Step-1:
Open Visual Studio 2012, From the left side select Office/SharePoint and then from the right hand side select SharePoint 2013 Visual Web Part.

Add a Geolocation column to a list programmatically in SharePoint 2013

Here in this article we will discuss about how we can add a Geolocation column to a SharePoint 2013 list using SharePoint 2013 client object model.

SharePoint 2013 Preview introduces a new field type named Geolocation that enables you to annotate SharePoint lists with location information. In columns of type Geolocation, you can enter location information as a pair of latitude and longitude coordinates in decimal degrees or retrieve the coordinates of the user’s current location from the browser if it implements the W3C Geolocation API.

First we need to add the below 2 dlls to work with SharePoint 2013 client object model.

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll

Then we need to write the using statement like below:

using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;

Below is the full code:

ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://site url"); 

List oList = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("MyCustomList");

oList.Fields.AddFieldAsXml("<Field Type='Geolocation' DisplayName='Location'/>",true, AddFieldOptions.DefaultValue);                                        

oList.Update();

context.ExecuteQuery();

Difference between SharePoint designer and Visual Studio workflows

Below are some differences between SharePoint designer workflows and Visual Studio workflows.

SharePoint Designer:
- SharePoint Designer is a code-free environment.

- Through designer we can make Sequential workflows only.

- Workflows created by designer can be deployed across a site collection only not beyond that.

- These workflows automatically deployed into SharePoint.

- Visio can be used to model workflow logic.

- But no debugging available to step through a workflow at runtime.

- Intuitive support for forms customization.

- Workflows cannot be modified at runtime.

- Compiled just-in-time.

Visual Studio:
- Code-centric development

- Visual studio workflows supports both sequential and state machines.

- These workflows deployable across entire farm via a feature.

- Must be packaged within a feature and deployed by a farm administrator or in a sandbox.

- No support for Visio.

- Full debugging experience available.

- Less intuitive InfoPath integration. Availability for ASP.NET custom forms.

- Workflows can be modified while running.

- Compiled at design time.

Correlation ID in SharePoint 2010

SharePoint 2010 maintains logs in different areas. So it is very difficult to find what exactly the error is. But SharePoint provides a id which is known as correlation ID which is nothing but a GUID that is assigned to each conversation a user does or a SharePoint process does.

A site collection administrator can take the correlation id and search in the trace log to know where exactly the error occurred.

Just to remember for each entry in the trace log it contains a Correlation ID.

Also that entry contains the correlation id and some meaningful error message.

The correlation ID is exposed when an error page is displayed, and throughout the trace logs
