so I have a script that essentially iterates through a bunch of delimited text files and uploads the images from said files to a SharePoint site. It works great, expect with one minor problem, I have a couple of images that are >4MB in size and these give me a (400) Bad Request error when the script attempts to upload them.
Code below:
class spImageUpload()
{
private static System.Collections.Generic.List<string> keywords;
private static NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password, domain);
private static ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(site name);
private static Web site = clientContext.Web;
private static List list = site.Lists.GetByTitle(listName);
private static FileCreationInformation newFile = new FileCreationInformation();
private static Image image = new Image();
private static FileIO fo = new FileIO();
public SharePointAccess()
{
sharepointLogin();
uploadImage();
}
private static void updateFields()
{
//Loads the site list
clientContext.Load(list);
//Creates a ListItemCollection object from list
ListItemCollection listItems = list.GetItems(CamlQuery.CreateAllItemsQuery());
//Loads the listItems
clientContext.Load(listItems);
//Executes the previous queries on the server
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//For each listItem...
foreach (var listItem in listItems)
{
//Writes out the item ID and Title
//Console.WriteLine("Id: {0} Title: {1}", listItem.Id, listItem["Title"]);
//Loads the files from the listItem
clientContext.Load(listItem.File);
//Executes the previous query
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Writes out the listItem File Name
//Console.WriteLine("listItem File Name: {0}", listItem.File.Name);
//Looks for the most recently uploaded file, if found...
if (listItem.File.Name.Contains(fileName))
{
title = fileName;
//Changes the Title field value
listItem["Title"] = title;
//Changes the Keywords field value using the keywords list
foreach (var keyword in keywords)
{
listItem["Keywords"] += keyword;
//Writes out the item ID, Title, and Keywords
//Console.WriteLine("Id: {0} Title: {1} Keywords: {2}", listItem.Id, listItem["Title"], listItem["Keywords"]);
}
}
//Remember changes...
listItem.Update();
}
//Executes the previous query and ensures changes are committed to the server
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
}
private static void uploadImage()
{
try
{
fo.loadFile();
foreach (var img in fo.lImageSet)
{
Console.WriteLine("Image Name: {0}", img.getName());
}
foreach (var img in fo.lImageSet)
{
DateTime start;
DateTime end;
start = DateTime.Now;
//Sets file path equal to the path value stored in the current image of lImageSet
filePath = img.getPath();
//Writes out to the console indicating what's been stored in filePath
Console.WriteLine("Image Path: {0}", filePath);
//Reads in the contents of the file
newFile.Content = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
//Sets the file name equal to the name value stored in the current image of lImageSet
fileName = img.getName() + ".jpeg";
//Sets the URL path for the file
newFile.Url = fileName;
//Creates a List object of type String
keywords = new System.Collections.Generic.List<string>();
//For each keyword in the current image stored in lImageSet...
foreach (var keyword in img.lTags)
{
//...add that keyword to the newly created list
keywords.Add(keyword);
}
//Uploads the file to the picture library
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File uploadFile = list.RootFolder.Files.Add(newFile);
//Loads uploadFile method
clientContext.Load(uploadFile);
//Executes previous query
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Calls the updateFields method to update the associated fields of the most recently uploaded image
updateFields();
end = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan span = end.Subtract(start);
//Writes out to the console to indicate the file has finished being uploaded
Console.WriteLine("Uploaded: {0}", fileName + " Done!");
Console.WriteLine("Time Elapsed: {0}", span.Seconds + "seconds");
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}
}
private static void sharepointLogin()
{
try
{
//Loads credentials needed for authentication
clientContext.Credentials = credentials;
//Loads the site
clientContext.Load(site);
//Loads the site list
clientContext.Load(list);
//Executes the previous queries on the server
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Writes out the title of the SharePoint site to the console
Console.WriteLine("Title: {0}", site.Title);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}
}
}
Right now, I have to do everything remotely using the client-object model. I can’t use SharePoint.Administration to change the max upload size. So does anyone know how, using the client-object model I can get past this problem of not being able to upload files greater than 4MB? Thank you in advance for any help!
This is because of the WCF limit for the client object model. You need to run this on the server from a SharePoint management shell with admin rights:
