Application_BeginRequest Event in global.asax in sharepoint - visual-studio

First, I need to know where I can find global.asax file. I have already build Sharepoint Site, Now I need to create New Project in Visual Studio and then I need to trigger Application_BeginRequest so that I can get the User's Properties when Application Runs. So, how to find this file and how to inherit this to get Application_BeginRequest Event to run.

SharePoint default global.asax file path:
To custom http module in SharePoint, create a class inherit from IHttpModule and register it into SharePoint config file.

Update Salesforce Web Reference

So I've added a custom field to a Salesforce Object and need to update the Web Reference and proxy classes created from said web reference. What I'm doing is replacing the existing WSDL file in the Web Reference folder with the new Enterprise WSDL file. I then right-click the Web Reference instance (in this case, SFDC) and select "Update Web Reference" however nothing happens. In fact, the updated WSDL file reverts back to its original state and the proxy class file does change at all.
Am I missing a step here?
I actually accomplished this by deleting the web reference, than creating a new one, which added the new field.

Set Permissions on SharePoint Application Pages

I have developed a number of application pages using visual studio 2010 and deployed them on SharePoint 2010.
All the pages have been extended from LayoutsPageBase.
Currently all the application pages are accessible by any authenticated users. However I would like to allow certain groups/permission to access these pages and disallow access for other groups/permissions.
My question:
How can I set the permissions for application pages to be accessible only by certain groups on the SharePoint level and on the code level?
Override a combination of these properties from LayoutsPageBase:
RequireDefaultLayoutsRights
RequireSiteAdministrator
RightsRequired
SupportsReadOnlySite
These properties are used by the CheckRights method to grant or deny access to an application page.
If you need something more specific than these properties offer, set RightsCheckModes to None and then write your own code that throws the following exception if the user should not have access:
SPUtility.HandleAccessDenied((Exception) new UnauthorizedAccessException());
Following the convention of the LayoutsPageBase class, this custom code should be called by your override of either the OnLoadComplete or OnPreInit events.

Dynamically set URL of web service

Scenario: I'm running code on the client that connects to a server and uses a web service to retrieve data about a SharePoint list. I'm using the Visual Studio 2010 "service reference" to get a web service for my SP Site and get my data from the list. It works. Now how do I go about coding it such that when I want to move from Test to Production, my web service calls will still work? Note that the web service is a SharePoint web service, I did not write it. I am only using it. Is what I am suggesting possible? I do have the ability to ensure that the Site is the exact same (except for URLS) on both environments (e.g. backup the SP site and put it on production). Thanks for any suggestions.
Summary:
Basically I'm looking for the best way to go from test to production without re-compiling my code which consumes the SP web service. Also, as a side note, if anyone knows how similar the test/production sharepoint sites have to be, [in order for the web service to work on both without anything but the URL being changed].. that would be helpful info.
Solution
The project configuration file can be used to specify the web service location. The .svcdatamap and other files in the VS project are for design time use only, and the URL which is actually used to connect to the SharePoint web service is passed as an argument to the System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceContext object. This is only tangentially related, but to create your own WCF web service see this link. BTW, the web service will work without recompilation anywhere the SharePoint List has the same List name and the column you're querying has the same name.
As far as I know, Visual Studio Tools for Office projects allow you to have an app.config file in your project. I'd expect that Visual Studio created the app.config file and added the necessary configuration settings related to the web service reference. In any case, you need to store the correct web service url somewhere - app.config, registry or even a database.
If you are not able to store the web service endpoint address information in the app.config file, there's a way to configure the proxy manually.
If it's a .asmx reference added as a legacy "Web Reference" in Visual Studio then all you need to do is set the Url property value of the proxy object before you call any web service methods. For example:
MyASMXWebService proxy = new MyASMXWebService();
proxy.Url = "web service url";
proxy.HelloWorld();
If it's a .svc WCF service reference then things get a bit more complicated. You'll need to create your web service endpoint programmatically. For example:
BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
EndpointAddress endpoint = new EndpointAddress("web service url");
ChannelFactory<IMyWCFWebService> factory = new ChannelFactory<IMyWCFWebService>(binding, endpoint);
IMyWCFWebService proxy = factory.CreateChannel();
proxy.DoWork();
Since SharePoint services (SVC) do not provide a proxy, option 2 will not work. References to both locations must be included in your application and then use a parm to differentiate production from test. I believe 2013 will likely correct this bug.
You have to edit the URL in your project's web.config
Simple SharePoint example:
MyService.ListsSoapClient client = new MyService.ListsSoapClient();
client.Endpoint.Address = "site url"+"/_vti_bin/lists.asmx";

