Migrating List which contains Lookup Fields from one Site to another Site including Data:

I have got requirement like, move/migrate the list with content from one site collection to another site collection.

Below are my approaches:

1. Save the list as list template with include content.
2. Download those list templates and save it into your local server.
3. Go to “list template” gallery of another site collection and uploaded all the list templates.
4. Create the list with based on the list templates. That’s it.

But one problem will arise here. I.e. the lookup fields are broken because lookup field referring list GUID is changed.  We can resolve it either by coding or by following below steps

Event Receivers:

Event Receivers has taken places either synchronously or asynchronously. If the action has taken before code execution.

All receivers that end with “ing” are synchronous and those which end with “ed” are asynchronous.

Synchronous Event Handlers will work before the event is completed while asynchronous event handlers will fire after the event is completed. 

Static-->variable, Method, Class, Constructor

Static Variables:

1. A value assigned to a static variable will be shared across all instances of the class.  On the other hand an instance variable may have different values across every different instance of the class.
2. Static variables can be mainly used for initialization purpose.

Static Methods:

1. Static methods cannot access non-static class level members and do not have a 'this' pointer. Instance methods can access those members, but must be called through an object instantiation.
2. Static methods can be called directly from class name.
1. Explanation: So, need to create instance for those classes that contain static methods in it.
3. Do not declare or override instance members in static classes.
4. Cannot initialize instance variable or class variables in static methods.
1. Explanation: if you declare instance variables in static methods. How can you use those variables? No chance to use of it. So not possible to create instance variables in static method.
5. Static methods can be used to initialize the variables. But can only be initialize static variables in static methods.

Bind lookup field data to the dropdownlist

Below code will help you to bind the lookup field data to the dropdown list.

if (spListItem["LookupField"] != null) {   SPFieldLookupValue spv = new      SPFieldLookupValue(spListItem["LookupField"].ToString());   string lookupValue = spv.LookupValue;   dropdownlist1.SelectedIndex = spv.LookupId;  }

 To bind field values to the dropdownlist:
