There are supposed fixes for this but I cannot get a decent reply so i am posting a new thread. I am getting the same error as what was in this thread. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointadmin/thread/66643b6e-3695-48db-83a5-770282f8251e I want to run the script but cannot without getting an error. Can I get step by step of how to run this script? Save the code into what? Run from what? On server or workstation? I am a sharepoint admin, not a developer so I'm a bit clueless when it comes to code language... using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using Microsoft.SharePoint; using System.Xml; namespace CA_TestingHotfix { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { FixField(args); } static void FixField(string[] args) { string RenderXMLPattenAttribute = "RenderXMLUsingPattern"; //Console.WriteLine("Please enter the URL of the site: (Press enter after typing):"); string weburl = args[0]; //Console.WriteLine("Please enter the Document Library Name: (Press enter after typing):"); string listName = args[1]; SPSite site = new SPSite(weburl); SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(); SPList list = web.Lists[listName]; SPField f = list.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("PermMask"); string s = f.SchemaXml; Console.WriteLine("schemaXml before: " + s); XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument(); xd.LoadXml(s); XmlElement xe = xd.DocumentElement; if (xe.Attributes[RenderXMLPattenAttribute] == null) { XmlAttribute attr = xd.CreateAttribute(RenderXMLPattenAttribute); attr.Value = "TRUE"; xe.Attributes.Append(attr); } string strXml = xe.OuterXml; Console.WriteLine("schemaXml after: " + strXml); f.SchemaXml = strXml; } } }

I have removed your new post in that (Old - previous post September) thread. Either post a reply to an old thread OR start a new thread. Don't do both. That only leads to parallel threads and they waste forum members time.

Hi adadm.morris, Thanks for your post. First, It’s a Console Application created by VS (Visual Studio) 2008 (or VS 2005). And the Application should run on the server. Second, I will try to give you a guide. If the VS2008 or VS 2005 is not installed on the server, please go to “Third” step. 1. Create a Console Application on the server as following: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms438026(v=office.12).aspx. You can copy the code to your project; 2. When you finish the “6” step (On the .NET tab of the Add Reference dialog box, select Windows SharePoint Services in the list of components, and then click OK. ), clear all the code in the Program.cs file; 3. Copy all the code, which you posted above, to the Program.cs file; 4. Click Start on the Debug menu or press F5 to run the code; 5. When a cmdlet form is pop-up, do following the guide text. First enter the URL of your SharePoint site, and then enter the document library name, and press “Enter” ; 6. Go to SharePoint site and check whether it works. Third, if the VS2008 or VS 2005 is not installed on the server, you should do this on a development machine, which is installed VS 2008 or 2005. The steps are similar with the “Second” step. But after you finish the “4” in “Second” step, you close the cmdlet form. Then find a “.exe” file in the “bin\debug\” folder of the project. Copy the “.exe” file to the server and run it, and go on the “5,6” in “Second” steps. Share your views.
