SharePoint Data Access Layer Part II
In part one I talked about strongly typed access to SharePoint list items and we did set a base for how to retrieve values in a more strongly typed fashion. In part two I'll extend this example and show you how to retrieve wrapped items from a SharePoint list.

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.

It is, no let me rephrase that, it WAS not the easiest task to implement such a lightweighted callback however. That's where this new CallbackController control comes around the corner. First outline the challenge I was facing.

Remember Yield?
A lot of the times when developers need some sort of enumeration they tend to create a generic list by default. Even if they realy need to iterate that list only once. Some good examples can be found in solutions offered to this code puzzle at less than dot(which is a great newcomer).
