Hi Ramprasad,

Thanks for the nice post. Everything worked, and I was quite impressed that I didn’t have to load this webpart into the webpart gallery – it was already available to add onto any page.

However, for some reason, the webpart displays all the list data. It is not using the query where we just want AssignedTo = Ramprasad. (I created dummy data to test this).

Any ideas why all data is being returned?

Thank you,

Ashok

Hi Ram,

Nice Article.

When I try to build ,I’m getting an error that says: The type of namespace name ‘Dataset’ could not be found. Can you tell me the issue here ?

And the GUID you mentioned should be MySPList GUID ? Right

Thanks dude for this Nice post.
I have one problem this is somewhat how related to your post. I am working on an intranet portal having a aspx page called visitingCard.aspx and that is sharepoint list’s default page comes when clicking new button having columns username, Department, Designation, email, phone no etc.
This form is user specific I mean as any user log in by its account (User name and password) and click on this page(visitingCard.aspx) all the fields in the page should be filled automatically related to that user.
And this data is coming from active directory.

Plz help me to do this.

@MOSS TEchie:
The exception is caused by .ToString(). What happenned here is that your item["Middle Name"] column contained no value. To get around this issue:
string middleName=item["Middle Name"]==null ? string.Empty : SPEncode.HtmlEncode(item["Middle Name"].ToString();

Also notice that the result SPListItemCollection supports .GetDataTable() to convert your results to a data table.

Is it possible to use the SPEncode.HtmlEncode(item["Middle Name"].ToString()to get non-required fields??
it gives an exception of
“Object reference not set to an instance of an object” since that row does not have data for this column

Hello Ramprasad
i saw your code..actually i am trying to do the same thing only difference is that i don’t want to use the query to fetch the data. I want to fetch the data from the list which i had already created in sharepoint site and want to display that data in a datagrid.Can you tell me what all changes i can make in the existing code.
