Create a new folder in a sharepoint list

Reply Contact

Hello there,

I'm trying to create a new folder in my sharepoint list on submit event. I use the Microsoft.Sharepoint assembly to do it. There is the code i came with :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPSite oSiteCollection = new SPSite("http://srvspsdev/");

SPWeb oWebsiteSrc = oSiteCollection.AllWebs[""];

SPList oList = oWebsiteSrc.Lists["testPOR"];

oWebsiteSrc.Site.WebApplication.FormDigestSettings.Enabled = false;

oList.Folders.Add("/testPOR/" + root.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Approvals/my:Departments", NamespaceManager).Value, SPFileSystemObjectType.Folder, formName);

oList.Update();

oWebsiteSrc.Site.WebApplication.FormDigestSettings.Enabled = true;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But when a submit my form, it just don't create anything... I've been searching for some other way to do this but couldn't find any... Any help would be appreciated!!

Thank in advance!

Well i've finally managed to do it!

Here's how to do it, for those who would need it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPSite oSiteCollection = new SPSite("Your site collection");

SPWeb oWebsiteSrc = oSiteCollection.OpenWeb();

SPList oList = oWebsiteSrc.Lists["The name of your list"];

oWebsiteSrc.Site.WebApplication.FormDigestSettings.Enabled = false;SPFolder folder = oList.RootFolder.SubFolders[root.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Approvals/my:Departments", NamespaceManager).Value].SubFolders.Add(formName);

SPListItem item = folder.Item;

item.Update();

oWebsiteSrc.Site.WebApplication.FormDigestSettings.Enabled = true;

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that in this line (SPFolder folder = oList.RootFolder.SubFolders[root.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Approvals/my:Departments", NamespaceManager).Value].SubFolders.Add(formName);)

if you want to create a folder directly in the list (not in a folder of the list), you can scrap "SubFolders[root.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Approvals/my:Departments", NamespaceManager).Value]".

I hope it is clear for everyone!
