Syntax

[ClientCallableTypeAttribute(Name = "Utility", ServerTypeId = "{16f43e7e-bf35-475d-b677-9dc61e549339}")]
[SubsetCallableTypeAttribute]
public static class SPUtility

Remarks

Because all the methods of the SPUtility class are static, you do not need to instantiate the class to use them.

Examples

The following code example iterates through the collection of document discussions for a document library and uses the SendEmail method of the SPUtility class to send email notification to a specified address if the total number of comments made about a document is more than 20.

This example requires using directives (Imports in Visual Basic) for both the Microsoft.SharePoint and Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities namespaces.

SPWeb site = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);

string Msg = "";

SPDocDiscussionCollection discs = site.GetDocDiscussions("Document_Library_Name");

foreach (SPDocDiscussion disc in discs)
{
   if (disc.CommentCount > 20)
   {
      Msg = "The file <A href='" + disc.DocUrl.ToString() + "'>" + disc.DocUrl.ToString() + 
         "</A> has received " + disc.CommentCount.ToString() + " comments.";

      SPUtility.SendEmail(site, false, false, "e-mail_address", "Web Discussion Report", Msg);
   }
}

Thread safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
