SharePoint Error: “The language-neutral solution package was not found”

Last night while developing an event listener custom list, I ran into this error,

The solution to this problem is, Restart your visual studio. And it will be back to normal.

Set Item level permission in sharepoint through coding

Here is the way we can add item level permission for a user on an item,
SPRoleDefinition oUserRole;
SPRoleAssignment oUserRoleAssignment;
SPListItem itm;
SPSite site = null;
SPWeb web = null;
string siteUrl = Request.Url.ToString();

site = new SPSite(siteUrl);
web = site.OpenWeb();
SPGroup grp = web.Groups[groupname];

itm=web.Lists["Shared Documents"].Items[0];

oUserRole = web.RoleDefinitions.GetByType(SPRoleType.Administrator);

oUserRoleAssignment = new SPRoleAssignment(loginName, emailId, userDisplayName, notes);//for user
or
oUserRoleAssignment = new SPRoleAssignment(grp);//for group

oUserRoleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add(oUserRole);
itm.RoleAssignments.Add(oUserRoleAssignment);
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
itm.Update();
web.Update();
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

This is useful for setting item level permission via code.

Sharepoint site does not exists at mentioned URL

Hi Guys,

While working on the Sharepoint, I came across this error “Sharepoint site does not exists at mentioned URL”. On searching something I found that we’ll have to change the URL under the Project Properties.

Enter Sharepoint Site URL
