SharePoint: PortalContext – gives “Value cannot be null. Parameter name: site”
I came across the following problem in PortalContext API.
Say I have created a portal with port number 9091. I am using the following code snippet to retrieve the portal context.
[working though we changed the port number]
TopologyManager tm = new TopologyManager();
PortalSite ps = tm.PortalSites[ new Uri[https://karthickmain:9091)];
PortalContext ctx = PortalApplication.GetContext(ps);
The code works fine no problem. For some reason, I have changed the port number to 9092. Now I have modified the code by changing the port number.
[not working]
TopologyManager tm = new TopologyManager();
PortalSite ps = tm.PortalSites[ new Uri[https://karthickmain:9092)];
PortalContext ctx = PortalApplication.GetContext(ps);
The code doesn’t work. Its giving the following error. “Value cannot be null. Parameter name: site”
But if I use the same port number 9091 and execute the earlier code, its working fine. Because of this issue, getting the portal context by hardcoding the portal url is not advisable.
