I am getting Error at the UpdateStatus Method:

string changexml =
((TextBox)gvr.FindControl("lblPSI")).Text;

You appear to be using the QUEUEWEBSERVICE path for the Statusing web
service... Also, does the user account you are running the application
as have access to the application?

Can you post the full error you receive when attempting to execute this
code?

Hi
i am not using Queing Service just a Naming Convention Error....Sorry....:(

and the Error only says General Security Access Denied that's it,

is there anything wrong with my code.

and can you help me create a Windows App or is there any code available for
Win App so that i will run this on Admin USer only.

if you can please help me out.

Thanks

Nothing is wrong, per se... it depends on what you have set for the
various variables in your code. The biggest thing to remember when
working with the Statusing PSI is that it only allows operations for the
current user. This means that most of the time you need to use
impersonation. In general, when you receive a
GeneralSecurityAccessDenied exception when calling UpdateStatus it's
because you are trying to update the status of an assignment not owned
by the user you are authenticated as.

Since you are using DefaultCredentials in your application, an excellent
example would be if you are running this application as
DOMAIN\ssanderlin but you are trying to update an assignment for
DOMAIN\parth. This will not work. You would need to change the code to
use impersonation so that the PSI believes you are DOMAIN\parth and then
execute UpdateStatus.

There is a great deal of documentation in the SDK and on the net about
using impersonation... give it a shot. If you run into a problem
implementing impersonation in your code, let us know and we will get it
fixed up for you.

Hi,

Thanks for the Reply & sorry for the delay from my side.


Certainly i will use Impersonation and Let you know about that what has
happend,

but mean while i was using Administrator's Account, and trying to update the
task Of other users using this account my doubt is still i will receive this
Error even if i an using Administrator's Account


I think it might just happen that Admin doesnt have proper Right to Update,
I will let that you know as well.

Thanks again for the Replies and spending your time for my Problem.

No problem -- glad to help. You cannot submit status on other people's

The Statusing web service was designed for use from the Outlook plug-in,
so it only handles operations for the currently authenticated user.

Here's a high-level overview of what you need to do to lay the
foundation for impersonation:
1) Add a web reference to Statusing web service.
2) Create a derived class of the Statusing class that inherits from the
Statusing class in the web reference (e.g. StatusingDerived).
3) Follow Procedure #3 at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa974413.aspx to complete the
derived class.

See Procedure #4 in the above link for an actual impersonation
application. Essentially you'll want to:
1) Use the GetResourceUid method in Step 3 of Procedure #4 to retrieve
the GUID of the resource you want to impersonate.
2) Create and configure an instance of the StatusingDerived class.
3) Call the SetImpersonationContext method of the StatusingDerived
class.
4) Generate the changeXml for the status update.
5) Call the UpdateStatus method of StatusingDerived and pass in the
changeXml you just generated.
6) Call the SubmitStatus method of the StatusingDerived class and pass
in the assignment GUID of the assignment you just updated.

Non-impersonated sample code for UpdateStatus and SubmitStatus can be
found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/websvcstatusing.statusing.updatestatus.aspx,
and guidance on changeXml can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb428819.aspx and here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb428836.aspx.

If you have any specific questions on the impersonation, please feel
free to post your impersonation method up to the NG and I'll be glad to
help with it.

Fortunately or otherwise, you have chosen to undertake one of the more
complicated aspects of PS Development... if you are having a lot of
trouble with this, you may want to consider hiring an experienced PS
development consultant to do this work for you.
