PropertyOrFieldNotInitializedException error using clientcontext

Question

_{Wednesday, June 27, 2012 8:26 AM}

Am getting this error , not able to figure out why. My code seems to be fine.

It fails after the line ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://win-6aokaqru2uv:19094/sites/Dem");

Error : ServerVersion 'context.ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.PropertyOrFieldNotInitializedException' System.Version {Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.PropertyOrFieldNotInitializedException}

ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://win-6aokaqru2uv:19094/sites/Dem");

context.Load(context.Web);
List cusDetails = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Customers");
context.Load(cusDetails);

//SelectedDateTextBox.Text = "Customers";

CamlQuery query = new Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery();
string camlQueryXml = "<View>" +
"<Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='EventDate'/><Value Type='DateTime' IncludeTimeValue='false'>" + SelectedDateTextBox.Text.ToString() + "</Value></Eq></Where></Query>" +
"<ViewFields>" +
"<FieldRef Name=\Title\/><FieldRef Name=\Location\/><FieldRef Name=\Category\/><FieldRef Name=\EventDate\/>" +
"</ViewFields></View>";

/* string camlQueryXml = "<View>" +
"<ViewFields>" +
"<FieldRef Name=\Title\/>" +
"</ViewFields></View>";*/

query.ViewXml = camlQueryXml;
MessageBox.Show(camlQueryXml);

_custDetails = cusDetails.GetItems(query);
context.Load(_custDetails);
context.ExecuteQueryAsync(new ClientRequestSucceededEventHandler(OnRequestSucceeded), new ClientRequestFailedEventHandler(OnRequestFailed));

Hi Cutloo,

Could you post your entire code here?.

I am posting my code as an example to see if this helps you solve your problem.

using (ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext("http://vsiffsp.datalandmz.com:4761"))
            {
                Site oSite = ctx.Site;
                Web oWeb = ctx.Web;
                List oList = oWeb.Lists.GetByTitle("Test");

                ctx.Load(oList);
                ctx.ExecuteQuery();
                if (oList != null)
                {


                    CamlQuery cmlQuery = new CamlQuery();
                    cmlQuery.ViewXml = @"<View>

<Query>

<Where>

<Eq>

<Value Type='Choice'>Not Started</Value>

</Eq>

                                  </Where>
<ViewFields>
                    <FieldRef Name='Source_x0020_Document_x0020_URL' />

                     </ViewFields>

</Query>

</View>";

                    ListItemCollection oListItemCollection = oList.GetItems(cmlQuery);
                    ctx.Load(oList);
                    ctx.Load(oListItemCollection);
                    ctx.Load(oSite);
                    ctx.Load(oWeb);
                    ctx.ExecuteQuery();

}

I have a test list and I am getting all the items that have status as "Not Started". Make sure you load the List object before running the query and run execute query. I quickly wrote this on Managed Client object model but the concept remains the same for ECMA script.

Silverlight requires absolute url and ECMAScript requires relative url.

This is mentioned in the link, I have provided.

Does it fail on ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://win-6aokaqru2uv:19094/sites/Dem");?

or on a line after it?

Yes the exception come on this line.

For ECMAScript you have to provide a server-relative URL:

[JavaScript or ECMAScript]
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext("/mySiteCollection/mySite");

Refer link

Hi NehaNavale,

you don't need to provide a server-relative URL, you can do it by absolute.

What I understand , Cutloo did it in winform/silverlight, am I right?

Can you publish your whole code?

By the way, look at this:

Hi Cutloo,

I faced the same problem in my console application.

ServerVersion = 'context.ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.PropertyOrFieldNotInitializedException'

After doing lot of searching on internet, I came to know that everybody is trying to change the code to make it work. But this didn't helped me.

I have mentioned the steps, following which I managed to resolve this issue -

Go to IIS --> <YourSPSite> --> _vti_bin --> Clent.svc --> Browse.
Observe whether this service is working.
If not working then follow the steps as mentioned below -
Go to IIs --> <YourSPSite> --> Bindings and remove all extra bindings. OR check AAM in SP Central Admin.
Again check the Clent.svc. Must be working now.
Run the code from Visual Studio, it should work.
