I have a file folder in my FTP server and I want to fill a ComboBox with the contents inside of that folder. How would I go about doing this?
string result = string.Empty;
//Request location and server name---------->
FtpWebRequest request =
(FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://*******" +"/" + "Products" + "/");
//Lists directory
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory;
// set credentials
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user1","1234");
//initialize response
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
//reader to read response
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
combobox1.Text = FTP_Server();
//data from file.
result = reader.ReadToEnd();
reader.Close();
response.Close();
Thanks! I didn't know if this was even possible!
Read the listing by lines:
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://example.com/remote/path/");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
comboBox1.BeginUpdate();
try
{
using (FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
while (!reader.EndOfStream)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(reader.ReadLine());
}
}
}
finally
{
comboBox1.EndUpdate();
}
Downloading whole listing to a string and splitting it afterwards (as suggested by the other answer) can be pretty ineffective, if there's lot of entries.
Without knowing the exact format of your response string, my instinct would be to split the response string:
string files[] = result.Split("\r\n");
Then to iterate over the individual files, adding them to your combobox1's Items:
// Depending on how many items you're adding, you may wish to prevent a repaint until the operation is finished
combobox1.BeginUpdate();
foreach(string file in files)
{
combobox1.Items.Add(file);
}
combobox1.EndUpdate();
That should take care of it for you! There is some excellent (and exhaustive) documentation on MSDN as well, which will often contain some usage examples to help you out further: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.combobox(v=vs.110).aspx#Examples
Note that, if you end up wanting to display information from a different FTP response, you'll have to clear the combobox1 like so first: combobox1.Items.Clear();
I have a string that uses JsonTextWriter to create a JSON formatted-string. How do I interact with it if I want to store it in an Azure website? I was thinking of using an httpWebRequest like
string webAddr = "http://{url to website}/test.json";
HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(webAddr);
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
StringWriter strwriter = new StringWriter();
JsonTextWriter writer = new JsonTextWriter(strwriter);
writer.WriteStartObject();
writer.WritePropertyName("id");
writer.WriteValue(v.id);
writer.WriteEndObject();
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = strwriter.ToString();
streamWriter.Write(json);
}
But I can't seem to figure out how to actually post the JSON to a file. Am I missing anything?
I think that it would be fine to store on the local storage of the VM/website to avoid a CORS issue, unless there is something that Blob storage would benefit over local storage.
You're part way there, next you need to actually dispatch the request:
HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
And you can read through the returned body (if required):
using (httpWebResponse)
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream());
string response_body = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
Assuming you just wanted to dump the body to the file system (for arguments sake):
using (httpWebResponse)
{
...
using (var file = new FileStream("some\path\to\file.json",FileMode.Create,FileAccess.Write,FileShare.None))
{
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(file,Encoding.UTF8);
writer.Write(response_body);
writer.Flush();
}
}
However this won't work for non VM websites, for that you'd probably have to shun the file off to blob storage.
I have tried both WebClient's DownloadSring and WebRequest+Stream to try and scrape a page (This one) and get the Raw Paste data from it. I have scoured the net but have found no answers.
I have this code:
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=" + textBox1.Text);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Stream data = response.GetResponseStream();
string pasteContent = "";
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(data))
{
pasteContent = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
new Note().txtMain.Text += pasteContent;
new Note().txtMain.Refresh();
and I have multiple forms so I am editing Note's txtMain textbox to add the paste content but it seems to return nothing, no matter which function I use. I know cross-form editing works because I have multiple things that can return to it.
How can I scrape the raw data?
Thank you VERY much,
P
There is no problem in downloading the content of your site. You simply doesn't use the instance of the Node class you created.
var note = new Note();
note.txtMain.Text += pasteContent;
note.Show();
I want to generate html content based on a result returned by http url.
http://www.zillow.com/webservice/GetDeepSearchResults.htm?zws-id=X1-ZWz1c239bjatxn_5taq0&address=2114+Bigelow+Ave&citystatezip=Seattle%2C+WA
This page will give you some XML results. I want to convert to use that XML to generate HTML. I am not getting any idea where to start? Would someone offer any guidelines or sample code for asp.net?
For details: http://www.zillow.com/howto/api/GetDeepSearchResults.htm
To fetch the data you can use the HttpWebRequest class, this is an example I have to hand but it may be slightly overdone for your needs (and you need to make sure you're doing the right thing - I suspect the above to be a GET rather than a POST).
Uri baseUri = new Uri(this.RemoteServer);
HttpWebRequest rq = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(new Uri(baseUri, action));
rq.Method = "POST";
rq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
rq.Accept = "text/xml";
rq.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;
Encoding encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("UTF-8");
byte[] chars = encoding.GetBytes(body);
rq.ContentLength = chars.Length;
using (Stream stream = rq.GetRequestStream())
{
stream.Write(chars, 0, chars.Length);
stream.Close();
}
XDocument doc;
WebResponse rs = rq.GetResponse();
using (Stream stream = rs.GetResponseStream())
{
using (XmlTextReader tr = new XmlTextReader(stream))
{
doc = XDocument.Load(tr);
responseXml = doc.Root;
}
if (responseXml == null)
{
throw new Exception("No response");
}
}
return responseXml;
Once you've got the data back you need to render HTML, lots and lots of choices - if you just want to convert what you've got into HTML with minimal further processing then you can use XSLT - which is a question all on its own. If you need to do stuff with it then the question is too vague and you'll need to be more specific.
