                                          Change is Inevitable
This absolutely applies to Client Requirements, but not to our code . In other words, the above statement is one of the 3 design principles of Software architecture.
                                System should be Fault Tolerant.
This means, our system should be adoptable for changes and shouldn't break for every reasonable change.

Uploading Documents Programatically to a Content Organizer Enabled Site

We have covered Content Organizer / Metadata Routing in SP2010 in earlier post.
We have created all the required infrastructure for meta data routing or Content organizing. So only task remining is uploading the documents.
Well ! we cannot ask the users to navigate to Drop Off library and upload their documents. Right?
So i have created a simple Webpart for uploading the documents for the specific content type.
 Now we need to upload the selected files programatically to Drop Off Library.

Well Now you have to tell me wether answer is correct or not?

If you understand above definition, the answer is "Correct".

Lets take an example of exam report. It will have all the subjects listed and maximum marks, achieved marks, result and grade.  To summarize everything, we call it "Report Card".

When you say "Report Card" , it signifies everything mentioned above. So "Report Card" is metadata using which we can classify all the Marks and grades information.
Now lets see what metadata has to do with Sharepoint 2010.
