Saving the wolf

I love wolfs, there's something special about the stare of a wolf.
When I went to visit the "Grupo lobo" wolf' center in Mafra, portugal, it really impressed me.
One of the university teachers that work there took me and my family to see the wolfs, and the feeling on our part, was one of excitement and nervousness.
Suddenly we saw a female, and the teacher started howling... the female responded...
Every hair in my neck was up. The air became so dense I almost stopped breathing.

One of these days, i plan to spend the night there. They have some bungalows you can rent.
You just gotta go there, if you come to Portugal.
I plan to adopt a wolf soon.

Migrating from Thunderbird to Outlook

I receive a lot of mail everyday, and, as such, i must rely on the email client I use.
Thunderbird, has been giving me bad news for too much time now.
The time has come to change. I was very disapointed to discover that there is no easy way to migrate my emails from Thunderbird ro Outlook, so I decided on the proven way of doing it.
I got myself an email server with support for IMap and now im using an IMap account to pass my emails from one client to the other.
So far, so good.

By the way, since it was a temporary thing obviously I was not interested in buying an email server, so I got a free trial version of "EmailArchitect" Email Server from http://www.emailarchitect.net/ and I'm quite happy I did. The product is great and reliable and half of my 30.000 messages are already on Outlook.

And, did you know Outlook now supports RSS feeds? Well... I didn't, there goes RSS bandit...

Trying to use an SPWeb object that has been closed or disposed and is no longer valid.

Simple!

Do NOT do this:

using(SPWeb webSite = SPContext.Current.Web) {
...
}

or

SPWeb webSite = SPContext.Current.Web;
...
webSite.Dispose();

otherwise SharePoint looses it's SPWeb object !

Calling SPQuery without parameters

You can call SPQuery without parameters, i.e. without specifying a view.

This gives you extra flexibility/safery, in case someone changes the view you specified.

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("url here"))
{
using (SPWeb web =
site.OpenWeb())
{
SPList list = web.Lists["list name here"];
SPQuery
query = new SPQuery();
query = new SPQuery();
string caml = "caml code
here";
query.Query = caml;

SPListItemCollection results =
list.GetItems(query);
SPListItem item = (SPListItem)results[0];
}
}

CAML queries on Lookup fields

I was trying to do a CAML query for a Lookup field, which has a format like ;#, as you know, and i just could not get any results.

The secret is not:

<where><eq><fieldref name="MyField"><value type="Text">...

but

<where><eq><fieldref name="MyField"><value type="Lookup">...

This is it! Use <Value Type="Lookup"> instead of <Value Type='Text'> and it will work!
