The easiest way using code is an event receiver that checks the item count.
Something like this:
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace ItemLimitEventHandler
{
public class Class1 : SPItemEventReceiver
{
public override void ItemAdding(SPItemEventProperties properties)
{
if (properties.OpenWeb().Lists[properties.ListId].ItemCount > 20)
{
properties.Cancel = true;
properties.ErrorMessage = "There are already 20 items in this
list.";
}
base.ItemAdding(properties);
}
}
}
For more information about event receivers, see my blog
(www.sharepoint-tips.com<http://www.sharepoint-tips.com>) ,but it is basically
just a class library (sign, and put in GAC or bin). To register the event
receiver on an existing library, either use a feature, or code, or my utility
pack
(www.codeplex.com/spstipsutilitypack<http://www.codeplex.com/spstipsutilitypack>)
That is the simple way.
The complex way is to develop a custom policy...but you wanted simple.

I have SharePoint designer and can get access to have Visual Studio
installed... I am just looking at the easiest path... as I have not had that
much experience with Visual Studio..

So...no sharepoint designer, and no visual studio, implement a list item limit
on a list?

Hello all,
Firstly thanks for all the advice on Server Farm configuration. Another quick
question as I am not technically a developer but due to having to adapt in a
small workplace - I have had to dabble in just about everything ....SharePoint
Designer and Visual Studio, Server setup etc etc....
What I need to know is that is there a way to set the number of items allowed
in a list (not displayed i.e. It would only allow 20 items to be inputted)
without any customisation through designer and and if so how? if not can anyone
advise me on how I could achieve this?
Regards
Peter Milliner
