I have a sharepoint 2010 list that I'm using to track servers and the app installed on them. I have writen a c# console program that reads the server name from the list and then queries the servers using WMI to keep the list current. The text fields update with out a problem but I am having a problem with a column that contains a lookup to a 2nd sharepoint list. the 2nd list has a list of application platforms ( Dot Net 4.5, Java, Sharepoint, Biztalk) that could be installed on a server. When I update the Lookup field everything looks good while tracing in Vistal Studio but the sharepoint data never actualy updates.
The line svr.InstalledPlatforms.Add(plat); doesn't throw an error and the collection gets a added too.
svr is the row in the sharepoint list, InstalledPlatforms is the mult-select lookup, plat is the row in the lookup table called platforms
The responses from:
dc.UpdateObject(svr);
var responses = dc.SaveChanges();
all come back with 204 - no error
