Introduction

Today, in this article let's play around with one of the interesting and most useful concept in SharePoint 2010.

Question: What is ClientOMInsert?

In simple terms "To insert the data from client side environment to SharePoint applications, this is used".

Step 1: Open Visual Studio 2012 and select "ASP.Net Web Forms Application", as in:

Now two references are needed to add to the application; they are:

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime

Step 2: The complete code of webform1.aspx looks like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="ClientOMInsert.WebForm1" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

</head>

<body>

<div>

<tr>

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Client Object Model Insertion - SharePoint 2010 Programatically"

Font-Bold="true" Font-Size="Large" Font-Names="Verdana" ForeColor="Maroon"></asp:Label>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>

<asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text="Please Enter List Name" Font-Size="Large"

Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Italic="true"></asp:Label>

</td>

<td>

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox4" runat="server" Width="117px"></asp:TextBox>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>

<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Please Enter First Name" Font-Size="Large"

Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Italic="true"></asp:Label>

<asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text="Please Enter Last Name" Font-Size="Large"

Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Italic="true"></asp:Label>

</td>

<td>

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Width="117px"></asp:TextBox>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>

<asp:Label ID="Label6" runat="server" Text="Please Enter Age" Font-Size="Large" Font-Names="Verdana"

Font-Italic="true"></asp:Label>

BackColor="Orange" Font-Bold="True" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<br />

<asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Font-Bold="true" Font-Names="Verdana"></asp:Label>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

</center>

</form>

</body>

</html>

Step 3: The complete code of webform1.aspx.cs looks like this:

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace ClientOMInsert

{

public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page

{

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

TextBox4.Focus();

}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox3.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox4.Text))

{

Label5.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";

Label5.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

}

else

{

ClientContext objContext = new ClientContext("http://win-5c3g1lanj3k:46908/");

List list = objContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(TextBox4.Text);

ListItemCreationInformation creationInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation();

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItem item = list.AddItem(creationInfo);

item["Title"] = TextBox1.Text;

item["LastName"] = TextBox2.Text;

item["Age"] = int.Parse(TextBox3.Text);

item.Update();

objContext.ExecuteQuery();

Label5.Text = "Data inserted Successfully";

Label5.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

TextBox1.Text = string.Empty;

TextBox2.Text = string.Empty;

TextBox3.Text = string.Empty;

TextBox4.Text = string.Empty;

}

Step 4: The output of the application looks like this:

Step 5: The nothing entered output of the application looks like this:

Step 6: Data entering output of the application looks like this:
