// Best Practice To Retrieve List Item
// Below example updates the Task list Item based on the task id ....
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite oSiteCollection = new SPSite(url))
{
using (SPWeb spWeb = oSiteCollection.OpenWeb())
{
spWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList oList = spWeb.Lists["New_Task_List"]; // Gets the entire List Collection and then picks the list mentioned
SPListItem oListItem = oList.GetItemById(taskid);
//Instead the following should be used, get the intended list directly
//SPListItem oListItem = spWeb.GetList("/Lists/New_Task_Lis/AllItems.aspx").GetItemById(taskid);
if (oListItem != null)
{
oListItem["flag"] = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
oListItem["actiontaken"] = "Claim";
oListItem["actiontakenby"] = CustomUtility.GetUtility().GetLoggedInUserID();
oListItem.Update();
}
tempID = Convert.ToInt64(oListItem["TicketNumber"].ToString());
}
}
});
