C# – SPSite Directory Selection (C#)

csharepointspsite

I have a code that is running through all the Sites that we have created in SharePoint and finding the Sites that have documentation. When I create the SPSite object (?), I am defining a specific directory, but no matter what I seem to do, the script always runs through all the Sites in SharePoint, not just the sites in the specified directory.

Here's what the line of code looks like:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://www.mysite.com/myprojects/ABC/"))

I'm trying to get the sites in the ../myprojects/ABC/ directory, but I am getting all the sites within mysite.com

Any ideas or insights would be greatly appreciated.

The question is: what does your iteration code look like? If you do a site.OpenWeb(), then iterate recursively through the direct children using the SPWeb.Webs property, you should be fine.

Your behaviour sounds more like you are using site.AllWebs, which returns all sites (SPWeb) in the site collection.

C# – Create Generic method constraining T to an Enum

Since Enum Type implements IConvertible interface, a better implementation should be something like this:

public T GetEnumFromString<T>(string value) where T : struct, IConvertible
{
   if (!typeof(T).IsEnum) 
   {
      throw new ArgumentException("T must be an enumerated type");
   }

   //...
}

This will still permit passing of value types implementing IConvertible. The chances are rare though.

C# – SharePoint SPSite Disposing

Yes you do. See "Writing Applications That Scale to Large Numbers of Users" in Best Practices: Common Coding Issues When Using the SharePoint Object Model. The correct pattern is:

foreach (SPSite site in this.WebApplication.Sites)
{
  try
  {
    ...
  }
  finally
  {
    site.Dispose();
  }
}

Calling dispose will not break the enumeration. It just cleans up the unmanaged memory used by the object.
