Copy \ Add Document to Document Set

In this article we can explore the copy document from a document library to document set through code.

Following are the activities involved in copying document:

• Find the document library
• Find the document by name
• Create a byte array from document
• Find document set and add document to document set

Inside Visual Studio

Create a new console application and name it as DocLibCreation. Make sure you change the target framework to .Net 3.5.

Add the following code into the Program.cs file:

public static void CopyDocument( SPWeb objProjectSite, SPWeb rootSite)

{

objProjectSite.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

SPList objList = rootSite.Lists.TryGetList("Source Document Library");

SPFile objFile = null;

Foreach (SPListItem itm in objList.Items)

{

if (itm.Name == "My Document")

{

objFile = itm.File;

break;

}

}

byte[] sourceFileContent = objFile.OpenBinary();

SPList prjDocsList = objProjectSite.Lists.TryGetList("Destination Document Library");

SPFolder folDocSet = objProjectSite.GetFolder("Destination Document Library" + "/" + "Document Set Name");

folDocSet.Files.Add("Document Name" , sourceFileContent, true );

FolDocSet.Update();

ObjProjectSite.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

}
