Event Sink Problem Getting Closer

Asked By: Srikant Hebbar Date: Jan 04, 2006 Category: Sharepoint Views: 262

Using a recommendation from Paul Schaeflein, http://www.schaeflein.net/blog/ , I am able to get the boolean fields from an InfoPath Form. Now my problem is writing the Event to an Event list. After rerading one of Todd Bleeker's post, I creeated a web application to add an Event Item to the list and I added code to set AllowUnsafeUpdates to True as shown below:

Dim site As SPSite = SPControl.GetContextSite(context)
Dim sWeb As SPWeb = site.AllWebs("/sites/Facilities")

Dim destList As SPList = site.AllWebs("/sites/Facilities").Lists("Current Facilities Schedule")

Dim listItems As SPListItemCollection = destList.Items

sWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = True
site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = True

Trace.Warn("site URL: " & site.Url)

Trace.Warn("sWeb URL: " & sWeb.Url)

Trace.Warn("site Get: " & site.AllowUnsafeUpdates)

Trace.Warn("sWeb Get: " & sWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates)

Dim newItem As SPListItem = listItems.Add()

sBegin_date = "12/15/2005"

stitle = "Event Test #" & Now()

sEnd_Date = "12/16/2005"

sRoom_resource = "1735 Conference Room"

sActivity_Type = "Meeting"

newItem("ID") = -1

newItem("fRecurrence") = 0

newItem("Title") = stitle

newItem("Begin") = sBegin_date

newItem("End") = sEnd_Date newItem("Room Resource") = sRoom_resource

newItem("Activity Type") = sActivity_Type

newItem("Approval Status") = 2 'Pending

newItem.Update()

When I run the web app, I get the following error:

site URL: http://.......................... 0.046588 0.033287
sWeb URL: http://..................../sites/Facilities 0.066538 0.019949
site Get: True 0.066639 0.000102
sWeb Get: True 0.066675 0.000036
Unhandled Execution Error
Updates are currently disallowed on GET requests. To allow updates on a GET, set the 'AllowUnsafeUpdates' property on SPWeb.

at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.Update()
Any Ideas on how to fix the problem????

Do you set of AllowUnsafeUpdates immediately after getting the object. Don’t continue to reference from the site. Even though many of the SharePoint objects expose collections – they aren’t really collections.

If you do “(site.AllWebs(“/test”) == site.AllWebs(“/test”))” you’ll get back false… So do your site, get your web, set the AllowUnsafeUpdates on it, get your lists from it… you should be all set from there.

Still no luck. I moved the statements but still get the error. I have tried vreating a custom .config file per the wssdk, bu tstill no luck.

Did you continue to reference the list like … site.AllWebs(“/blah”).Lists[“MyListName”] … That won’t work.

Yes. How should the list be referenced???
