Adding ContentType when using language packs

Question

Hi.

 

I have the following scenario: 

- create a SPContentType using the constructor (id, collection, name) - id = WorkflowTask id + a guid

- delete the content type

- try to re-add it. The following error occurs: the  A duplicate content type "myContentType" was found.

This happens only if I have a pwa created with a language different than en-US. 

The scenario with creating, deleting, creating works on a different language pwa if I create the content type using the constructor (parentContentType, collection, name)

 

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi Mealexro,

Can you find the content type 'myContentType' even after deletion?  I am wondering if in the case of having multiple language packs loaded that you are getting multiple content types created and then only 1 is deleted - but just a guess.

Best regards,

Brian.

Answer 2

No, after deletion, I searched into sharepoint DB and there was no content type having the ID of my content type. 

 

It is strange that this happens only if I create ContentTypes using the constructor with ContentyTypeID.

Seems like when creating ContentTypes, the thread UICulture must be the same as SPWeb UICulture so adding the code below solved the problem:

 

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = myWeb.UICulture;
