A fix for SharePoint content types from Martin Hatch
Mon, Oct 13th 2008 11:55a   Daniel Larson
I just picked this up from MSDN forums on SharePoint development: Martin Hatch found a great fix to the issue of fields in content types. Without this code, you have to define fields from content types in the list's schema.xml definitions, which is a HUGE pain, and leads to maintenance problems. This is because lists define the entire schema for the list, and content types are data objects that can be defined within that data space, with the potential for several content types within a single [read] Keywords: development microsoft sharepoint xml

Best Practices for Elevated Privilege in SharePoint
Fri, Jun 6th 2008 1:53p   Daniel Larson
Elevated Privilege can be used to bypass or work with security, and can be performed either through SPSecurity or through impersonation techniques involving the SPUserToken and the SPSite class. It's one of the most misunderstood aspects of the SharePoint API, but in general you should always prefer impersonation using the SPSite class and SPUserToken objects. While I've been ranting about SPSecurity over the last few days, it can be useful for running code under the context of the application p [read] Keywords: Sharepoint application applications development enterprise network security sharepoint

Since I've been ranting on this for a few days, I thought I'd wrap it up. When SPSecurity was first found, we thought it was the best thing in the API since since SPPeanutButter. We used it... we abused it... we loved it. Over the course of the last few months though, it betrayed us. We started to see all sorts of obscure bugs when working with the SharePoint object model within the delegate in RunWithElevatedPrivelege. One such issue was with My Sites.

Troubleshooting SharePoint CAS (Code Access Security)
Tue, May 27th 2008 12:01p   Daniel Larson
Last week I spoke at the Rocky Mountain (Denver) SharePoint User Group and we talked about CAS. CAS is great because it limits what your code can do. For example-- you can know that my code won't compromise x because it doesn't have permission to even talk to type x. It can be difficult for  developers that aren't familiar with CAS to grasp the concepts. Typically, your project CAS requirements can be determined early on in the project lifecycle, and don't change often over the course of develo [read] Keywords: Sharepoint Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Sharepoint services development google microsoft network security sharepoint xml

SharePoint Elevated Privilege without RunWithElevatedPrivelege

RunWithElevatedPrivilege drops the identity of the code to the process user, which is either the current user in a console application or the application pool if run in the web application. It requires a ton of CAS permissions and is generally overkill for what you need to execute as system. And did I mention-- the Microsoft support policy on it is a little fuzzy? It can also lead to bugs as objects cannot reliably be passed into the delegate-- especially constructs like the SPUser object.
