Auto update data from one site collection list with multiple input

Asked By: Connor Vazquez Date: Apr 26, 2008 Category: Sharepoint Views: 687

Is there a way to automatically update(including deleting) items in a
list in one site collection from multiple lists in other site
collection?

Could workflow do this? I was thinking it would work well if I could
set up some rule for each of the input lists that if I added an item it
automatically added the item to the main list as well as if I deleted
an item it automatically deleted it from the main list.

Using event handlers will work. You'll just have to remember to
RunWithElevatedPrivileges when spanning site collections.

Do you have any suggestions on where to find documentation on how to
set this up?

Here's an impersonation example:

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
// do things assuming the permission of the "system account";
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(web.Site.ID))
{
Response.Write("content database name for this site is " +
site.ContentDatabase.Name);
}
});
