In Sharepoint how can you copy a list item from one list to another list
eg copy from "List A" to "List B" (both are at the root of the site)
I want this copying to occur when a new list item is added to "List A"
I tried using the CopyTo() method of an SPListItem inside the ItemAdded event receiver but couldnt figure out the url to copy to.
Here is the code I use. Pass it a SPlistItem and the name of the destination list as seen in Sharepoint(Not the URL). The only restriction is that both list must be in the same site:
private SPListItem CopyItem(SPListItem sourceItem, string destinationListName) {
//Copy sourceItem to destinationList
SPList destinationList = sourceItem.Web.Lists[destinationListName];
SPListItem targetItem = destinationList.Items.Add();
foreach (SPField f in sourceItem.Fields) {
//Copy all except attachments.
if (!f.ReadOnlyField && f.InternalName != "Attachments"
&& null != sourceItem[f.InternalName])
{
targetItem[f.InternalName] = sourceItem[f.InternalName];
}
}
//Copy attachments
foreach (string fileName in sourceItem.Attachments) {
SPFile file = sourceItem.ParentList.ParentWeb.GetFile(sourceItem.Attachments.UrlPrefix + fileName);
byte[] imageData = file.OpenBinary();
targetItem.Attachments.Add(fileName, imageData);
}
return targetItem;
}
Indeed as Lars said, it can be tricky to move items and retain versions and correct userinfo. I have done similar things with that before so if you need some code examples, let me know through a comment and can supply you with some guidance.
The CopyTo method (if you decide to go with that) need an absolute Uri like:
http://host/site/web/list/filename.doc
So, if you are performing this in an event receiver you need to concatinate a string containing the elements needed. Something like (note that this can be done in other ways to):
string dest=
siteCollection.Url + "/" + site.Name + list.Name + item.File.Name;
Copying and moving files, items and folders in SharePoint can be tricky if you want to retain all metadata, timestamps, author info and version history. Take a look a CopyMove for SharePoint - it also has a Web Service API.
There's many tools on the market for copying a list item to another list (avepoint, metavis, etc.) but they are pretty expensive if you're planning to do this on only one list.
If you can do this manually once a week for example, look at the following tool : http://en.share-gate.com/sharepoint-tools/copy-move-sharepoint-list-items-with-metadata-and-version-history
Here is a powershell equivalent of Sylvian's that does allow for cross-site copy. His code could be modified similarly as well...
param([string]$sourceWebUrl, [string]$sourceListName, [string]$destWebUrl, [string]$destListName)
$sourceWeb = get-spweb $sourceWebUrl;
$sourceList = $sourceWeb.Lists[$sourceListName];
$destWeb = get-spweb $destWebUrl;
$destList = $destWeb.Lists[$destListName];
$sourceList.Items |%{
$destItem = $destList.Items.Add();
$sourceItem = $_;
$sourceItem.Fields |%{
$f = $_;
if($f.ReadOnlyField -eq $false -and $f.InternalName -ne "Attachments" -and $sourceItem[$f.InternalName] -ne $null){
$destItem[$f.InternalName] = $sourceItem[$f.InternalName];
}
}
$destItem.Update();
}
To use, copy and past to a file copy-listitems.ps1 and run using Sharpoint powerhsell commandline...
Make sure you call CopyTo(url) method on SPFile, not on SPListItem.
for example:
ItemUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
{
//...
string url = properties.Web.Site.Url + "/" + properties.Web.Name + "Lists/ListName/" + properties.ListItem.File.Name;
//properties.ListItem.File.MoveTo(url);
properties.ListItem.File.CopyTo(url);
//...
}
private void CopyAttachmentsToList(SPListItem srcItem, SPListItem tgtItem)
{
try
{
//get source item attachments from the folder
SPFolder srcAttachmentsFolder =
srcItem.Web.Folders["Lists"].SubFolders[srcItem.ParentList.Title].SubFolders["Attachments"].SubFolders[srcItem.ID.ToString()];
//Add items to the target item
foreach (SPFile file in srcAttachmentsFolder.Files)
{
byte[] binFile = file.OpenBinary();
tgtItem.Update();
tgtItem.Attachments.AddNow(file.Name, binFile);
tgtItem.Update();
}
}
catch
{
//exception message goes here
}
finally
{
srcItem.Web.Dispose();
}
}
Don't forget to add this line, tgtItem.Update();, else you will get an err.
