So, here’s a question for you:
“Why do the Java developers get paid less than those working on the Microsoft stack? Because they can’t C#!”
I guess that joke works better when told, not written.. I’m sorry.
Anyway, C# (or C-sharp when trying to get rid of special characters) is more or less Microsoft’s competitor for Java. Multiparadigm, but largely Object-Oriented programming language.
This post describes the (probably) easiest and most straightforward way of creating a new Thread in your SharePoint (or any other .NET) server-side / desktop code. Solution: how to create a new Thread Let’s face it – one should not create new Threads lightly when developing SharePoint solutions, but sometimes it’s difficult to avoid. Or sometimes it’s just the simplest way to get around weird framework limitations.

At times you may need to allow unsafe updates for SPWeb objects to get your code to run. This, in SharePoint’s C# full-trust code, is done by setting SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates to true. However, as this is an exception to security settings, you should generally avoid it. When you can’t, it’s a good practice to limit the change to as small a scope as possible. This is true even though the setting is only persisted for the duration of the request (unless the SPWeb object was gotten…Continue reading How to properly use SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates?
This post is about a small programmatic workaround to creating new SPFields for SPLists in SharePoint with human-readable internal names. This is mainly a usability improvement for your editors (and doesn’t change your life that much), but at the very least they will probably appreciate it! In short, I’ll show you how to avoid SharePoint’s dirty encoding (like replacing a space with “_x0020_”). This appliesto when you’re using server-side code to generate fields. Problem: non-readable internal names for SharePoint list fields When you create a…Continue reading Programmatically creating readable internal names for new SharePoint fields
