SharePoint JavaScript Error Script5009 ‘type’ is undefined sp.js

December 17, 2015 / Kannan / 0 Comments

When we add the sp.js link to the SharePoint Webpart Page or simple ASPX Page and when the page loads we get the following error.

script5009 ‘type’ is undefined sp.js

The solution I saw in the web for this is, add Micrsofot Ajax script.

<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/4.0/1/MicrosoftAjax.js"></script>

Do note that this resolves the similar error which occurs when we add other SharePoint js files as well.

Decoding Query String with Unicode Characters

July 31, 2015 / Kannan / 0 Comments

Recently I came across an issue where the query string had unicode characters and ASP.NET’s “HttpUtility.UrlDecode” was not properly converting the characters. After searching few minutes came across the following solution posted by cjsharp1 at Stackoverflow.

private string GetQueryStringValueFromRawUrl(string queryStringKey)
{
    var currentUri = new Uri(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + 
        HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority + 
        HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl);
    var queryStringCollection = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString((currentUri).Query);
    return queryStringCollection.Get(queryStringKey);
}
