Do an unsafe update in a unified manner

Anatoly Mironov

Recently I talked about a WithWeb-pattern as described in Jonas Nilssons blog where you can isolate the disposal logic in one place. Another thing is to isolate unsafe updates:

public static class SPWebExtension
{
    public static void UnsafeUpdate(this SPWeb web, Action<SPWeb> action)
    {           
        try
        {
            Log.Info("Trying to do an unsafe update on a web: " + web.Title);
            web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
            action(web);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Log.Error(e);
        }
        finally
        {
            web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
        }
    }
}
```The Log class is my own class which I presented in [my previous post](https://sharepointkunskap.wordpress.com/2011/09/19/a-simple-log/).
