SharePoint DataLayers
It's great to see how flexible SharePoint 2007 actually is. You can create lists that can contain all sorts of data. Add columns, create data types, create content types etc. But great flexibility has a price. All to often I lay my eyes on code that's not readeable, manageable or strongly typed. Which leaves a lot of room for errors. In this post I'll drop some of my ideas on how to create and access lists in a SharePoint 2007 solution. Which will leave you with strongly typed access to your content types.
