Creating .Excel File from a DatagridVIew

In order to fetch all the data from the grid view and create a .xls file of the data, use the following code .

private void CreateXLS()
{
DataTable dt = (DataTable)dgSearch .DataSource;
dt.WriteXml(@"C:\ABC.xls",System.Data.XmlWriteMode.IgnoreSchema);
dt.Dispose();
}


In case you get an error while converting the dgsearch.datasource to Datatable, convert the dgsearch.datasource to dataview and by using the property of dataview ie "Totable" convert it to datatable

SharePoint 2010 Migration Woes: Importing and exporting lists template between different SP2010 Servers

Image
Migrations of SharePoint contents from one server to another can be a big PITA. Once I came across a  scenario  where I had to export a couple of lists from SharePoint online i.e. Office 365 to the SharePoint 2010 on my local server.  What I did is to copy the required lists along with content by creating a list template i.e. via .stp file. Then I upload it to my local SharePoint 2010 server's list template gallery. Later I  successfully  created a new list with the uploaded template.

This template can be viewed in Site Action -> Site Setting -> Galleries ->List Template. Select the list template and then from ...

Per-user throttling in SharePoint Online: a Recipe for getting blocked in SharePoint Online and way to Avoid it

Suppose you have a CSOM or REST API based code that connects with your SharePoint online Site.  This code tends to update several fields including metadata of a number of files in a document library in complex manner.  Or  Try, for instance, creating site collection in Pnp Powershell using "New-SPOSite" serveral times.  Or  Someone decides to Load test SharePoint Online site.  These are some of the use cases as well which you can can find on Miscrosoft documentation given in the rederence below.  Now you will notice, if you run into aforementioned situation, at certain point that SharePoint Online will return HTTP status code 429 i.e. Too many requests or 503 i.e. Server Too Busy (an HTTP response status 503 on Windows server means Service Unavailable.) and requests will result in failure. Furthermore, if one continues with one's transgressions i.e. keeps on running the script, as warned by Microsoft, the script will eventually exceed it...

Powershell: Filling up an Existing Excel Sheet with data from SQL Server

Situation: The client required to have data from their SQL Server 2012 Database filled in to an existing Excel Sheet. This sheet had a table with around 40 columns of which 12 where to be filled by us and rest from different departments. I tried different solution for that since the requirements were not initially clear. Forexample OPENROWSET was tried. In this regards this link really helpful. Although this requires few configuration to be made on the server or to install e.g. ACE.OLEDB driver on server which was not possible in our case. So we decided to write a Powershell script and access SQL Now about the script: Take the file TestExcel.xlsx from C:\Temp folder Create its copy with the current date appended to its name.  Start reading the Excel file from Sheet "Specified Sheet Name" From Columns 1, it will take the name of the system.  Based on the name fill the excel sheet by executing the queries, here are the columns that are going to ...
