The system cannot find the file specified.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.AI.Web’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The full error looks like the below:

Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.AI.Web’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.AI.Web’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Just to give a background, I was creating an asp.net application and add the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll and Microsoft.SharePoint.client.Runtime.dll from NuGet packages.

To resolve this, you can add the “Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web” dll from NuGet.

To do so, Right click on References inside Solution Explorer and click on “Manage NuGet Packages” like below:

could not load file or assembly 'microsoft.ai.web' or one of its dependencies

Then, you can search for “Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web” and then click on Install.

But in my case, the dll was already added. So, I need to update the dll. In the same NuGet manager,

Click on the Updates tab, select “Microsft.ApplicationInsights.Web” and then click on Update. This will be updated to the latest version.

Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.AI.Web or one of its dependencies

Now the error “Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.AI.Web’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.” will not come.

Install Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web from NuGet Package Manager Console

There is another approach, we can install Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web from NuGet Package Manager Console.

From Visual Studio, click on Tools -> NuGet package manager -> Package Manager Console.

Install Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web from NuGet Package Manager Console

Then, in the console, write the below command,

Install-Package Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web

To install it into a particular project, then run the below command.

Install-Package Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web <ProjectName>
Install Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web from NuGet Package Manager Console

Once you click on Enter after writing the above command, it will install Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web, and you will not get the error.

Update Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web from NuGet Package Manager Console

Suppose you have already installed Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web, and still you are getting the above error? Then, you can update Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web from NuGet Package Manager Console.

Right-click on the Reference folder and then click on “Manage NuGet Packages…“, then you can search for “Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web” and there you can click on Update to the latest version like below:

Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.AI.Web’ or one of its dependencies

The error can come in WCF services, windows applications, or web applications. Every time you need to install Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web from NuGet Package Manager.

You can also check an error that comes in an asp.net application.

I hope this tutorial will help to resolve the Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.AI.Web or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified error.

SharePoint Document Set vs Folder: Organizing Your Documents Effectively https://www.spguides.com/sharepoint-document-sets-vs-folder/ https://www.spguides.com/sharepoint-document-sets-vs-folder/#comments Wed, 14 Feb 2024 08:03:28 +0000 https://www.sharepointsky.com/?p=7964 read more...]]> When managing documents in SharePoint, understanding the difference between a document set and a folder is crucial for efficient content organization. Both help users manage and store documents, but they offer different features and are suitable for various scenarios. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the specifics of SharePoint document sets and folders, helping you decide the best fit for your needs.

Understanding SharePoint Folders

A SharePoint folder is the most basic way to organize content within a document library. Similar to a traditional file system, folders in SharePoint allow users to group files in a central location. They are straightforward containers that enable users to categorize their files, making them easier to find and manage.

However, folders have limitations, especially regarding metadata and searchability. Relying solely on folders can lead to a deep hierarchy that can become cumbersome to navigate.

Exploring SharePoint Document Sets

On the other hand, a document set is a more advanced feature in SharePoint that allows users to group related documents together as a single entity. Document sets extend the capabilities of folders by offering additional features, such as shared metadata, workflows, and versioning across the set.

Document sets are designed to manage grouped content more effectively, making them ideal for project documentation, legal cases, or any scenario where a collection of documents needs to be managed together. They provide a unified interface and experience for managing related documents, which can significantly improve productivity and collaboration.

SharePoint Document Set enables users to group multiple documents supporting a single project or task into a single entity. A Document Set is a group of related documents that can be created in one step and then managed as a single entity.

Technically, the document set is a special content type in the SharePoint term. When we are creating a document set for a document library, we are actually adding a special content type to the document library. Each document set has a special set of attributes, metadata, and object model elements, and each document set has a welcome page, which can also be customized according to the purpose of the document set.

Comparing Features of Folders and Document Sets

Metadata and Content Types

One of the key advantages of document sets in SharePoint is their ability to share common metadata. When you create a document set, you can assign shared metadata, which is automatically applied to all documents within the set. This ensures consistency and makes it easier to search and retrieve content.

SharePoint Folders, in contrast, cannot share metadata across contained documents. Each file within a folder can have its own metadata, but there’s no simple way to enforce consistency without manually updating each item.

Versioning and Workflows

Document sets in SharePoint support versioning for the entire set, meaning you can track and restore changes to the entire collection of documents as a single unit. This is particularly useful when multiple documents are part of a larger process or project.

Folders in SharePoint do not have this capability; versioning in folders applies to individual files rather than the folder as a whole. Workflows can be associated with document sets, allowing for more complex business processes to be automated and applied to the entire set.

Navigation and User Experience

Document sets provide a more streamlined user experience, as they display all the documents in a set within a single view. This can be customized to show important metadata and provide quick access to the documents’ content.

With folders, navigation can become more complex, especially with deep folder hierarchies. Users may have to click through multiple levels to find the documents they need, which can be time-consuming.

