It seems like searching with CAML and SPQuery doesn't work properly against custom metadata, when searching for SPFolders instead of files, or when searching for custom content types.

I'm invoking one of SharePoint's web service APIs that returns a CAML fragment. I've searched the interweb far and wide but I've been unable to figure out how to make this CAML fragment to render as "normal" HTML that I can render in a more sane environment like Plumtree, WLP, Liferay or any other portal besides SharePoint. Without a wa...

Has anybody ever successfully written code to extract data from a SharePoint 2007 list (specifically, an InfoPath form library) using the GetListItems() method in the http:///_vti_bin/lists.asmx service (and lived to tell about it)? It returns some of the worst XML I've seen in my life (it's not even compliant XML). Is there some easy w...
