People who are busy with SharePoint migrations know that it is useful to first perform an analysis of the content. There are some tools to help you but most of them aren’t free. At this moment I’m busy with creating an inventory of a SharePoint 2007 and I’ve automated it in a console application. The console application can also be used on a SharePoint 2010 version.
My console application “SharePointContentInventory” generates a xml of al the sitecollections, sites, lists and workflows with their properties.
For business users is a xml not readable so I have also written a Windows Forms Application that generates a treeview of the xml. If you click on a treeviewnode the properties are shown in the right pane of the application.
