Using the code samples available on the Downloads tab, you can jump-start development of Office Live Small Business solutions. You can add these code samples to any Office Live Small Business account.

Note The downloads provided in an Office Live solution (.olp) format can only be added to an Office Live Small Business account with a locale of English (United States).
Some downloads are provided as zip files. Neither the user interface nor the code in these samples has been localized. The samples that create or interact with Office Live Small Business applications may not function correctly in an Office Live Small Business account with a locale other than English (United States) or English (United Kingdom).

Note If you use Mozilla Firefox as your Internet browser, the code in these samples may not function as described.

See interactive examples of the Contact Manager Web service

The Contact Manager Web Service Examples download is a custom business application that displays SOAP requests and responses for each method in the Contact Manager Web service. You can use these examples to create Web applications that interact with Contact Manager data.

UPDATED RELEASE: Contact Manager Web Service Examples (Jul 18, 2008)

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:01:04 GMT

The Contact Manager Web Service Examples code sample is interactive documentation for the Contact Manager Web Service methods. The download is a solution file (.olp) that can be added to any Office Live Small Business account with a locale of English(US) as a custom business application.
!! What the sample does
The business application added by this code sample, named *WebBCM Examples*, includes a Web page and a JavaScript file. When you open the Web page, you can click each of the 25 methods to view the SOAP request used to invoke the method. All parameter values in this code have been filled with sample data. You can edit the request or simply click a button to invoke it as written. The Web page then displays the response received from the SOAP request.

*Note* The code in this sample does not affect any existing data in your Office Live Small Business account. However, when you invoke several of the methods, such as the "Add" methods, sample data is added to your Office Live Small Business account. You may need to delete this data when you are finished using this sample.

!! Download the code sample
# Download the solution file (Webbcm_WS_Examples.olp) below.
# In an Office Live Small Business account, add the solution as a custom business application by following the instructions in the article _Add a Solution to an Office Live Small Business Account_ ( [url:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb862480.aspx]) in the _Microsoft Office Live Small Business Developer Guide_.

!! See the sample in action
# Open your Office Live Small Business account.
# On the left navigation bar, click *Business Applications*.
# On the left navigation bar, click *WebBCM Examples*.
# Click the file WebBCM{"_JS_"}DevSample.htm.

A Web page opens with the list of the Contact Manager Web service methods on the left.

For more information about the Contact Manager Web service, see _WebBCM Namespace_ ([url:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/webbcm.aspx]) in the _Microsoft Office Live Small Business Developer Guide_.

NEW POST: Time Card Code Sample - Solution failed verification

cheryle — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:31:49 GMT

Yes, I am afraid that any of the samples that are packaged as Office Live solutions (.olp) files can only be added to accounts with a locale of English (United States). I updated the text to try to make this clearer, and will make sure that a better solution is available as we move forward. Thanks for the feedback!

UPDATED RELEASE: Time Card Code Sample (Mar 06, 2008)

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:25:55 GMT

The Time Card code sample extends Project Manager, which is a business application available with any Microsoft Office Live Small Business account. This sample code shows a way to track time by project task, using tasks from one of your projects in Project Manager and a Windows SharePoint Services Web service.

!! Add the code sample as a solution
The download file, located under *Files*, is a solution (.olp) file, which you can easily add to an Office Live Small Business account with a locale of English (United States) as a custom business application. To learn more about adding solutions to an account, see [url:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb862480.aspx].

!! See the sample in action
In order to use the Time Card sample, Project Manager must be added to your account and items must exist in the Project Tasks list in Project Manager.

To add Project Manager to your account (if it has not been added):
# On the left navigation bar, click *Business Applications*.
# On the left navigation bar, click *Add Applications*.
# In *Select a category*, click *Collaborate with coworkers and clients*.
# In *Select an application*, click *Project Manager*. Click *OK*.
# In *Application or workspace details*, click *OK*.
# Enter items in the Project Tasks list in Project Manager.

In your new Time Card business application, in the document library, click the *samplepage.aspx* file. This sample Web page opens with a Page Viewer Web Part configured to display a time card. This time card allows the user to pick one project task and then click *Punch In* to track the time he is currently spending on that task. The total time spent on each task is then stored, so that the next time he opens the time card the time tracked so far on any task appears in the *Time spent on task* field.

Oops -I should really read the 'readme.txt' more carefully!

I just spotted the line in there that says 'This sample will not function in an Office Live Small
Business account with a locale other than English (United States).' so I guess I answered my own question.

NEW POST: Time Card Code Sample - Solution failed verification

martinjudd — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 10:59:56 GMT

Hi,

I tried to install the 'Time Card Code Sample' into my OLSB business applications but I got the error:

Solution failed verification

The solution you are trying to add is designed for a different language or country/region than your account. You can only add solutions that match your language and location settings. Contact the party from whom you received this solution, and request a new solution that matches your account’s language and country/region.

I am based in the UK and my OLSB account is set up as a United Kingdom account. Since the Office Live Small Business Code Samples home page says that the samples will only work on Office Live Small Business accounts with a locale of English (United States) or English (United Kingdom), I expected it to work.

Should this work with a UK based OLSB site?

Thanks
