A Simple AJAX App using SharePoint Web Services
March 14th, 2010
In this era of Web 2.0 web applications, I think it was only a matter of time before I needed to investigate how I could apply AJAX to SharePoint. With a little JavaScript and SharePoint’s web services, you can build fancy apps that can easily be dropped into a document library. And after reading Glen Cooper’s blog post on the subject, I figured it was something definitely worth investigating.
I also took this opportunity to improve a process I have to do all the time: what are the internal column names in a list? To get the list information, I built a simple AJAX app that consumes the Lists.asmx web service. Please keep in mind that this code will have be uploaded into SharePoint in order to work (a document library will work) and will not run from your desktop.

Original Post:
This post builds off of my previous post about making fields read only. In this case, I needed to autopopulate the NewForm.aspx with a value that gets passed to the form via URL parameters.
Editing in SharePoint’s SPGridView
February 18th, 2010
The goal of this post is to provide an easy to understand example of how to enable editing in an SPGridView. In this case, my datasource of choice is a SharePoint list.
The way that I chose to implement editing in an SPGridView involved two classes:
- SimpleLogic – handles query and update operations
- SimpleSPGrid – handles all of the setup for the ObjectDataSource and the SPGridView
The main advantage for splitting the two classes is to separate all of the business logic into one class. Ideally, you should be able to completely change how the SimpleLogic class retrieves/updates data without changing the SimpleSPGrid code.
