Remarks

This topic includes three code examples:

• Create and import a DocumentSet

• Import properties

• Get a DocumentSet and send it to an OfficialFile

Examples

using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement.DocumentSets;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;

namespace CreateNewDocset
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//This sample will create a new Document Set and
//then copy it to a second location
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("https://localhost"))//Get the site
{
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)//Get the web
{
SPList list = web.Lists["Shared Documents"];//Get the list
SPFolder folder = list.RootFolder;//Find the folder to create in
SPContentType docsetCT = list.ContentTypes["Document Set"];//Find the content type to use
Hashtable properties = new Hashtable();//Create the properties hashtable
properties.Add("DocumentSetDescription", "New Document Set");//Populate the properties
DocumentSet newDocset = DocumentSet.Create(folder, "Docset1", docsetCT.Id, properties, true);

//Now we'll export it so we can create an exact copy of it somewhere else
byte[] compressedFile = newDocset.Export();

//Then we get the target list
SPList targetList = web.Lists["Shared Documents Backup"];
SPContentType secondCt = targetList.ContentTypes["Document Set"];
SPFolder targetFolder = targetList.RootFolder;

DocumentSet.Import(compressedFile, "Docset1 Backup", targetFolder, secondCt.Id, properties, web.CurrentUser);
