Getting files/folders from sharepoint via the api in c#

I'm trying to link a c# application to a sharepoint directory, so I can create folders, download and upload files. However I am strugling with connecting to the correct folder.
I can retrieve the content from allitems.aspx, but I am not sure how to actually get the content from folder.
I have tried using the ClientContext - something like this:
ClientContext cxt = new ClientContext("https://xx.sharepoint.com/sites/");
cxt.Credentials = GetCredentials();
List list = cxt.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Kontrakter");
var test = list.Views;
var test1 = cxt.Web.Lists;
cxt.Load(test1);
cxt.Load(list);
cxt.Load(test);
var a = 4;
var fullUri = new Uri("https://xx.sharepoint.com/sites/yy/Kontrakter/AllItems.aspx");
//var folder = cxt.Web.GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl(fullUri.AbsolutePath);
using (var rootCtx = new ClientContext(fullUri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority)))
{
rootCtx.Credentials = GetCredentials();
Uri webUri = Web.WebUrlFromPageUrlDirect(rootCtx, fullUri);
using (var ctx1 = new ClientContext(webUri))
{
ctx1.Credentials = GetCredentials();
var list1 = ctx1.Web.GetList(fullUri.AbsolutePath);
ctx1.Load(list1.RootFolder.Files);
ctx1.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(list.RootFolder.Files.Count);
}
}
or via normal api calls like this:
https://xx.sharepoint.com/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Kontrakter/Forms')/Files
The only way I can find some data is if I look into 'Shared documents/Forms'
I'm having problems understanding the directory structure and how I can actually find the content of files/folders.
Thanks in advance :)

Turned out I was missing a /sites in one of my uris.

SSAS automation in c# - rename AAS attribute in c# pragmatically

I need help on SSAS automation in C#. I want to automate the rename the display name for the AAS attributes.
To automate the full process of renaming using c#. please help on this. kindly share any links or article on this

The MS Documentation for AMO is here
Add the AMO nuget packge to your Visual Studio project
Then, you can connect to your SSAS Server from your code and change the dimension attribute.
E.g.,
private static void UpdateAttribute()
{
var serverName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ServerName"];
var databaseName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DatabaseName"];
var cubeName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CubeName"];
var dimensionName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DimensionName"];
var attributeName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AttributeName"];
//Server
var server = new Server();
server.Connect(serverName);
//Database
var db = server.Databases.FindByName(databaseName);
//Cube
var cube = db.Cubes.FindByName(cubeName);
//dim
var dim = db.Dimensions.FindByName(dimensionName);
//attribute
var attribute = dim.Attributes.FindByName(attributeName);
var newAttributeName = $"{attribute.Name}_New";
attribute.Name = newAttributeName;
//this will update the dimension in the Server
dim.Update();
}
Result
The original attribute name was "Category" and now it is changed to "Category_New" in the Product dimension

Moving files with Google Drive API v3

Im trying to move a file from one folder to another using the Google Drive API v3. I found documentation how to this here. I used the .NET sample code from the documentation page and created a method that looks like this:
public ActionResult MoveFile(string fileToMove, string destination)
{
DriveService service = new DriveService(new BaseClientService.Initializer
{
HttpClientInitializer = <USER CREDENTIAL>,
ApplicationName = "APPNAME"
});
var searchFiles = service.Files.List();
searchFiles.Corpus = FilesResource.ListRequest.CorpusEnum.User;
searchFiles.Q = "name = '" + fileToMove + "'";
searchFiles.Fields = "files(*)";
string fileToMoveId = searchFiles.Execute().Files[0].Id;
searchFiles.Q = "name = '" + destination + "'";
string destinationId = searchFiles.Execute().Files[0].Id;
//Code used from documentation
// Retrieve the existing parents to remove
var getRequest = service.Files.Get(fileToMoveId);
getRequest.Fields = "parents";
var file = getRequest.Execute();
var previousParents = String.Join(",", file.Parents);
// Move the file to the new folder
var updateRequest = service.Files.Update(file, fileToMoveId);
updateRequest.Fields = "id, parents";
updateRequest.AddParents = destinationId;
updateRequest.RemoveParents = previousParents;
file = updateRequest.Execute();
return RedirectToAction("Files", new {folderId = destinationId});
}
When I execute this code I get the following error:
The parents field is not directly writable in update requests. Use the
addParents and removeParents parameters instead.
The error doesn't really makes sense to me because this code sample came from the documentation page itself. I can't figure out what other paramters they mean. What addParents and removeParents parameters do they mean? Are updateRequest.AddParents and updateRequest.RemoveParents not the right parameters?