Document Set vs. Folder in SharePoint

Here is the summary:

FeatureDocument SetFolder
MetadataShared across documents in the setIndividual to each document
VersioningApplies to the entire document setApplies to individual files
WorkflowsCan be associated with the entire setLimited to individual files
NavigationSingle view for all documents in the setMultiple levels of hierarchy
User ExperienceStreamlined and customizableCan become complex with deep hierarchies

Add document sets to a SharePoint document library

In SharePoint, to work with document sets, we need to do the following things:

  • Activate Document Sets Feature
  • Add Document Set Content type to document library
  • Create document sets

Activate SharePoint Document Sets Feature

SharePoint provides document sets as a feature at the site collection level, and by default, the document sets feature is not activated in the SharePoint site collection. So, to work with Document sets, we first need to activate the document set feature, then we need to enable content type, and then we can add documents.

To activate the feature, open your SharePoint site, click on the Settings icon, and then Site Settings. This will open the Site Settings page. Here, click on “Site collection features” under Site Collection Administration. Then, on the Site collection features page, search for the “Document Sets” feature and activate the feature.

document set vs folder

Add Document Set Content type to SharePoint document library

Once the feature is activated, we can add the “document sets” content type to the document library in SharePoint.

Then open the SharePoint document library, and in the library settings page, click on Advanced Settings under the General Settings page. Then, in the Advanced Settings page, select the Yes radio button in the “Content Types” section, as shown in the figure below:

sharepoint document set vs folder

Now, in the SharePoint document library Settings page, click “Add from existing site content types” under Content Types.

sharepoint document sets

This will open the Add Content Types page where you can select “Document Set” and then click on Add like below:

document sets in sharepoint online modern

Create SharePoint document sets

The document set will be added to the SharePoint document library. Open the document library, and from the Ribbon, click the FILES tab and then click on Document Set like below:

sharepoint document set

This will open the New Document Set page, provide a Name and Description like below, then Save.

sharepoint document sets vs folders

Now the document set looks like below, where you can see All properties of the document set, Edit properties, and add documents inside it.

sharepoint document set

We can upload documents to a document set like we normally upload documents to a SharePoint document library. You can create a new document, upload existing documents, or drag and drop documents into the document set.

If you open the document library, you will be able to see the document set name, and if you click on that, you will be able to see all the documents you uploaded to the particular document set.

Overall, the SharePoint document library with document sets looks like below:

document sets in sharepoint

Conclusion

Choosing between SharePoint document sets and folders depends on your organization’s specific needs. For simple categorization and storage, folders may suffice. However, document sets are the superior choice for more complex scenarios requiring consistent metadata, versioning, and workflows across a set of related documents.

By understanding the differences between these two methods of organizing content, you can make an informed decision that will enhance your team’s productivity and improve document management within your SharePoint environment.

In summary, if you’re looking for a way to manage related documents with shared properties and a unified interface, consider leveraging the power of SharePoint document sets. If your needs are more straightforward and you need to categorize files without additional functionality, then traditional SharePoint folders may be the way to go.

The list is too large to save as a template. the size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes. https://www.spguides.com/the-list-is-too-large-to-save-as-a-template/ https://www.spguides.com/the-list-is-too-large-to-save-as-a-template/#respond Thu, 01 Feb 2024 12:59:46 +0000 https://www.sharepointsky.com/?p=968 read more...]]> This SharePoint tutorial explains how to solve “the list is too large to save as a template. the size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes” in SharePoint Online or SharePoint on-premise. The error comes while saving a list as a template in SharePoint.

I was trying to save the SharePoint list as a template with content recently. But it gave an error as Sorry, something went wrong. The list is too large to save as a template. The size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes.

The full error message looks like below:

the list is too large to save as a template. the size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes.
the list is too large to save as a template sharepoint online

The solution will work for any issues below:

  • the list is too large to save as a template
  • SharePoint the list is too large to save as a template
  • increase template size limit SharePoint online
  • increase maximum size of list template SharePoint 2013
  • the list is too large to save as a template SharePoint 2013
  • the list is too large to save as a template SharePoint online
  • the list is too large to save as a template the size of a template cannot exceed 524288000 bytes
  • the list is too large to save as a template. the size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes.

the list is too large to save as a template. the size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes.

By default, SharePoint on-premise allows the list template or site template to be a maximum of 50MB.

So if your list size is more than 50MB, then the above error will come. In SharePoint on-premises like SharePoint 2016/2013, we can change the Size from 50MB to more than that.

We can increase it using the stsadm command as well as by using the PowerShell command. The below command will increase the size limit from 50MB to 200MB. The value in the parameter will take in bytes.

Below is the PowerShell command to increase the SharePoint list template size in SharePoint 2013/2016.

