Project Server 2010 : Server Event Handlers (Part 2)






Now we have wrote the business logic code, and registered the dll in GAC (in Part 1), we will register this event handler association in Project Server Application, so that when an event is raised, our function will be triggered.

lets open server side event handler from Server Settings under Operational policies chose Server Side Event Handler, this will open the following page:


Figure 1

Chose the event that we need to trigger our function on, in our example from the previous post it will be Project on Creating; locate the Project parent and Creating event, it will list all the registered associations (if there are any).

to add new association click on New Event Handler which will open the following page:


Figure 2


the Display Information section is for the name and description that appears in the list.
the System Information section is to fill the dll information from GAC, as below:
  • Assembly Name: which is the dll's name in this format ddlName, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and these information can be retrieved by right click > properties for the dll from GAC (assembly) filder, check figure 3 below.
  • Class Name: is the Class's full name <Namespace>.<Class> that we have developed on visual studio.
  • Order: is the order of this function if there are more than one association.



Figure 3


after filling the form, click save. A notification message will appear that says "Change the event handler configuration are asynchronous and may require a few minutes to complete. Please try refreshing the page after few minutes to check the even handler configuration changes." it indicates that the changes need some time to be reflected.

Couple of refreshes later, the association will be added to the event and it will be ready to be used.

in our example, the code we wrote on (Part 1) will be triggered whenever a new project is created from Project Server web application.

To start with event handlers development, you need to create new Class Library Project, from File > New > Project and select Class Library template (Figure 1) Figure 1 Delete the default class file class1.cs and right click on the project Add > New Item select class and rename it to ProjectEventHandler.cs , that will create new class file with a class called ProjectEventHandler . Add public access modifier to make this class accessible. Add these Project Server 2010 reference, right click on the project > Add Reference on the browse ta...

Retrieving Sharepoint Lists' Information In Project Sites - Project Server 2010

In a previous blog post we have discussed how to retrieve Risks and Issues custom columns information (built in project properties) from Sharepoint through SQL query. But ... what If I have another custom list that is not a project property by default, lets say "Project Monthly Review" that contains these columns "Month" as text, "Year" as text, and "Review" as multiline text. for retrieving this information in Sharepoint 2010 through SQL below is the query that will just do the work: SELECT  P.ProjectUID, A.tp_ListId, A.tp_IsCurrent, A.nvarcahr3  as  [ Year ], A.nvarchar4  as  [ Month ], A.nText2  as  [Review] FROM  PWA_ContentDB.dbo.AllLists  as  L   INNER   JOIN  PWA_ContentDB.dbo.AllUserData  AS  A  ON  L.tp_ID = A.tp_ListId There the trick ... again ... the new custom Sharepoint list added to this certain site template (or project site) is not connec...
