InfoPath publishing: The following URL is not valid
"After publishing a lot of InfoPath forms, suddenly InfoPath 2007 started to prompt me with an error: The following URL is not valid: www.url.com"
Make sure you have a created site at root level. No need to stop system event notification. I have just created site at root level. when we create new site collection at that time do not forget to create root level site, if u create root level site it avoid the error "the following url is not valid" wich will come afterwards.

- Now Under Look and feel in site settings you can see the Master Page link.
SharePoint 2010 List Lookups and Relationships
- The SharePoint lookup field allows you to connect an identifier of one list and to display a different, friendlier field - such as name - for users to select. SharePoint 2010 adds the ability to create additional columns which display other fields from another list. (e.g.: In the case of a customer, it is possible to create a lookup on the ID of the other list and not only display the customer name but to also bring across multiple other fields).
- The second major improvement in lookup fields is that they now allow you to enforce relationships. You can choose to reject deletes which would otherwise orphan data - or you can have SharePoint automatically cascade deletes so that when you delete a customer all of their invoices are deleted as well. As a result SharePoint 2010 can now be used to create sites which have related data connected in ways familiar to users of traditional database tools - with the additional user interface options provided by SharePoint.
SharePoint 2010 - Client Object Model
SharePoint 2010 introduces the new Client Object Model.
"The Client Object Model (OM) is a new programming interface for SharePoint 2010 where code runs on a user's client machine against a local object model and interacts with data on the SharePoint Server. Client OM methods can be called from JavaScript, .NET code or Silverlight code and makes building rich client applications for SharePoint easy."
Approach for accessing data from server:
- SharePoint Server 2007: We use the SharePoint Web Services which then interacts with the SharePoint API to access the data.
- SharePoint Server 2010: We can use Client Object Model to interact with the SharePoint site to access the data.
