Property Bag IN Share Point

Property Bag in Share Point

              Allows storing configuration settings at different levels of SP hierarchy outside of the application itself.

·         a hash table of key value pair
·         Available since SharePoint Services 3.0, SP2010 and SP2013.
·         This is something like as how we will store values in AppSettings of web.config file.
·         This information could be anything like connection strings, server names, file paths .
·         We can encrypt the property bag value
·         We can access Property Bag from CA or site settings
·         We can Import and export Property Bags

     Property Bags can be created/modified/Deleted from SP Designer, using object model.

     

     NOTE: SP Provides UI to access the Property Bag settings. But in SP Foundation we need to set the property bag configuration through programmatically only.

     

     SP Provides Property Bags to store and retrieve  Config values at following levels.

1)      Farm Level

2)      Web Application Level

3)      Site Collection Level

4)      List Level

5)      Item Level

//set Property Bag value

using (SPSite oSIte = new SPSite(siteId))

                {

                    using (SPWeb oWeb = oSIte.OpenWeb(webId))

                    {

oWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates=true;

oWeb.Properties["PropName1"] = Value1;

                             oWeb.Properties["PropertyName2"] = Value2;

oWeb.Properties.update();

oWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates=false;

}

      }

//access property bag value.

using (SPSite oSIte = new SPSite(siteId))

                {

                    using (SPWeb oWeb = oSIte.OpenWeb(webId))

                    {

String propName= oWeb.Properties["PropName1"];

}

        }
