Sharepoint Code .co.uk

Its often you want to make a new sharepoint publishing page or to update an existing one strait via code. In csharp, thanks to microsoft’s ever improving sharepoint support this is really easy. One of the key points when updating publishing pages however is getting and setting the right page layout.

You can use code like this to cycle through the available page layouts, this can be the easiest way to find the one you want.

foreach (PageLayout lo in pubweb.GetAvailablePageLayouts())
{

//some code for page layouts

}

…and to set the page layout of a sharepoint 2010 publishingPage in csharp you usually just include it in the edit code. We will post more about this in the future.

Here is the different page layouts (defaults – if you create your own you will have to set a page to use it then use code to find the correct name – or just be sure you know it beforehand) and their sharepoint values – you can use these to programmatically set the layout of a sharepoint 2010 page in csharp (migration code is a prime example.)
