Closed Issue: TrainingBudgetWebPart: Control addition very verbose [2412]

Suggest that you should create a small helper method that does the row, cell, label addition to reduce the number of lines of code.

Closed Issue: RegistrationContentType.xml: Field definitions before reference in content type [2414]

Fields should be defined above the content type.
Also ...
Sealed SHOULD Be false unless there's a specific reason to seal.
Need the DisplaceOnUpgrade="TRUE" attribute on fields to force updates to be accepted.

Fields should be above content type that defines it.
Remove the staticname attribute from fields
Add DisplaceOnUpgrade="True" to field attributes

Closed Issue: Service Locator: Removal of type previously used for TypeMapping causes breakage [6889]

arangas — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:03:15 GMT

I created a custom ILogger, registered it with the service locator, and used it within my custom SharePoint PowerShell cmdlet. (Hence the Service Locator was running at farm level.)

I then decided to no longer use the custom logger and removed it from my project. I changed the code to use the default instance for ILogger. Using it from then onwards failed, as the service locator still continued to try loading my custom logger which had been removed. I tried registering the SharePointLogger explicitly and it continued to try loading my custom logger. I also tried using RemoveTypeMapping() and RemoveTypeMappings() and still the problem continued. It appears to always try loading the currently stored type mappings before changing them.

Here is the stack trace when trying to use RemoveTypeMappings():

New Post: SetWeb Doesn't Appear to Work...

jar240 — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:39:54 GMT

I've got this code in a _layouts/*.aspx page that I access via Central Admin. Even though I'm calling SetWeb() using another web's URL (in a different web app), the property bag returned is always that of the current context's (Central Admin) Web App.

Why doesn't SetWeb() work in this case?

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sphot.domain.com/sites/site1/web1"))
{
    using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
    {
        config.SetWeb(web);
        
        // aside: if you're using SetWeb, these enum labels become ambiguous, since I should no longer be using the "Current" anything.
        propertyBag = config.GetPropertyBag(ConfigLevel.CurrentSPWebApplication); 

        if (config.ContainsKeyInPropertyBag("setting1", propertyBag))
        {
            settings.UrlsToHit = config.GetFromPropertyBag<List<string>>("setting1", propertyBag);
            configExists = true;
        }
        //... etc.
    }
}
