I have created a new Document Library and set up custom content type with MS Word Document Template. When i click on Create new template it works fine. but i need to be able to add some logic on a button event where it will go into that library and create a new document, so that when i go into that library i will see a new document that has been created by that button event.
i tried doing it as i would do a regular list item, but i got the following error on item.update:
To add an item to a document library, use SPFileCollection.Add()
Now i did some research but everywhere i see the code for uploading a file to the document library but no where i can find how to add a new document using my template that is associated in that doc library.
please help and thanks.
public static void colFileMtod()
{
using (SPSite objsite = new SPSite("http://smi-dev.na.sysco.net/SyscoFinance/FSR/"))
{
using (SPWeb objWeb = objsite.OpenWeb())
{
SPFileCollection collFiles = objWeb.GetFolder("BPCPublishRecord").Files;
SPList lst = objWeb.Lists["BPCPublishRecordCopy"];
if (lst != null)
{
if (objWeb.Lists.Cast<SPList>().Any(list => list.Title.Equals("BPCPublishRecordCopy", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)))
{
foreach (SPFile file in collFiles)
{
string strDestUrl = collFiles.Folder.Url + "/" + file.Name;
byte[] binFile = file.OpenBinary();
SPUser oUserAuthor = file.Author;
SPUser oUserModified = file.ModifiedBy;
System.DateTime dtCreated = file.TimeCreated;
System.DateTime dtModified = file.TimeLastModified;
SPFile oFileNew = collFiles.Add(strDestUrl, binFile, oUserAuthor, oUserModified, dtCreated, dtModified);
SPListItem oListItem = lst.AddItem();
oListItem = oFileNew.Item;
oListItem["Created"] = dtCreated;
oListItem["Modified"] = dtModified;
oListItem.Update();
objWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
}
}
}
}
}
