I've used the tfs api to programatically add links between work items in different team-projects, currently all links are set as related links but I'd like to change some of them to some of the other types supported in tfs2010 e.g. "parent" etc. But I can't work out how to do it. Any ideas?
Edit:
Originally I added thus:
RelatedLink link = new RelatedLink(iLinkMe);
wi.Links.Add(link);
when I think I should have added:
WorkItemLinkTypeEnd linkTypEnd = store.WorkItemLinkTypes.LinkTypeEnds["Parent"];
RelatedLink linkBetter = new RelatedLink(linkTypEnd, iLinkMe);
wi.Links.Add(linkBetter );
but I didn't, (and I don't like the "Parent" string, I was looking for an enum), so how do I change the linkTypeEnd? I'm guessing I can modify this via wi.Links ?
Have a look at this site on how to Create Link Between Work Item (Parent, Child etc…).

It is possible to automatically generate Sitecore templates just coding models? I'm using Sitecore 8.0 and I saw Glass Mapper Code First approach but I cant find more information about that.
Not sure why there isn't much info about it, but you can definitely model/code first!. I do it alot using the attribute configuration approach like so:
[SitecoreType(true, "{generated guid}")]
public class ExampleModel
{
[SitecoreField("{generated guid}", SitecoreFieldType.SingleLineText)]
public virtual string Title { get; set; }
}
Now how this works. The SitecoreType 'true' value for the first parameter indicates it may be used for codefirst. There is a GlassCodeFirstDataprovider which has an Initialize method, executed in Sitecore's Initialize pipeline. This method will collect all configurations marked for codefirst and create it in the sql dataprovider. The sections and fields are stored in memory. It also takes inheritance into account (base templates).
I think you first need to uncomment some code in the GlassMapperScCustom class you get when you install the project via Nuget. The PostLoad method contains the few lines that execute the Initialize method of each CodeFirstDataprovider.
var dbs = global::Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.GetDatabases();
foreach (var db in dbs)
{
var provider = db.GetDataProviders().FirstOrDefault(x => x is GlassDataProvider) as GlassDataProvider;
if (provider != null)
{
using (new SecurityDisabler())
{
provider.Initialise(db);
}
}
}
Furthermore I would advise to use code first on development only. You can create packages or serialize the templates as usual and deploy them to other environment so you dont need the dataprovider (and potential risks) there.
You can. But it's not going to be Glass related.
Code first is exactly what Sitecore.PathFinder is looking to achieve. There's not a lot of info publicly available on this yet however.

I am using Sitecore Glass Mapper for a new project I'm setting up.
We are using Sitecore 7.2, latest version of Team Development for Sitecore (TDS) code generation and the latest version of glass.
The code I am trying to execute:
var b = new SitecoreContext();
var c = b.GetCurrentItem<T01_Homepage>();
b is not null. c is null.
var d = b.GetItem<T01_Homepage>("path")
d is null.
I added my assembly in GlassMapperScCustom:
public static IConfigurationLoader[] GlassLoaders(){
var attributes = new AttributeConfigurationLoader(new[] { "Company.Framework.Websites.Corporate", "Company.Framework.Core", "Company.Framework.Common" });
return new IConfigurationLoader[] { attributes };
}
When I look into b.GlassContext.TypeConfigurations all my models are there.
I figured it could be a language issue because the site is in dutch and maybe the wrong language would be resolved incorrectly. This was also not the case.
I disabled WebActivator and added the GlassMapperSc.Start() in my Global.asax Application_Start method.
We are also using Autofac as DI framework. But without it, it still isn't working as you can see above. Also when I create my own custom models without TDS code generation the result of GetCurrentItem<T> is null.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?
Did you check your Sites.config and the default language for this website? There could be a difference between the language which is defined in your Sitecore languages folder and your configuration.
I had a similar problem with one of my projects where I changed the Sitecore.Context.Language to "nl" instead of "nl-NL". The glass mapper will return null, but Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem will return an object in this case.
Most of the times it is a language issue. The mapper returns a null object when you do not have versions in the current or given language.
What can be confusing is that Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem returns an object, even if it does not have a version in the current language. Be sure to check that item.Versions has any.
Some things you may try (this didn't fit in the comments field)
1) Confirm that the related fields in the Sitecore Item object contain values (so Sitecore.Context.Item for your "c" var and Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem("path") for your "d" var)
2) Try to encapsulate the GetItem/GetCurrentItem call in a VersionCountDisabler, like this:
T01_Homepage model = null;
using (new VersionCountDisabler())
{
var context = new SitecoreContext();
model = context.GetItem<T01_Homepage>("path");
}
// Do you have data in model now?
3) Try to encapsulate the same call with a SecurityDisabler. Just to confirm it's not a security issue.
4) If you still don't know what it is, please update your question with some (simplified) code for your model.
What I'm trying to do is to fill ListView in Windows 8 Metro application dynamically with pre-loaded images.
for each item (URI) I'm doing it plain simple with the code like this (C++):
Windows::UI::Xaml::Media::Imaging::BitmapImage^ bitmapSrc =
ref new Windows::UI::Xaml::Media::Imaging::BitmapImage();
bitmapSrc->CreateOptions = Windows::UI::Xaml::Media::Imaging::BitmapCreateOptions::IgnoreImageCache;
bitmapSrc->UriSource = uri;
img->Source = bitmapSrc;
LoadListView->Items->Append(img);
but when I delete (in the app) source image described by URI and I create new file with the same name and try to reload it into the list then I fail and image shown is the old one (deleted). I presume some cache works here. I tried to avoid caching by IgnoreImageCache value in CreateOptions but it didn't work.