So, the lists have the exact same or similar columns? Either way, you could create a simple workflow that runs automatically when an item is created in "List A". Since the workflow in question is relatively simple, I'd recommend using SharePoint Designer (which is free) to create it, since you can easily match up the columns from the two lists. The walk through below should be able to help you get started.
Create a Workflow - SharePoint Designer
I had the same problem.
After experimenting a bit instead of
targetItem[f.InternalName] = sourceItem[f.InternalName];
I used:
targetItem[childField.Title] = sourceItem[parentField.Title];
How to copy field and save versions:
public static SPListItem CopyItem(SPListItem sourceItem, SPList destinationList)
{
SPListItem targetItem = destinationList.AddItem();
//loop over the soureitem, restore it
for (int i = sourceItem.Versions.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
//set the values into the archive
foreach (SPField sourceField in sourceItem.Fields)
{
SPListItemVersion version = sourceItem.Versions[i];
if ((!sourceField.ReadOnlyField) && (sourceField.InternalName != "Attachments"))
{
SetFields(targetItem, sourceField, version);
}
}
//update the archive item and
//loop over the the next version
targetItem.Update();
}
foreach (string fileName in sourceItem.Attachments)
{
SPFile file = sourceItem.ParentList.ParentWeb.GetFile(sourceItem.Attachments.UrlPrefix + fileName);
targetItem.Attachments.Add(fileName, file.OpenBinary());
}
targetItem.SystemUpdate();
return targetItem;
}
private static bool SetFields(SPListItem targetItem, SPField sourceField, SPListItemVersion version)
{
try
{
targetItem[sourceField.InternalName] = version.ListItem[sourceField.InternalName];
return true;
}
catch (System.ArgumentException)//field not filled
{
return false;
}
catch (SPException)//field not filled
{
return false;
}
}
Copy List Items from one SharePoint List or library to Another SharePoint list or library using c# server side code
//Itecollection is a collection of data from source list
public void CopyItemsFromOneListToAnotherList(SPListItemCollection itemCollection)
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteUrl))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
//Get destination list/library
//destListName - Destination list/library name
SPList destList = web.Lists.TryGetList(destListName);
foreach (SPListItem sourceItem in itemCollection)
{
//Add new Item to list
SPListItem destItem = destList.Items.Add();
foreach (SPField field in sourceItem.Fields)
{
if (!field.ReadOnlyField && !field.Hidden && field.InternalName != "Attachments")
{
if (destItem.Fields.ContainsField(field.InternalName))
{
//Copy item to destination library
destItem[field.InternalName] = sourceItem[field.InternalName];
}
}
}
//Update item in destination library or list
destItem.Update();
Console.WriteLine("Copied " + sourceItem["ID"] + "to destination list/library");

Following my previous question
When I fetch Playlists in iTunes library I get some entries which seems to be default playlists for iTunes
Here is my code:
App = new iTunesAppClass();
IITSourceCollection sources = App.Sources;
foreach (IITSource src in sources)
{
if (src.Name == "Library")
{
IITPlaylistCollection pls = src.Playlists;
foreach (IITPlaylist pl in pls)
{
// add pl.Name to a List<string> and them show them on TreeView
}
}
}
This is the result:
You see that I have created a playlist named "Music". There is also a default entry named "Music". How can I differentiate these two playlist ? Is there any property in iTunesLib which says which one is the default one and which is the one I have created?
Using Kind and SpecialKind properties, I was able to implement a solution:
App = new iTunesAppClass();
IITSourceCollection sources = App.Sources;
foreach (IITSource src in sources)
{
if (src.Name == "Library")
{
IITPlaylistCollection pls = src.Playlists;
foreach (IITPlaylist pl in pls)
{
/* here is the trick */
if (p is IITUserPlaylist)
{
var upl = (IITUserPlaylist)p;
if (upl.SpecialKind != ITUserPlaylistSpecialKind.ITUserPlaylistSpecialKindNone)
continue;
}
/* and this one */
if (p.Kind == ITPlaylistKind.ITPlaylistKindLibrary)
continue;
// add pl.Name to a List<string> and them show them on TreeView
}
}
}
I´m working on a project that uses Caliburn micro in wpf C#.
