Getting access denied error while updating list items

I was getting access denied error while updating list items, I already tried to put my code into SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges delegate, still I was getting error. Below was my actual code.

CODE:

//code line for updating list columns

Listitem.update()

List.Update()

After doing debugging and removing line by line from actual code I have figured out actual problem – the user who has contributor rights(normal user) was getting access denied error, admin users can able to update list without any problem, it’s because of LIST.UPDATE() statement, because contributor rights users don’t have permission to change anything into List settings, they can add/delete list items but they can’t able to change anything into list, after removing LIST.UPDATE() statement from my actual code, all users were able to successfully update the list items.

Enjoy!

Error while updating list items "Cannot complete this action. Please try again."

I was getting error while updating list items; after looking into each code line by line, I have found that error comes due to incorrect syntax near CAML query, I feel that SharePoint didn’t give us good user friendly error message to debug into our code. After making correction, my code work well.

Enjoy!!
