WSS up to its old tricks – when’s setting a "Title" not a Title – from the SPFile object

There I was preparing some demos for this upcoming conference and BAM, the old API
quirks are lurking.

Basically I wanted to simply set the Title or Name fields on a File
in a Document Library. All sounds simple enough.

Here’s the code:

It’s a pretty simple sample, grab the file you want – in my case I’m just picking
the first one.
Line 48/49 – compile and run, but do not set the Title of the file element.

*** Lines 50-52 are the winners.

So even though the in lines 48/49, there is actually a ‘Title’ property and it’s
settable, it falls on deaf ears as far as WSS is concerned.

I was hoping the File and its corresponding list item were kept in sync.…..never
assume.
