I have two questions:
1. On a SharePoint 2013 page the Bing map throws an error Uncaught TypeError: Microsoft.Maps.Location is not a constructor in the Chrome and the Firefox browsers. How can i fix it, please?
2. The Bing v7 migration to v8 will affect SharePoint 2013?
Thank you.
Not sure which web part this is. The built in mapping functionality in SharePoint was wraps the Bing Maps API's and was built and is supported by the Sharepoint team. There was also a basic webpart I believe which the SharePoint or Office team created, but I believe this was deprecated a few years ago.
As for V7 migration, all v7 traffic now points to v8 as v8 is over 95% backwards compatible and majority of v7 apps were able to continue working with a simple redirect of the API.

I am a new user of SiteCore platform and facing "Page Unresponsive" Issue - extremely frequently - on SiteCore CMS. This happens on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox. This happens at every 30-40 seconds.
Could anyone please share insights on what might have gone wrong and what steps to take to fix this issue?
Hi the bad performance could be generated by different problems. I would recommend you check your console for errors or monitor Sitecore ajax calls that result in errors or are very slow/unresponsive.
chrome web developer tool
Also you can check Sitecore logs for errors. These are located in [data-folder]/logs in log.[date].txt file
You can also check if you met the requirements for installing Sitecore 8:
IIS 8.5 or IIS 8.0
.Net framework 4.5 and above,
Miminum MS Sql server 2008 R2 SP1 or above editions like SQL server 2012, SQL server 2014
MongoDB Database 2.6x if you have Analytics enabled
I recently working on a Windows 8.1 App, which was developed with C# and XAML. SharePoint Online is used for Data store.
I searched and found that Wictor solution can be used for Authentication. but the problem is that we can not use Wictor solution [http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/How-to-do-active-authentication-to-Office-365-and-SharePoint-Online.aspx] directly as it is built upon .Net framework and Metro Apps are built upon .NetCore.
One possible option is to use WCF service and have whole Wictor solution in WCF service then call WCF service from Windows App. I tested it and it is working fine.
However, I wanted to know what would be the best approach available if I don't want to deploy this WCF separately. In future I have to publish this Win App on Windows store.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
I use Dynamics CRM Online (2013) to manage daily incident tickets, daily requests and change requests. I'd like to use their API and pull this information into a custom application to display them on a dashboard.
Basically what I want to do is to be able to grab the number of open tickets using my application. Then it'll publish this information to elsewhere. It's a Java application running on a Windows server.
Can you please point me in the correct direction?
MSDN lists a walkthrough (click here to see it) (it's related to CRM Online 2011, but since most of the info is still accurate I'd say it's worth a try) aimed exactly at connecting to CRM Online fom Java.
The prerequisites listed are
Java SE SDK 1.6 update 23 or later
Eclipse 3.7.x and above or NetBeans 6.9x or later
Apache Axis 2 ver. 1.6.1
Apache HTTP Components Client 4.1.3
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online
You're going to have to generate the classes (in .NET you use crmsvcutil.exe, it's roughly equivalent) and then you should be all set.
I writing a tool to automatically update a datasheet on a sharepoint 2007 site. The tool runs on JVM, and seems like 2007 has no REST service support, so can anyone point me to some good resource of using webservice to update datasheet object on sharepoint?
Thanks,
The DataSheet is just a UI view in front of a SharePoint list, therefore you should be looking to update the List, not the DataSheet UI.
This will give you a start, its written for C# but can be ported to Java.

This programming task shows how to use
the UpdateListItems method of the
Lists Web service to update items in a
list through a Microsoft Windows
application.
For Java specific example see - http://davidsit.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/creating-sharepoint-list-items-with-java-tutorial/
Im my current project we need to interface with sharepoint to store and retrieve various documents.
This has previously been done by referencing the Microsoft.Sharepoint dlls directly and going from there. As I don't know a lot about sharepoint yet I have been doing some research.
Most of the examples I find actually refer to using the Sharepoint web services themselves (the various vti_bin ones shown in http://www.sharepointmonitor.com/2007/01/sharepoint-web-service/).
I cant seem to find the differences in approaches. This current project was written a few years ago so maybe the web services weren't available then?
I'm looking for a solution to add and retrieve data from sharepoint and also a little explanation as to the differences in using refernces vs the web service
Cheers
Referincing Microsoft.SharePoint.DLL is only supported on code that runs within SharePoint. It often does work on Projects that are not part of SharePoint but that are run on a SharePoint server, but that's a) unsupported and b) not all functions work. If your Applications runs outside of the SharePoint server, referencing Microsoft.SharePoint.dll won't work.
If you want to access SharePoint from an application outside of SharePoint, there's three ways:
Use the SharePoint Webservices, for example Lists.asmx
If your SharePoint site runs on SharePoint 2010, use one of the three Client Object Models (.net, Silverlight, JavaScript)
Develop some code that runs on the SharePoint Server and exposes the data through a Web Service. This only makes sense if you have to do something that's either complicated/painful to do entirely client side or if you really need full control over the web service.
