I want to select a sharepoint list item which has the Maximum value for a particular column. How can I do this using CAML queries? <Query> <OrderBy> <FieldRef Name="particularcolumn" Ascending="FALSE" /> </OrderBy> </Query> The following CAML query would return the maximum value for a given column: var maxValue; try { using (SPSite objSite = new SPSite(sSiteUrl)) { using (SPWeb objWeb = objSite.OpenWeb()) { SPList objList = objWeb.Lists[sListName]; SPQuery objQuery = new SPQuery(); objQuery.Query = "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ColumnName' Ascending='False' /></OrderBy><RowLimit>1</RowLimit>";

I'm curious to know how other SharePoint developers setup their dev workstations. My current setup: Desktop with Server 2008 (only for Hyper-V, was using Vista before) Use Visual Studio 2008 on local machine for dev work Keep a local copy of SharePoint DLLs for referencing, no local SharePoint install Run SharePoint in a Server 2003 VM hosted on my local machine I develop all my SharePoint changes as a WSP and install them into the VM for testing. I don't run code in debug mode, but do write lots of trace statements to watch what my code is doing. Also, when I'm making quick changes, I

Is it possible, in Windows XP, to copy files to a Network Place from the command line, a batch file or, even better, a PowerShell script? What sent me down this road of research was trying to publish files to a WSS 3.0 document library from a user's machine. I can't map a drive to the library in question because the WSS site is only available to authenticate via NTLM on a port other than 80 or 443. I suppose I could alternately use the WSS web services to push the files out, but I'm really curious about the answer to this question now. Using a batch file, you can both log on to the resource

I have a simple 2D array of strings and I would like to stuff it into an SPFieldMultiLineText in MOSS. This maps to an ntext database field. I know I can serialize to XML and store to the file system, but I would like to serialize without touching the filesystem. public override void ItemAdding(SPItemEventProperties properties) { // build the array List<List<string>> matrix = new List<List<string>>(); /* * populating the array is snipped, works fine */ // now stick this matrix into the field in my list item properties.AfterProperties["myNoteField"] = matrix; // throws an error } Looks like I

I'm trying to work out a way to display the contents of the version column from SharePoint (i.e. the value that changes every time a file is checked in) as a field (or something similar) inside of a Word document. Ideally, I'd like to know how to configure SharePoint so I could click something like "Insert > Quick Parts > Document Property > Version", and it would include the version in the document. The goal is to make it easier for someone to correlate a printed version of a document with the version history of SharePoint. I have been able to add editable text columns to the Document content
