How to use Controls in sharepoint without using the spcontext.current.

Question

Sharepoint Controls require SPContext.current.site/web to work, but i am opening many sites using site= new spsite(siteID); and i want to use Controls. So do u have any idea or available class to use asp.net controls in sharepoint?

Answer 1

//open site and web sSiteID = Request.QueryString["siteID"]; sWebID = Request.QueryString["parentWebID"]; site = new SPSite(new Guid(sSiteID)); web = site.OpenWeb(new Guid(sWebID)); //show the properties of the list in the edit form (...) if ((list.AllowContentTypes == true) && (list.ContentTypesEnabled == true)) { (...)

                SharePointWebControls oSharePointWebControls = new SharePointWebControls(); 

       cntrl = oSharePointWebControls.GetSharePointControls(field, list, item, SPControlMode.Edit, "");

}}

public Control GetSharePointControls(SPField field, SPList list, SPListItem item, SPControlMode mode, string strType) { switch (field.FieldRenderingControl.ToString()) { case "Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.TextField": return CreateTextFieldControl(field, list, item, mode);

}

#region Create SharePoint Controls private static Control CreateTextFieldControl(SPField field, SPList list, SPListItem item, SPControlMode mode) { TextField tf = new TextField(); //tf.EnableViewState=false; tf.ListId = list.ID; if (item != null) { tf.ItemId = item.ID; } tf.FieldName = field.Title; tf.ID = "Field_" + field.Id; //tf.CssClass = "spsControl"; tf.ControlMode = mode; //check if the field has a default value if (field.DefaultValue != "null" && field.DefaultValue != null) { tf.Text = field.DefaultValue.ToString(); } try { RequiredFieldValidator cntrlValidator = ((RequiredFieldValidator)tf.Controls[0].Controls[3]); } catch (Exception ex) { }

        return tf;
    }

all sharepoint controls i am using are working and tf is returned correctly, but when i am not in the current site or the current web this exception occured : InvalidArgumentException in the control. I guess these controls does not work outside the current site or web, and i have to use asp.net control? Is it right or is there another solution? Thanks in advance...
