Hi there,
I've approx 2 months experience in SharePoint 2010 and now start using SharePoint 2013. I've a ASP.NET C#, javascript background and some intermediate knowledge about sharepoint , sharepoint designer and web part.
I need to develop a simailar thing like a webpart, but I assume it's called 'APP' in SharePoint 2013, so let's say APP from now.
document library contains some XLS, DOC,DOCX, PPT, etc.
I need to develop a APP that when the users checks the checkbox in document library (which is on a page) to select the FILES/Documents press a button it should select the files and send the file names and location to a webservice. So I need to consume webservice.
I googled and found some info maybe I can use a CustomAction in a Ribbon, so when the user goes to a library and checks some files and then (s)he goes to the Ribbon and press the a BUTTON (custom action) and these should select the file names and path and call the webservice with these parm.
Question 1) since I'm newbie in SharePoint 2013, is the idea correct? Shall I use the custom action for this approach?
Question 2) I know programming, but don't know what to use in SharePoint, can you please advice me what controls shall I use? I means I shall create a project in Visual Studio? Which template shall I use ? Apps for SharePoint 2013? then what ?
I mean I need to some keywords to google... As I wrote I know programming, I just don't know my way in SharePoint 2013. Please send me send keywords, wording, approach so I can google and find my way.
This APP should be deployed on whole SharePoint (farm), everybody all site collection should be able to use, And preferable the deployment should be done once to all sites, so it will be shown in the ribbon.
(I'm using Visual Studio 2013 and I prefer using C# if it can otherwise Javascript is also fine)
thanks for guiding me the way of SharePoint 2013.