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
 $webservice = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
 $webservice.MaxTemplateDocumentSize = 209715200
 $webservice.Update()

The above cmdlets will increase the limit for both list template size as well as site template size. This way we increase the maximum size of the list templates in SharePoint on-premise version.

the list is too large to save as a template the size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes (SharePoint Online)

In SharePoint Online, we can not change the list template size. If you got this error, then you need to make sure whether you want to take the full content or not. Or you can take save the list as a template without content. Or you can remove a few items or documents from the list or document library to make it less than 50MB.

Conclusion

We can not increase the list template size in SharePoint Online. But if you are trying to increase the list template size in SharePoint 2016/2013/2010, we can use PowerShell or STSADM.

I hope this will be helpful in resolving the error; the list is too large to save as a template. the size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes., which comes in SharePoint.

PowerShell get-date [With examples] https://www.spguides.com/powershell-date/ https://www.spguides.com/powershell-date/#comments Wed, 03 Jan 2024 18:05:48 +0000 https://www.sharepointsky.com/?p=8938 read more...]]> In this PowerShell tutorial, I will explain everything about the get-date PowerShell cmdlets with examples. Then I will cover the PowerShell get-date -uformat with examples.

PowerShell get-date

The Get-Date cmdlet in PowerShell is used to get the current date and time. It can also be used to format the output, create a datetime object with a specific date and time, and perform date arithmetic. When you run this command, PowerShell displays the current date and time, including details such as the day of the week, month, day, year, and the time down to the second.

Now, let us check a few usages of Get-Date with examples in PowerShell.

The basic syntax of the Get-Date cmdlet is straightforward:

Get-Date

When you run this command, you’ll see an output similar to this:

03 January 2024 23:20:53

After I executed the PowerShell script using Visual Studio Code, you can see the output in the screenshot below.

powershell get-date

One of the most useful features of Get-Date is its ability to format the date and time output. You can use the -Format parameter to specify the format of the date and time.

For example, to display the date in a “Month/Day/Year” format, you can write the script like below:

Get-Date -Format "MM/dd/yyyy"

Once you execute the code using VS code, you will get the output in the screenshot below:

Get-Date -Format "MM/dd/yyyy"

There are numerous format specifiers available, such as:

  • MM: Month number
  • dd: Day of the month
  • yyyy: Year
  • hh: Hour
  • mm: Minute
  • ss: Second

The Get-Date cmdlet allows you to format the date and time using the -Format parameter. You can use standard .NET date and time format specifiers.

Example of a custom format:

Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"

PowerShell get-date -uformat

The -UFormat parameter in the Get-Date cmdlet allows you to format the date and time output using Unix-like date formatting strings. This is particularly useful when you need to create timestamps for filenames, logs, or when you need to format the date in a specific way for display or processing purposes.

How to Use -UFormat in PowerShell get-date

Using the -UFormat parameter is straightforward. You need to provide a format string that specifies how you want the date and time to be displayed. Here’s the basic syntax:

Get-Date -UFormat "<format-string>"

The format string consists of special characters representing different date and time components. For example:

  • %Y – Year as a four-digit number (e.g., 2023)
  • %m – Month as a two-digit number (e.g., 04)
  • %d – Day of the month as a two-digit number (e.g., 12)
  • %H – Hour in 24-hour format (e.g., 14 for 2 PM)
  • %M – Minute as a two-digit number (e.g., 30)
  • %S – Second as a two-digit number (e.g., 45)

Let’s look at some examples:

# Get the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format
Get-Date -UFormat "%Y-%m-%d"

# Get the current time in HH:MM:SS format
Get-Date -UFormat "%H:%M:%S"

# Get the current date and time with custom format
Get-Date -UFormat "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"

Once you execute the PowerShell script using VS code, you can see the output like below:

powershell get-date -uformat

Practical Examples of get-date -uformat PowerShell

Let us check a few practical examples of get-date -uformat in PowerShell.

  1. Logging: If you’re writing a script that logs events, you might want to prepend the log entries with a timestamp:
$timestamp = Get-Date -UFormat "[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S]"
$logEntry = "$timestamp An event has occurred."
Add-Content -Path "C:\logs\eventlog.txt" -Value $logEntry
  1. Filenames: When creating files with a date-time stamp in their name, you can use -UFormat:
$filename = "backup_" + (Get-Date -UFormat "%Y%m%d%H%M%S") + ".zip"
# This will create a filename like "backup_20230412143045.zip"
  1. Data Processing: When processing data, you might need to convert date formats. For example, converting a date from one format to another for CSV output:
$dateForCsv = Get-Date "2024-04-12 14:30:45" -UFormat "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S"
# Converts to "12/04/2024 14:30:45"

Conclusion

In this PowerShell tutorial, I have explained how to use the get-date cmdlet in PowerShell, especially how to work with PowerShell get-date -uformat with a few real examples.
