Šis ir viens no sērijas "for self reference" rakstiem, par lietām, kas kādreiz varbūt būs noderīgas arī kādam citam :) Vai ir nācies sadzīvināt kopā Asp.Net aplikāciju tajā paša komunālajā dzīvoklī, kurā jau mitinās Windows SharePoint Services? Nesen man nācās šādā komunālajā dzīvoklī apvienot...

Content type ID in the typical form looks like 0x01 00[GUID], where the part shown in bold is ID of a parent content type, 00 is a separator, and [GUID] is a GUID which makes content type ID unique.
