I am using C# programming language and want to define whether Office Web Apps installed on server in order to hide/show MenuItemTemplate
My variant is as follows:
if(!Ispostback)
{
bool b = File.Exists(@"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Microsoft Shared\\Web Server Extensions\\14\TEMPLATE\\LAYOUTS\\WordViewer.aspx");
mit.visible=b; // mit- means <SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate>
}
but I need something else... what is the correct method?
Search through the registry.
Here is one example from Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/908850/get-installed-applications-in-a-system
mit.Visible=GetInstalledApps(); from above mentioned link. Thank you very much Robban1980.
{ { using (RegistryKey sk = rk.OpenSubKey(skName)) { string s= (string)sk.GetValue("DisplayName"); if(s=="Microsoft® Office Web Apps") { return true; } }} return false; }