Ok here is the problem.
var updateRequest = service.Files.Update(file, fileToMoveId);
The method is requiring that you send a body of a file to be updated. This normally makes sense as any changes you want to make you can add to the body.
Now the problem you are having is that you got your file from a file.get. Which is totally normal. This is how you should be doing it. THe problem is there are some fields in that file that you cant update. So by sending the full file the API is rejecting your update. If you check Files: update under Request body you will see which fiends are updateable.
Issue:
Now this is either a problem with the client library or the API I am going to have to track down a few people at Google to see which is the case.
Fix:
I did some testing and sending an empty file object as the body works just fine. The file is moved.
var updateRequest = service.Files.Update(new Google.Apis.Drive.v3.Data.File(), fileToMove.Id);
updateRequest.AddParents = directoryToMove.Id;
updateRequest.RemoveParents = fileToMove.Parents[0];
var movedFile = updateRequest.Execute();

This method works well when working in your own drive, but not in a team drive where a file (folder) can only have 1 parent strictly. I do not have the solution in a team drive

create a new record in service entity

I have seen example of creating Accounts Entity records, Contacts entity records through C#, i wanted to know how do we create a service record in CRM through C#(.net) code.
Eg: We already have "Plumbing service" record in service entity view. So i wanted to create a new record in service entity through C# code (early or late binding doesn't matter).
Can someone help me on this with code.

Quite some XML is required when creating this Services from code. Additionally, before you can create a Service you will need to create a ResourceSpec and a ConstraintBasedGroup.
First create a ConstraintBasedGroup:
var bu = context.BusinessUnitSet.First().ToEntityReference();
var cbg = new ConstraintBasedGroup
{
BusinessUnitId = bu,
Name = "CBG1",
Constraints = "<Constraints><Constraint><Expression><Body>false</Body><Parameters><Parameter name=\"resource\"/></Parameters></Expression></Constraint></Constraints>"
};
var cbgId = OrganizationService.Create(cbg);
Then create a ResourceSpec:
var resSpec = new ResourceSpec
{
BusinessUnitId = bu,
Name = "RS1",
RequiredCount = 1,
ObjectiveExpression = "<Expression><Body>udf\"Random\"(factory,resource,appointment,request,leftoffset,rightoffset)</Body><Parameters><Parameter name=\"factory\"/><Parameter name=\"resource\"/><Parameter name=\"appointment\"/><Parameter name=\"request\"/><Parameter name=\"leftoffset\"/><Parameter name=\"rightoffset\"/></Parameters><Properties EvaluationInterval=\"P0D\" evaluationcost=\"0\"/></Expression>",
GroupObjectId = cbgId
};
var resSpecId = OrganizationService.Create(resSpec);
And finally, you can create your Service:
var svc = new Service
{
Name = "Service1",
Granularity = "FREQ=MINUTELY;INTERVAL=15",
ResourceSpecId = new EntityReference(ResourceSpec.EntityLogicalName, resSpecId),
InitialStatusCode = new OptionSetValue(0),
Duration = 15
};
OrganizationService.Create(svc);
I would suggest you create similar things using the UI of CRM in case you are wondering about the specific formats of the XML you require. The XML I used in my examples is pretty much the default XML CRM generates.

How do I find a customer's files using SuiteTalk?

I am attempting to create a .NET program that calls the NetSuite web services to return a list of files associated to a customer.
I have set the ShopperJoin to the customer I've searched for, but the web call still returns all files in the File Cabinet.
FileSearch file = new FileSearch();
CustomerSearchBasic custBasic = new CustomerSearchBasic();
custBasic.entityId= new SearchStringField();
custBasic.entityId.#operator = SearchStringFieldOperator.contains ;
custBasic.entityId.operatorSpecified = true;
file.shopperJoin = custBasic;
file.basic = new FileSearchBasic();custBasic.entityId.searchValue = "ID";
SearchResult result = _service.search(file);
I am using the 2015 SuiteTalk wsdl
https://webservices.na1.netsuite.com/wsdl/v2015_1_0/netsuite.wsdl

Have you checked if the customer id and the folder id are the same? (just a hunch)

After contacting NetSuite support, I learned that I had taken the wrong approach.
Files can be filtered based on customer via a customer search.
I was able to create a CustomerSearchAdvanced request that retrieves associated files.
When you create that, you add the columns you want to the FileJoin object in the request, and it will find the files based on whatever customer criteria you set up.
CustomerSearchAdvanced attachSearch = new CustomerSearchAdvanced();
SearchColumnStringField[] stringcols = new SearchColumnStringField[1];
stringcols[0] = new SearchColumnStringField();
SearchColumnStringField[] stringcols = new SearchColumnStringField[1];
stringcols[0] = new SearchColumnStringField();
attachSearch.columns = new CustomerSearchRow();
attachSearch.columns.fileJoin = new FileSearchRowBasic();
attachSearch.columns.fileJoin.internalId = selcols;
attachSearch.columns.fileJoin.description = stringcols;
attachSearch.columns.fileJoin.name = stringcols;
