How do you with CAML provision a View to a already existing list? I know how to add views through list definitions.

You can't add a view to a list using the declarative model as you would in a list definition. The best way to do this would be in a Feature Receiver, using .NET code.

Sounds good, could you dive into some more details please? If I understood you correct I should write some CAML as in a list definition. But how do I apply It to a list through code? Isn't there a way to apply it declarative? – Tim Jun 20 '12 at 16:34
No CAML. You'll need to write code. Get a new SPView, add the columns using myView.Add("Title"), for example. – Derek Gusoff Jun 20 '12 at 16:45
OK, never mind, I may stand corrected. According to this blog, you might be able to add the CAML to the SPView's Query property.devx.com/dotnet/Article/31762 – Derek Gusoff Jun 20 '12 at 16:48
Thank you, the blogs information looks promising. Will dive into it when I got some time over for it! – Tim Jun 20 '12 at 17:05

I think you can do like here : Specifying advanced webpart properties on a view in a custom module?

Im sorry, I think the correct term to use in my question is View, and not ListView, which I used. The Code you refer to instancitetes a XsltListViewWebPart. Which is something different from what I'm trying to achieve. – Tim Jun 20 '12 at 16:22
