I am building a custom workflow in SharePoint and I ise CAML query to retrive data about status of the task. However, at one point, an error started to arise: One or more field types are not properly installed... I checked internal nemes and everything is fine. The strangest thing is that the same code worked before. What can be the cause? I would extremely appriciate your help.

Thanks in advance

Excellent post, Karine!

This is one of the best posts that I've read on CAML. It's straightforward yet thorough. Unlike other articles that I've read about CAML, this one covers all scenarios.

Thank you very much!

Is there any (easy) way to call Lists.ASMX from an Infopath 2007 form and use the results in a dropdown?

Hi Boske,

This is the only place that I found this useful information about getting Calendar data throug lists.asmx webservice. But I got a problem and not sure why it behave this way. Basically, I was able to get calendar data from this month with all recurrence events. But when I click Next month, I put this code like you suggest in QueryOptions to set CalendarDate to the next month but it doesn't seem to effect anything. It's always return me the all events for the current month and upto the same day next month (e.i: if I query from today 4/21/2009, I'll get everything from April upto May 21) I can't seem to get further. Please help...

Thanks

XmlNode queryOptionsNode = camlDocument.CreateElement("QueryOptions");queryOptionsNode.InnerXml = "<ExpandRecurrences>TRUE</ExpandRecurrences>" + "<CalendarDate>2009-05-21T01:00:00Z</CalendarDate>";

Hello. Thank you for the helpful article.

I'm curious - has the method for expanding recurring calendar events over webservices been tested?

I have been able to get it working "server-side", as described in the iCal article; however - no combination of options seems to work for expanding recurring events using the web services interface.

Hi

I use the U2U caml builder gor queries and I use the shpt web services to retrieve data.

I am facing a problem. When I want to get the data from a particular view of the list, I pass the view name of the getlistitems method and it returns me the rows belonging to that view only.

However, when I try getting the data from a view based on a query, the query returns the data from the all items view rather than from that particular view only, and as a result I get extra rows, what should i do to prevent this?

Thanks a lot

Akshaya

There exist a number of community tools that help you generate your CAML. Another tool is the U2U CAML Query Builder. Besides a user interface in which you can design your queries, you can also use the DLLs from within your code to generate the necessary CAML.

Great article!

I would like to point out a great tool by John Holliday called CAML.net which helps write the CAML code for you and prevents quite a lot of typo errors. It is available on CodePlex at http://codeplex.com/camldotnet/
