Changes are not committed when the Commit() method is called in SharePoint Server 2007 or in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

Article ID:948724
Last Review:March 8, 2008
Revision:1.0

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You create two lists in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003. You create and register a new feature. Additionally, you create a new list item and then trap the event. In the event handler, you perform a get on the target list property. Then, you call the following method.
property.ChoiceList.Add( source.ListItem.Name);
property.Commit();
In this scenario, if only the ChoiceList property is modified, the changes are not committed when the Commit() method is called.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
