SharePoint – Deletion In Batches

December 16th, 2009

I have been facing an issue after inserting quite much data for testing into one of my lists. It was really hard to get rid of the data and the deletion in sequence was just a nightmare. After some googling I figured out batch deletion would be a perfect solution. Sample code is shown in the following:

Batch Deletion Code

As my data was huge in size like 100,000+ records were there. I prepared batches of thousands and deleted one batch at a time. During each batch, I applied a sleep as well. This way deletion was so fast that I was able to delete all records in like less than an hour.

SharePoint Template, Theme and Site Definition

December 3rd, 2009

If you have been reading stuff about sharepoint, you must have read/listened these three terms invariably. Yeah template, theme and site definition. All these three are different, lets talk about each one of these:

Themes

Difficulty level for this entity is lower. This is a collection of stylesheets and images to help creating a skin for the site. It’s all about the look and feel of your site. There are several style sheets already available in “TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\STYLES” folder.  But it is not recommended to modify these directly as it will effect other sites as well. Themes are available under “TEMPLATE\Themes” folder.

I had to pass through a scenario that may rare as far as working with MOSS is concerned, sharing it on my blog so it might help someone else. I had built an office automation application using MOSS. We need to pull legacy data within our application as well. In the application there were several sharepoint views.

Problem

After performing import for the legacy data, the total count of items was like more than 150k. I see the following problem opening up page in designer:

What’s in the Blog ?

September 8th, 2008

Hi Folks,

Welcome to my blog. You will find solution to problems that have given me a tough time :) I would like to share these problems with you so that it may ease someone’s pain. Now a days I have been working on MOSS and it really sucks. The bad thing is that too less support from Microsoft is available for MOSS and good thing is that too much support is available from the professionals working out there on MOSS.

 

Cheers …
