[SOLVED] : Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldMap.GetColumnNumber(String strFieldName, Boolean bThrow) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection.GetColumnNumber(String groupName, Boolean bThrowException) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection.GetRawValue(String fieldname, Int32 iIndex, Boolean bThrow) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.GetValue(SPField fld, Int32 columnNumber, Boolean bRaw, Boolean bThrowException) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.GetValue(String strName, Boolean bThrowException) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.get_Item(String fieldName) at XPoint.Base.Extensions.c_SPExtensions.GetFieldValue

I wanted to retrieve a SPListItem  value and got error while debugging as- "   at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldMap.GetColumnNumber(String strFieldName, Boolean bThrow)    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection.GetColumnNumber(String groupName, Boolean bThrowException)    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection.GetRawValue(String fieldname, Int32 iIndex, Boolean bThrow)    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.GetValue(SPField fld, Int32 columnNumber, Boolean bRaw, Boolean bThrowException)    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.GetValue(String strName, Boolean bThrowException)    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.get_Item(String fieldName)    at XPoint.Base.Extensions.c_SPExtensions.GetFieldValue"


I started banging my head like anything. because for another column of  same field type it was working fine and for one of the column of same field type it was giving this error. Those fields i have created through schema. So i created one more column of same type and tried to work on that.Errr!!.. still same error.

After doing thorough debug and analysis i realized about the root cause of issue. Yes yes yes!!.. We have  one lookup field already and we are saving values in few fields through workflow and event receiver. This is also kind of look up process.  By default SharePoint  has its own settings and we can extend it .

This was causing because the "List View Lookup Threshold". By default its value is 8. We can further increase it to required number. In my case i made it as 13. and the result is AILAAAA!!!.. working fine.. :)

Here i have mentioned steps to fix this issue:

1. Open sharepoint 2010 central administration site and select the web application which is having your site causing the issue.Click on General Settings and select Resource throttling












2.Scroll down till List view lookup Threshold and change the number from 8 to any upper value..Here i have mentioned 13 for my purpose





















Now save this change and check.!!!


Hope this may help someone

cheers

The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults

Hi Guys,   I came across this issue  today. I was totally blank. Later i started observing the issue and realised that, this issue is caused just because of  mismatch of assembly version or any attribute  in Security token service's web.config file (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebServices\SecurityToken). Actual issue was i upgraded the assembly version and didn't do changes in web.config file of security token service This blog helped me to fix my issue http://underthehood.ironworks.com/2011/05/sharepoint-2010-an-exception-occurred-when-trying-to-issue-security-token-the-server-was-unable-to-p-1.html thanks pradeepa achar

[Solution] :How to not serialize the __type property on JSON object

While working on ajax- webservice , most of the time we prefer return value from web service method should be in JSON format . If we expect a web service method to return the value as JSON object then it will display few information about the source code through the __type property. Also this property is additional load for response. We ideally need to avoid this property Have a look at the below image in which it is returning JSON object which has my custom properties along with __type property. Here i have used burp suite penetration testing tool to test the loophole in our software. Through fiddler i have got the information about request /response  and wanted to hide error message which gets generated from exception. Usually stack trace may allow hackers to  retrieve error message which  contains code related information by using which hacker can easily find the loophole to hack the function.So when  exception arises hacker should not be...
