code copy webpart to this location in production when I run deployment package.
//This is needed when we import 'reportviewer' webpart.
//I copied follwoing code from internet...I really don't have any clue about this
if (HttpContext.Current == null)
{
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest("", WebPartMgr.Web.Url, "");
HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(request, new HttpResponse(new System.IO.StringWriter()));
HttpContext.Current.Items["HttpHandlerSPWeb"] = WebPartMgr.Web;
}
string errors = String.Empty;
System.Xml.XmlReader xr = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(new System.IO.StringReader(sr.ReadToEnd()));
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart webPart = WebPartMgr.ImportWebPart(xr, out errors);
string zoneId = "Header";
int zoneIndex = 0;
webPart.Title = publishListItem.Title;
WebPartMgr.AddWebPart(webPart, zoneId, zoneIndex);
sr.Dispose();
publishListItem.File.CheckIn("Added 'Report viewer' webpart");
publishListItem.File.Publish("Added 'Report viewer' webpart");
}
sourceWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new Exception(ex.Message);
}
You are done........open your pages and you see webparts are added to your pages !!!!

How to add Custom FIELDS/Columns to Contenttype/LIST programmatically , SHAREPOINT MOSS 2007
I know there are many people who are trying to find a way to add "Custom columns" to contenttypes/lists programmatically ...I spent reasonable time to figure it out so I would like to share it so it may be useful for others...
Ok, I had 2 cups of coffee and then sat in front of system to start my sharepoint deployment package. Everything is going cool until I try to add my custom column with custom fieldtype to my contenttype and attach that contenttype to list. My contenttype is not attached to list...it says "object reference not set to instance of the object".....bang........some thing wrong...!!
I spent some time then finally found solution !! solution is simple "Don't add custom fields to contenttype. use only that are supported by Sharepoint..." I know what you are thinking now....but hold on a second and let me explain it you clearly
1. First, Add the column to contenttype with the base Fieldtype of your custom fieldtype [every custom fieldtype must derive from sharepoint base fieldtype]
2. Attach contenttype, created in step 1, to your list [or multiple lists]. Here you won't see any error and all contenttypes are attached to Sharepoint Lists successfully. So far so good.
3. Now, change the base field type to your custom Field type and update it........then it updates all lists/contenttypes !!!!
I am providing sample code......for STEP 3 [I am assuming you did step 1 and step2]
private void UpdateFieldToCustomFieldType(Guid siteCollectionID, string customFieldType, string fieldName, bool hideField)
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteCollectionID))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
if (web.Fields.ContainsField(fieldName))
{
try
{
SPField customField = web.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName(fieldName);
customField.SchemaXml = customField.SchemaXml.Replace("Text", customFieldType); //"Text" is basefieldtype of my customfieldtype which I used in step 1 to add to contenttype
customField.Group = "Custom Columns";
customField.Hidden = hideField;
customField.Update(true); //this is important to propagate changes to all contenttypes/lists
web.Fields[customField.Id].Update();
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
throw (ex);
}
}
}}}

