Document Library “Open with Explorer” from custom WebPart

Today, some one posted in MSDN forums a question regarding, opening the pre defined document library in an Explorer mode from the custom WebPart.


Option, which is available with the ribbon menu of the library.


This can be achieved using below, by using the NavigateHttpFolder function in the core.js

NavigateHttpFolder('http:\u002f\u002fServerName:portno\u002fsitename\u002fdoclibraryname','_blank');

This method takes hex encoded URL and frameTarget as the parameters.
It worked for SharePoint 2010 and MOSS 2007 in IE8 and Firefox browsers.

Finally, thanks Microsoft for this recognition.

The referenced assembly "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime" could not be resolved..

Error:
The referenced assembly "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime" could not be resolved because it has a dependency on "System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" which is not in the currently targeted framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client". Please remove references to assemblies not in the targeted framework or consider retargeting your project.

Fix:
When you get the above error, it means that in your project your pointing to .net framework 4.0 and its not installed in your machine. Now, change the project properties to point out available framework in your machine.

This is what you call motivation !!!

 

Folks!, don’t be stereotypic come out of your boundaries. Think beyond, apply science in management.
