SharePoint Server 2007 Code Sample: Item-Level Auditing

Brief Description : This code sample shows you how to create an item-level auditing view programmatically in three different ways: using a custom SharePoint list, through the Excel client, and by manipulating the open XML file format to display auditing history using Excel Services on an application page.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides auditing by default but it does not give the ability for a non-administrator to view the auditing history of a specific document or item in a list.

This code sample shows a developer how to extend this auditing functionality to create an item-level auditing view in three different ways:

1. using a custom SharePoint list,
2. through the Excel client,
3. by manipulating the open XML file format to display auditing history using Excel Services on an application page.

It is accompanied by a thorough white paper describing the code as well as a setup document.
