Here the code snippet to create a new web application in SharePoint 2010 using Server Object Model.
Step 1:
Add the following namespace to project
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.SystemSpecific;
Step 2:
Write the following code for creating SPWebApplication
Here am taking some values from text boxes
try
{
int port = Convert.ToInt32(txtPortNo.Text);
string UserName = txtUN.Text;
string DBName = txtDBName.Text;
string ServerName = txtServerName.Text;
string SiteCollectionTitle = txtSiteCollectionTitle.Text;
string SiteCollectionDesc = txtSiteColDesc.Text;
string SiteColOwner = txtSiteColOwner.Text;
string SiteColOwnerEmail = txtEmailAddress.Text;
bool isAvail = CheckPortUsage(port);//Checking port is in use or not
if (isAvail)
{
SPWebApplicationBuilder builder = new SPWebApplicationBuilder(SPFarm.Local);
SPWebApplication newApplication;
builder.Port = port;
builder.ApplicationPoolId = "SharePoint - " + port.ToString();
builder.IdentityType = IdentityType.SpecificUser;
SPFarmManagedAccountCollection manaccountcollection = new SPFarmManagedAccountCollection(SPFarm.Local);
SPManagedAccount maccount = manaccountcollection.FindOrCreateAccount(@UserName);
builder.ManagedAccount = maccount; //use the SPManagedAccount to receive the username and password automatically
builder.RootDirectory = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\wss\\VirtualDirectories\\" + port.ToString());
builder.CreateNewDatabase = true;
builder.DatabaseName = DBName;
builder.DatabaseServer = ServerName;
builder.UseNTLMExclusively = true;
newApplication = builder.Create(); // Create new web application
newApplication.Provision();
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Port Not available");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
label1.Text = ex.Message;
}
//Here the actual method for checking given port number is in use or not
public static bool CheckPortUsage(int port)
{
try
{
new TcpClient(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, port)).Close();
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
