using some of the SPUtility Methods

HandleAccessDenied using

SPUtility.HandleAccessDenied(new AccessDeniedException("ACCESS DENIED"));
(or)
SPUtility.HandleAccessDenied(new Exception("You do not have access to this page."));


SendEmail using

SPUtility.SendEmail(webObj, false, false, "e-mail_address", "Web Discussion Report", Msg);

(or)

StringDictionary headers = new StringDictionary();

headers.add("to","reginald@myfatblog.co.uk");

headers.add("cc","thisiscopy@myfatblog.co.uk");

headers.add("bcc","thisistheblindcopy@myfatblog.co.uk");

headers.add("from","MySharePointEmail@myfatblog.co.uk");

headers.add("subject","How to use SendEMail from SPUtility");

headers.add("content-type","text/html"); //This is the default type, so isn't neccessary.

string bodyText ="This is the body of my email, in html format.";

SPUtility.SendEmail(web, headers, bodyText);

using GetFullUrl

Some SharePoint objects expose relative paths.

Relative paths can be converted to full Url by adding current server, site paths.

To convert a relative path to the full URL, you add the current server,

Rather than performing path manipulation, "GetFullUrl" method can be used.

Example- Get Full Url Of A SharePoint List

SPUtility.GetFullUrl(SPContext.Current.Site, listobj.DefaultDisplayFormUrl);

Example- Get Full Url Of A SharePoint ListItem

SPUtility.GetFullUrl(SPContext.Current.Site,"/"+ itemobj.Url);

Using GetListGuid

Guid id = SPUtility.GetListGuid(webObj,strListName);

Using Redirect

SPUtility.Redirect(“/MyFolder/MyPage.aspx”, SPRedirectFlags.RelativeToLayoutsPage, HttpContext.Current);

On SharePoint 2010 it will redirect tohttp://yoursite/_layouts/MyFolder/MyPage.aspx while on SharePoint 2013 it will redirect to http://yoursite/_layouts/15/MyFolder/MyPage.aspx. You see that in SharePoint 2013 the URL it contains the HIVE folder while in 2010 it doesn’t. Using the Redirect method with the RelativeToLayoutsPage option you don’t have to worry about that.

TransferToErrorPage and TransferToSuccessPage




SPUtility.TransferToErrorPage("Hi this is an Error Page {0}, {1}", "click here to Go to Top site", "{your_url}");

SPUtility.TransferToSuccessPage("Hi this is an Sucess Page");

Access SPList object using web.Lists or web.GetList

Accessing SPList Object using web.Lists method

                   SPList listObj = webObj.Lists["DataTypes"];
                    int itemcount = listObj.ItemCount;

Accessing SPList Object using web.GetList method            
                   
                    SPList listObj2 = webObj.GetList(webObj.ServerRelativeUrl.TrimEnd('/') + "/Lists/DataTypes");
                    int itemcount2 = listObj2.ItemCount;

Some times we may change the list name after creating the list. In that case web.Lists accessing method gives error. So better to adopt GetList method when accessing lists.
                   

which user using when using RunWithElevatedPrivileges in coding

Some times we are blindly using RunWithElevatedPrivileges in the code. But we should know what user context using when using that. Some times we are blindly thinking that if we wrap the code in elevated privileges, its running in app pool account. But its wrong.

Observe the below two code blocks.
In first code block user is App pool accont user, but in 2nd senario user is current logedin user. Even u wrap the code its using current login user because your using spcontext.

1. SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
            {
                using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://xrm:1234"))
                {
                    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                    {
                        SPUser user = web.CurrentUser;
                        string username = user.LoginName;
                   }
                }
             });


2. SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
            {
                    SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.ID);
                    SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
                    SPUser user2 = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser;
                    string currentUser2 = user2.LoginName;
            });

Find the Number of Users Currently Connected to SharePoint Site

Had to perform an unplanned IIS Reset to fix an issue in production SharePoint Farm. But executing IISReset breaks ongoing user sessions and give "Service Unavailable" error message, isn't it? Wouldn't it be a good idea to find the No. of users currently connected with the SharePoint site and do the IISReset for a minimal impact? Sure!

How to find how many users connected with SharePoint sites? use Performance Monitor!

• Go to Start >> Run >> Type "Perfmon", to fire up Performance Monitor.
• Click on "Performance Monitor" , Right click "Add Counters" in Graph window
• Under the available Counters, Pick "Web Service" expand the node and select "Current Connections"
• Under "Instances of Selected object" You can either select "Total" or pick a particular web application
• Click on Add button to add the selected counter, and click "OK" button

Now the graph will show the how many users connected to your SharePoint Site(s).

Please not, this gives only the no of user sessions currently ongoing. But not the one already completed (Doesn't count the users already opened the site and left it idle!) There are possibilities that users may hit the SharePoint URL meanwhile and receive "Service Unavailable" message since IIS is reset!
