  • Thank you, Vince, for your reply. I will handle querying in the next entry of this serie. Also I will there that querying is normal way to get data and why it is good plan to avoid using full size item collections.

  • I agree with Vince. Using SPQuery/CAML is the correct way of getting items from a list, your code might look a bit overkill - but the performance increase is overwhelming.
    We recently ran into performance trouble, which was not present during the test phase, and the reason was that one of our list which we foreached over had grown to about four times it's size - a quick switch to a simple CAML question solved it, and even made it perform better than ever.

  • Lets say that items 1,2 are returned. On the website, when you click item 1, it opens up another page with the item details. How do we get to the details once we have the list ?
