Created Issue: ListName being passed when ColumnName is expected?

Frost — Thu, 21 May 2009 08:42:52 GMT

There is a call to createLookupColumn(currentWeb, sFinalCaml, sListName) passing in the ListName as the last parameter but it actually seems to be expecting the ColumnName (...string sColumnName) as the last parameter. I changed my version of the code to pass in the column name and it all seems to work fine.
Also, replaced the code "lookupColumn = web.Fields[sColumnName] as SPFieldLookup;" with "lookupColumn = web.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName(sColumnName) as SPFieldLookup;"

CREATED ISSUE: Field xmlns throws an exception during Content Deployment

An exception is thrown during content deployment for lookup fields created using this sample code. It reads "The element 'FieldTemplate' in namespace 'urn:deployment-manifest-schema' has invalid child element 'Field'..."

This is inheriting the namespace from your root Elements namespace. I've found success with the following code that sets the Namespaces property of the XmlTextReader to false:

XmlTextReader lookupFieldsXmlTextReader = new XmlTextReader(lookupFieldsFilePath);
lookupFieldsXmlTextReader.Namespaces = false;

COMMENTED ISSUE: createLookupColumn throws an exception if the Field definition's DisplayName attribute is different from Name

createLookupColumn throws an exception if the Field definition's DisplayName attribute is different from Name.

// AddFieldAsXml returns the field Name
string sCreatedColName = web.Fields.AddFieldAsXml(sColumnDefinitionXml);

// web.Fields expects the DisplayName
lookupColumn = web.Fields[sCreatedColName];

// This should do the trick
lookupColumn = web.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName(sCreatedColName) as SPFieldLookup
