Note, this series starts at http://blogs.msdn.com/dwinter/archive/2008/06/28/migrating-wiki-pages-remotely-part-01.aspx One of the final touches was to take care of the “but this data here is out of place”, or “this string still has the old server”, etc type complaints. You may have noticed this,...

Once you start playing with this—the next one that comes to mind is… what about the images? It is a good question. I found...

Note, this series starts at http://blogs.msdn.com/dwinter/archive/2008/06/28/migrating-wiki-pages-remotely-part-01.aspx Now that that is done, it is time to consider some potential difficulties of this approach.

Now let’s look at getting the field by using just lists.asmx. You may notice that the segment of code I took this from is using...

There is one significant difference though that may not be...

I built some simple functionality to enumerate the available Wiki Libraries and allow for selection. I write...
