Examples

This example, CreateNewFolder("My Pictures", "1"), shows how to create a new folder named "New Folder" in the "My Pictures" picture library under the "1" folder. In this example, the new URL is " siteUrl/My Pictures/1/New Folder ".

Note

This code assumes that the site and the picture library already exist and that you have permissions on the server. If the site and picture library do not exist, see the second example.

Dim imgws As New Web_Reference.Imaging()
imgws.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
imgws.Url = "http://MyServer/sites/mynewsite/_vti_bin/imaging.asmx"
imgws.CreateNewFolder("My Pictures", "1")

Web_Reference.Imaging imgws = new Web_Reference.Imaging();
imgws.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
imgws.Url = "http://MyServer/sites/mynewsite/_vti_bin/imaging.asmx";
imgws.CreateNewFolder("My Pictures","1");

This example shows how to create the site and the picture library required in the preceding example.

Note

You must be a member of the Administrator site group on the server that is running Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services to be able to add a reference to the Admin Web service and perform the required actions.
