i have created an asp.net page for our client. He is asking me to deploy this page through sharepoint designer to view from his own SharePoint server.
Is is possible to deploy a solution through designer software.
This is the requirement for the project
Create a registration page and save data in sharepoint list
It will have some jquery files and images
We are using sharepoint server 2007 version. Is it possible to push these files and .dll into GAC everything through SharepointDesigner2007.
Please suggest some answers.
You cannot deploy DLLs using SharePint designer and you have to use WSP. Checkout SharePoint Solution Installer which can help you make the insallation smoother.

I'm developing an Office 365 Mail Add-in in Napa and want to set the app icon. There is a manifest XML file that can include an IconUrl element, but the Napa platform doesn't provide an avenue for uploading my manifest.
Is there a way to set the icon using Napa? If not, what can I use to deploy a version of my add-in to my test account with the updated manifest?
I would highly recommend that if you are ready to custom your manifest, you should consider using Visual Studio 2015 Community with Office Developer Tools. Napa is a lightweight playground for exploring and trying out the Office Add-ins quickly and I think you'll find that you have a lot more power in VS.
If you are using a mac, download your project from Napa and you can use any preferred development environment (instructions on how to debug with a text editor).
Thanks for asking and please feel free to reach out again if you have any more questions!

Generally you would reference the icon image in the manifest just as you would reference image files in .html pages in your solution. For example, store the icon in the Contents or Images folder and reference it using virtual paths. It has to be stored on the web server whether your .html, .js and .css files are located.
Note that the only place you really upload your manifest is within the Addin management pages within your Mailbox or via the Exchange Admin Center pages.
I have an existing ASP.NET MVC application using Visual Studio 2013. I followed this walk-through but it only concerns itself with a new greenfield project while selecting Change Authentication in project template: Developing ASP.NET Apps with Windows Azure Active Directory
I am not interested in using OWIN and OpenID Connect Katana modules as these components have lots of issues so I am waiting for that technology to mature and render out all the current problems.
I aim is understand how to manually add all the components and configuration to my existing ASP.NET MVC application to achieve the same Azure AD authentication model in Rick Anderson's article.
The tooling in VS 2013 doesn't support adding this to an existing project. At the bottom of the link you referenced in the More Information section is a deep dive article where I dissect the code and configuration that gets added. So, you could use that as a reference to find the deltas and apply them to your project.
Now, Visual Studio 2015 offers us some hope in this scenario. It's in preview of course, but you may give it a try. In Solution Explorer, right click on your existing project and select the Configure Azure AD Authentication option.
In Visual Studio 2017 the option to enable Authentication with Azure Active Directory is in Connected Services:
I need to deploy to "_catalogs/masterpage/" and "Style Library/" multiple jpg, css, javascript files
These files originate from a developer platform and are to be deployed to multiple platforms without using SharePoint Designer.
Apart from manually uploading multiple files in the /Forms/AllItems.aspx pages, is there another way to do this ?
I'm using SharePoint 2007
This is the exact purpose for solution packages:
The Windows SharePoint Services solution framework provides a way to bundle all the components for extending Windows SharePoint Services in a new file that is called a solution file. A solution file has a .CAB-based format but a .WSP extension. A solution is a deployable, reusable package that can contain a set of Features, site definitions, and assemblies that apply to sites, and that you can enable or disable individually. You can use the solution file to deploy the contents of a Web Part package, including assemblies, class resources, .dwp files, and other package components.
The two recommended tools for creating solution packages for SharePoint 2007 are WSPBuilder and STSDEV.
I am trying to see if you can use Microsoft Access Services, as available in Access 2010, to synchronise data between an MVC web app, and a Microsoft Access desktop solution.
If you publish the Access app backend via Access Services to a sharepoint. This works fine, and you could use Web Databases to use that, but... sadly, there are limitations to Web Databases.
So, if I can get the data into SharePoint lists, and these lists will synch with the Access tables, then all I need is to access the sharepoint lists from the MVC app, hey presto, you have an MVC app that synchs with an Access desktop app.
So the questions are:
Will the above idea work?
And:
How do you access sharepoint lists from an ASP.NET MVC 3 app?
In an attempt to answer this myself, I came across the following:
On MSDN, there is an article on Linq to SharePoint. As I understand it, this intended for use in SharePoint, but there seems no reason why this could not be used from an MVC app, EXCEPT that there is no available reference Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq from Visual Studio 2010 Professional.
Presumably, this reflects the fact that the Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq namespace is only available to code running in a SharePoint site?
Which would leave third party tooling, unless there is a native way for .NET to access SharePoint lists. In that respect:
Is there a native way for .NET to access SharePoint lists?
And:
Do you know of any third party library or code samples for accessing sharepoint lists from an MVC 3 app?
Presumably, someone has already tried to do this. So:
Do you know of any links to read more on this subject?
To get the Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq namespace just install SharePoint server Trial(on a virtual machine preferably) and then copy the DLL from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extension\14\ASAPI\ directory to the BIN folder of your MVC3 Application and reference it within your project.
To query the SharePoint list you might need other DLLs which are in that folder as well(by the way the \14\ directory is AKA "The 14th hive").
I have created a Visual web part for SP2010 site, What I need is to implement it into MOSS 2007 site.
Does MOSS2007 support visual web part,and how to do this?
I dont see VS 2010 Support Visual WebPart for 2007, but still you can develop a web part using 2010 (not using any of 2010 Feature) and after you completed the development you can package it manually to be deployed to 2007. Yeah its a extra step. Or you can see how smartpart works. Smartpart is nothing but similar concept in 2007 World.
