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

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

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

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

Hope this helps

Export grid values in excel

Following code helps you to import grid values to excel,

//Import System.IO in your application for StreamWriter Object

//note: excel_file represents the complete physical address of excel file eg  C:/myexcel.xls
public  void export_datagridview_to_excel(DataGridView dgv, string excel_file)
{
int cols;
//open file
StreamWriter wr = new StreamWriter(excel_file);

//determine the number of columns and write columns to file
cols = dgv.Columns.Count;
for (int i = 0; i < cols; i++)
{
wr.Write(dgv.Columns[i].Name.ToString().ToUpper() + “\t”);
}

wr.WriteLine();

//write rows to excel file
for (int i = 0; i < (dgv.Rows.Count - 1); i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++)
{
if (dgv.RowsIdea.Cells[j].Value != null)
wr.Write(dgv.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value + “\t”);
else
{
wr.Write(”\t”);
}
}

wr.WriteLine();
}

//close file
wr.Close();
}

Add another application as child of BlogEngine.net

I have been getting good response for my post Integrating blog engine into existing site. One of the guy asked me this question on how can we do the opposite? He had a BlogEngine as parent site and needed some other site to be child of BlogEngine. So He posted on that and this is the answer he got for his question.

You need to make this change in your web.config file. If you want to have a website as child of BlogEngine

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
 <system.web>
 ..... existing content .....
 </system.web>
</location>

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
 <system.webServer>
 ..... existing content .....
 </system.webServer>
</location>
