Creating Custom SharePoint Site Pages by Object Model (Code only)

This is in continuation to my earlier post on Site Pages. In this post I have only used the object model to create and put a Site page again in pages library. A very simple piece of code which creates a stream and writes it to the file location in SharePoint. I know this approach will never be used in any project, though.  I have created this in a windows program and thus it is in a shape of method stub. One way to implement would be to put this in a feature receiver to work on feature activation.

private void DoFileStreamWriteFile()         {             ////Site url             string strUrl = "http://myserver0111:7000/";             using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite(strUrl))             {                 using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())                 {                     MemoryStream fileStream = new MemoryStream();                     StreamWriter fileWriter = new StreamWriter(fileStream);                     ////write the source of the page (include meta:progid so SharePoint Designer understands this file)                     fileWriter.WriteLine("<%@ Page MasterPageFile=\"~masterurl/default.master\" meta:progid=\"SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document\" %> ");                     fileWriter.WriteLine("<asp:Content runat=\"server\" ContentPlaceHolderID=\"PlaceHolderMain\" > ");                     fileWriter.WriteLine("<h1> Hello World </h1>");                     fileWriter.WriteLine("</asp:Content>");                     fileWriter.Flush();                     //// save the file to SharePoint                     oWeb.Files.Add(oWeb.Url+"/Pages/"+"MyApiGeneratedPage.aspx", fileStream);                     //// cleanup                     fileWriter.Close();                     fileWriter.Dispose();                     fileStream.Close();                     fileStream.Dispose();                 }             }          }

 

Now  build and deploy to see the magic happening yourself again.... J

Thanks for reading. If you have some other explanation – please post a comment… I’ll be happy to hear.
