Here is steps to add new item as a folder in sharepoint list programmatically.
- Create new instance of site with your current application
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.Url.ToString()))
{
- Create new web instance and open web for current application
using (SPWeb webFolder = site.OpenWeb())
{
- Get folder by folder name in list
SPFolder folder = webFolder.GetFolder("/Lists/Your List Name/Your Folder Name");
- Check whether folder is exist in list or not, if not then create new folder
if (folder.Exists)
{
Response.Write("Folder name already exists.");
return;
}
- Create list and Get County list
SPList list = webFolder.Lists[Your List Name];
- Set AllowUnsafeUpdates to true to insert new item through code
webFolder.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
- Create new item to add
SPListItem item = list.Items.Add();
item.FileSystemObjectType = SPFileSystemObjectType.Folder;
- Set values for the folder name
item["Title"] = “Your Folder Name”;
- fire update event for County list
item.Update();
webFolder.Update();
}
}
-That’s it for adding new item to your sharepoint list as folder.