Any clues how to disable caching of BitmapSource (Image) potentially bound to ListView in Windows 8 app?
I tried several directions inspired by Silverlight and WPF, none worked unfortunately.
Encouraged by comments, I put answer I've found myself.
Broader context (and also C# perspective) is explained here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winappswithcsharp/thread/171dfe66-78b5-4340-bd78-244337f31287/
Shortly I believe it's a problem with reference counting here.
WinRT keeps the image loaded (cached) in BitmapImage^ as long as Uri is valid and asigned to the object instance, that in my example is added to the list.
Cleaning Uri from BitmapImage^ prior to releasing it from the list solved problem in my case.
According to example in question, below code solves the problem (included in the part where the list removal is performed):
auto item = (Image^)LoadListView->Items->GetAt(selected);
auto src = (Windows::UI::Xaml::Media::Imaging::BitmapImage^)item->Source;
src->UriSource = nullptr; //this line is critical
LoadListView->Items->RemoveAt(selected);
I have 2 templates: ArticleItem and ArticlePageItem, the ArticlePageItem has a ReferenceField 'Content.Reference' that links to an ArticleItem. Below is the code to create an article:
Item articlePageItem = articlePageParentItem.Add(articleItem.Name, new TemplateItem(master.GetItem(ConstantString.ArticlePageTemplateID)));
using (new UserSwitcher(Sitecore.Context.User))
{
articlePageItem.Editing.BeginEdit();
articlePageItem.Fields["Content.Reference"].Value = articleItem.ID.ToString();
articlePageItem.Editing.EndEdit();
}
But after I execute the code above, I cannot get the ArticleItem reference through Globals.LinkDatabase.GetReferences(articlePageItem), even though I use Globals.LinkDatabase.UpdateReference(articlePageItem).
Does anyone know how to implement this?
[Update]
Below is our environment:
We have a website based on Sitecore, and we're developing another system aims to simplify the article management. We use .NET 4 & ASP.NET MVC 3 to implement this system, and reference Sitecore.Kernal.dll & Sitecore.Client.dll to our project. But our sitecore version is 6.2 which is incomplatible with .NET 4, so I just copied part of the configurations. I think it maybe dues to the incomplete web.config.
If you are executing the above code you should also consider publishing the item changes.
This can be done by using the following code snippet:
// publish all changed content
Database webDatabase = Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.GetDatabase("web");
PublishOptions publishOptions = new PublishOptions(masterDatabase, webDatabase, PublishMode.Smart, Sitecore.Context.Language, DateTime.Now);
publishOptions.RootItem = vacatureRoot;
publishOptions.Deep = true;
Publisher publisher = new Publisher(publishOptions);
publisher.Publish();
Where 'vacatureRoot' is the root -> in your case articlePageParentItem
After publishing the references should be set automatically and should be retrievable by using the normal way of getting Fields.
It looks like you are using a ReferenceField and therefore your code should look something like this:
ReferenceField rfRef = Sitecore.Context.Item.Fields["Content.Reference"];
if(rfRef != null && rfRef.TargetItem != null)
{
//Your logic here
}
Answer for comment:
I think you could best use the following code fragment ->
Sitecore.Globals.LinkDatabase.UpdateReferences(articlePageItem);
I think this will do what the name says, update the references for this item.
Hope this will work for you!
I'd like the user to be able to edit the number of recent files shown in the File menu of my MFC application. I've used two very good references:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/menus/changemru.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0899/c/c0899.aspx
It involves deleting and recreating the CRecentFileList object stored in CWinApp::m_pRecentFileList. Unfortunately, I find that the menu is not updated properly after replacing the CRecentFileList. See code snippet below:
void CMyWinApp::SetMRUListSize( int size )
{
// size guaranteed to be between 1 and 16
delete m_pRecentFileList ;
LoadStdProfileSettings( size ) ;
}
What can I do to ensure that what is drawn into the File menu is synchronized with m_pRecentFileList after I recreate the object?
My CApp derives from CWinApp. In initInstance, you have this line:
LoadStdProfileSettings(10);
At the end of InitInstance, add this code:
m_pmf->m_pRecentFileList = m_pRecentFileList;
Here m_pmf is my MainFrame class and I created a member CMainFrame::m_pRecentFileList of type CRecentFileList which is in the MFC source file filelist.cpp. m_pRecentFileList on the right is protected and CMainFrame doesn't have access to it from outside InitInstance, but you can make a functional copy here.
At the end of CMainFrame::OnClose, force a registry update by:
m_pRecentFileList->WriteList();
// Force registry update on exit. This doesn't work without forcing.
I don't even have to rebuild m_pRecentFileList, the MRU mechanism updates it correctly. Example: 5 MRU items, the first is moved to another directory and can no longer be found. Stepping through the code in the debugger shows that the bad entry is removed from the list. For some reason, the updated list isn't saved correctly unless I force it as explained above. I originally thought the problem might have something to do with privileges (64-bit Win7), but running the app as admin didn't help.
Some of Microsoft's documentation suggest you should call CWinApp::LoadStdProfileSettings from within InitInstance. This suggests to me that it's something done once during initialisation rather than at run time.
Have you tried fully implementing the second of the two links you provided? My guess is you need to add the second part instead of the call to CWinApp::LoadStdProfileSettings:
m_pRecentFileList = new CRecentFileList(0, strSection, strEntryFormat, nCount);
if(m_pRecentFileList)
{
bReturn = TRUE;
// Reload list of MRU files from registry
m_pRecentFileList->ReadList();
}
[Edit] Apparently m_pRecentFileList points to an CRecentFileList Class . Have you tried calling CRecentFileList::UpdateMenu?
There's another CodeProject example which might help too.
