    <p>I have the following code:</p> <pre><code>using(SPWeb web = ... { .... SPListItem item = GetItemById(id); item["Status"] = status; item["Reason"] = reason; item.Update(); } </code></pre> <p>And I got an exception "Cannot complete this action"... however, trying to figure it out, I noticed something... weird...</p> <p>I put a breakpoint exactly in the line item.Update()... while debugging I let the exception to happen, and then I went to my Watch window and put there "item.Update()"... the item was updated...</p> <p>Then.. I started all over again, but, this time, I tried "item.Update()" in the watch window, an exception was thrown.. then I press F10 to execute my code, and for my surprise it successfully updated the item..</p> <p>I have tried this over and over, and always is the same... so, for some weird reason, the first time it's failing and the second one is good.. does anybody know why?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>I've tried this:</p> <pre><code>SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() { .... item.Update(); }); </code></pre> <p>But, it still fails, now with the exception: "Operation is not valid due to the current state"...</p> <p><strong>EDIT 2:</strong></p> <p>this is moss 2007, it is a web application (asp.net) connecting to a sharepoint site, both columns exist.. </p> <p>I've found another thing.. if I put a breakpoint in item.Update(), and I press F10, it works.. the item is updated..and no exception is thrown... but in normal excecution, it always fails.. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
