Question

In sharepoint when trying to update a list I am getting the error:

0x81020014One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.

The Caml that is being created is:

<Batch PreCalc='TRUE' OnError='Continue'>
    <Method ID='1' Cmd='Update'>
        <Field Name='ID'>4</Field>
        <Field Name='Flagged'>False</Field>
     </Method>
</Batch>

When I run the Caml from U2U it works fine and the field updates. When I debug my code in VS I get the error above.

The code creating and calling the Batch is below:

var ws = new com.freud.intranet.lists.Lists {
  Url = WebServiceHelper.wsContactsList,
  Credentials = WebServiceHelper.AdminCredentials
};
var batch = "<Batch PreCalc='TRUE' OnError='Continue'><Method ID='1' cmd='Update'><Field Name='ID'>" + contactID
            + "</Field><Field Name='Flagged'>" + flag + "</Field></Method></Batch>";
var document = new XmlDocument();
var stringReader = new StringReader(batch);
var xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(stringReader);
var node = document.ReadNode(xmlReader);
ws.UpdateListItems("Master Contact Joining Table", node);

Why would the caml work in U2U and not in VS?

From Googling the problem could be because I am not using the intrnal names however it does run in U2U which is why I am confused.

Answer 1

I was using the wrong List in the code hence the error.
