WssSite object on this code, I am getting error on this, “you are missing a using directive or an assembly reference?” any idea
Hi Bala,
WssSite is an Webreference for the lists.asmx
Terviseks,
Uday
Excellent. Thanks Uday. Your post saved me lot of time in my migration project 🙂
You are welcome Jaya
