SharePoint Gotcha – It may have been deleted or renamed by another user
I recently had an error on one of our SharePoint sites that is the worst kind of error a programmer could face. It only happens sometimes.
It was a typical SharePoint 2007 code error, very vague. "It may have been deleted or renamed by another user." This error message is completely imposable because I wrote the code and it was not deleted or renamed.
I re-checked the code. Double checked the store procedures. I even commented out lines of the code to see where the error "It may have been deleted or renamed by another user" might be originating from. Not matter what I did, I still got the error.
What made the error even more strange was the page in question uses a query string. If the ID was 1 – 13. The page loaded without problem. 14 or more, I got the error message.
After a Google search I found out what my problem was. It wasn't me, it was them!
"People may experience a problem with Query string Field named as ID when the application is custom coded for share point site.
Problem arises when you use ID as query string parameter.Ex: http:xyz:1000/Pages/EditItem.aspx?ID=1."
Now come on Microsoft, really? I can't use ID in any custom Sharepoint code. That is a first.