Add New toolbar button on Task Form , MOSS 2007
Ok...it took me some time to keep my word, i promised in my previous blog that I am going to write a blog for adding new custom button to Task toolbar with out creating custom forms..!
Lots of blogs I found on internet says that you need to create a custom form if you want to modify something in default forms that generated automatically whenever you create list in sharepoint..but i don't want to follow that procedure because for me that does not make much sense for small modifications...
You may be thinking, is it can be deployed to production? Yes, the procedure I am following is very easy to deploy to production and you DON'T need to have Sharepoint Designer in production.!!
Ok, enough theory now we see how we can do this....
First, if you did not read my previous blog then first read that blog and come back here because I am not going to explain how to create "CustomToolBar.ascx" page.
STEPS TO FOLLOW
1. Now, I am assuming you read my previous blog and created "CustomToolBar.ascx" page and placed it in right folder.
2. Open the file you created in above step [you can open with Notepad or you can open with Visual studio].
3. Create custom button which we are going to use in the Task form
Code to create Custom Button
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
namespace MAR.HariCustomButton
{
public class CustomOKButton : Button
{
public CustomOKButton() : base()
{
}
public override string AccessKey
{
get
{
return base.AccessKey;
}
set
{
base.AccessKey = value;
}
}
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
this.Text = "Custom OK";
this.UseSubmitBehavior = false;
this.ID = "saveCustonButton";
this.CssClass = "ms-ButtonHeightWidth"; //default sharepoint button CSS
this.Click += new EventHandler(CustomOKButton_Click);
//SHOW this button in NEW/EDIT forms only...
if (SPContext.Current.FormContext.FormMode == SPControlMode.New || SPContext.Current.FormContext.FormMode == SPControlMode.Edit)
{
this.Visible = true;
}
else
this.Visible = false;
}
void CustomOKButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
//DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT HERE.....................
SPListItem NewListItem = SPContext.Current.ListItem;
NewListItem["updateFieldName"] = "FieldValuechanged";
NewListItem.Update();
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
throw new System.Exception(ex.Message);
}
}
}
}
4.Compile the project and sign the assembly. 'Signing' of assembly is required [to sign, right click on project, go to "properties", Select "Sign" tab and sign it]
5. Now go ahead register the assembly, which you created in above step, in "CustomToolbat.ascx" page.
<%@Register TagPrefix="MAR" Assembly="MAR.HariCustomButton, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9f4dakji9c38ec5" namespace="MAR.HariCustomButton"%>
** Version and PublicKeyToken is different for your assembly **
6. find "<wssuc:ToolBar CssClass="ms-formtoolbar" id="toolBarTbl" [if you search you find this tag 2 times so add following code in 2 places] in "customToolbar.ascx" file. Add your control in "<Template_RightButtons>" section.
<Template_RightButtons>
<MAR:CustomOKButton accesskey="<%$Resources:wss,tb_save_AK%>" style="display:none" target="_self" runat="server"/>
<SharePoint:SaveButton runat="server" />
<SharePoint:GoBackButton runat="server"/>
</Template_RightButtons>
** When you add your button in <Template_RightButtons> section then it appears in all lists. So if you want your button to appear on all Lists then you can delete style="display:none" and you are done....!!
7. But, my case is different, I don't want my button to appear in all lists forms so I make it invisible by default so that I can make it visible for particular list. For that you need to follow 2 more steps.
8. Lets say, I have a custom list in sharepoint named as "ShowMyButtonList" and I have following javascript in my "showbutton.js" file.
function showButtoncontrol() //'saveCustonButton' is the id of my custom button
{
var FieldName = 'saveCustonButton';
var arr = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i=0;i < arr.length; i++ )
{
if (arr[i].id.indexOf(FieldName) > -1 || arr[i].title.indexOf(FieldName) > -1)
{
var control = arr[i];
control.style.display = 'block'; //when we created button it is 'invisble' by default, make it visible
}
}
}
//Insert javscript based on page
var strHref = window.location.href;
//u can find this from URL when you open your list
if (strHref.indexOf("Lists/ShowMyButtonList/NewForm.aspx") > -1 || strHref.indexOf("Lists/ShowMyButtonList/EditForm.aspx") > -1)
{
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("showButtoncontrol");
}
9. Place the javascript file you created in Step 8 in to "12/Template/LayOuts/1033/showbutton.js"
10. Now, very important step....if you followed all my above steps then Enjoy...else repeat step 1 to 9 to make sure everything is correct...
Happy programming.....

Customize List Form Tool bar buttons in Sharepoint...
Ever wondered how to customize Toolbar buttons in list/task forms at site collection level? Life is easy if you know basic sharepoint folder structure!
Here is what you do
1. Go to ControlTemplates under 12 hive folder [C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES]
2. Now create new ascx file under that folder [right click and create txt document then rename it to CustomToolBar.ascx]
3. Now locate "DefaultTemplates.ascx" file under same folder and search for following
4. Copy entire tag
<sharepoint:renderingtemplate id="ListForm" runat="server"> ........ All the text until......</sharepoint:renderingtemplate>
5. Now open the ascx file you created in step 2and paste the code you copied from "defaultTemplates.ascx" in step 4.
6. Now locate "sharepoint:savebutton" in your file. Now you can customize it for example: add Text="Save" so button Text changed from "Ok" to "Save" !!!
you can do the same for sharepoint:gobackbutton
[NEVER MODIFY DefaultTemplates.ascx FILE. CREATE YOUR OWN FILE, SHAREPOINT USES YOUR FILE TO OVERRIDE DEFAULTEMPLATES.ASCX FILE]
7.Also, don't forget to add <assembly> and <page> directives to your custom file from DefaultTemplates.ascx file.
8.Now, You MUST restart IIS to see your changes... [u can use iisreset /noforce from command prompt to restart your IIS]
Enjoy...............
In my next blog..i will show you how to add custom and handle "click" event for it [something like "Save As Draft" !!!]
Here is what you do
1. Go to ControlTemplates under 12 hive folder [C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES]
2. Now create new ascx file under that folder [right click and create txt document then rename it to CustomToolBar.ascx]
3. Now locate "DefaultTemplates.ascx" file under same folder and search for following
4. Copy entire tag
<sharepoint:renderingtemplate id="ListForm" runat="server"> ........ All the text until......</sharepoint:renderingtemplate>
5. Now open the ascx file you created in step 2and paste the code you copied from "defaultTemplates.ascx" in step 4.
6. Now locate "sharepoint:savebutton" in your file. Now you can customize it for example: add Text="Save" so button Text changed from "Ok" to "Save" !!!
you can do the same for sharepoint:gobackbutton
