Property Value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection
An SPListItemCollection object that represents all files in the document library.

Examples

The following code example displays the relative path based on the site and the file name for every file in the document library.

The example assumes the existence of an .aspx page that contains a label control.

Dim site As SPSite = SPControl.GetContextSite(Context)
Dim web As SPWeb = site.AllWebs("Site_Name")

Dim docLib As SPDocumentLibrary = CType(web.Lists("DocLib_Name"), SPDocumentLibrary)
Dim items As SPListItemCollection = docLib.Items
Dim item As SPListItem

For Each item In  items

    Label1.Text += SPEncode.HtmlEncode(item.File) & "<BR>"

Next item 
SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["Site_Name"];

SPDocumentLibrary oDocumentLibrary = (SPDocumentLibrary)oWebsite.Lists["DocLib_Name"];

SPListItemCollection collListItems = oDocumentLibrary.Items;

foreach (SPListItem oListItem in collListItems)
{
    Label1.Text += SPEncode.HtmlEncode(oListItem.File) + "<BR>";
}
oWebsite.Dispose();

Note

Certain objects implement the IDisposable interface, and you must avoid retaining these objects in memory after they are no longer needed. For information about good coding practices, see Best Practices: Using Disposable Windows SharePoint Services Objects.