Create a xsl stylesheet, and inject the stylesheet element into the resulting xml from teh page
I am writting a winforms c# 2.0 application that needs to put an XML file into a document library on SharePoint.
I want to use a WebService instead of using the object model (no sharepoint.dll to reference here)
I am currently using the http://webserver/site/_vti_bin/copy.asmx webservice.
Here is some code:
byte[] xmlByteArray;
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
xmlDocument.Save(memoryStream);
xmlBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
}
string[] destinationUrlArray = new string[] {"http://webserver/site/Doclib/UploadedDocument.xml"};
FieldInformation fieldInfo = new FieldInformation();
FieldInformation[] fields = { fieldInfo };
CopyResult[] resultsArray;
using (Copy copyService = new Copy())
{
copyService.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
copyService.Url = "http://webserver/site/_vti_bin/copy.asmx";
copyService.Timeout = 600000;
uint documentId = copyService.CopyIntoItems("", destinationUrlArray, fields, xmlByteArray, out resultsArray);
}
When this code runs, I get a single result in the resultsArray out parameter:
DestinationURL: "http://webserver/site/Doclib/UploadedDocument.xml"
ErrorCode: UnKnown
ErrorMessage: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
From my searching, I have found a couple of possible helps.
Microsoft TechNet -- "The copy.asmx copyintoitems will only work if the source and destination urls are in the same SPWebApplication (Site Collection)."
Microsoft Social -- "Object reference not set to an instance of an object
error occurs because of SharePoint not able to identified that particular property."
This leads me to believe my source url should be set to something, but what? This is originating from a client workstation and does not have a source URL.
Any help would be appricated.
hank you,
Keith
I know this is an old thread but it kept coming up as I was searching for a solution to the same problem.
Check Steve Curran's answer on this thread http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-SG/sharepointdevelopment/thread/833e38a8-f13c-490d-8ba7-b889b6b25e38. Looks like Basically the request fails because the destination url can't be resolved.

SharePoint responds to a plain old HTTP PUT
Here is what is currently working:
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(“http://webserver/site/Doclib/UploadedDocument.xml”);
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
request.Method = "PUT";
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
using (Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
dataFile.MMRXmlData.Save(memoryStream);
memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
for (int i = memoryStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); i > 0;
i = memoryStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length))
{
stream.Write(buffer, 0, i);
}
}
}
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
response.Close();
So... Does anyone have an opinion as to if this "PUT" method is better in the SharePoint environment than using a built-in webservice?
Right now I would have to say the "PUT" method is better since it works and I could not get the WebService to work.
Keith
your code is fine, just use the destination url instead of an empty string. See below:
byte[] xmlByteArray;
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
xmlDocument.Save(memoryStream);
xmlBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
}
string destinationUrl = “http://webserver/site/Doclib/UploadedDocument.xml”
string[] destinationUrlArray = new string[] { destinationUrl };
FieldInformation fieldInfo = new FieldInformation();
FieldInformation[] fields = { fieldInfo };
CopyResult[] resultsArray;
using (Copy copyService = new Copy())
{
copyService.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
copyService.Url = "http://webserver/site/_vti_bin/copy.asmx";
copyService.Timeout = 600000;
uint documentId = copyService.CopyIntoItems(destinationUrl , destinationUrlArray, fields, xmlByteArray, out resultsArray);
}
I get the same message when I use the default credentials.
Try replacing them with this:
copyWebService.Credentials
= new NetworkCredential("Administrator", "pass", "MyDomain");
Here's some code I wrote awhile (i apologize, i've had to piece meal it together, but hopefully you get the point of it)
// Create a request using a URL that can receive a post.
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://sharepointsite/somefile.txt");
// Set the Method property of the request to POST.
request.Method = "PUT"
Stream dataStream;
// Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; charset=ISO-8859-1";
byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(#"c:\somefile.txt");
// Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
// Get the request stream.
dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
// Write the data to the request stream.
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
// Close the Stream object.
dataStream.Close();
// Get the response.
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
HttpStatusCode statCode = response.StatusCode;
// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
// Read the content.
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
// Clean up the streams.
reader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
response.Close();
I'm not sure if it will solve your problem but, when you reference the webservice, don't use the [site] part of the URL.
Try instead: http://[server]/_vti_bin/[webservice].
I'm not an expert in SP but I'm pretty sure the webservices belongs to the main server, not to an especific site.
Hope it helps.
I had a similiar problem, it turned out that the the client was configured to use NTLM security, but no NTLM header was attached.
I my case, becuase of the fact that I was using this code on the server-side of an ASP.NET applicaton, was to enable Windows authentication and set
identity impersonate="true"
in the server.web section.
if your sharepoint server is built on a farm,
Check your "Alternate Access Mapping" see if there is an entry:
yourwebserverurl intranet yourwebserverurl
if not, add it.
for my case, after adding this, the Copy service start working.
It probably due to farm load balance address resolve related.
I don't get it, why are you using Copy rather then UpdateListItems. Perhaps UpdateListItems will be a better match?
