SP Error: A Web Part you attempted to change is either invalid or has been removed by another user.

Today I tried to get a custom Sharepoint web part to work. It was no fun because I had a pretty simple (once you figured it out) and tedious error.

I added my custom web part on a standard SharePoint web part page and tried to edit the web part properties. I tried to just click on OK, Apply or Cancel I always got the following annoying message:
A Web Part you attempted to change is either invalid or has been removed by another user.
After spending a couple of hours, even with an experienced collegue, I finally found an interesting article:
http://williamvanstrien.blogspot.com/2010/01/alluserswebpart-and-spwebapplicationapp.html
William pointed out that it is a really bad thing to set the ID of a webpart control:
"...When you add a control within an .aspx file, Visual Studio automatically add a default 'ID' property to the control. For the default WebPart however this is not needed, the property is actually set when creating a publishing page off this PageLayout. But the mere presence of it in the default part results in SharePoint detecting a concurrent update..."

Hence I removed the ID property of my web part and everything was good!


Removing the ID was the very simple trick to this issue.

Thank you Microsoft for providing us developers/users so meaningful error messages.

    In my case, we were out of disk space in SQL.

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete

Regarding SPFieldMultiLineText (Add HTML/URL content to a field) programmatically

I recently tried so set some HTML content in a SharePoint list column of type SPFieldMultiLineText. My first approach was this piece of code: SPFieldMultiLineText field = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName( "Associated Documents" ) as SPFieldMultiLineText; StringBuilder docList = new StringBuilder(); docList.Append( " " ); foreach (DataRow docRow in addDocs) { DataRow[] parent = dr.Table.DataSet.Tables[0].Select( "DOK_ID=" + docRow[ "DOK_MGD_ID" ].ToString()); if (parent != null && parent.Length > 0) { docList.AppendFormat( " {1} " , parent[0][ "FilePath" ].ToString(), parent[0][ "Title" ].ToString()); } } if (docList.Length > 0) { // remove trailing tag docList.Remove(docList.Length-5, 5); } docList.Append( " " ); string newValue = docList.ToString(); item[field.Title] = newValue; What this code does is to get all associated documents to the main document and to add these docu

CRM 2016 SP1: Solution import failed with Solution With Id = 12ac16ec-41d5-1685-a230-0b1c31499250 Does Not Exist

Importing Solutions with the upgrade solution (holding solution) option is still not stable with CRM 2016 SP1 On-Premise. Ronald Lemmon already posted the same issue on his blog: http://ronaldlemmen.blogspot.de/2015/11/solution-with-id-86ac16ec-41d7-4685.html I expected it to be fixed with SP1 but it is still happening every now and then. With this query and the solution id (guid) of the error message you are able to find records in the ProcessTriggerBase table that reference the guid of a failed import from a holding solution that is not existing in the system anymore. select * from ProcessTriggerBase where solutionid = 'YOUR_SOLUTION_GUID' Due to this reference to a solution id not existing in the system you will not be able to import a new version of the target solution to be updated. What I did and this is probably not a supported solution is to update the guid to the actual target solution that is currently deployed in the system. To find out the id of
