This post is also because people said they required a more reusable extension method than here that tapped into SharePoint. Tyrants! While I was doing a code review that tapped into some of the calendar segments of SharePoint I found this issue come up. When passing date parameters into SPUtility.FormatDate it will expect that it [...]

Extension methods are a formidable programming construct that augment implementation abstraction and modularize segments of code, lending itself well for filling gaps that may be present in a closed API, such as the one that SharePoint provides. Often times there may be a particular method that is desirable on a particular type, however the options [...]

Auto-Implemented (or just automatic) properties are one of the new features in C# 3.0 that allow property declaration to be additionally succinct, lessening compulsory code thereby lightening maintenance and increasing readability. Auto-properties make SharePoint code, which tends to be property heavy for personalization features much easier to write, (sure, you can use the "prop" code [...]

Often times when building applications that will greatly use SharePoint views for data rotation it is helpful to build CAML builders into separate static classes that return a continuous string representation of the arbitrary query. In order to demonstrate this, consider the following examples BuildDefaultViewQuery, BuildPrivateViewQuery, and BuildPublicViewQuery: PLAIN TEXT C#: private static string BuildDefaultViewQuery() [...]

For whatever rationale, typed iterations to dump particular SPRecycleBinItem objects out of the SharePoint recycle bin don’t work due to a problem with the proc_DeleteRecycleBinItem stored procedure.  But it seems to be indeterminate and I can’t locate any sort of thresholds. So, for some reason: PLAIN TEXT C#: public static void NonWorkingRecycleBinDump(string url) { using [...]
