Add, Update, Delete items in Sharepoint List

Using Microsoft Sharepoint APIs we can easily Add, Update and Delete list items programmatically. Provided below is a code snippet in C# .Net demonstrating all the three operations..

using (SPSite oSPsite = new SPSite("http://website url/")) { using (SPWeb oSPWeb = oSPsite.OpenWeb()) { oSPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true; // Fetch the List SPList list = oSPWeb.Lists["MyList"]; //Add a new item in the List SPListItem itemToAdd = list.Items.Add(); itemToAdd["Title"] = "Test Title"; itemToAdd["Description"] = "Test Description"; itemToAdd.Update(); // Get the Item ID listItemId = itemToAdd.ID; // Update the List item by ID SPListItem itemToUpdate = list.GetItemById(listItemId); itemToUpdate["Description"] = "Changed Description"; itemToUpdate.Update(); // Delete List item SPListItem itemToDelete = list.GetItemById(listItemId); itemToDelete.Delete(); oSPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false; } }
