RE: Content Type Hub - Ct Declarative Customizations
Hi Nigel, Are you saying the RegistrationID is case-sensitive, or that it simply doesn't work when lower case letters are present?

The resolution was to make sure that the RegistrationId proprty in the CustomAction element contained only upper case letters (not some lower ones, like the CreateGuid util produces).

Modifications bound to the content types stored in the SPContentType object get pushed out to subscribing site collections correctly (eg. event receivers, workflows etc.), however declarative modifications that are associated to the content type (eg.

RE: Content Type Hub - Ct Declarative Customizations
It doesnt work when there a lower-case letters present (at least for me). All of my GUIDs are mixed case (as CreateGuid or vis studio 2010 generates them), and I found after changeing it to all upper case in the RegistrationId attribute of the CustomAction element made it suddenly start working on the published content type.

Re: Content Type Hub - Ct Declarative Customizations
Have a read of these, others have experienced issues using declarative content types with a content type hub, although it seems as though this might be possible with workarounds. http://www.paulgrimley.com/2010/11/cannot-use-sharepoint-feature-to-deploy.html http://nickhadlee.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/making-features-that-deploy-content-types-compatible-with-the-content-type-hub/ http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chaks/archive/2011/02/09/content-type-hub-limitations.aspx See point 9, which states its not possible, they then link to further information that says it might be :) Sezai.
