Hi,

I have to create a folder in sharepoint using a plugin in CRM Online,

I did this method but I have an error : the remote server returned an error (403) forbidden

My credentials are correct and I have the rights to create a folder. I can do that from a browser.

Thanks for help.

private void CreateFolderInSharepoint(string folderUrl, ITracingService trace)
{
try
{
System.Net.NetworkCredential myCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(folderUrl);
request.Credentials = myCredential;
request.Method = "MKCOL";
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
response.Close();


}
catch (Exception ex)
{
trace.Trace(ex.ToString());
}
}

Are you able to create folder on the same site using these credentials manually? Sometimes, you have access to SharePoint site but need admin level access to create folders.

Hi,

In order to do anything in SharePoint you have to first have need authentication (cookies) and use the following class in your plugin. (MsOnlineClaimsHelper).

www.wictorwilen.se/.../How-to-do-active-authentication-to-Office-365-and-SharePoint-Online.aspx

Its rather old way but it works well and once you are login then you have to do following:

1. Create SharePoint List Web Service proxy calss.

2. Use Caml Query (xml) (to get the Document library list and view ID)

or use List service instead of caml query to dynamically create folder .

Here are some links:

social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../how-to-create-folder-and-subfolder-using-web-services

stackoverflow.com/.../creating-folders-programmatically-in-sharepoint-2013

I have done this all many times but if you still need help in code or something. Please let em know.

Thanks

Hi raj,

In this blog wouldn't these 2 sharepoint DLL's:

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll

need to be register on server's GAC. Otherwise DLL merge in plugin (mess) :)

Hi Adnan,

The MsOnlineClaimsHelper needs Microsoft.SharePoint DLL.

So as I said in the issue above, I'm working on CRM online so Idon't have access to the server to put references.

who said that MsOnlineClaimsHelper needs any SharePoint DLL, no it doesn't need anything from plugin, that is why I give you the reference so that you just need to include this class in your plugin just compile and register it no references.

Do you have this class??
Just comment the clientContext_ExecutingWebRequest event and use the following code for authentication.

MsOnlineClaimsHelper obj= MsOnlineClaimsHelper(SharePointUrl, SharePointUserId, SharePointPassword);

CookieContainer cook=obj.getCookieContainer();

// for online sharepoint only not other
SharePointList.CookieContainer = authCookie;
SharePointListView.CookieContainer = authCookie;

// now you can use both list and view web service to create a folder