I´m in the process that I want to rewrite my method ReadMediaFile() so it displays all files in a folder in a list.
My method looks lite this:
private void ReadMediaFile()
{
string result;
_movieviewmodel = new MoviesViewModel();
string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(#"C:/Users/v80770/Desktop/Movies/");
foreach (var file in filePaths)
{
result = Path.GetFileName(file);
_movieviewmodel.MovieName = result;
}
AddItem(_movieviewmodel);
}
When I debug the program all the files show in filePaths but only one shows in my list.
The AddItem is located in a class called TreeViewBase (belongs to caliburn micro I think) and it looks like this:
public void AddItem(T item)
{
_dispatcher.SmartInvoke(() => Items.Add(item));
}
I got the movie files viewing in my list but my MediaUri binding in view is bind against a specific path file but I want it to change dependent on what I choose
I tried to edit the binding to this:
string test = _movieviewmodel.MovieName;
MediaUri = new Uri(test);
But only get a exception "System.UriFormatException: 'Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.'"
Picture of Uri
New Uri code:
_movieviewmodel.MovieFilePath = #"C:/Users/v80770/Desktop/Movies/";
string test = _movieviewmodel.MovieFilePath;
MediaUri = new Uri(test + _movieviewmodel.MovieName);
But it always shows the same movie and my _movieviewmodel.MovieName does not change name dependent which movie I choose, it always is the same movie.
The creation of a MoviesViewModel item object and AddItem(_movieviewmodel); must be inside foreach, otherwise it would add only the last item:
foreach (var file in filePaths)
{
var movieviewmodel = new MoviesViewModel();
movieviewmodel.MovieName = Path.GetFileName(file);
AddItem(movieviewmodel);
}
or
foreach (var file in filePaths)
{
AddItem(new MoviesViewModel
{
MovieName = Path.GetFileName(file)
});
}
We have a large public contacts folder in Outlook called Global Contacts, I'd like to be able to search through it and return a number of results that match certain criteria, ideally wildcard-style.
E.g. if someone puts "je" in the 'name' textbox, it will return all contacts whose names contain 'je'. This may be coupled as an AND with a companyname textbox.
Most of the examples I've seen are either in VB, or are concerned with doing this form a web app - I'm doing a winforms app, and every machine has Outlook 2002 installed (yeah, I know, update long overdue).
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Some code would be nice as a place to start.
Cheers
I ended up doing this:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Application objOutlook; //declare Outlook application
objOutlook = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application(); //create it
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._NameSpace objNS = objOutlook.Session; //create new session
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder oAllPublicFolders; //what it says on the tin
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder oPublicFolders; // as above
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder objContacts; //as above
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Items itmsFiltered; //the filtered items list
oPublicFolders = objNS.Folders["Public Folders"];
oAllPublicFolders = oPublicFolders.Folders["All Public Folders"];
objContacts = oAllPublicFolders.Folders["Global Contacts"];
itmsFiltered = objContacts.Items.Restrict(strFilter);//restrict the search to our filter terms
Then just looping through itmsFiltered to add it to an ObjectListView. Hopefully this will be of use to someone else looking to do the same - it took me a while to cobble this together from various sources.
to find contacts folder you can iterate items of olFolderContacts. Here is the code
using System;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
using Application = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application;
namespace RyanCore
{
public class Loader
{
public static ContactsViewModel LoadModel(Application objOutlook)
{
var viewModel = new ContactsViewModel();
MAPIFolder fldContacts = objOutlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts);
foreach (object obj in fldContacts.Items)
{
if (obj is _ContactItem)
{
var contact = (_ContactItem) obj;
viewModel.Contacts.Add(new Contact(contact.FirstName + " " + contact.LastName, contact.Email1Address));
}
else if (obj is DistListItem)
{
var distListItem = (DistListItem) obj;
var contactGroup = new ContactGroup(distListItem.Subject);
viewModel.Groups.Add(contactGroup);
for (Int32 i = 1; i <= distListItem.MemberCount; i++)
{
Recipient subMember = distListItem.GetMember(i);
contactGroup.Contacts.Add(new Contact(subMember.Name, subMember.AddressEntry.Address));
}
}
}
return viewModel;
}
}
}
In sharepoint how can you check in an SPListItem?
