SharePoint list.asmx web service

Question

I want to build a office outlook application. I want to display all documents with their folder and documents. I want to get all subfolder and their document file.

In Sort get all document library with their all folder subfolder and documents.

I am able to get all document library with their folders and document but can't get subfolders with their document file.

So it's possible using list.asmx web service?

Answer 1

I recommend that you take a look at the Client Object Model (CSOM). It's easier and more efficient to use in the scenario that you describe.

Answer 2

Yes it is possible, when you call getListItems of Lists.asmx the second last attribute is an XMLNode optionQuery . u need to pass the correct xml to get fully recursive list.

xml will go something like this:

<QueryOptions><SomeTag FullyRecursive="True"></sometag></QueryOptions>

I dont remember the exact syntax as i have used it a long back try to find it out.

EDIT

Hey this is the exact xml i used

<QueryOptions><IncludeMandatoryColumns>FALSE</IncludeMandatoryColumns><Folder>" + "MobileDocs" + "</Folder><ViewAttributes Scope=\"RecursiveAll\" /></QueryOptions>
