items. Performance issues.

Use Utility ClassesSharePoint

Provide unified way to interact with SPWeb SPSite SPList

Provide helper methods such as: Is user in a particular group (Soni, Admins) => Give me the absolute Url (/Arabic/Sites/Admins/)

=> http://server/Arabic/Sites/Admins/ More work, means better code base.
