I tried searching on the net to programmatically insert a List as a webpart in a webpart page but was not lucky enough.

Any thoughts or ideas how i could Programmatically insert a List as a webpart in a webpart page

Many Thanks!

Solution

  • First add these using statements.

    using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages;

    Then in your code

    // First get the list
SPSite site = new SPSite("http://myserver");
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPList list = web.Lists["MyCustomlist"];

// Create a webpart
ListViewWebPart wp = new ListViewWebPart();
wp.ZoneID = "Top";   // Replace this ith the correct zone on your page.
wp.ListName = list.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper();
wp.ViewGuid = list.DefaultView.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper();

// Get the web part collection
SPWebPartCollection coll = 
    web.GetWebPartCollection("default.aspx",    // replace this with the correct page.
    Storage.Shared);

// Add the web part
coll.Add(wp);

    If you want to use a custom view, try playing with this:

    SPView view = list.GetUncustomizedViewByBaseViewId(0);
wp.ListViewXml = view.HtmlSchemaXml;

    Hope it helps, W0ut
