@craig great idea except I don't have streaming media services as an option in-house so this was the next best thing rather than setting up a new server.

Hey Bil,

great work, but why not use Streaming Media Services? It's probably lighter on resources and friendlier on the network than a UNC share...

Later'ish

re: Defaulting Values in a Multi-Lookup Form in SharePoint

Hi, Thanks for putting this in a blog.

However, If the number of items in the lookup column is more than 20, then in the viewsource, the select markup does not come and the values are shown in the input tag. I have provided the viewsource markup in the msdn post for your refernce. How to change the jquery for the same.

If you use for example ReSharper you get those suggestions automatically.

@Salvo: Please note that less code doesn't always result in a readable and/or comprehensible code. There are times when less code will damage the architecture of the entire App, or times where less code accompanies more "comments", or even it results in poor performance. These (and many other) are conditions that we need to take into account. :)

What about the performance on the 'FirstOrDefault' tip? Any significant difference?

Using the Linq extension method Count with lambda expression will be more effective compared to the corresponding Any(lambda) method. More or less it always depends - on the ORM, on the underlying server, etc.

Another simple tip for code reduction is this one.

var x = entity.Where(some condition).FirstOrDefault();

Becomes:

var x = entity.FirstOrDefault(some condition);

That was a total "no way!" moment for me. I'm switching to using that by default from now on. Thanks for the tip.
