As a developer, I never really spent a lot of time focusing on SharePoint.

I just finished reading an excellent book:  Applied Architecture Patterns on the Microsoft Platform by Seroter, Fairweather, Thomas, Sexton and Ramani. (PACKT Publishing 2010.)  IMHO this is a book that all ISVs and other developers basing their solutions on Microsoft technology should read.

Recently got a customer who was having a very simple code in an application page (in _layouts folder) to find the crawled properties, which are mapped to a managed property in Search Service Application (in SharePoint 2010) as given below: 1: SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(SPServiceApplicationProxyGroup.Default, SPSiteSubscriptionIdentifier.Default); 2: SearchServiceApplicationProxy searchProxy = context.GetDefaultProxy( typeof (SearchServiceApplicationProxy)) as SearchServiceApplicationProxy; 3: SearchServiceApplicationInfo ssai = searchProxy.GetSearchServiceApplicationInfo(); 4: SearchServiceApplication application = Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchService.Service.SearchApplications.GetValue<SearchServiceApplication>(ssai.SearchServiceApplicationId); 5: Schema sspSchema = new Schema(application); 6:   7: ManagedPropertyCollection managedProperties = sspSchema.AllManagedProperties; 8:   9: foreach (ManagedProperty managedProperty in managedProperties) 10: { 11: string managedPropertyName = managedProperty.Name; 12:   13: //check to see if the managed property is mapped to one of our crawled properties 14: foreach (CrawledProperty crawledProperty in managedProperty.GetMappedCrawledProperties(managedProperty.GetMappings().Count)) 15: { 16: if (!mappings.ContainsKey(crawledProperty.Name)) 17: { 18: //if it is and has not yet been added to the list of managed fields, add it 19: mappings.Add(crawledProperty.Name, managedPropertyName); 20:   21: } 22: } 23: } Now when we hit the line 14 ( ManagedProperty.GetMappings() .Count), it always returns 0 (zero) as Mappings count. Now I am the Farm Administrator and the Service Account but still I am not able to pull in the data. If I am logging into SharePoint Central Admin, I am able to see all the mappings from the SharePoint UI.

Our fantastic documentation team released an update to the SharePoint SDK today that includes a raft of important things for prospective SharePoint Online developers. In particular is the SharePoint Online General Reference topic.

Hi, In order to delete a out of the box content type from a list/Library  (item, document, etc..), you need to delete it from name as the associated Id in the list is a child of the site contentType . When you add a site content type to a list or library, SharePoint Foundation makes local copies of any columns that are referenced by the content type and adds them to the list’s fields So to delete for example the item content type, you will need to: SPContentTypeId ListitemContentTypeId = list.ContentTypes[web.ContentTypes[ SPBuiltInContentTypeId .item].Name].Id; list.ContentTypes.Delete(ListitemContentTypeId); Namaste!

This week I’ll be presenting at DevConnections conference in Las Vegas, specifically I’ll be at the SharePoint arm of the conference called SharePoint Connections . This is a 4-day conference about how SharePoint developers, administrators and power users can take advantage of the SharePoint 2010 & Office 2010 platform. We will also have some deeper sessions on how developers can use SharePoint Online, the cloud version of the SharePoint 2010 that will be shipped with the Office 365 release.
