Creating Discussion list programmatically

Hi All,

I come across to one class which is actually useful for creating a discussion because it has built in feature to do it.

I thought of sharing as of course with you all.

Here is a way to create discussion list programmatically.

First take an object of Web.

Considering that i am working in webpart.

SPWeb objWeb = SPContext.Current.Web;
objWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

objWeb.Lists.Add("My DiscussionMalay", "MyDiscussion11", SPListTemplateType.DiscussionBoard);

Here all we need to do is use SPListTemplateType for creating Discussion.

Then main portion comes here,

SPListItem objItem = SPUtility.CreateNewDiscussion(objList.Items, "This is the subject of Discussion");

Check, SPUtility class actually allows us to create a discussion.

objItem[SPBuiltInFieldId.Body] = "This is the Body of the Discussion";

objItem.Update();

objWeb.Update();

objWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

And That's it. your job is done...
