In this post we will discuss about SharePoint 2010 list and also we will some code sample of SharePoint 2010 object model.

You can access a List by its name or by its URL.
- When retrieving a list by name, you can use the
TryGetList method of the SPListCollection, which returns null if the list does not exist.
- When retrieving the list by the URL, you can use the GetList method of the SPWeb object, which throws a System.IO.FileNotFoundException if the list does not exist.
Code Samples:
using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("Site URL"))
{
using (SPWeb site = siteCollection.OpenWeb)
{
SPList lstName = site.Lists.TryGetList("NameOfTheList");
if(lstName != null)
//do your work
else
//List does not exists
try
{
SPList taskList = site.GetList("/Lists/Tasks");
//do your work
}
catch(FileNotFoundException)
{
//List does not work
}
}
}
- Lists maintain items in a Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection object, which is accessible via the Items property of SPList.
- Items in the collection are returned as Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem objects.
- You can iterated over using a foreach statement, or directly accessed using either the item’s ID or index.
-->
- Each individual SPListItem maintains a Hashtable of values representing the properties of the item.
//Add new item to list
SPListItem newItem = list.Items.Add;
newItem["Title"] = "This will be the title";
newItem.Update;
//Bind the item to gridview
SPListItemCollection items = list.Items;
gridview1.DataSource = items;
gridview1.DataBind;
//Delete Item by Index
list.Items[0].Delete;
//Update Item by Index
SPListItem updateItem = list.Items[0];
updateItem["Title"] = "Updated Title";
updateItem.Update;
- When creating new items in a list, the Update method must be called to save the new item. If the Update method is not called, then the list item will be lost.
- If the item was edited by another user before the update is saved, the operation will fail.
