  Hi,

   

  I keep getting these nice errors from WSS from time to time. The most recent one is this, on a list import operation:

   

  FatalError: The 'Type' attribute is invalid - The value 'ItemFileConverted' is invalid according to its datatype 'urn: deployment-manifest-schema: SPEventReceiverType' - The Enumeration constraint failed.
  

  The full stack trace:

  The Enumeration constraint failed.

   

   

  So, what is this? A bug in WSS? We can see in this MSDN page on SPEventReceiverType that ItemFileConverted event receiver is indeed not registered... So if we export a list with an ItemFileConverted event receiver, we have no way of importing it...

   

  Moreover, there is this description on ItemFileTransformed:

  ItemFileTransformed -

  Indicates a file was converted.

   

  Hmmm... does this mean someone mistyped?

   

  Can anyone comment on this? Preferably someone from Microsoft..
