Accessing Lists through Sharepoint Object model
Is accessing the list taking more time…
Consider the following while accessing the list through Object model
- SPWeb.GetList(string url)
In this case, first it gets the list GUID from the url(database hit), then it loads the Meta data for that specific list. - SPWeb.Lists[“name”]
This method loads the meta-data information of the all lists for the SPWeb object under consideration. and then it does SPList.Title comparison with metadata of all the lists returned and returns the first matching list from the SPWeb.Lists collection.
The first approach provides better performance than the second one.
If we pass GUID of the list instead of a list name in the second approach it works similar to the first approach (SPWeb.GetList (url)), however passing a List Index would work similar to the second approach.