See on MSDN: SPListItem.File.CheckIn();
For example:
SPFile file = item.File;
if (file.CheckOutStatus != SPFile.SPCheckOutStatus.None)
{
file.CheckIn("Reason for check in.", SPCheckinType.MajorCheckIn);
}
The optional second parameter allows specification of either minor, major or overwrite check in via the SPCheckinType enumeration.
Great response, however in 2010, CheckOutStatus is declining - use SPCheckOutType instead. You might also want to Approve the item as well - for example:
SPList MyLib = TheWeb.Lists["MyLibrary"];
if (MyLib != null)
{
if (MyLib.Items.Count > 0)
{
foreach(SPListItem AnItem in MyLib.Items)
{
SPFile TheFile = AnItem.File;
if (TheFile.CheckOutType != SPFile.SPCheckOutType.None)
{
TheFile.CheckIn("Check in comment", SPCheckinType.MajorCheckIn);
TheFile.Approve("Approval comment");
}
}
}

I am playing around with a SharePoint server and I am trying to programmatically add a service request to microsoft's call center application template. So far, I have had pretty good success. I can add a call for a specified customer and assign a specific support tech:
private enum FieldNames
{
[EnumExtension.Value("Service Request")]
ServiceRequest,
[EnumExtension.Value("Customer")]
Customer,
[EnumExtension.Value("Service Representative")]
ServiceRepresentative,
[EnumExtension.Value("Assigned To")]
AssignedTo,
[EnumExtension.Value("Software")]
Software,
[EnumExtension.Value("Category")]
Category
}
private void CreateServiceCall(string serviceCallTitle, string customerName, string serviceRep)
{
SPSite allSites = new SPSite(siteURL);
SPWeb site = allSites.AllWebs[siteName];
SPListItemCollection requestsList = site.Lists[serviceRequests].Items;
SPListItem item = requestsList.Add();
SPFieldLookup customerLookup = item.Fields[FieldNames.Customer.Value()] as SPFieldLookup;
item[FieldNames.ServiceRequest.Value()] = serviceCallTitle;
if (customerLookup != null)
{
using (SPWeb lookupWeb = allSites.OpenWeb(customerLookup.LookupWebId))
{
SPList lookupList = lookupWeb.Lists.GetList(new Guid(customerLookup.LookupList), false);
foreach (SPListItem listItem in lookupList.Items)
{
if (listItem[customerLookup.LookupField].ToString() != customerName) continue;
item[FieldNames.Customer.Value()] = new SPFieldLookupValue(listItem.ID, customerName);
break;
}
}
}
SPUserCollection userCollection = site.SiteUsers;
if (userCollection != null)
{
foreach (SPUser user in userCollection)
{
if (user.Name != serviceRep) continue;
item[FieldNames.AssignedTo.Value()] = user;
break;
}
}
item.Update();
site.Close();
allSites.Close();
}
I added two custom columns (category, software) to the default list:
I populated both of these columns inside of SharePoint, now I want to retrieve that data so I can use it in the code snippet I posted to assign the proper category/software etc to the call. I have not been able to get the list in the code, I have tried using a item["Software"], site.Lists["Software"] and a couple of others, but so far all I have come up is null.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for this? Thanks!
SPFieldMultiChoice and related fields have a Choices property:
SPFieldMultiChoice software = item.Fields[FieldNames.Software.Value()] as SPFieldMultiChoice;
StringCollection softwareChoices = software.Choices;
If you need to set a value on the field, use the SPFieldMultiChoiceValue type:
SPFieldMultiChoiceValue values = new SPFieldMultiChoiceValue();
values.Add("Choice 1");
values.Add("Choice 2");
item[FieldNames.Software.Value()] = values;
