I need to get files from "Shared Folders" list. They are nested into several subfolders, it goes like this:
Shared Folders
\- Incoming Documents
\- Work Trips
\- ####(code)
\- the file I'm looking for
I used this question's answer's source code https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/16a2d993-2f5e-4242-8e5a-451a78c064a3/retrieving-folders-from-document-library?forum=sharepointdevelopmentlegacy and I'm not getting anything. I mean, when I'm passing the link - "http://SITE/DocLst/Входящие" from the "ows_EncodedAbsUrl" to the "QueryOptions - Folder" - I get just nothing in return when calling GetListItems. Zero rows.
What I can be doing wrong?
EDIT: Since people suspect microsoft's msdn is a "suspect link" here is my source code (slightly modified code from the link).
static void FillNodes(string querytext, out XmlNode query, out XmlNode viewFields, out XmlNode queryOptions)
{
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(querytext);
query = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Query");
viewFields = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//ViewFields");
queryOptions = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//QueryOptions");
}
static XmlNode GetFoldersNode(XmlNodeList oNodes)
{
// Find the node with root folders
XmlNode folderNode = null;
foreach (XmlNode node in oNodes)
{
if (node.ChildNodes.Count == 0)
continue;
folderNode = node;
break;
}
if (folderNode == null)
throw new Exception("Folders not found!");
return folderNode;
}
static string FindFolder(XmlNode folderNode, string folderName)
{
string folderPath = null;
foreach (XmlNode node in folderNode.ChildNodes)
{
if (node.Attributes == null || node.Attributes["ows_EncodedAbsUrl"] == null)
continue;
if (!node.Attributes["ows_EncodedAbsUrl"].Value.Contains(folderName))
continue;
folderPath = node.Attributes["ows_EncodedAbsUrl"].Value;
break;
}
return folderPath;
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
XmlDocument resdoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
XmlNode resnode = null;
string strURL = "";
string strFileName = "";
sharepointsrv.Lists objLists = new sharepointsrv.Lists();
objLists.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("(login)", "(pw)", "(domain)");
objLists.Url = "http://(site)/_vti_bin/lists.asmx";
XmlNode ndQuery;
XmlNode ndViewFields;
XmlNode ndQueryOptions;
FillNodes("<mylistitemrequest><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=\"FSObjType\" /><Value Type=\"Lookup\">1</Value></Eq></Where></Query><ViewFields><FieldRef Name=\"EncodedAbsUrl\"/><FieldRef Name=\"ID\" /><FieldRef Name=\"FileRef\" /><FieldRef Name=\"ID\" /><FieldRef Name=\"Title\" /></ViewFields><QueryOptions></QueryOptions></mylistitemrequest>",
out ndQuery, out ndViewFields, out ndQueryOptions);
XmlNode ndListItems;
XmlNodeList oNodes;
XmlNode folderNode;
string folderPath;
// Get top level folders
ndListItems = objLists.GetListItems("Общие документы", null, ndQuery, ndViewFields, null, ndQueryOptions, null);
oNodes = ndListItems.ChildNodes;
// Find the node with root folders
folderNode = GetFoldersNode(oNodes);
// Find the "Входящие" folder
folderPath = FindFolder(folderNode, "Входящие");
FillNodes("<mylistitemrequest><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=\"FSObjType\" /><Value Type=\"Lookup\">1</Value></Eq></Where></Query><ViewFields><FieldRef Name=\"EncodedAbsUrl\"/><FieldRef Name=\"ID\" /><FieldRef Name=\"Title\" /></ViewFields><QueryOptions><Folder>" + folderPath + "</Folder></QueryOptions></mylistitemrequest>",
out ndQuery, out ndViewFields, out ndQueryOptions);
// Get subfolder contents
ndListItems = objLists.GetListItems("Общие документы", null, ndQuery, ndViewFields, null, ndQueryOptions, null);
oNodes = ndListItems.ChildNodes;
// At this point I am getting zero rows, even though I should be getting multiple folders
// Following code digs deeper down the hierarchy of folders, but it's not working because nothing arrives at this point
// Get node with folders
folderNode = GetFoldersNode(oNodes);
// Get "Командировки" folder
folderPath = FindFolder(folderNode, "Командировки");
// Get subfolder contents
ndListItems = objLists.GetListItems("Общие документы", null, ndQuery, ndViewFields, null, ndQueryOptions, null);
oNodes = ndListItems.ChildNodes;
...
}
When I evaluate the oNodes after the "Get subfolder contents" code, I see zero rows, while there should be a list of subfolders of the "Входящие" folder.
