A freeware browser for SharePoint object model, providing C# context script support, real object structure research, object property modification via browser window, prompt testing of code segments and any type library support.
MAPILab Explorer for SharePoint is a highly functional software instrument for developers, designed to simplify the creation of solutions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The program offers two powerful tools that can greatly assist in the development process.
The first tool is a browser for exploring the SharePoint object model, which utilizes .NET Reflection technology to display all objects, methods, and properties, not just limited to the ones that are familiar. The browser also allows for the modification of object properties and the marking of objects for usage in context scripts.
The second tool is context scripts on C#, which allow for the calling of any method of any object from scripts. This includes obtaining the values of properties and fields, including those that are hidden, such as internal, private, and protected. Context scripts are highly effective in the dynamic debugging of code segments, and script codes can be transferred into the code of your product without any significant changes.
MAPILab Explorer can open any number of browser windows and scripts, and with the help of the browser, it is easy to visually find necessary objects, mark them, and pass them over for usage in context scripts. If a script returns an object during script execution, the object is opened in a new browser window. Thanks to .NET Reflection technology, there are no limitations on the types of returned objects.
In addition to providing examples of operations with SharePoint objects, such as sites and lists, the program help file also offers examples of using Windows Forms and Active Directory. The product features include the analysis of both declared and actual object structure, the change of object properties from the browser window, the prompt testing of code segments of your product, and the easy transfer of code segments of your product to scripts for debugging and back. The program also allows for the usage of any properties and fields of SharePoint objects, including hidden ones, and any type libraries, such as Windows Forms.
The program provides full freedom of action to the developer and considerably reduces the time spent on the examination and debugging of SharePoint solutions. Best of all, the software is freeware, making it a highly accessible tool for developers of all skill levels.
