  1. Построение Windows 8приложений для доступа к SharePoint 2013 Бельский Сергей

  2. Agenda • Getting started with Windows 8Apps • Which SharePoint APIs are suitable? • Binding SharePoint data • Searching SharePoint • Notification

  3. What is a Window 8 app?

  4. Touch First • No chrome – full screen experience • Designed for Touch and Pen input

  5. What is a Windows 8 app? • Full screen window with multiple views • Supports touch and works great without • Runs on a variety of devices • Sandboxed • Uses tiles instead of icons • Can be distribute via Windows Store

  6. Why Windows 8 App and SharePoint? • Great way to visualize data • Business Intelligence • Charts / Graphs • Reports • Brings SharePoint to the Desktop • Executives love “touch” • Great app opportunity • Easy to develop

  7. Getting Started

  8. Getting Started - Environment • At least two machines required • Server running SharePoint 2013 • SQL, Active Directory, Workflow, WAC optionally on other servers • Client running Windows 8 • Pro or Enterprise works best • Ideally both machines are on the same domain

  9. Getting Started - Server • Windows Server running SharePoint 2013 • Visual Studio not required • More memory is ideal

  10. Getting Started - Client • Client running Windows 8 • Pro or Enterprise ideal • Connected to same domain • Visual Studio 2012 RTM • 2 GB – 4 GB of memory • Internet connection required

  11. Which Language? • HTML5 + JavaScript • XAML with C#, Visual Basic, or C++ code-behind • DirectX with native C++ and HLSL

  12. DEMO Simple App. Simulator

  13. SharePoint Integration Points • Authorization • Data binding • Contracts • Search • Live Tiles • Notification

  14. Authorization

  15. Authorization

  16. DEMO Authorization to the office 365

  17. Data binding

  18. Data binding steps • Retrieve data from SharePoint • Bind data to default view model • Customize template

  19. SharePoint 2013 APIs • RSS • Client Script Object Model • Web Services • REST

  20. What’s covered in the new CSOM/REST APIs? Search Social Taxonomy Workflow Analytics Sharing Publishing eDiscovery IRM BCS And much, much more!

  21. Why is REST the best choice? • Simple and Easy to Use • Much easier to use than SOAP-based Web service • Higher productivity when using JavaScript and jQuery • Results can be returned in JSON and ATOM format • Test in a browser

  22. ODATA URIs • URI has three significant parts • Service root URI • Resource path • Query string options (select, filter)

  23. REST URLs in SharePoint 2013 _api is new alias for _vti_bin/client.svc Server Client CSOM REST OData JSON JavaScript Library Silverlight Library .Net CLR Library Custom Client Code

  24. Mapping Objects to Resources • Example REST URLs targeting SharePoint sites _api/web/lists _api/web/lists/getByTitle('Announcements') _api/web/lists/getByTitle('Announcements')/$select=title,body,expirationdate

  25. Response XML

  26. ATOM XML or JSON? • Response data format selected with ACCEPT header • XML can be easier to deal with from managed code • To get ATOM XML response use "application/atom+xml" • JSON is easier to deal with when using JavaScript • To get JSON response use "application/json"

  27. REST Queries from Windows 8 Apps • Use HttpClientobject to GET SharePoint data • Use HttpClientHandler object for authentication • Add headers to request data in ATOM XML format • Parse data with LINQ to XML

  28. Data Templates • Bind data to SharePoint fields • Change look and feel of results • Can be defined in: • Page.Resources • StandardStyles.xaml <DataTemplate x:Key="Standard250x250ItemTemplate">     <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="250" Height="250">         <Border Background="{StaticResourceListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush}">             <Image Source="{Binding Image}" Stretch="UniformToFill" AutomationProperties.Name="{Binding Title}"/>         </Border>         <StackPanelVerticalAlignment="Bottom" Background="{StaticResourceListViewItemOverlayBackgroundThemeBrush}"> …

  29. Package.appmanifest • Specify information about your app • i.e.: Name, logo, supported orientations, splash screen • Declares capabilities your app requires • SharePoint typically requires: • Enterprise Authentication (not for office 365) • Internet (Client) • Private Networks (Client & Server) (not for office 365)

  30. DEMO Data binding a document library using REST + JSON

  31. App Contracts

  32. What is App Contract? • An agreement between one or more apps • Built with special Visual Studio project items File Picker Play To Search Share Settings

  33. Search Contract • Great for SharePoint • Add SharePoint Search to the Charms menu • Touch friendly interface • App automatically launched if not open • Can be activated on keyboard input

  34. Creating a Search Contract • Use Search Contract Project Item • Query search via REST • Format XML into expected format • Bind results to this.DefaultViewModel[“Results”]

  35. Searching SharePoint • Search Web Service deprecated • REST API preferred query method • Search REST URL

  36. DEMO Searching SharePoint documents from Windows 8 App

  37. Tiles and Notification

  38. Tiles • Combination of text and images • Defined by XML • 34 Templates Available • Can be updated by app

  39. Tiles come in all shapes and sizes

  40. Tile XML <tile> <visual> <binding template="TileSquareBlock"> <text id="1">Text Field 1</text> <text id="2">Text Field 2</text> </binding> </visual> </tile> <tile> <visual> <binding template="TileWideImageAndText01"> <image id="1" src="image1.png" alt="alt text"/> <text id="1">Text Field 1</text> </binding> </visual> </tile>

  41. Apps can notify users with • Tiles • Badges • Toast • Lock Screen

  42. Types of notification • Periodic • Polling – occurs at regular intervals until stopped • Scheduled – occurs at a scheduled time • Push

  43. Strategy for updating Tiles with SharePoint • No client side code executed when polling Tile XML • Avoid custom code in SharePoint • Solution: Custom RSS

  44. DEMO Notification
