newbie question,
I have an office 365 E4 plan in the office and have been playing around with SharePoint.
I reached a point where i need to code a few things.
Can i use powershell and SPSite to connect to SharePoint online, ie not a local farm.
I have successful used SPOSite but cant seem to be able to use SPSite.
thanks,
Alex
The short version is no, you can't. The "O" in "SPO" is for "Online". The SPO- family of cmdlets are for SharePoint Online, and not all the same functionality is exposed in the online version as on-premises.
Often, however, there are alternatives depending on the specific scenario you're trying to enable.

I've developed an outlook addin in vs2013. The development machine has sharepoint installed. My code has:
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
But when I run this code on a client machine it shows an error.
enter image description here.In some sites they suggest using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll. Can anyone help?
This won't work as you expected. Microsoft.SharePoint.dll is a server side library which is part of Microsoft SharePoint and hence can neither be referenced nor used otherwise in a client-side environment such as an Outlook add-in.
What you are looking for is Client-Side Object Model, or CSOM for short. However, developing CSOM apps is a completely different story, needs slightly different knowledge and skills. The bad news is most of your SharePoint-related work will have to be redeveloped almost from scratch.
If your SharePoint integration isn't heavy, you might be able to achieve what you want with SharePoint's web services, either REST or SOAP. There an article on MSDN providing insight to various types of SharePoint APIs and providing guidance which API to use in what situation. You shoudl read this first.
we can't use using Microsoft.SharePoint; in sharepoint not installed system.
we need to use using Microsoft.SharePoint.client; for client system and use client object model code.
I've been doing some research on how to implement a workflow in SharePoint Online and I found two interesting examples:
First
Second
They were useful, but there is a big problem with these. They are apps, so the workflow cannot be used outside the app (ex. lists, libraries) is there any way to make this (using Visual Studio, Power shell, SP Designer, etc.)? I am new in SharePoint, can anybody help me?
You kan add
true
to the WorkflowManifest in order to publish the workflow om the hostweb. But not that the tasks og history for the workfow is still tracked on the appweb.
You can see example here...
http://www.vrdmn.com/2014/09/integrated-workflow-apps-deploy.html
If you need the tasks and history on the hostweb you can create a sandbox solution with the workflow and publish the wsp-apckage on the site.
If you are not a programmer you're probably better of with SharePoint Designer 2013. You can download that for free. Just make a quick search for SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow. There are plenty of examples for this.
So I've done some digging, but came up with nothing thus far because I feel that this would be a close to impossible task. But I am more than willing to look on my own, I wanted to know if it was possible to access Google related resources using QT Creator. So For example if I wanted to use say Google analytics, what would I need to research? Would I need to have some sort of app-engine side?
Thanks!
You can access most of the Google products by using the corresponding API (AppEngine is not required for that). This link lists all available Google APIs. You can then access it using the Google API Client for C++, but the C++ binding seems to be in alpha.
Edit:
It seems that Google stopped the development and support of the C++ binding for their APIs. The library source code can still be found on Github.
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.
I'm trying to upload documents to SharePoint using web services attaching custom metadata to the files. I've searched but have not found a good tutorial covering all these topics. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Here's why I think I need to use web services:
I'm developing on XP and the Sharepoint object model is not remotable. This means any code which has "using Microsoft.Sharepoint" is out :-(
I'm looked into the CopyIntoItems web service but am having trouble implementing it myself. I was hoping for a clear tutorial. I've tried using the sample code from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/copy.copy.copyintoitems.aspx , but I'm not sure what my sourceURL should be. Also, since I can't use "Microsoft.Sharepoint" references, I'm wondering what my Fields will look like? (Is this my metadata?) Also, I'm curious as to why only Website projects allow me to add a web service.
Once the file is "in" Sharepoint using that web service, I'll have to use another one to update custom columns, or metadata. Some of these are freeform text, but other must match entries in lists or lookups. I haven't found any information on this yet.
Thank you for your help!
Here is some code http://geek.hubkey.com/2007/10/upload-file-to-sharepoint-document.html
As for why it is that is the way because Microsoft wrote it that way :). Some people have written custom web services that combine them, http://www.sharepointblogs.com/ssa/archive/2006/11/30/wsuploadservice-web-service-for-uploading-documents-into-sharepoint.aspx
Using the built in web services you have to upload the file and upload CAML which contains the columns. Another option if you are using a MS-Office document is to make sure the author fills in the properties in the document then you can have those fields displayed in sharepoint.
Here is some stuff on the Sharepoint Designer - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/FX100487631033.aspx
Hope that helps a little.
You can link to the Sharepoint 2007 training from here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/HA102358581033.aspx
The designer I believe has a WS example in it.
