I had the occasion to need to figure out accessing the Managed Metadata Store using the new client object model libraries for SharePoint 2013. In snooping around, I found virtually no documentation on this topic whatsoever, other than generic boilerplate class definitions that have been clearly emitted...

I've had this question from a few people and never had a chance to track down the answer until today. I've written a few times already about query rules and how awesome they are: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Search/en-US?query=%22query%20rules%22&beta=0&rn=Share-n-dipity&rq=site:blogs...

Just the subject line of this post is a mouthful, if it’s any indication of what we’re going to be covering today. This post is going to address an issue that has long bothered myself and others. I just recently started asking around about it and then coincidentally got an email from someone...

This is a companion posting to my blog about how to use the client OM with a site that is secured with FBA (http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2010/06/03/using-the-client-object-model-with-a-forms-based-auth-site-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx). First let me just say, this was hard! Like probably...

One of the questions I’ve seen a few times since my “mega-posting” on the client object model, is how to use it with a SharePoint site that is secured with forms based authentication. There are actually a couple of ways you could do this. The more complicated approach that I won’t...

SharePoint 2010 introduces a new client side object model (hereafter referred to as the “client OM”) for retrieving data. It supports a subset of functionality contained in the server side object model, but generally speaking gives you ready access to the data in your SharePoint site using standard object...

In the first two parts of this posting I described the pattern you can use to retrieve data with the client object model (“client OM”). I showed how to use the same pattern to retrieve both a set of lists, as well as data contained within a single list. In this post we’ll talk about ways that we can...

In part 1 of this post, I described some general features of the new client object model (“client OM”) that is included with SharePoint 2010. I also walked through a pattern for retrieving a collection of all of the lists in a web using that object model. In this posting, we’ll extend our example further...

In the first three parts of this series we’ve gone through quite a bit of code that shows how to retrieve data from lists. In this post, we’re going to show how to actually create a list and manage fields. In the client object model you’ll see a familiar naming pattern of “someobjectCreationInformation...

The previous posts in this series have been pretty list-centric. In this posting we’re going to delve down a different path in exploring the client object model and talk about security. The client OM actually provides great support for working with the security model in SharePoint. You can do everything...

Time to wrap up this series and we’re going to mostly talk about managing web parts using the client object model. First, however, we’re going to take a quick peek at something else you can do, which is create additional Edit Control Block (ECB) menu items. Yes, you can even create ECB items from the...