ASP.NET Membership Password Recovery E-mail [duplicate]

I am working on a simple portal application using the ASP.NET membership and login controls. I would like to use the PasswordRecovery control to send emails containing forgotten passwords, however my portal requires localization. I have an existing Content Management System that I am pulling the localized strings out of and I would like to link the PasswordRecovery control to that system.
But, it appears that the PasswordRecovery control will ONLY accept a .txt file for the email body...the property is PasswordRecovery1.MailDefinition.BodyFileName
I do not want to use a file on disk, I would like to use the localized content in my CMS.
Is there any way to do this? It occurred to me that I might be able to use the SendingMail event to send my OWN email through the normal System.Net namespace, but that seems sorta cludgy...
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Max
Try handling the SendingMail event of the PasswordRecovery control. In that event, set the e.Message.Body and e.Message.Subject properties to your localized text.
Found this by googling "BodyFileName localization":
http://forums.asp.net/t/1118242.aspx:
Just bind the property to a key in
your page's localresource file. The
page's local resource file is the file
located in a subdirectory called
app_localresources in your page's
directory. Just use visual studio's
"tools -> create local resource"
option in design view for it be
created for you.
In that file, create a string
key/value pair with something like
Name: myBodyFileName
Value: myDefaultBodyFile.txt
Then bind this to the BodyFileName
property of the login control with
something like
'>
Then just create the sattelite local
resource files for other cultures and
map that key/value pair in those
resources to other body text files.
By the way, if you used visual studio
to create the resource file for you,
then the binding may have been done
for you automatticaly. Just search for
a
"MyChangePasswordControlResource1.BodyFileName"
key in the resource file or something
similar.

How can I get started using a WSDL file with Visual Studio it's in the root of the project instead of being hosted on the internet somewhere

I've been tasked when integrating a web form into Oracle CRM on Demand (Siebel) using web services. I've been given the WSDL, and some high level documentation from Oracle.
Well, I knew I was in trouble when I tried to add the WSDL as Web Reference and I was asked to enter an URL. I have the WSDL file in the root of the project, but I have no idea how to link to it.
So, I guess that means I need to learn up on web services using C# and Visual Studio. I have a Safari Books Online account, so I can look up most anything.
It's been a while, but I'm OK at the form part. I just need help connecting and using the web service.
Edit #1: Ok, to clarify my question: I am well aware on how to use web services in general. My specific question is how take this WSDL file and do something with it. If the WSDL was hosted somewhere else, I could just add it as a Web Reference. But, I have the file in the project itself and that is what I am having problems with.
The web reference asks for a URL but you can point it to a local file. Just paste the local file path of your WSDL in and it should work.
Further Clarification of Web Reference URL vs URL to access Web Service
Web Reference URL is used to generate and update wrapper classes for WSDL/Web Service. It is not the URL used at runtime to access Web Service.
URL property on generated wrapper classes is used to access actual web service at runtime.
Update:
It should add a path in the web.config or app.config/settings file (Depending on your project type) similiar to the following:
<setting name="Namespace_WebReferenceName" serializeAs="String">
<value>XXX</value>
</setting>
Which should map to a URL property in the generated web reference wrapper classes. You can modify the URL property programmatically to point wherever you want:
Dim shipService As ShipService = New ShipService() 'Initialize the service - where ShipService is the Generated WebReference Wrapper CLass
shipService.Url = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("FedExOnlineURL")
