Hi Navaratan,

Can you please give more details to better understand your scenario:

• What build of VS and SharePoint do you have?
• Are you using the Site Definition template or WSP Import template to deploy the new SiteTemplate through VS?
• What modifications (if any) do you make to the template files before deploying them.
• Which list are you trying to create?

Hello Mr. Mujahid Hasan

      Yes it is Beta2.

 My code is for creating a list is

 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Xml;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace CPM.Lists {
class ProjectIssueCategoryClient {
private const String _listName = "Project Issue Category";
public void CreateList(SPWeb siteFeature, bool parentSite) {
CommonListMethods commonListMethods = new CommonListMethods();
SPList list = commonListMethods.CreateList(siteFeature, _listName, _listName, (int)CommonEnums.EntityType.ProjectIssueCategory, SPListTemplateType.GenericList, parentSite);
list.OnQuickLaunch = false;
if (list != null) {
AddListFields(ref list);
}
commonListMethods = null;
}

private void AddListFields(ref SPList projectIssueCategoryList) {
CPM.Lists.CommonListMethods commonListMethods = new CPM.Lists.CommonListMethods();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("Issue Category ID", SPFieldType.Guid, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Issue Category ID"].StaticName = "CustomssueCategoryID";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Issue Category ID"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Issue Category ID"].Update();
SPField title = projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Title"];
title.Title = "Issue Category Title";
title.Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("Created By", SPFieldType.Text, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Created By"].StaticName = "CustomCreatedBy";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Created By"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Created By"].Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("Modified By", SPFieldType.Text, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Modified By"].StaticName = "CustomModifiedBy";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Modified By"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Modified By"].Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("Created Date", SPFieldType.DateTime, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Created Date"].StaticName = "CustomCreatedDate";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Created Date"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Created Date"].Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("Modified Date", SPFieldType.DateTime, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Modified Date"].StaticName = "CustomModifiedDate";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Modified Date"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Modified Date"].Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("Company ID", SPFieldType.Guid, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Company ID"].StaticName = "CustomCompanyID";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Company ID"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Company ID"].Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("Web ID", SPFieldType.Guid, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Web ID"].StaticName = "CustomWebID";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Web ID"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Web ID"].Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("Parent Type", SPFieldType.Guid, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Parent Type"].StaticName = "CustomParentType";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Parent Type"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Parent Type"].Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("Parent Type ID", SPFieldType.Guid, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Parent Type ID"].StaticName = "CustomParentTypeID";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Parent Type ID"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["Parent Type ID"].Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields.Add("IssueCategoryURL", SPFieldType.Text, false);
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["IssueCategoryURL"].StaticName = "CustomIssueCategoryURL";
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["IssueCategoryURL"].Hidden = true;
projectIssueCategoryList.Fields["IssueCategoryURL"].Update();
projectIssueCategoryList.Update();
commonListMethods.CreateView(ref projectIssueCategoryList);
commonListMethods = null;
}

}

}

===============And code of  CommonListMethods Is=========

private SPListTemplateType _listTemplateType = SPListTemplateType.GenericList;
public SPList CreateList(SPWeb siteFeature, String listName, String listDesc, int entityType, SPListTemplateType listTemplateType, bool ParentSite) {
_listTemplateType = listTemplateType;
return CreateList(siteFeature, listName, listDesc, entityType, ParentSite);
}
public SPList CreateList(SPWeb siteFeature, String listName, String listDesc, int entityType, bool ParentSite) {
if (siteFeature != null) {
using (SPWeb web = siteFeature as SPWeb) {
web.Lists.Add(listName, listDesc, _listTemplateType);
web.Update();
SPList list = web.Lists[listName];
list.OnQuickLaunch = true;
string asmName = "CPM, Version = 1.0.0.0, Culture = Neutral, PublicKeyToken = 9da0380695a90b73";
string className = "CPM.Lists.ListItemEventReceiver";
list.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemAdding, asmName, className);
list.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemUpdating, asmName, className);
list.Update();
list.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemAdded, asmName, className);
list.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemUpdated, asmName, className);
list.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemDeleted, asmName, className);
list.Update();
list.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemDeleting, asmName, className);
list.Update();
web.Dispose();
return list;
}
}
return null;
}

Hi Navaratan,

Unfortunately it is hard to figure out why your project is failing. Is it possible for you to email your solution as a zip file to me for further investigation at: mujahidh [at] microsoft.com

Answer 6

Hi All,

I am having exactly the same problem, has someone already found a solution for this issue?

Answer 7

I came across this website, with I think the solution to your problem:

Problem with VS2010 beta 2 Site Definition

Hope it helps.

Answer 8

Thank you r.burgundy! That solved the problem for me... thx!

Answer 9

Hello this is realy work.

After creating the new Site Definition Project in the onet.xml file contains the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project Title="SampleSiteDefinition" Revision="2" ListDir="" xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <NavBars>
  </NavBars>
  <Configurations>
    <Configuration ID="0" Name="SampleSiteDefinition">
      <Lists/>
      <SiteFeatures>
      </SiteFeatures>
      <WebFeatures>
      </WebFeatures>
      <Modules>
        <Module Name="DefaultBlank" />
      </Modules>
    </Configuration>
  </Configurations>
  <Modules>
    <Module Name="DefaultBlank" Url="" Path="">
      <File Url="default.aspx">
      </File>
    </Module>
  </Modules>
</Project>

Now you can modify to the onet.xml and default.aspx as you like.

When deploying the new Site Definition, creating a site, and then trying to create a new Document Library you get the error above.  The solution for the error turned out to be the missing declaration of the <DocumentTemplates> XML node.

Correct default onet.xml should be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project Title="SampleSiteDefinition" Revision="2" ListDir="" xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <NavBars>
  </NavBars>
  <DocumentTemplates>
  </DocumentTemplates>
  <Configurations>
      <Lists/>
      <SiteFeatures>
      </SiteFeatures>
      <WebFeatures>
      </WebFeatures>
      <Modules>
        <Module Name="DefaultBlank" />
      </Modules>
    </Configuration>
  </Configurations>
  <Modules>
    <Module Name="DefaultBlank" Url="" Path="">
      <File Url="default.aspx">
      </File>
    </Module>
  </Modules>
</Project>
After re-deploying the Site Definition and creating a new Site, you are able to create a Document Library.

Thnaks Mr.  r.burgundy for your help.
